Chapter 20 - I Need A Job

Carie dressed up so well, she was putting on a versace fitted gown and a chanel bag. " Thank goodness grandpa agreed for me to go ahead and send my application to Xander's hospital since it is also renowned, it's the second biggest after the one owned by our family doctor ". She went ahead and decided to inform her brother before going to the hospital, she picked up her phone and called Jason and he answered the call almost immediately like he was expecting her to call him ". Big bro how are you doing today, and I miss you even though we met just yesterday ", Jason had already been informed about what she wants to do and she was saying all this to coerce him to give her permission, " Carie I'm fine, why did you call ", " Uhm brother I... uhm, I wanted to tell you that I would be applying for a job at liberty hospital " Carie said stuttering. " Carie that's Xander's hospital and you know l don't like that man, you and just go to the family's doctor, I mean doctor Harry to help you secure a job at his hospital, its the best and I know you are aware of that, you can work there until yours is finished " Jason said in one go, " my goodness brother,  that's the longest sentence I've heard from you since I came back, please tell me who is the cause of this change, I'm curious ", " You wouldn't want to know the cause or the person behind my frustration lately making me speak a lot and please let's not talk about her and continue our previous discussion ".  " Her?... wait, you mean you have a woman in your life and you didn't inform your only sister, I can't wait to meet her " Carie said enthusiastically, " Carie you need to stop and I don't have a woman in my life " sensing her brother wasn't liking their conversation she said " Ok brother but please I need to work at Xander's hospital so I will continue my experiments on creating the antidote for grandpa's heart disease  it's worsening and uncle Harry would just spoil me while I work there and would treat me unequally. I also don't understand why you don't like Xander but once you get to know him you will like him, he is a good person and also remember that this is my first request to you after three years  ". " This is emotional blackmail Carie,  you can work there but if he treats you badly I will burn down that hospital and I think you should inform your fiancee and please give him a chance to explain himself  ", " Uhm brother Xander wouldn't do anything to me,  thank you very much, bye ".

She was happy her brother agreed, she entered her car and drove off to the hospital,  " I wouldn't inform Lim, he should not expect that I would tell him everything that concerns my life after all his has done, brother is saying this because he doesn't know what happened and even if he knows it's because Lim is his best friend but I'm his only sister, he should be supporting me not the other way around " she thought as she was driving . " But if he hears it from someone else he would would get really angry and he can do bizarre things when angry,  I wonder why he hate Xander just like brother and even Dave,  I hope he doesn't do something bad to Xander " she mused as she entered the hospital building, she has been here before she travelled so she knew her way around, she went to Xander's office, when she introduced herself to his receptionist as his friend and the receptionist let her in, she was entered his office and smiled as she saw him making a phone call. " Carie, you are here, to whom do I owe this pleasant visit,  sorry for my manners come in " , Carie stepped into the furnished office and she thought " I love Lim's taste even better ", when she noticed her mind was drifting to Lim again she brushed it off her mind. 

" Have a seat and don't act so formal with me , what brings you here today " She sat on the chair before him " Xander how are you, well I came here with my application letter but I already submitted it,  you see I wanna follow due process. After they talked Carie was about to go home but Xander asked her out for coffee. They went to a nearby coffee shop and were chatting happily when someone arrived,  he walked in, looked around and when he got a glimpse of them anger gushed in him, he stode to their table and dragged her out into a car and drove off. 

Before Now 

Lim was in his office working when he received a call from his men keeping guard on his fiancee and they told him everything and their current whereabout. He stood up and left his office furiously, " It seems I would have to teach this woman a lesson for always daring me, I would take Jason's advice an stop being a slow *ss I will tell her the truth but if she put up a fuss I don't mind using force and I also don't mind being a villain for her to hear me out.
