"Boss we should take her to the hospital"

"Jeff don't start let's just leave her and go we have a meeting to catch and you know I don't love being late""

"Boss do you know what people will say concerning this incident right here? It is going to tarnish your image and you will have a lot of negative talks. Think about it boss""

After some hesitations Henry agrees to Jeff's proposal to take Lily to the hospital where they are able to exchange a few words.

" Ok let's go. But you will be in charge"

"Okay sir let's go"

At the hospital Lily regains consciousness and Henry is forced to talk to her by his driver.

" Hi! How are you feeling. I'm Henry"

" I'm Lily . Thank you for bringing me to the hospital."

Her phone rings and it's jenny on the phone and she picks.

"Excuse me sir. Hello Jenny"

" Lily dear. How are you doing? Where are you right now? You know we have to go somewhere soon. Where are you ? What a minute is that a hospital?"

" Can you just calm down. I'm in the hospital I will talk to you later. Just wait for me at home."

She drops the call and goes back to her discussion with Henry

" Lily right? What happened? Why did you try to commit suicide?"

" I didn't try to commit any suicide. I'm sorry sir. Just that I wasn't myself after I was fired without any explanation and I don't know what to do. It was actually the only way I could meet my needs and right now I am frustrated because I don't know how to go about looking for a new job."

Henry gets a call from the office reminding him, he has just few minutes left for the meeting.

He gets up and walks away telling Jeff to follow him. Jeff runs to Lily and gives her some money for transportation and tells her to get something to eat with the rest.being great full, she takes the money and thank him . He then leaves and follows Henry.

Lily gets home and meets jenny already waiting for her with the diny table already set.

" Are you okay? Take a sit. What happened"

"Please jenny let me get some food . Seriously I'm very pissed off and sad right now. Can you imagine I was fired with no clear explanation about it. Then I passed out and was taken to the hospital by the stranger I pumped into during my jugging. But he behaved cold towards me. Can you imagine after telling him what happened to me he just left and didn't offer a word. It's actually his driver who gave me some money to get home"

" Wow that's a whole adventure. But you shouldn't just say he is cold. Maybe he cared and maybe he was the one who ordered his driver to give you the money "

" No he is not the one I saw everything. I don't like Henry since the first day I saw him. He is so mean and cold. "

"Oh wow you know his name. That's cute"

Lily gives jenny a look and continue eating her food not replying to what she said.

Back to Henry , he arrives the office and holds the meeting. After the meeting he ask Jeff to get informations on Lily and get to him.

Jeff comes later to the office at 12noon and gives the information about Lily.

"Boss this is the information I got on Lily "

" Ok let me have a look. Hmm secretary good. Her records are good but the mystery of her being fired isn't clear. Anyways send a letter of acceptance. Tell her she has a job and should start tomorrow . And do not tell her I'm the one who gave her the job".

" Okay sir."

Jeff does as Henry said. Lily thinks it's the driver's good heart to get her a job and is so happy to start work so she can meet him and thank him.
