C3 All About Scott...

It's been three weeks Myra has worked at Smith Enterprise and CO. As usual, working as a secretary was the best thing she'd ever thought of. Especially, when it has to be in one of the richest company in the state.

"Myra," Mr Smith called.

"Yes, Sir."

"Inform Tony to get the car ready in the next thirty minutes. I've got somewhere to go. "

" Yes, Sir. " She hurriedly walked out if the office heading downstairs. Tony was actually Mr Smith's personal driver.

What might be the problem?... She asked herself as she left to where Tony was.

"Tony," she called him from a distance she was sure he could hear. "Tony."

"Hey, Miss Parker. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Please just call me Myra. " She was breathing heavily as she spoke.

" Jeez. What's the problem? " He asked her.

"The boss needs the car ready in the next thirty minutes."

"Oh okay." He said standing to leave.

"Tony." She called stopping him in his track. " Is there a problem? Something I should know? "

" Not exactly, Myra. "

" You're hiding something. You're not saying the truth. Tell me, what's wrong with the boss? "

He sighed softly. He didn't want to talk about it but, Myra was an inquisitive type who wouldn't look over stuffs.

"Mr Smith's son is in the hospital. He was admitted three days ago. I don't know what he's suffering from but ... I think that part is personal for the boss. "

She nodded dully.

" Are you sure you're okay? " He asked.

" Yeah. Sure. I'm fine. " She replied." Guess I just have to go back to work." She left..

"Mr Smith's son was admitted? Why? Why didn't he tell me? Why am I not aware of this? I ... I ... No! "

She was sad at the same time angry with someone... With her boss...

She felt like being quiet. Not to talk to anyone not even her boss. Her behavior was suspicious, he seemed not to have noticed it earlier until he was about leaving then did she opened her anger.

He was surprised at first, likewise her. She didn't believe she could reply so harsh to him. Immediately she got back to her sense, she had to apologise.

"I ... I'm s... so sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to say that. I'm ready for whatever punishment you've got for me. " She said, already on her knees.

" Do you have an explanation for your actions? " Was all he asked.

" I... I... I was only... curious about boss's son. I know... I shouldn't mind into your business but.. I felt like the boss had to let me know." She sniffed," I heard about your son. I took you as my father. I took you as my only family and my world. Don't you think it's worth for me to know about you? I... know I can't do anything about it but at least, as a family, I should know." Then tears had already started dripping down her face. "I'm sorry. I really am. I have no business with this. Punish me! "

He held her even before she could fall to the ground. "Myra!" She rose her face at him. "Myra, you don't have to feel guilty for bumping into my business. You're right, your worth knowing about me ... my life. I saw and thought about this that's why I decided to keep it away from you. I didn't want to cause you any emotional distress."

She shook her head," you just caused me that now. I know how it feels to watch the one you love in such situation, and I get it. But... "

He hugged her long and tight." I'm sorry, Myra. I know I should have told you before."

"What's wrong with him?" She asked.

" Cancer. He's suffering from cancer. But I haven't been told on the level it has gotten to. "

She fell on his shoulder sobbing more harder.

" Myra. "

"I... Don't know what to say, Sir. I'm so sorry."

"You don't have to say anything. It's nothing you should bother about. "

" I should. " She sniffed again." You know, it's gonna be alright. I know that. "

He nodded affirmatively." Thanks dear. "

" You should get going. I'll cope with my job. Take care of yourself okay? "

He gave the reply with a warm hug.

He left...

She didn't stop wiping. She was more concerned than anyone could be. More concerned like she was somehow connected with him even though she haven't gotten the chance to know him.

The truth is,,, she's got this emotional heart for the people she loves.

* * * *

The next day, Myra went to the very hospital Mr Smith's son was admitted to. She gazed at the building, she didn't have to guess it was a rich man's hospital.

"Hello, Miss. Can I help you?" A young plumpy lady asked, bringing back her sense to reality.

" Hey. Hi." She moved toward the lady who was actually the receptionist. " I'm Myra Parker. I'm here for a patient."

"What's the patient's name? " Asked the receptionist.

" I... really don't know his name but, he's the son of Mr Ivan Smith. "

" Okay! " She exclaimed trying not to raise her voice." It's at room 104. At the third floor just at the right."

She nodded." Thanks. "

" Your welcome. "

She slowly, gently opening the door not to cause a noise. Her eyes caught at the figure laid on the bed. She had to spend two minutes of her time to stare at him letting the one single tear fall.

She moved more closer to the bed, holding his hand she sat beside him.

"Hi. I wish you can hear me. I'm Myra Parker, your father's secretary. I heard what happened but... I just... wish you were okay. You know, your father doesn't deserve this, you don't either. He's been through a lot yet, he's never stop to see that you're at the best health. I know I didn't get to know you better when you were healthy, I still don't regret either. I pray you get well soon, okay? " She rubbed her hands against his. " Get well soon."

She spent an hour that she almost forgot she was to go to work. About to stand when the door opened. She turned to look at the incomer just to see... Her boss.

Mr Smith...

He was surprised at first,he thought she'd be at the hospital. She was alot smarter than he thought. So smart to know about the hospital.

"Good morning, Sir." She greeted.

"How are you doing?"

"Much better. Thanks. I um... I came to check on him."

Mr Smith smiled...

" I'll be going. See you at the company. "

She left.

He was handsome, so handsome to be in this state. He doesn't deserve it just as she thought. One look at him and she felt something strange... Maybe not that strange to be called a feeling.

What feeling???...

🎶〰️That Weekend 〰️🎶

She felt more excited than anyone. More happier than anyone could ever be.

Why???

Mr Ivan Smith had already invited her for a visit to the hospital. Not just that, Scott has been discharged from hospital.

She couldn't hold back from her happiness, that she had to buy a flower for him.

Now at the hospital, she kept running like she was in for an appointment. When she stopped at the door, she held the door knob breathing a thousand times before proceeding inside.

WTF!!

Staring into the eyes of the once asleep figure. Those green eyes were a spell at first sight. She was a sudden prisoner to it.

Mr Smith watched as the two stared at each other for long. All he did was to smile. Maybe a few moment of silence was the best for them.

Actually, it took longer than just a few moment. "Um..." He said with a cough breaking the long silence. "Scott meet Myra. Myra meet my son Scott."

She stretched out for a handshake." It's really nice to meet you. "

"It's nice meeting you too." He said returning the handshake.

" I'd love to know more about you, Miss Parker."

"Well, it'd be my pleasure. "

" Guys, "Mr Smith cuts in," why don't we have this discussion somewhere much better. How about Marquis restaurant? "

Scott looked at Myra," how do you see it? "

She chuckled in between the smile," I say it's perfect. "

" Then, "Mr Smith added," let's get the hell outta here. "

They've been having this dinner and a nice conversation, one could say they were into a family reunion. This was a moment Myra has ever wished for. A moment she'd spend her life with the people she loves.

On the other side, someone was watching. Someone who has nothing to do with the family reunion. When he held the phone on his ear.

"Hello, Sir. We've got Miss Parker on watch."

"Tell me how is everything going out there? "

" As I can see, she's having a family reunion. What should I do? "

" Let her be with the reunion. Guess that'll be the last with them. "
