“To take care of you, why else would I be here?” he replied as he took a few steps towards me.

Suddenly, the air in the room felt much colder than before and I realized that I was still sitting on the examination bed. I gulped as my sudden realization made me feel more vulnerable than before. Adrian smiled warmly at me as he continued to come closer. The fact that he was wearing his white doctor gown made him feel very much like a doctor. My shook my head at my nonsensical thought. He didn’t just look like a doctor, he is in fact a doctor.

“Umm…where is Brandon?” I asked in a small voice.

“Your fiancé? Something turned up and he had to leave. Of course, I volunteered to take care of you,” he replied smoothly.

His smile sent another chill down my spine and so did the fact that he just called Brandon my fiancé. Although he had a smile on his face, I could tell that he wasn’t at all pleased.
