Chapter 20: Chapter 20

A knock at the door. Alexa opened it, "Good morning ma'am! How can I help you?" Alexa asked thinking that she is a patient that will list her name for check up. "Where's John?" Trisha asked and Alexa felt a little puzzled because there was something in the woman infront of her sending an alarming feeling. "He's currently doing his rounds but it will take only a while and we'll be starting his clinic as soon as he arrives. You can sit outside while waiting for your turn." Alexa said looking at Trisha smiling though her gut feeling is telling something else. "I"ll just wait for him here." Trisha said that made Alexa's brow raised. "By the way, I'm Trisha, I'm John's fiancee. I just came back from the States and I'm here so I could talk to him about our wedding preparations." Trisha said with a wide smile on her face. Alexa was shocked about the certain announcement dropped into her face. She couldn't understand of what Trisha had said. Only the words fiancée and marriage left on her mind. "And you are?" Trisha said not minding her reaction. Alexa regained herself but still trying to cope up from shocked. "I'm Alexa, Dr. John's secretary." Alexa answered but she wanted to shout to this bitch that she was John's girlfriend and they were living together but stopped herself to prevent any unwanted commotion. To prevent further discussion, Alexa dialled a number on the intercom. "Hello, Bella, is Dr. Graciano there?" Alexa asked in a trembling voice. Bella caught the formality on her friend's voice but put it on the back of her mind and just ask her later. "Yes, he's here, did you miss him already?" Bella teased Alexa. "Just give him the phone!" Alexa said in a high tone that made Bella a little surprised. "There really something going on." Bella said in her mind while handling the phone to John. "Yes, wifey? Miss me already?" John said sweetly but doesn't know that on the other line was an incoming world war 3. "Dr. John Graciano, there is someone here waiting for you. Her name is Trisha and said she was your fiancee from the States. She wanted to see you immediately to talk about your wedding preparations!" Alexa said it clearly but there's a hard tone on every word she said. John frozed, sweat all over him, he didn't know what to do next, he can't move. On his mind, "I'm dead!" "Dr. John?" Bella said that made John woke up from his deep thought. John ran as fast as he could going downstairs. Bella left puzzled. "What's going on?" She murmured.
