Chapter 2 The New Director
Lamar finally stopped what he was doing, propped himself up
on his elbows beside me, and stared at me without blinking.
What’s up with your voice Got a cold or something he asked,
and for once, he actually sounded like he cared.
I nodded.
But then, he dipped down again and started touching me
intimately.
His kisses came down on me like a crazy rainstorm.
Desperate, I wriggled around under him, trying to get him to
stop. I shouted in my hoarse voice, Lamar! I gotta go to the
hospital for work!
I could still smell Matilda’s perfume on him, and it made me feel
like I was gonna throw up.
I didn’t want him touching me at all.
I just wanted to get out of there!
All of a sudden, my phone on the nightstand started buzzing.

I knew it was my alarm.
The lust in Lamar’s eyes went away, and he got off me.
He sneered, You gotta work a night shift at the hospital Why
don’t you just say that you’re off to meet some guy
I was so mad I laughed. You think I’m the one with secrets What
about you
He raised an eyebrow, looking at me with a playful smirk.
Today’s our anniversary, and I wasn’t there for you. You jealous
I didn’t feel like arguing, so I hopped up, grabbed a halfway
decent outfit from the closet, and went to the bathroom to
change.
When I came out, Lamar was already dressed and ready to go.
It’s late. I can’t let you go alone. I’ll take you.
No, thanks, I replied flatly.
Just then, his phone rang.
He stepped out onto the balcony to take the call.
No doubt it was Matilda calling.

I turned and started to leave.
At the entrance, Lamar called out to me, Alexandra, wait up!
I stopped and turned to look at him.
I’ve got some things to handle. Be careful out there. Call me
when you’re done with work tomorrow, and I’ll come get you.
He paused, then added, If there’s anything you want, I’ll take
you to get it. It’s my way of making up for our anniversary
today.
I shook my head and gave a brittle laugh. You just gave away a
sapphire necklace. How could I possibly ask you to spend more
If you need to go be with her, you should hurry.
His gaze froze. You… You know everything
I didn’t answer him. Instead, I walked away quickly.
When I got to the department, I overheard my colleagues
talking about a special patient they had just admitted.
After a colleague finished speaking, my boss Dwayne Ponce
gave me an intense look, like he was pretty ticked off.
The colleague next to me whispered, Alexandra, this guy here is
the new director, Terrell Bauer. He just got transferred in.

So that was it.
I was late on Terrell’s first day here.
I forced an awkward smile at him, which I guessed served as a
greeting.
He gave off an intense vibe that made him feel hard to
approach.
