Mr.Clark

2-Quitting is not an option.
The birds on the roof of the hospital building escapes and scattered in the sky...
Julie Michelle
Well on the bright side...
Julie Michelle
..you weren't fired 🤷♀️
Gloria Reeves 😳
😣This is bad...
Gloria Reeves 😳
...really bad.
The Senior nurse Gloria injured was assigned by Mr. Clark to as a private nurse at the Blacks Mansion.
Now Gloria will work there in her stead...
...But Gloria was just an employed intern.Her knowledge in the medical field was little.
And compared to the Senior nurse,she lacked experience.
She could still recall the look on Rapheal's face when he returned from discussing with Mr.Clark.
He was only staring at her but Gloria could feel Knots in her stomach.
Luckily Mrs.Sylvia entered and broke the awkward atmosphere.
Madam Sylvia
Oh You're still here,do you need anything else?
Rapheal Black✨
No ma'am,I'll be on my way*leaves*
As soon as he leaves,Gloria grabs Mrs.Sylvia's shirt like a child and cries.
Gloria Reeves 😳
pls,Madam there must be another way🥺🥺
Gloria Reeves 😳
<I can't work for that scary guy😭😭>
Madam Sylvia
Don't give me that look.
Madam Sylvia
weren't you the one who said you would do anything to make up for This?
Madam Sylvia
You'll be moving to the Blacks Mansion by Monday.
Madam Sylvia
*Pinches Gloria's earlobes*
Madam Sylvia
You little nitwit!
Madam Sylvia
Do you really think you'll be given another chance to be late?
Madam Sylvia
It's better if you move there.
Madam Sylvia
Besides the Blacks wouldn't tolerate any mistakes...
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Gulps on recalling Mrs.Sylvia last statement*
Julie Michelle
If you don't wanna do it,Just quit your job.
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Smiles wryly*
Gloria Reeves 😳
...Sadly,that's not an option either.
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Enters Mr.Clark's office*
Gloria Reeves 😳
Sir I need to speak to you.
Mr.Clark
*seems busy with the papers on the table* Go on.
Gloria Reeves 😳
I'm not up for this job.
Gloria Reeves 😳
I wanna quit.
Mr.Clark
*Sets aside the papers he was attending to before*
Mr.Clark
*hands over some papers to her*
Gloria Reeves 😳
...🙄 why does that smile look like a trap?
Gloria Reeves 😳
*took what she thought was some resignation papers but was confused by the numerous figures*
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Um...What is this?
Gloria Reeves 😳
Is this a joke?
Gloria Reeves 😳
This is up to a million!!!
Mr.Clark
Well,It includes the treatment for the senior nurse you injured.I almost feel sorry for her,She was hurt so badly,she can't even walk.She'll be on the wheel chair for the entire treatment.
Mr.Clark
Let's also talk about our clients,the Blacks,their request would be left ungranted...because of you.They'll be offended.
Mr.Clark
You don't need me to explain how influential they are.There will surely be consequences if we offend them.And Our Hospital will surely face a lot of future losses...
Mr.Clark
...You'll have to compensate For that.💁♀️
Mr.Clark
...*acts pitiful* We haven't even talked about the emotional compensation for the stress a hardworking officer like me would go through by that time....
Mr.Clark just kept explaining as Gloria turns each of the papers of the bills in disbelief.
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Eye lids twitches as she strangled the papers...
Gloria Reeves 😳
...the same way she wanted to strangle the person in front of her.*
Gloria Reeves 😳
<Emotional compensation,my @ss 😤>
Julie Michelle
What do you mean by that?
Gloria Reeves 😳
*regains her senses*..huh?
Julie Michelle
I meant what do you mean by quitting is not an option?
Gloria Reeves 😳
Never mind Julie.
Gloria Reeves 😳
<😅I shouldn't bother Juliet with this,She has already done so much for me.>
Gloria Reeves 😳
<Besides,...a million? That's just too much.>
Julie Michelle
hmm...ok.*Stuff her face with food*
Julie Michelle
I know you are worried because you don't know much about Nursing
Julie Michelle
but Aunt Sylvia is there to help.
Julie Michelle
You should go to bed,I'll join you shortly.
Gloria Reeves 😳
<😫Julie is right,I should try to relax.>
Gloria spent the weekend getting as much information as she can.Mrs.Sylvia was also there to help.
The Patient was the oldest son of the Blacks and also the future heir of the Blacks.
No one in particular knows exactly what happened to him,but for unknown reasons,his sickness was kept hidden from the public.
Gloria Reeves 😳
<Maybe it's because of their popularity.>
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Someone who also doesn't understand why his sickness was kept a secret*
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Skips to a nearby pet store in a jolly mood*
...on reaching the pet store.
Gloria Reeves 😳
*Surprised*
Gloria Reeves 😳
What happened here?
Gloria learns that the pet store is closed and the place would be renovated as a cafe.
All the pets has been taken away by the animal control.
Gloria Reeves 😳
<I guess they took Buttercup too,I'm really gonna miss her.>
Buttercup was a little puppy.It was cute and its fur was so smooth for touch.
She would've gotten the puppy as a pet,if not for her job issues.
Gloria Reeves 😳
*goes home*
Julie Michelle
*in her room,eating,when Gloria enters*
Gloria Reeves 😳
Seriously?
Gloria Reeves 😳
is there any other thing you do apart from stuffing your face with food?
Julie Michelle
😏...You can eat what you want if you were a paid employee.
Julie Michelle
By the way,you forgot to lock the door again.
Gloria Reeves 😳
Oh *locks the door*
Gloria Reeves 😳
Julie,You won't believe what happened today...
Gloria explains what she heard when she visited the pet store.
Julie Michelle
...well,I believe that.
Julie Michelle
These days pets have been attacking people.
Julie Michelle
Yea from the news.
Julie Michelle
Well you should rest,you don't wanna be late tomorrow.
Gloria Reeves 😳
😫*sighs* I know.
