Chapter 4 A witch

Alexis POV

I walked into my home, pulled off my shoes and slipped my legs into the comfortable flip flops.

I turned on the music and sat on the couch with a tired sigh.

"Kim" i called and he walked out from inside the kitchen.

"You are not leaving tonight?" I asked him.

"I am not leaving yet sir but I would soon be on my way after cooking your meal" he replied.

"Okay then"

I took my focus back to the my briefcase, I opened it up and the two scripts I had taken came into view.

I brought out the both and stared at the both for a moment before picking the one I had taken from the childish girl up.

I really wanted to know what nonsense she had written in the book.

I opened the book and shook my head at what was written in the book, she was really brave to have come to me with such script.

The script seemed to have a pretty nice movement and flow but it was all about an angel and the fact that I did not like the script writer made the book seem more like nonsense to me.

I dropped the script on the table and headed to my room. I pulled off my clothes, stripped, tied a towel around my waist and walked into the bathroom to have a bath.

I stepped into the shower and turned on the cold water, I had been sweating all day and what I really did need was cold water.

The cold water cooled me down a whole lot until I felt a spilting and hard headache, I dug my hands into my hair and pulled at it hard as I turned off the shower, breathing heavily.

I stood before the mirror while I struggled with the headache. I slipped to the wey and slippery floor.

I spent minutes in that position before it finally left as suddenly as it had come to me.

I stood up and took another bath since I was already sweating due to the headache.

I stepped out of the bathroom and heard my phone ringing. I walked over to my phone while drying my hair up with a white towel.

Picking up my phone from where it was dropped, I found that the caller was who I was expecting,my mum.

"Hello mum" I picked up the call and dropped the phone on my table after activating the speaker button.

"Hello Son, how did you feel today?"

"I felt better than usual" I lied to her. I did not want her worrying over me yet again.

"I think you are lying to me, your voice sounds a bit weak"

"I am really fine" I insisted.

"I do not think so"

My door opened after a short knock, it was Kim.

"Boss, this is your....."

"Is that Kim?" Mum asked me interrupting Kim.

"Yes mum"

"Hand the phone over to him,I would better talk to him instead"

I picked my phone and stretched it out to Kim, he quickly placed down the tray of food in his hands and collected the phone from me.

"Good evening ma"

They both talked for about a minute before Kim returned the phone to me.

I took the phone to my ears and what a mistake that was, my eardrums almost bursted due to the loud scream I heard.

"I told you not to lie to me!"

"I am not lying to you mum"

"You are home, right? I am coming to your home right away" mum said authoritatively.

"There's nothing you are coming to do here mum, it is late already"

"I heard you were sick this morning and Kim even told me that right at this moment, you look a bit disheveled"

"I would be fine mum, I am taking my medications daily, I am going to be fine. You do not need to worry about me"

"You are giving me more reasons to worry about you by not telling me things"

"I am on my way to your place and you can't stop me."

"Mum, you really do not need...." A beep followed, mum had ended the call.

I dropped the phone and turned to face Kim, my expression asking him why he decided to tell mum the truth when he knew that was like the last thing I would want to do.

"I am sorry, she insisted that I tell her" he apologized.

"What can I do? You said it already" I mumbled and took my seat on the chair. I pulled the tray of food closer to myself.

"Mum is coming here tonight and so you are also going no where tonight, I would not be dealing with mum alone"

"I really have to go home"

"You should have known that before telling mum what would make her rush over here"

"I am sorry"

"I would also be sorry for making you sleep over once more"

I dug into the meal and began eating silently.

I finished with eating and grabbed my laptop to do some office work. I had not gone far into it when I heard mum yelling out my name.

I sighed, pressing my lips into a thin line. I shut down the laptop, knowing fully well that I would not be able to make use of it with mum around.

I stepped out of my room and alighted the stairs to go meet her downstairs.

"Oh my! Take a look at my son" she gasped and walked to me.

"This is... This is not getting better"

"I am really getting better"

"Kim, is he getting better?" Mum asked Kim.

"To be honest, boss is not getting better in any way, the sicknesses keeps occuring every now and then, we can have a situation about three times a day" Kim replied mum and j shook my head.

Can this guy just learn how to hide things from mum?

"This is bad" mum mumbled.

"It is not as bad as Kim puts it, I am taking the medications and doing...."

"Do not tell me that tonight, go and get dressed properly. We are going out"

"Where to in the middle of the night?"

"Somewhere you have been trying to avoid all your life"

"Not there mum"

"Kim, get the car ready, we are going to see the witch"
