Chapter 55 - She Felt Ready

Ethan was flabbergasted, he couldn't believe his assistant is trying to sleep with him, he wondered if he had ridicule himself with her so much that she could summon such courage. Fortunately for Hannah; Ethan didn't think of the possibility that she put something in the coffee he received.

He has gone through a lot of things like this in the past; which made him never leave a chance for women in his heart, as most just sees him as a ladder they could climb to wealth. He's not a tool but a human.

"I'm so sorry, I….I." Hannah began shivering and couldn't find her voice. She knew now how stupid she was. She acted rashly, she could have at least planned it well.

Ethan sighed, "what's wrong with you?" He asked, releasing her hand and buttoned up his shirt. Seeing her not replying but still shivering at the spot. "What put you up to this?" He asked again. They've been working together for a while now, and although he's aware of her feelings for him, he knew she's not the type of girl to attempt this type of nonsense without a reason.

He wondered if he has been to harsh with her since the day she made their lips met at the hospital; to make her lose her morality like this.

"I'm so sorry sir, I'm so sorry, I'm….." Hannah kept muttering, as her tears fell uncontrollably while her body kept shivering.

Ethan felt pissed once more, his mind drifted to Diana, and yes; this assistant of his always carried her well and was brave, but now she looked broken like this? He had no idea what had happened to her and wondered if he caused it with the rules he outlined to her.

"I'm sorry about earlier." He said, which made Hannah look up at him in awe. She was expecting him to fire her on the spot, or probably got handed to the police.

"I don't know what came over you, but don't ever let it repeat itself. If it does; then I will do more than just firing you, do you understand?" He asked.

"Yes…. yes sir." Hannah hurried out, not believing her luck, she managed to escaped without a scratch.

Ethan scoffed, 'yes! That's how women treat him, but the one who is different still didn't get to be with him.' the thought popped up in his head.

...

Diana had no idea how she got back to the base, but when she opened her eyes, three days have passed, she was shocked to find herself in her private room, receiving fluid and a strange woman beside her.

"What happened?" She asked the woman, who looked ice cold, but the white lab jacket she's putting on made it obvious she's some kind of medical expert, presumably the person looking after her.

She was told that no one is entitled to come inside her room, not even her room mate had the right to invade her privacy in this personal room, so it's clearly obvious she was sick and was getting treatment from this woman.

But she felt good, she didn't feel weak at all. Even her bones that seem to have cracked from the training seems fine. She had no idea she has been in bed since 3 days ago.

Without paying her any attention, the woman started packing her belongings in the room and started disconnecting the needles and everything attached to her.

Diana eyes followed her movement with her brow creased, if she's gonna ignore her then fine! Who cares, she didn't care anyway.

Aroma opened the door, beside her was a young woman, probably about the same age as her. She had a tape measurement around her neck, with a book and a pen in her hand.

"Get up." Aroma said to her, more in a command tone.

'Wait! didn't I just woke up from being sick? why aren't they all treating her like a patient?' she thought and wanted to sluggishly pull herself up, but felt light. She felt so good that made her want to stand up and groove. A chuckle escaped her lips at the thought.

The woman in a lab coat bowed her head to Aroma briefly and headed out of the room. Diana stood up feeling energetic and smiling at Aroma who didn't spare her glances at all.

She pouted her lips and sneered at her coldness, she felt like Aroma is really mean, she's proving to her that she meant what she said about not kidding with her after the day of her arrival.

The girl walked closer to her and motioned for her to stay still, which she did and watched as her measurement was taken before the girl went out of the room, leaving her and Aroma alone.

Immediately they were alone, "why are you so cold to me? we haven't started training right?" Diana asked, walking closer to her and tickling her Aroma arm with her index finger.

Aroma facade broke, she flicked her finger on her forehead, "don't act cute when you're not." She said, "your training starts today." she added, holding the urge to laugh.

Diana's heart skipped, "what!" She exclaimed, "I'm still a patient." She added, pouting her lips that was naturally pouty in the first place, all thanks to her incisors.

"You weren't sick, boss sedated you and brought you home. You've been under proper care since three days ago, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you." Aroma said as a matter of fact.

Diana was tongue tied, 'three days?' her head screamed. "Where is he? I should say my thanks." She finally spoke.

"He left for Italy yesterday, he asked me to stay and focus on your training." Aroma said nonchalantly, "get dressed and join the others in the cafeteria to eat and come find me in the field, I have something for you." Aroma said and left.

Diana felt grateful toward Nathan, but quickly shook her mind off it, she knew what's next for now is to meet up with his expectations and not disappoint, she feels like she's ready.

BUT IS SHE?
