Chapter 69
Nicol
The next morning, I woke up when my alarm went of at 5 am, I think I only slept like 3 hours the laptop was still open on the bed and my notepad, clearly, I was more interested in this idea than I was letting on. I jump up and got in the shower. When I got out, I got dressed in my nurse outfit because I was clearly not going to have time when I get to the hospital. I closed the laptop put it underneath my arm and ran out of my room. I put the laptop down on the counter because I’m sure Nicolas will need it today then I grab a cup off coffee in my travel mug and ran for the door. Before I got to the door I was stopped by Nicolas. “Morning Nicol.” I turned around and the look on his face told me everything I needed to know I looked like shit. “I take it you didn’t sleep much last night?” “Morning Nicolas and no I did not.” “See if you resign you have all the time in the world to do your research and go look at places.” “Not now Nicolas I’m already late.” I open the door just to hear Nicolas say behind me “Enjoy your day.” I wanted to say you to but the door was already closed and I was already getting into the lift. I found Geoffrey waiting for me at the SUV. “Morning Geoffrey.” “Morning Nicol did you sleep last night?” “Not much and I’m going to be late.” “You won’t I promise.” I got in the SUV and Geoffrey drove like a bat out of hell to get me to the hospital on time. When I walked past the head nurse’s office, she was already having her morning meeting, which meant I was late. “Oh, look who decided to join us.” She said as I sneak into her meeting. “I’m sorry mam.” “I want you in my office after the meeting.” Was all she said. She didn’t like me much because of my contacts at the hospital and because I got special treatment with my schedule, so I knew the meeting wasn’t going to be a good one.
When everyone got there marching orders, I walked to the head nurse office her name was Adri, we didn’t like her much. And you could never call her on her name she didn’t like that at all. When she walked in, I immediately started to apologize. “I’m so sorry I was late, it won’t ever happen again promise….” She put her hand in the air to stop me. “It’s not just about today, you are slacking the last few months I tough it was because of your child’s sickness but clearly that was not the problem.” “What do you mean I walked over time as much as I could.” I interrupted her. “Don’t interrupt me.” “Sorry mam.” “You are dragging your feet with the patients, you look like shit this morning, I don’t really care that you have the Head of the hospital under your dumb or that you know one of the board members, your work is my responsibility and you look like shit today, go home and if you decide you want to be a proper nurse again, then you come back but not before then.” I was stunned what the fuck has brought this on. “I’m not sure why you so rude to me mam, I do take my job seriously I’m the nurse that works the hardest here and are always willing to work overtime.” “Well clearly you don’t need the money anymore.” That confused me even more how the fuck did she know this. “I’m not sure what you mean mam; I do need the money.” “Well, I heard you are living with a billionaire so I’m sure you don’t need it anymore now get out of my ward.” I walked out of the ward but I was flabbergasted what the fuck just happened and how did she know where I was staying.
I walked out of the hospital in a total daze, what the fuck just happened? Was all I could think about. No one knew I was staying with Nicolas I made sure no one knew about it, but clearly someone found out. I decided not to call Geoffrey to come and fetch me but walked threw the streets of New York thinking about what I really wanted and if I really wanted to go back after that. I could complain towards Nicolas which I’ll probable do but I don’t want him to do anything about it or I could go to the head of the hospital Dr. Versace and speak to him about Adri that was so rude to me. But do I want to do that to her and to myself I mean if I decide to stay, I still need to work with her and to go to Dr. Versace that will cause problems for her and in return she will make my life a living hell working under her. I was in a predicament and I really didn’t know what to do. What I wanted to do was speak to Nicolas without him interfering in the whole situation. But I knew Nikki needed him more this morning and I need him to take her to school without him worrying about me, so I made my way to Central Park where I sat on a bench drinking some hot chocolate and just thinking about my life. My life was so much less complicated without Nicolas, I didn’t have choices the only choice I had was surviving from the one month to the other that was it. Now Nicolas was giving me the world and I had no idea what to do with it. To tell you the truth I was scared that world will be ripped from underneath me in a second. I know he gave me the contracts and I know I’ll be fine with the amount of money he was going to pay every month for child support but still I want the life we have now only me in his bed that is all I want. And I had no idea how I’ll feel when he tells me he didn’t want me anymore, I think my whole world will fall apart.
