Chapter 10
There are just about three days and there is no way she can get that huge amount of money. She bade her father bye and left to go meet Nisan and explain the situation to him when she receive a call from the hospital. She rush there thinking it was because of her mother but getting there, she saw that it was Vanessa. She got into an accident while trying to give fliers to people on the road. Luckily it was a minor injury. After checking up on her to see that she was okay she went to meet the doctor to check about her mother’s condition.
“i told you that has the day goes by the rate of success for her surgery will also reduce gradually but I haven’t heard anything from you since you bought her here. When are you going to bring the money so we can start and also you need to pay for her hospital bed and other things the bills are seriously piling up” the doctor said annoyed with her.
“am very sorry, I will get the money very soon” she said more like trying to convince herself. She walk away from the doctor and sat down then she unconsciously dial the number Alan’s secretary gave her. She place the phone on her ear and wait for her to pick. She remember how she went back to ask the cafe owner if he saw any business card on one of the tables and how he handed it over to her. She heard a beep and realized that the call has been picked.
“hello” she heard her say, Vienna cleared her throat before responding
“hello, this is Vienna Miner. Am calling you about the offer you made the other day, is it still valid?” she asked with a mixed mind.
“yes, Do you agree”
“i agree with whatever it is but first, can I get the money needed for my mum’s surgery and for my sister p>
“sure you can. I will take care of that immediately” Kellie replied and cut the call.
“sir, miss Vienna just called, She agrees and want the money for her mother and sister right away” she told Alan who was sitting with his back facing her.
“just as I thought, no one can refuse that kind of offer” Alan said and smiled briefly. Kellie bow her head slightly before exiting from the room. Immediately she left, Alan pick his phone to call someone.
“you are sure I will be able to make this work in three months time right?” he asked to confirm again and the voice from the other end reassured him. Alan drop the call with a smile.
“He needs just three months” he thought with a smirk.
After few minutes, Vienna received an alert on her phone. She was surprised by how fast it is, She quickly went to the hospital cashier office and paid for her mother’s surgery including all her bills with Vanessa’s. then she head to the doctor’s office to discuss more, her mother’s surgery was schedule for the next day. Then she went back home with Vanessa.
“where did you get the money to take care of my hospital bills? Did you take money from the little we were able to gather?” Vanessa asked with guilty.
“no, you don’t need to worry about it. And also I will take care of your school bills very soon so you better start reading for your final exams and also quit every part time job you have and just concentrate on your studies” she replied instead and rest her head on the arm of the chair.
“what are saying? Where did you get money from?” she asked.
“let me guess, Alan?” she asked again and when she still receive a silent answer she knew that she guess right.
“you really collect money from him? But p>
“trust me on this okay, I know what am doing. And beside its not marriage with him just to pretend to want to marry him for a short period of three months”
