He and she

When they entered the car, Winona remaind silent. Turns out this man had a vehicle. Yet, he made her walk all the way by foot.

Enoch either, didn't say a word or tried to explain himself..

When they arrived at the Hutton City Hospital, both Winona and Enoch rushed to the emergency department.

" Dr Winston, this one is for you.we have found the perfect match for the patient, yet her body is too week for surgery and we are running out of time", the lead Doctor, Dr Lawson outlined to Winona.

As she chimmed in, " is Dr Lawson recommending that I use herb procedure before the main surgery?".

" Exactly"

Winona moved closer to have a clear scrutiny of the patients pulse rate, however, " Mrs Hutton!", She exclaimed.

" You... You know her?", Mr Lawson asked, anxiety plastered all over his face.

" Yh, I do. She's -"

Before Winona could finish her sentence, the former had pushed Enoch out of the ward then returned to her side.

" How do you know?"

" She is my future mother in-law, we have a marriage alliance".

" Okay, I don't care about your relationship but this has to be confidential. Don't let it slip, not even to your fiance. Understood?".

" But... I mean I won't tell anyone".

After pacing about, Winona added, " if it is herbal sinosis, then we have to transfer her to Oregon. My grandfather is the master of herbs, he can cure her in a short period of time".

Dr Lawson didn't know if he revealed to Winona about her grandfather's current situation or let so be it as it was a family matter.

" Her condition is critical, hence, not safe for travel. Why can't you go back to Oregon and see what you can find as soon as possible. You do know that its a promising offer.

I will talk to the principal on your behalf"

At the last sentence, Winona wanted to bust out into laughter but held back. Even the most respected Mr Lawson, knew the principal title.

Winona was about to descend the ward when Dr Lawson called her in a low voice, " remember, don't tell anyone".

" Okay"

He stared at Winona's back as she exited the room, if the Winston could have a marriage alliance with the prestigious Hutton family, this meant that Winston had also risen to the top heights in Oregon.

So he had to take good care of this young lady, who knows what the future might hold.

When Winona left the ward, Enoch was no longer on site, hence, she went to attend on other patients.

Sometimes they would be given off days especially on weekends. Yet, when there's an emergency like what had happened today, everyone is forced to go on work mode as per summoned.

....

At this moment, in the bustling city of orange county. Two people seeming like a couple entered through shopping malls one after another with a body guard trailing in behind them.

" Honey, I think we've bought enough. Do you want me to be changing outfits each and everyday?", Katherine asked.

" Off course, isn't this what boyfriend's do? Spending on their girlfriend".

" But..."

"But what?"

" I am just your girlfriend in name and she is your fiancee. Even the old man will not acknowledge me", Katherine outlined trying to sound pitiful and cute at the same time.

" Come here", Kenneth commanded as he embraced the woman then whispered into her ear, " I think you are saying the opposite of the stated. Besides I have only held her hands, and you... You have had the taste of it all-"

"You! Stop it. We her in public yet you are acting-"

Before Katherine could finish her sentence, the man had already scoped her atop of his shoulders, then tossed her inside the car.

If it weren't Katherine's resistance due to the fact that they are on public space, this man would have done it right there despite the presence of people.

Hence, suggesting they went to her new apartment.

...

"So, how was your date? Did you ask her out? Did she say yes?", Noah interrogated his eyes a'aim at the man sitting on the desk reviewing files.

" It wasn't a date and its none of your business", Enoch replied, disdain written all over his face.

" Enoch, it obvious to everyone that you have a thing for her. Besides, you are already 27 years old. What are you waiting for?

She is a pretty one you know? And by the way you look at her, she is definitely your type.

Keep delaying, who knows which guy might ask her out soon. Oh, maybe it might even be me", after saying so, Noah smiled mischievously a'aim at Enoch then left.

As the door slummed shut, Enoch stopped his current work, clenching fists at Noah's last synopsis.

He also didn't know how it started and it would be a total lie to deny that he has developed feelings for Winona.

And what about her? She rarely calls him by name, rather than by title or proffession. In her eyes he is just one of her closest colleagues.

On the contrary, she had only been transferred to the Hutton City Hospital about a month ago. Hence, asking her out would be a bold , however stoic movement.

Rather than rush into action, why not let her see his feelings for her by herself.

" Hey, what are you thinking about?", Winona asked as she stood in front of the Enoch.

He had been occupied with his thoughts and hadn't noticed when she came in. He stared at the woman who was wearing a lab coat like himself.

" Hmm, do you need something from me", Enoch asked his voice serious.

" Ah, just forget about. Anyways, cia adios. By the way, thank you for today. I really had fun", after saying that, she left without looking back.

Forget about it, what was that supposed to mean. Enoch pushed all the distractive thoughts away as he went back to work mode.

...

When Winona arrived at her apartment, she seemed to have recognized two familiar figures.

Yet, she pushed those thoughts away. He was probably on a business trip that's why it must've been tough reaching out to her and as for the other, she had gone back to her grandparents.
