The mood seems lighter than it was earlier. Malik shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders as he exits to the adjacent balcony. He notices that Drystan is still standing there.
“Hey, she’s safe now, please be attentive to her and make sure she feels comfortable. She’s a kind of lady that doesn't speak much whether she feels bad or down. The only thing you’ll know is that she’s gonna be laying on the floor.”
Malik smiled bitterly as he commented about his lady boss. Drystan furrows his brows looking at him and he smiles bitterly.
“Do you have any feelings for my fiance? You can’t deny the fact of how you treat my fiance as you did to her?
Drystan looks sour facing him and he can’t conceal his jealousy towards Malik. Malik looks at him blankly. He knows Drystan is being jealous of him. He tilted his head and acted like he didn't know what he was talking about.
“Man, stop all your nonsense thinking that I’m going to steal your girl. I know my place and to be honest even if I keep this incident a secret I can guarantee you that she will know this incident. I’m not a cry baby that will ask someone to defend myself. I am here to treat her as her doctor and you can confirm it to her secretary Macy.”
Drystan's shoulders fall to what he hears from Malik. The conversation was cut when Malik’s phone rang. Macy’s name flashes on the screen. He glances at Drystan coldly and answers the phone.
“Hey, Macy, what can I do for you? I'm messed up right now yet I have time for a long conversation with you.”
Both parties cackle on the phone .
“You know what, I don’t know what our boss sees in you? You are always a mess but nevertheless you are still in her good books. A reliable one too, anyway can we cut this nonsense of yours. The convertible will be delivered today and the van will be in a few days. Perhaps two to three days at least since Mrs. Chen said it was customized and takes time to get it done.”
Macy detailed all the information to him. Malik on the other hand listened to her attentively. Moments after the call ended Drystan stared at him sternly.
“Don’t look at me like you want to eat me, I’m not in my position to tell you everything I’m just a mere subordinate that follows orders and the doctor of your fiance. I don’t have rights to disclose any business regarding my lady boss. She’s awake already so you can talk to her. And one thing more here is the number of Franzlie’s secretaries scan it so that doubt of yours flares away.”
Malik states his predicament calmly yet cold.
“Excuse me, I need to report this matter to my boss.”
Malik left, leaving Drystan fuming and jealous. The chap taking his leave goes back to the room where Franzlie and her family are having a conversation. Malik knocks the door before he enters back to the room.
“Hey, I bet you feel alright now? And as your doctor I already spilled out that you are ill.”
Malik explains to Franzlie while the lady glared at him badly and Arthur sees what she did. The old man shakes his head and stands up on the couch where he sits.
“Dear, you don’t have to hide it. At least let us know what’s happening to you and don’t give us a heart attack, panicking about what you did. If you are tired then rest, you ain't a superhero that doesn't get tired doing things to the world. You are a lady, a pretty one. And I’m not going to change my mind that I want to see my grandkids with you. Do note that word “GRANDKIDS”. We clear now right.”
Arthur speaks his words blank yet authoritive. Her brothers listen to their father look at her with a plea. Franzlie smiles and nods her head in response to her father.
“Franzlie the car is on the way to be delivered here at your place. May I know who can receive it? Macy informed me a few moments ago. Mrs. Chen called her yesterday and informed her. About the other car, Mrs. Chen said it will take two or three more days. And the last one is your new project in progress.”
Malik's report is straightforward and Franzlie understood what he meant with the new project. Her mood becomes stern and her brother Achlys notices it.
“Is there something wrong Franz? Do you feel pain or something?”
Malik looks away and Achlys holds her hands and pats it.
“Don’t you dare to stand on your bed with your IV. We can cater the delivery. Rhory and Xanth will do it since they are the ones with you when you purchase the car. Malik will come to them too. Just take a rest and please don’t be stubborn.”
Franzlie shakes her head that she doesn't agree.
“Well, I guess we will accompany you then since you don’t agree with us.” Rhory does take the electric wheelchair outside. I know this is going to happen anyway.”
Achlys sighed and rubs his palm onto his face Llyr rolled his eyes and shrugged though he really wanted to laugh hard.
“Malik the car is for you. That is my present for you and I know you are having a hard time with your old car. I’m not spoiling you idiot, but do take care of all the projects for now, report to me once in a while. Plus do me a favor. The last report that you gave me is not complete. The figures are giving me a headache.”
Rhory comes back with the wheelchair and they help her to get up and sit on it. They wheeled her to the receiving room waiting for the shipment to come. Malik feels bliss being gifted by a new car. He bows his head thanking her.
