Chapter 23 - The Bestfriend

Three days past since her encounter with Jacob. J tried as much as possible to avoid him. Fortunately, he didn't have any surgery these past three days.

But today she was wretched. She was waiting for the elevator when the door of the elevator opens, she saw a couple of nurses in front. Behind them is a tall figure looking at her. She hesitated at first to come inside but then the nurses called her in.

While entering she throws Jacob a warning look as if telling him not to do any crazy act in front of these nurses. She was quiet throughout until she heard the lift 'ding' on the fifth floor. All the nurses step out and said goodbye to Nurse J.

Great! Now it was just her, Jacob and James left in the elevator. She can clearly see the reflection of Jacob in the elevator door. He is staring at her intently so she quickly glanced away.

"Jenny." her heart skipped a beat when he heard him call her name. Ah! Can't he call her that way! The way he is calling her name brings her an ambivalent feeling. "Have you decided yet?" Jacob continued.

"W..what?" J looked at his reflection with a confused reaction. "Where to stay? Your apartment? My villa or my parents' mansion?" Jacob asked her still looking at J's reflection seriously.

J was dumbstruck. What? He is seriously considering us living together? She thought to herself. She stared at his reflection for a couple of minutes when suddenly her phone rings.

She looked at the caller id, it's Nurse Diana. She immediately answered her call to avoid Jacob's question.

"Hello," she said.

"J! It's Timothy's birthday today. Can you come to my house after duty? We are going to have a small celebration. I'm already on my way home to prepare the foods." Diana said enthusiastically on the other line.

"Okay. Sure. I'm on my way."

Diana is a social butterfly but selfless. She is the type of person that would throw a party for her son and invites her friends and her son's friend to the party but she knows that if she did that, her introvert best friend and her son's godmother wouldn't probably come so she selflessly abandons that idea and celebrates her son's birthday inconspicuously.

When she finished the call. The elevator reached the lobby. As soon as the door opens, she quickly gets out of it and walked as fast as she can out of the hospital.

Jacob was left smiling and said. "She's cute." James was speechless.

Diana's house was a couple of blocks away from J's apartment. She just went home to change into jeans and a shirt then walked straight to Diana's house.

When she's almost there she saw Diana in front of her house talking to a tall guy that is very familiar with her. Diana seemed to have never gotten inside her house coz she is still wearing her uniform and in her hand is the paper bag with groceries.

The tall guy stopped talking and looked at her direction. Diana also looked at her and said. "Miss J. You're here."

"Yeah," J said looking at the tall guy then she looked around. Not far away she saw a black heavy tinted car parked at the side street.

"Mommy!" a small figure came out of Diana's house and run towards Diana. Diana gave the little guy a hug.
