Chapter 27
Vanessa
Had I actually taken it easy with my injured leg, I wouldn’t be going through this right now, but if I’m being honest, I have no regrets. I wanted to see the hospital, the children and everyone around. It was my first time here so it was still worth it.
I know I should be in that boardroom right now as that would also be my first briefing, but since it’s not too important and I know what Deininic’s talking to them about, I can always join them next time. Also, I already met them.
Trying not to exert too much pressure on my call, Hean back in my seat, placing my hands on the other two seats on my sides as I extend my leg
“Is there anything you need, Mrs Richards?” one of the bodyguards asks as he comes closer.
“Not for now.
I close my eyes to take a few deep breaths and just then, I imagine the children’s faces and it makes me smile. I was actually a little nervous because I was interacting with them for the first time. I didn’t know how they would receive me, but I’m glad they liked me.
I made sure to take note of everything they want. It looks like I have a lot of work to do and I’m so excited for it. I even look forward to going
to the orphanage.
As I continue thinking about them, I hear footsteps so I look over to the right. When I see Frank approaching, I notice he’s furrowed his eyebrows at me.
“What are you doing here?” he asks. “Shouldn’t you be inside the boardroom?”
“I ran into a little bit of trouble.”
“A little?” He scoffs, looking at my leg which I’ve left suspended. “Let me guess, you overdid it, right?”
“Yes, but I don’t regret it.”
“Let me see that.” He attempts to crouch down.
“No, it’s okay. You’re actually supposed to be in the boardroom.”
Straightening up, he says, “I know that, but let me see how bad it is.”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”
He chuckles dismissively.
“You two, stand over there and make sure no one
no one comes through this hallway,” he instructs the bodyguards.
“Yes, Sir!” They both say in unison as they leave.
Once I’m alone with him, he crouches down right in front of me and places his hand on my ankle while the other one wraps around my foot.
“Frank, you really don’t have to do this for me.”
“I just want to see how bad it is. That way,
we can actually arrange the doctor for you since you’re already here.”
Though the two of us aren’t close, he keeps on insisting, so I let him check.
