Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Barbara! God, I was worried, when I heard what happened. Barbara look at him.

Yes, I called to check on you but Kathleen was the one that pick.

Oh no! That naughty Kathleen will tease me nonstop. She facepalm herself, Jeffrey pushed her into a hug. Don't worry, if she try that I will tickle her. Barbara pulled Jeffrey hand to sit beside her.

That means, you want to kill Kathleen, you know that naughty girl don't like that.

Of cause, I am only going to scare her with that. Barbara laughed then hug Jeffrey. I know you are too sweet to do that, here you should help me tie my hair in one. Jeffrey pack her hair blushing his finger a little on her neck. Hey, your hand is ticklish.

Does it make you feel better?

Ahem! Dante coughed, Gordon moves his gaze back to the three, he was on call since he enter the office, he had left his meeting halfway, as soon as he heard what happened to Barbara. Gordon drop his phone, he knows Dante is dying inside already, then move to her.

Barbara, how are you feeling now?

I thought you not going to asked? You have been talking on the phone nonstop.

Sorry, I really just want to round this up, so tell me, are you still traumatized? So we can see...

Come on, I am fine, is just some cockroach, probably too scared of it, it's creepy, maybe that is the reason I don't like it.

Cockroach? What will a cockroach been doing a company? Such an incompetent company, leaving his staff in danger...

Jeffrey! Gordon called him, Dante clenched his fist.

Why? The company should always look out for the welfares of their staffs, not just using them as money making machine, their staffs welfare, should be their priority, still of making money from their...

Come on, those are unintentional mistake, so you shouldn't take it to heart when such negligence arises, it's not the company fault..

Even at that...

My baby! Kathleen run inside and hugged her tight.

How are you? I was really worried for you.

I should probably fall sick all the time, so this naughty Kathleen and Jeffrey will always care for me.

Silly, hi Gordon!

Hi Kathleen, how are you? Gordon asked her, she nodded then look at Barbara back.

Stop staring at me, I am fine and big bro what did you get me?

Hm! I called Jeffrey, to help me get some pancakes for you.

What are you waiting for? Let me see it. Barbara order Jeffery as soon as she heard Gordon's words, Jeffrey bring out the pancakes and scrambled eggs.

Whoa! You should feed me. Kathleen look at Dante, that is wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Come on Barbara, let me feed you.

No, you should feed Jayden instead of feeding me. Kathleen frown, Barbara dragged her chin. Stop sulking, Jayden might think, you don't love him.

Barbara! Kathleen called in frustration, Barbara smiled then wink at Jayden, he fall his face in embarrassment.

Did you make this?

Hm! You should know I love pancakes.

Perfect then, you should make it every morning for me and I will reward you hearty.

With what? Jeffrey asked as he feeds her, then wipe the food particles at the side of her lips. Gordon watch Dante frustration, he wants to pushed Dante to jealous lane and he is going to do that, Barbara is always friendly towards Jeffrey, they are really close, more like siblings, it's just that Jeffrey had feelings for Barbara, the young lady is not yet aware of Jeffrey's feelings for her, since Dante is having feelings for Barbara, he is sure that Dante might also be aware of the fact that Jeffrey love Barbara.

Don't you have your hand to eat? Dante burst his anger, he can't hold it anymore, he is not going to keep this torture.

Why? Barbara asked, he wanted to say something, Sally run into the VIP ward.

Oh Barbara, how are you? Are you sure you are not feeling any pain? Sally keeps touching Barbara, inspecting everywhere on her body.

I am fine, I am feeling embarrass now.

Why? You shouldn't be embarrass, it's all the fault of that creeping insect, you are not the only one afraid of things, me, I am afraid of needles, did you know one time, I passed out with the mere sight of injection...

Gordon burst in laughter, then pin his lips together, as all eyes move to Gordon, Sally didn't notice him at first, hearing his laughter, make her startled.

Hi!

Hi! The two greet awkwardly, Gordon fall his face, Sally too go mute.

Big bro, don't you remember her? Gordon look at Barbara. Don't look at me, tell me what happened between you two.

I better Leave I have an appointment. Gordon hurry to the door, Sally is aware that, she will be the next target.

I think I should leave, since big bro is not there, I should be there.

Oh! You are really having a welcome party for the new vice Chairwoman.

It was postponed, she said you should get better fast, so we could celebrate together and she feel awkward knowing that you are here and the company is having a party.

Oh! She pinned her lips.

I will have to go now. Sally hurry out, Jeffrey caress Barbara's hair, as everywhere go calm, Barbara could remember the incident, is like her fear is creeping in again, she grabbed the sheet with her hand.

Babs!

Dante called once, distracting her, she nodded slightly, Calvin pulled the door.

Daughter! He called and run towards his daughter then hug the young woman tight.

Dad, I can't breath.

Sorry, I was only scared for my baby.

Father, you were scares and you are coming only now? Why do people tell me that are worried for me but show little or no interest in me?

Come on daughter, I was here earlier, I have lot of meetings to attend to, so I had to leave, since this young man volunteer to stay with you. Sorry dear.

It's fine, I forgive you. Calvin smiled then caress her hair.

How are you feeling now? She nodded to indicate fine, then hugged Calvin and peck him. Hm! My daughter has upgraded, she even let the cockroach touch her before passing out. Maybe the next time, you will overcome that stupid cockroach thing in your head.

Barbara pouted and murmured. Hmmp! Father is proud of me.

"Of cause, father is always proud of his princess"

So I am really a princess? Calvin laughed at her words then turn his gaze to Dante.

Thanks son!

For what? Barbara asked, everyone eyes move to her. Stop staring, he did nothing, he was practically sleeping instead of watching over me.

Dante fall his face in guilt, Barbara smirked, Calvin noticed that his daughter is teasing the young man.

Hey, am I lying? He raised his eyes slowly.

I am sorry sir! His face is like that of a teenage boy, Barbara want to laughed, she just put up a sad face.

Stop teasing the young man, you should be grateful he help your dad, a little appreciation will be fine.

Dad, I am feeling pain in my back. Kathleen laughed, then push Barbara's head, the young woman doesn't want to appreciate Dante, after sometime, the place was lively, the young ones were having their normal bantering of words with one another, Jayden could blend easily with Barbara, Jeffrey and Kathleen, Calvin noticed that Dante is not the type that talks too much and he is not comfortable with Jeffrey's affection towards Barbara, he excused himself, Calvin follow him.

Dammit! Why is she flirting with him?

Do you think that is flirting? He startled with Calvin's voice.

Sir, you scared me.

Sorry, I didn't mean to creepy on you.

It's fine, I was just caught off guard, do you want anything?

Let's grab a cup of coffee. Dante look at him. You shouldn't be scared of me, I don't bite, I realized that we are the only awkward ones there, so it's better we pair than stay there likes idiot. Dante gave him a weak smile then make his way to the cafeteria in the hospital.
