He removed her hands from around him and went to sit down on the guest couch and patted the space next to him. “I’m sorry, I’ve been really busy, you must have heard of Doctor Ifeanyi’s lawsuit?”
“Yeah, I did” she said as she sat down and crossed her legs, “He should have been more careful.”
Fiyin raised one eyebrow at her, “Really? He’s a doctor, he made a mistake under pressure, an unavoidable mistake, he’s deeply shaken and sorry. Damage was done, yes but nobody died and the damage can be repaired. We can pay for that, we are trying to convince the family to settle out of court, Imagine what this would do to him”
“I know you want to take his side as the MD but as a Foreign Trained Medical Doctor, don’t you agree that Nigerian trained doctors are a little too careless because there are no repercussions?”
“I agree but from the inception, Saint Havers has always trained her doctors to be much more careful than the average Nigerian Doctor. Doctors aren’t infallible though, they are human. Mores the pity.”
“Yes, Nigerian doctors are, especially that UNN trained guy from Nsukka. If I were you, I would only employ foreign trained doctors and you can afford it, anyway” She stated emphatically.
“Okay” He said, unwilling to discuss the confusion her lack of sympathy was causing inside him.
Not wanting him to see her as cold blooded, she grabbed his hands and laid it against her breast “Look, I understand what you’re going through, you can talk to me about anything, alright?”
“Sure.” He didn’t think so but he didn’t tell her that as he took his hands off her bre@st.
“So, what are you doing tonight? I have these……….” She droned on but he wasn’t listening anymore. Femi was in big trouble on Saturday. He had a lot of things to say to her when she got back.
“Fiyin!” Tiwa’s voice pierced his eardrums.
“Yes?” He asked, shocked out of his reverie.
“You weren’t listening to me.” She grumbled, pissed off.
“Sorry, I’m tired, I need to sleep, okay. We will talk later.”
“Alright.” Tiwa said as she kissed his cheeks,
“see you later.” and walked out. If she wasn’t mistaken, Fiyin was starting to lose interest in her. Well, he had better find the interest again because she wasn’t going anywhere. And neither was he.
