Chapter 5 Rescue team; secret revealed

Another beautiful day to work as a nurse and explore what she had worked for. Watching the envy in other nurses eyes and the attention of her dating the most handsome doctor in the hospital. The world is already in her feet, she can feel it.

Lisa kept staring at her face in the mirror and adjusting her uniform. She have to look the most pretty and neat, no mistakes as much as possible. Perhaps if she shows how good she can be, Smith would later come around and run after her again and that time, she's gonna make him beg alot. That thought alone sent sexual impulses to her brain. It's been long, she got laid.

Since the meeting with Smith's parents, Lisa knew she has stepped up her game above his other admirers. Luck is really on her side this period especially this moment when her only competitor has failed- Joyce. Who would have thought her mum's plan will work really fast this way?. Now she has her man and a heiress to her father's property. She can't wait to live her dreams.

One end, she was happy about Joyce's predicament and the other end, she is still in dismay to how far her mum can go about this case and afraid, if this won't boomerang on them.

To be candid, Joyce didn't really offend them actually but she is such a competitor. Joyce is the favored one with the brains. She got into schools on her own abilities while Lisa got into schools through her father's influence and even her present job. With the way, things are moving, their dad might want to will all the properties to Joyce and that is what her mum is avoiding at all cost. It's either the properties are willed equally or it all goes to Lisa.

As for Lisa, she only had the grudge and jealousy against Joyce, nothing more and nothing less. And for that, she is ready to join her mum at any length to fight this battle against her at all cost.

Her thought was interrupted when Ash came in to the nurse's break room. She really dislike Ash with passion. Ash already picked her side- Joyce's, enough reason to hate her. When Ash just resumed to duty, Lisa actually had the mind to take her in but to her surprise she found Ash in Joyce bossom, the anger grew more in her than before.

"Atleast you will knock." Lisa said looking back at her

Silence.

"You won't even greet?, Or you are not told there's hierarchy in nursing?"

The door opened again.

"Just let the poor girl be" Vivian said , holding Ash's hand.

Lisa scoffed. She was about to leave the room when Vivian held her hand to stop her from leaving.

Vivian faced Ash. " Can you please excuse us for a minute?"

Ash nodded still looking down and left.

Lisa started laughing. "Don't tell me you want to blame for your unfortunate friend"

Vivian moved near her , looking at her closely with a fierce look. She didn't even know about the admission and Lisa knew it before her?. What's exactly is going on?. "So you knew?"

"And you don't?"

The room was silent.

"I don't know the games you are playing here but definitely you lost." Lisa said.

"No one is playing games with you, I'm just here to warn you"

"Warn me?, For what?" Lisa paused. "I did nothing wrong darling." She trailed her hand over Vivian's hair while Vivian slapped her hand from her.

"Don't you dare, use your filthy hands on me." Vivian said pointing her hands at her.

"Cool down your blood, nurse. Or else if you prefer tachycardia of infact hypertension." Lisa said laughing.

"and how about I tell everyone you guys are siblings?"

Lisa laughed hysterically, clapping her two hands together like making an applause. "And who do you think will bear the loss, huh?" . She took a step back." Definitely your best friend, her predicament presently is enough reason to send her packing from the mentally stable ones." She was not surprised Vivian knew about them, as a best friend to Joyce, definitely she will know but she finds it hard to fathom the reason Vivian kept quiet about it for this long.

Silence.

"I don't know what you're planning to do Viv but take your ass off anything that has to do with my family" Lisa pointed her.

"And if I don't?"

" Then you follow suit like your dumb best friend" Lisa replied back.

Vivian couldn't believe her ears. She never thought the hatred was this bad and cruel. Really dumb?. "You mean the dumb girl that got her position as the assistant director of nursing without any of her father's influence? Or the girl dumb girl that won several awards for herself and the profession you claim you are practicing?"

Those words are like dagger piercing through her heart, she is really hitting her really hard. Lisa swallowed the tears almost coming down from her face. "Atleast still dumb to be a psychiatric patient as a psychiatric nurse."

"Anyone can fall and definitely you're still going to fall eventually."

"Then let me fall first before you declare my fall." Lisa said as she pushed Vivian aside and left the break room.

She is really enjoying this show. Her mum was right, as long as Joyce is not in the equation anymore, more attention will be on her. She really love this attention. Now is to finally get Smith.

If she is able to get Smith, she got everything she ever wanted. Whether forcefully or through deceit or willingly, she must have him. A home of her own, a job, her father's property and satisfaction from her quest of victory.

This time around, she would do all it takes. Desperate as ever as she can be!

******************

Smith really knew something was missing. He has gone several times secretly to watch Joyce and really she is not having the attention she deserved. Treating her in the same hospital where she works might really slow down her healing process.

Or maybe he should take her in? He thought. That will be the best idea but he has to do it secretly to avoid all these talks in the hospital, considering the fact that there's ongoing selection for Chief Medical Director position. He just want to treat patient and get out of the hospital not all these politics drama.

Since his high school, everyone want to get him into one competition or the other. From science clubs to debating society, till the extent, he just lost interest. He just want to live life as he pleases, to his own expectation and satisfaction. He wasn't born to give anybody a show.

"Hey baby"

He looked up. " Atleast Lisa, you"ll knock." Banging his hand on the table in frustration.

She locked the door, ignoring him.

"Why locking the godammn door for fuck sake?" He shouted at her.

She moved closer him seductively. She started unzipping herself. He tried to move away from the chair but she was too fast, she managed to sit on his lap , facing him. She was kissing him on his neck, face and anywhere he got a skin. He was struggling but she was fast and knew the right places to play with.

"You know I really miss you huh" she whispered to his ear while moaning silently in the same momentum. Heaven knows she was patient enough for them to do something like this without doing it in the workplace but he was too difficult and stubborn.

"We shouldn't be doing this and you know." He manages to speak up.

She placed her index finger on his lip as a way of keeping him shut. " Shuush, just enjoy this moment." She whispered again.

She went down his body, removing his shirt bottom while still kissing every abs . " You got a pretty body,huh" she whispered again watching him moan. She slides her hand into his trouser, holding his already erected manhood, " fuck I really miss this" she moaned out while he groaned silently.

As much as Smith is enjoying this sexual tension, he knows this isn't right. And it is going to be a shame on him if Lisa have her way today. He got his senses back and quickly removed her hand. " Lisa, stop". He yelled at her.

She was adamant , trying to put her hand back in to stroke him but he stood up and set her side.

" But why Smith?"

" You know why already"

" I can't fathom any reason for this"

" You slept with my friend remember?"

Lisa was strucked. So this is the reason he has been avoiding any relationship with her and even sex? Because she knows how sex addicted he was when they were still together. She moved closer . "But that was long time ago" she said faintly.

Smith buttoning his shirt and dressing himself back. "Long time ago for you but I still can't forget the betray and you know I don't forget things people do to me"

" Till now?"

" You can't expect me to marry you and then one day I"ll come back from work and see another man on my matrimonial bed" he said, now sitting down.

"You only think of me as a whore?"

"Call it anything you like but that's exactly how I feel about you"

"So why taking me to your parents then?"

"I didn't put ideas in your head." He shrugged.

"Smith, answer the fucking questions!" Lisa yelled at him.

"And you won't come to my office to seduce me and now shout back at me! " He yelled back, pointing at her.

"Oh now, I'm seducing you?, You were fucking moaning!"

"And who the hell will be under that torture that will stay still, I'm even strong enough to reject a free food." He never meant the free food but seriously she really got on his nerves and the issue now is the fact that the memory now keeps coming back, vividly, like it's just happened.

Free food?, Is that what she is now?. If she could turn back time and change what happened, she would gladly accept that. She never meant to cheat him. She never knew Smith took their relationship in exclusivity. She had always thought they were casual, judging the fact that he doesn't express his feelings. How is she suppos to know?. His best friend wanted her and she also quest for his body and they hooked up but unfortunately Smith caught them and since they he had never seen her the same way again, no matter how much, she tried.

" Smith......" She was finding the words to say when knocks interrupted her.

Knock from the door.

" Who is there?" They both chorused.

"It's Ash, I want to see Doctor Smith"

Lisa wished she can strangle that witch right this moment. Why now all of a sudden?. She hurriedly zipped her gown, took her cap and opened the door, left them but not until she gave Ash a stern warning look.

" Is everything okay?" Ash asked innocently. "You sent for me"

" Yeah, yeah, I need your help"

Ash smiled brightly as usual, this time with lot of eagerness. " anything for you"

" I want to take Joyce in and I want it to be done as secret as it is"

Ash opened her mouth in shock and excitement.

Smith noticed that ." Is that too much to ask?"

" We have to inform her relative and apart from her dad, I don't think there's anyone in that family" Ash replied now comporting herself.

Smith threw a file to her. "That's the consent form, inform her dad, get him to sign it , as secretly as possible and then you get what you want"

Ash moved to the table to pick the file. " What I want?" She asked curiously.

"Don't you want me to help her again?"

Ash smiled again. " I do and I'm really grateful you are doing this for her, let me get to this fast". She set to leave, opened the door and looked back " thanks alot" she said smiling.

Smith nodded. Door closed. He couldn't believe he just resisted the almighty Lisa. He still can't fathom why she cheated on him the other time. He was every woman's dream then and now and yet she chose to sleep with his friend. Definitely she is insatiable. Part of the reasons he is not ready to get married. Getting a baby mamma is definitely the best option for him.

***************************************

POV: Nurses break room.

" What's going on?" Vivian asked Ash who was arranging the side room bed.

Even though Ash knew the close relationship between Joyce and Vivian, she is not going to tell her the truth.

" Nothing"

" Where is Joyce?"

" Her dad came to take her out"

" So why are you packing the bed linen?"

Ash stopped what she was doing, turned her back to face her . " Why interrogating me for doing my job?"

Vivian was shocked and same thing shaking with fear. Ash can see her shaking . Maybe she is scared something is wrong with her friend , Ash thought but she is not going to tell her the truth.

" Don't tell me her step mum came here to do some shit" Vivian said angrily.

Ash was dumbfounded right now. Step mum? How? Where?. Everyone thought Joyce lost her mum and only has a dad and that's definitely written in her appointment history. " What do you mean by step mum?" She asked.

Vivian knew this is the time to let the cat out of bag because telling Ash everything, definitely means the whole hospital will know about this. Her plan has to allign with this. " So you didn't know Lisa is her step sister?" She replied back.

" What the hel...." Ash couldn't complete her statement at the sight of Smith.

Smith moved towards them. " You mean what?"

Vivian maintained her stand as the revealer of all truth, this is her triumphant moment. " I'm very sure her step mum and Lisa are behind the narcotics in her drink" she dropped the biggest bombshell as she watched the surprise look on their faces.

Smith couldn't believe Lisa kept this secret from her for the past three years since they crossed path again. That girl is really a devil.

He faced Ash. " I really need you to be quiet about this please"

Vivian moved in their middle. " And why should she be quiet?"

" With all due respect Nurse Vivian, I'm talking to my charged nurse and not you" Smith replied back pointing at Ash and back to Vivian. " And by any chance if I hear about this from any where, then I will believe it's from you and you will face disciplinary actions because I trust my charged nurse" he announced finally and stormed out.

Ash couldn't hide her blush. He trust her?. Really?. She really wish there's a camera recording this now. She promised to herself not to allow her loquacious attitude ruin her this time. She looked at Vivian scornfully and left.

Vivian knew her plan failed. She is now the villlian in the story.
