Dirty Affairs

CHAPTER 25 Indeed

At the hospital, Cynthia woke up with the baggage of yesterday's event which never stopped troubling her heart as she sat next to Sophia who was still asleep, holding Sophia's arm and trying to talk to her as if Sophia could hear her stuttered words.

Cynthia's words broke up and all she could say were stuttering words. Hot tears streamed down her face as her already wet eyelids shut in the hope her tears would stop but it never helped as she continued to sit unmoving. Suddenly, she finally let those words out. Still holding Sophia's arm, Cynthia spoke bitterly.

"Sister… by this time yesterday when…, when you came to my house smiling… with the good news and joy of getting a new job, sister, you… you were once bright and bubbly. Your smile brightened up my sad heart…." Said Cynthia. Her tears poured continuously. Only if tears would help Sophia get better, Cynthia's tears were enough. Even though she was desperate for Sophia to help her carry out her evil plot against her boss Mr. Ace and not minding if Ace would find out and harm Sophia at the end, she still never wished her friend to be in this current health and helpless situation.

As Cynthia continued to talk to Sophia, she suddenly heard a ding dong sound which sounded twice. Cynthia observed for sometime to know where the sound came from. She looked and found Sophia's phone on the cupboard and decided to check what the notification sound was all about. She took the phone and the moment she looked on the phone screen, she saw that Sophia had gotten a notification from her email which popped on top of the phone screen as she decided to click on it to see and know if it was important but when she opened the email, she saw that the message started that Sophia should subscribe on a particular channel so as to enable her watch newly acted movies.

"Mtchew!" Cynthia sighed. The email wasn't important as she thought. The moment she wanted to drop the phone back on the cupboard, Cynthia saw something that caught her attention. She saw

that a message from Michelle's Cosmetics was sent to Sophia's email 3 hours ago.

"FROM MICHELLE'S COSMETICS LIMITED. Dear Sophia…" This was what Cynthia saw but because she was curious to know what the email was all about, she clicked on the message and it opened which she read through.

"FROM MICHELLE'S COSMETICS LIMITED. Dear Miss Sophia, this is CEO Michelle from Michelle's Cosmetics Limited where you were offered a job opportunity. I'm writing to let you know that I will also love you to work as my loyal and trusted personal assistant. I saw and I liked you so, it will be a great honor to have you work with me soon as my P.A. As for the payment, we will talk about it on Monday when you come. Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day ahead!" All this was what was written on the message. The part which stated "I saw and like you so, it would be a great honor to have you work with me." Struck Cynthia's weak heart. Realizing that her friend, Sophia was too good and kind hearted to have experienced the trauma she had gotten earlier made Cynthia tear up the most as she placed the phone back on the cupboard before she finally walked back towards her seated position.

Shortly, the moment she sat, she heard a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Cynthia immediately wiped her face with her palm, making sure her face wasn't in a mess by the help of a small fancy mirror hung on the wall.

"The door is not locked." Cynthia responded to the knock and shortly, the door was pushed open as she saw a nurse walk in with two plates of food inside a tray and it also happened that Sophia woke up by the sound of Cynthia's voice after she told the nurse the door wasn't locked.

"Good morning Miss Cynthia." The nurse greeted Cynthia as she flashed a nice smile. Even though she saw Cynthia's face and realized she had been crying. She saw how Cynthia's face was looking moody so she decided not to say anything about it to avoid making matters worse. Minding her business was the best and better option.

Cynthia might Burst into tears if the nurse comforts her. The nurse thought. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Breakfast is served." Said the nurse as she dropped the tray of food on top of a little table in front of Cynthia.

"I am Nurse Stephanie and I'm assigned to work as Miss Sophia's assistant. I will be incharge of making sure she is being taken care of." Said the nurse.

"Nice meeting you" said Cynthia.

"You are welcome ma'am. Since your friend is awake. How about I help her freshen up before I feed her breakfast?" The nurse asked.

"There will be no need for that. I will do it myself…. Thanks for the meal. If I need help, I will surely inform you." Said Cynthia as the nurse nodded before she finally walked towards Sophia to pull off the strings from her because the drip was already finished. Once she was done, she walked out but the moment the nurse left, Cynthia heard another knock in which she told the person to come in.

The person came in and Cynthia saw that it was Stephanie who had knocked for the second time.

"I was asked to give you this." Said Stephanie as Cynthia stood from her seated position and walked towards Stephanie to know what it was.

"Everything you and your friend will be needing is inside this bag." Said the nurse as she handed a big bag over to Cynthia which Cynthia collected but never stopped wondering why the hospital was being so kind to them.

"Thank you." Cynthia appreciated.

"You are welcome ma'am. I will be coming after a few hours to take you both to one of the Presidential hospital rooms. Please, be ready before then ma'am. Thanks." Said Stephanie.

Cynthia was surprised.

"Presidential hospital room? That's expensive!" Cynthia asked curiously as the thought of how she would pay for the room struck her heart badly and Stephanie who saw how Cynthia was surprised smiled.

Even though Cynthia knew she was a bit rich, she was so sure she would never be able to pay for that room because of how expensive it was. Those kinds of rooms were meant for Governors and presidents.

"But there would be no need. We like it here." She said, trying to pretend she was comfortable in that little hospital room.

"We got an order to put you both in that room and as for the bill, it has been paid." Stephanie never stopped smiling at Cynthia.

"By who?" Cynthia asked.

"I don't know ma'am." Stephanie replied.

"Then how did you know the bill has been paid?" Cynthia asked.

"Because no patient uses the presidential hospital room without making payment first."

"I see… Ok thank you." Cynthia appreciated as Stephanie walked out of the room.

So many thoughts ran through Cynthia's head as she walked back to her seated position but what could she do when everyone in the hospital had refused to tell her anything!
