"Good morning Mr. Patrick"
"Hello dear HazeL, I hope you had a crazy night yesterday?" he inquired. I blushed and tilted my head, "that's a yes I guess. You made a lot of money yesterday, make sure you're here before the weekend, you can go now" he instructed briefly
I went back home and met my friend Bett who was making breakfast ''hello Bett when did you go home?" I asked picking up an apple from the table "a few minutes ago, how did it go with you?"
"Perfect Bett, don't talk about this now I'm going back to Los Angeles to start my dad's surgery we'll talk when I'm back" I asserted stepping to the stairs "yes my dear, I helped you with your luggage and your flight is at 8:30 am go get ready or you will be late for your flight I will pack food" she urged me getting busy in the kitchen, I slightly felt emotional "What am I going to do without you, I love you" I embraced her "I love you too, go ahead now my uncle is waiting" I nodded and rushed to my room to get ready, I ran downstairs with my luggage. "Come on make sure you eat''
"Yes, ma'am I will" I mumbled striding out of the house "be careful" I embraced her "it's quite foggy your uber is here" she pulled my luggage with her "I'll be fast now" I left the house for the airport, fortunately, I feel fulfilled that I can take care of my father, I called the hospital to tell them to start the operation of my father.
Arrived at the hospital, I paid my father's bill, went straight to the waiting room
I waited several hours before falling asleep. I got up when I heard the door open "nurse how is my dad, what about the operation?" I inquired extremely anxious
"Calm down miss Jones your dad is fine we just moved him from the emergency room to his ward he is still sleeping because of the anesthetics we gave him" the nurse explained, "can I see him now?"
"Yes, but don't disturb the patient" she motioned me to fathers ward and left "Daddy is so glad you did, it's only a matter of time we'll all be together as before, Jackson is fine and he's staying with granny now I wish I could extend my stay with you but I can't I need to fulfill my part as promised but I will always check If you are ok, I will tell the nurse to call me when you wake up I love you dad" I mumbled in one breathe, I doze off crying and holding his hand.
"Miss Jones" I heard someone call me between dreams and reality I woke up to see a nurse trying to get my attention "Miss Jones it's time for your dad's meds if you'll excuse us" I left the ward for our house in Los Angeles I need to get daddy's clothes to the hospital before I leave in the morning. Back home all kinds of emotions flash through, memories of my mother's death to how my ex-boyfriend Christian fooled me, "Hazel, you are bigger than this, don't let your emotions overwhelm you, you must be brave for your family" I calmed my nerves. After packing what I'll need, I head to my room, throw myself on the bed "what a stressful day" I mumbled before falling asleep.
Angelo's p.o.v.
"She left without waking me up, well that's good she was just my b***h for the night now everything is back to normal. But she's good and I can't get enough of what happened yesterday, you better get over it Angelo you have some work to do, yes I have to call my secretary" I muttered dialing his number, "Hello Mr. King ..."
"Mmm, what is my schedule for today?"
"You have a board meeting at 10 am, you have a lunch date with miss Genie the daughter of Mr. Alexander Richardson at 3 pm and the signing of the Mr. Smiths contract is at 7 pm, it is all for today sir" I rubbed my temple feeling my head is about to explode with migraine. "You will attend the board meeting and cancel the lunch date, I will not be coming into the company today" I asserted and disconnected the call.

"Miss Bella how is my father today?" I asked, "he is good, he searched for you when he was up, I'll leave you to your dad now" she left after giving dad's treatment. Seeing the doctor he told me that my dad is out of danger that his condition is stable and he has responded perfectly to the treatment, so far he has no shocking news until he made a full recovery. "Well I would like you to assign nurse Bella to take care of my dad"
"That's alright miss jones, Bella these are the meds your dad needs to get well" he handed me a written prescription, I left the office happy, my dad is recovering but I need to speak with him before boarding my flight to California, I thought while going to the drugstore. I paid for the drugs, gave the prescription to nurse Bella. I sat on the couch in the room where my dad was going through my phone when I heard my dad call in a low voice. "Daddy" I mumbled between my sobs, "my dear hazel, I've missed you so much my sweet girl" I embraced him so tight, "I missed you too daddy, do you know how sad and lonely it was when you are in the coma" I whispered sadly.
"How is your brother, I haven't seen him around" he tilted his head searching for Jackson.
"Jackson is with granny, they will come soon" I explained and stayed with him for a while. Leaving my dad and moving to California is the last thing I wanted, I feel so empty here but with my friend Bett, I still feel refreshed and motivated. It's been a month and two weeks since I started working here and I made a lot of profit because of my long slender legs, people love to watch me play I became popular here because of my flirty moves and got more tips than others, luckily I cover my face with a mask to perform, no one would discover the face behind the mask, I thought. "Haze you got lost in your thoughts what happened?" Bett sat next to me gazing deeply into my eyes, "nothing, I'm fine just thinking of how the time flies, in two weeks I will be leaving I will miss everyone" I muttered staring back at her, "you're not leaving yet Haze, be ready it will soon be your time, drink some of this lemon juice to feel energized" she handed me a glass of lemon juice which made me feel nausea. "Best I can't stand the smell it's awful that I wanna throw up"
"Fine baby, you can do it". I walked up to the stage hearing my name ringing in the room, how popular and loved I feel here, but I can't get into a romantic relationship with any guy, " Hazel what are you doing?" A voice interrupted my thoughts, I moved to the pole and started my stunts, moving my a** on the pole, I climbed up and spread my legs seductively spinning with my legs wide open, I started crawling with downward, I can hear people screaming my name I moved around dancing with some people while I poured a drink for some I caught a cold glimpse of my benefactor.
