Chapter Fourteen
THE LUCAS’S EMPIRE*
Camdan was seen standing in front of his office window, staring outside.
The large window in his office was made in such a way that, only the person from within the office could see what was going on out there.
But no one from the outside could see a thing from the office. It was convenient for him alone.
He was still lost in thought, when a knock was heard on his door.
He walked over to his chair and sat down. He adjusted his suit and tie before he answered.
” Come on in” He replied as he carried a file going through it.
Nicole walked in majestically, she was holding pile of files on both hands.
” Good afternoon sir, Mr morris is here to see you.” Nicole said.
She walked over to his desk and placed the files on it.
” And here are the files you asked me to bring.”
Camdan stared at her with a smile, as he used his hand to support his chin.
” Do you want to take a day off?” He asked and her eyes widened.
” No sir”
” Then why are you trying to $educe me?” He asked still smiling at her.
” Sir, it’s not like…”.
” I might fall for the temptation, you know?” He said with a light chuckle and continued.
” When did you start wearing mini skirts and when did you start showing your ¢Ieavage?”
Immediately he said that, she drew down her skirt and buttoned up. She felt really embarrassed as she bowed her head in guilt.
Camdan maintained a straight face as usual, he stared at her in disappointment. He never knew she could be so cheap.
She has been working for him close to three years now, and he liked her as a worker because she was so hardworking and nice.
” Don’t dress this way to my office again or else you will regret it. You don’t need to dress like a pro$titute in order to impress me. You are beautiful just the way you are.” He said in an unusual voice. It was soft and entirely different.
” You may leave now, invite Mr morris in.”
” Thank you sir.” She said in a trembling voice and walked out.
After a while, Mr morris entered and they both exchanged pleasantries before heading to the main point.

SUNSHINE CITY HOSPITAL*
Asha quickly payed the driver off and rushed into the hospital.
She got to the reception and approached the nurse in charge.
” I heard a child was rushed to this hospital, I need to see her pls.” Asha said rushing her words.
She was breathing heavily and beads of sweat has started forming on her forehead.
” Ok dear, you need to wait there, we are waiting for her mother.” The nurse said.
” Am her mother.” Asha replied and the nurse stared at her.
” Are you sure? You look like an high schooler and you are wearing a uniform, how are you her mother?” The nurse asked.
Asha banged on the table and the nurse flinched slightly.
” Are you interrogating me right now?” Asha asked. “Why don’t you just shut the fk up and take me to the room, where my daughter is being attended to!”
” Am sorry ma’am, please follow me.” The nurse said, she led the way and Asha followed suite.
They got to the room where Tara was being attended to. She was laid on the bed looking lifeless, her face has gotten paled and an oxygen mask was on her face, she was finding it hard to breath.
Asha rushed to her and started touching her all over, ignoring Vivian who was in the room. Seeing her daughter in that condition weakened her completely.
She touched her daughter’s face and a tear dropped, she quickly wiped it off remembering how Tara hates seeing her cry.
She sat on a chair beside Tara’s sick bed and held her tiny hand.
” Baby, mommy is here, please open your eyes.” She said but got no response.
” I promise to buy you everything you need…just…open… your…eyes…pl..ease.” she cried as she choked on her tears.
She covers her mouth with her palm, trying to suppress the sound of her sobbing. She cried bitterly and Vivian tapped her.
She turned to Vivian as she cleaned her face.
” Why are you on uniform Asha”. Vivian asked checking her out.
” Because am going to school, that isn’t the issue now, what did the doctor say about Tara’s health?” Asha replied as she packed her hair in a bun.
” We really need money Asha, Tara is going through right now and they need to start treatment on her, I haven’t even had my salary yet.”
” So, without the money, they won’t start treatment on her?” Asha asked and Vivian replied with a nod.
She was just four years older than Asha, that was the reason she said, Asha shouldn’t use honorifics when it comes to her.
Almost immediately a nurse entered inside. It wasn’t the first nurse but was another one and Asha was happy about that.
” Miss Asha, your attention is needed by the doctor.” The nurse said.
” Oh…ok.”
” Please follow me”. The nurse said as Asha followed behind.
They got to the doctor’s office and Asha placed a soft knock on the door, her breathing was rapid and she was scared.
” Come on in.” The doctor uttered lowly.
Asha went inside and the doctor gestured her to sit down.
He looked at her and sighed, he shook his head sideways and adjusted the spectacle that he wore.
He was a man with with brown complexion, that seems to be in his early forties.
” Miss Asha, are you sure you are the mother of that child?” He asked and Asha frowned at him.
” Yes sir, I am” she answered.
” How old are you?”
” Am 20 years old and am in highschool, just trying to get a stupid certificate, so my life can change for the better. I don’t have a dad and as for my mom, she abandoned me and took my sister away with her.” Asha said staring at the floor.
” That’s sad but I didn’t say you…”
” I would have love to tell you about my child’s father but I can’t, it’s just so embarrassing…my life is pathetic right?” She asked cutting him off and added.
” Now, that you know everything about my pathetic life, can you please, stop asking me questions and tell me what’s wrong with my daughter.
Immediately she said that, the doctor knew he had crossed his boundary. He cleared his throat and flipped through a page of a file.
” Your daughter is suffering from Bronchiolitis and you are needed to bring 10,000$ before we start the treatment.” He said and she gasped.
” Where would I get such money from?” She muttered as she bit her lower lips very hard.
She had pleaded with her boss, to hand her salary to her and he did even though the month is yet to be over.
And she has quit her second job, now she regrets it a lot. She has no one to borrow money from…. except from one person.
” Please, just start the treatment on her, I promise you, I will bring the money.” She said as she held the doctor’s hand.
” I will try my best but, you need to bring the money as soon as possible, you know it’s not my hospital and am just a worker here. I also have a family.” He replied and she thanked him before leaving his office.
