Chapter 72
Nicol
Clearly Nicolas is good in managing problems that is probable why he is so successful, I was still struggling with the fact that my baby, yes, I know she’s almost 12, will be famous just for being related to Nicolas. I wasn’t quite sure how Nikki will react to all of this. I was still processing the news of what we are going to tell the press when Nicolas already switched over to am I going to resign. Fuck I had no clue. “So?” He asked again. “I don’t know.” “Come on Nicol surely you should see this is not for you, resign spend a month or so at home with Nikki while you take refreshment courses and search for a place of your own. I mean we are going public with our whole story I can’t just kick you out now, can I?” He said it with a smile but it hurt deep down I think because that is what I was mostly afraid of. “No probable not.” I said. “Then what are you waiting for?” “Probable the push you are giving me today.” “Good then we will go and see Dr. Versace today and tell him you resign and then I want to have a talk to him about Adri Kemp.” “You said you are not going to get involved.” “If you stayed, I wouldn’t have gotten involved but you are leaving and someone should teach Miss Kemp a lesson in how to speak to others.” I didn’t really think he was wrong and if I don’t go back, I don’t have to see her again so he could do and say whatever he wanted, I was just happy that he said he wouldn’t have interfered if I went back.
“Well then you want to go and resign in your sweatpants or do you want to go and put something else on?” “You serious?” “Dead serious and then I want us to stop at the school I want to talk to the head master about Nikki and the attention she will be getting when the story comes out, I want to make sure there is enough security at the school. I also want you to make me and Geoffrey emergency contacts if you don’t mind.” “Off course I don’t mind. Well then I’ll probable have to go and get dressed.” I got to my room grabbed the first jean I saw and put it on with a nice blouse and some sneakers I was definitely not going to wear high heels in the snow. I grabbed my red jacket and found Nicolas still in his suit waiting for me. “You ready to change your life?” “I’m ready.” For some reason he actually took my hand and we walked out to the SUV where Geoffrey was waiting for us. Geoffrey open the door for me, Nicolas touched my ass as he helped me in, I didn’t look back at him but I did have a huge smile on my face. “Where to Nicolas?” “First the hospital, Nicol here is going to resign.” “Good for you Nicol these early mornings and late nights isn’t good for you.” “Many people do it Geoffrey.” I told them. “I know and it is a wonderful job if it is your passion but it’s not your passion Nicol dance was always your passion.” “Tell her Geoffrey.” Nicolas said. “Clearly you guys are teaming up against me.” “Not at all just telling it how it is.” Nicolas said. It got quiet in the SUV as we drove to the hospital. Nicolas took his phone and called his PR people he wanted a meeting at the house at 6 tonight. I could hear them asking him what it was about but he refused to answer he just told them they need to be there and they need to bring a camera to take a photo. As he put the phone down, we arrived at the hospital.
Geoffrey open the door for me, I got out and then Nicolas as soon as he was standing next to me, he took my hand again. This was different showing affection for me out in the open and where people will most definitely talk especially because I was on the verge of resigning. We walked all the way to Dr. Versace’s office, when his secretary saw me, she smiled “Nicol what are you doing here? Aren’t you working?” “Long story but I need to talk, I mean we need to talk to Dr. Versace.” That is when she noticed Nicolas. “Yes, off course go in.” I knocked on the door then I opened it. “Nicol my dear.” He said as he got of his chair. He gave me a hug then he saw Nicolas. “Nicolas so nice to see you.” “I wish the feeling was mutual.” Nicolas said bitterly. Oh, this is not starting very good. “What’s wrong Nicolas?” “I’ll speak when Nicol is done saying what she came here to say.” He was giving me an out, if I decide to stay he will keep quiet if I resign, he will say his say.
“First of all, Dr. Versace I want to thank you for your kindness and special treatment you gave me I’m sure it didn’t earn you any favors with the other nurses or the head nurses.” He looked at me perplexed. “Nothing I won’t do again.” He said. “Well today my worlds collided with each other doctor and it seems I’m put in a position where I have to resign.” “What? You want to resign? Why?” Before I could answer Nicolas move in “You sure about this?” He asked me “Yes it’s time to live my dreams.” “Well then I’ll take over from here.” Dr. Versace was looking at me then at Nicolas not sure what to do or say.
“Adri Kemp.” Was all Nicolas said when Dr. Versace chipped in. “She’s a problem I know but she’s a damn good nurse.” “Be that as it may she told Nicol here she knew she was staying with a billionaire and she doesn’t need the money, then she chased her from the premises because she was late, which she was not and because of all the special treatment she was getting.” “Oh my God no Nicol you can’t leave because of her.” Dr. Versace said. “I’m not just leaving because of her Dr.” Then Nicolas took over, “If this information get’s leaked before I send out a press release, I will pull all my funding from your hospital am I clear?” “Yes, off course I will speak to her.” “You’ll speak to her today, I don’t want my relationship with Nicol coming out not before we are ready.” “I’ll call her in right away.” “Thank you, Dr.,” Nicolas said. Then I walked to him and gave him a hug. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me I will never ever forget it.” He was actually wiping a tear from his eye as I let him go. “Bye Nicol.” “Bye Doc.” And just like that a huge chapter in my life ended. I was ready for the new one to start.
