Treachery Affair

Richmond Hill

My mom’s surgery was successful, and I’m the happiest person on earth. Although the doctor said that she still needs to be under check for the next one week before we can finally go back home. It’s a good thing to have her back, and I know Nelson will be more than happy to see her too.

She has been asking of Harley since she woke up, and I have been telling her all sort of lies and at times I avoid her questions. I already told her that they’re going to see each other when we get back, but I don’t know how I’m going to explain to her. I don’t know how I’m going to tell her that a lot of things happened these past months that she has been in coma. She was happy when we found out that I finally found love after the departure of Emily, but she will be broken now to know that Harley is with another man and already have a child with him. That’s the shock that’ll be hard to get over.

After staying at the hospital for almost all day, I finally step out to get fresh air and have a tour around the city. I have been here for the past five days and I haven’t been able to see what Seoul looks like. It’ll be boring if I go back to my hometown without knowing what this place looks like.

The buildings here are the best. It’s just like another planet on its own. I’m not trying to say that my hometown is not beautiful, but it’ll be stupid of me to compare it to Korea. Maybe I’ll come here some other time for vacation. I’ll try to bring Nelson with me when coming. I know he’ll love it here.

Sitting on the settee at the bus stop, I stare into space and smile excitedly as the fresh air blows gently on my face. It’s evening, but everywhere looks like it’s still afternoon. The streetlight adds beauty to the road. I’ve only seen this view on movies, but here I am having the feel of it. I wish Nelson is here. He would’ve been smiling so happily. I miss him so much.

“Hi! May I sit here with you?” A familiar voice speaks from behind me, and I tilt my head to see her. She is the same lady I saw at the mall that day that I went to get chocolate for Nelson at the mall. What’s she doing here?

“You?” I ask to be sure that my eyes are not deceiving me.

“We meet again…” She smile at me, sitting beside me.

“Wow!” I mutter to myself, having an awkward feeling. It can’t be that she’s stalking me, right? How’s that even possible? I don’t even know her from Adam, so why on earth would she be stalking me?

“You don’t have to pull that look. I don’t mean no harm,” as if she read my thoughts, she disrupts my thoughts, and I turn my face away in embarrassment.

“My bad. My name is Kim Yeo So,” she says to me with a warm smile dancing on her lips and revealing her set of white teeth. Now that I look at her clearly, although it’s in the evening, I still manage to see her face clearly. She has a iris brown eyes, her eyelashes are lonh and thick, her skin is smooth and glows even in the slight darkness. Her thick black hair is cascading down her shoulders and curls at her back. Her nose is pointed and her lips are cute too. She’s extremely beautiful.

“Richmond Hill…” I reply to her, and she smiles at me again.

“Permit to ask, why are you here?” She asks.

“I came to get fresh air,” I reply to her, and she nods her head.

“Mind hanging out with me this weekend? We can get to know each other, and maybe I can show you around, or what do you think?” She says, and I glance at her.

“Sure…” I reply to her.

“Thank you. Here is my card. You can give me a call later so I can have your number. The address of my office is also there, you can come check up on me at your convenient time. Thanks for your time and it’s nice having you around,” she hands me her card, and I almost freeze on the spot, but I manage to compose myself anyway.

“Alright…” I manage to reply her.

“Good night,” she finally walks away while I stare at her. I watch as she walks over to the car parked at the roadside and hops in before driving away…

Harley Quinn

I’ve tried finding means of helping Alex out, but it seems like there’s no way out. I have tried talking to the doctor to help me do everything he can to correct the situation, but he said that nothing can be done. I’m happy that he’s responding to treatment already and according to the doctor, he will be awake in less than one month, but Jayden’s health is still under control and he’s yet to know when he will wake up. Although I’m sad, but I still have hope that he will be fine.

Richmond called me yesterday that the surgery was successful and his mom is recovering fast. I’m happy for him and wish the woman a quick recovery. She’s too nice to have suffered like that.

I’ve been in the office for close to nine hours, and I need to head to the hospital already to spend some time with Jay before I finally go home.

The knock on the door pulls my attention and I presume it’s my secretary. I called her earlier to show up in my office.

“Come in…” I say aloud, and the door opens. She walks inside with a file in her hand.

“Here’s the file from Mr Jones,” she drops the file on the desk, and I pick it up. I open it and starts flipping it page by page.

“Good. Please forward my schedule for the week to my email later. Cancel my appointment with Leo’s enterprise, and reschedule it till next week Thursday. I have something to attend to this week,” I drop the file and stands up to my feet.

“Alright, ma’am,” she replies to me.

“Please help me pack up the documents and separate the ones of last month from this month. Keep them in different places, I need to work on them when I get back to the office tomorrow or within the week. I need to go now,” I ambles out of the office afterward.

I drive straight to the hospital as soon as I leave the office. Stepping into the building, I ambles down the lobby and straight to the emergency room. Stepping into the room, I freeze on the spot at the sight that welcomes me. There is Jayden lying on the bed with his eyes open. Holy molly! What’s going on?…
