Chapter 4.1

Walking into her building Joanna, commanded everyone's attention with Jonathan following closely behind her, and two bodyguards flanking them a few steps behind. Kim quickly walked to her side greeting her and informing her that Mr Gibson was already waiting for her. Every head turned as she walked heading to her elevator, wearing black slacks that emphasized her long legs, and a cream silk blouse. Kim handed her, her reading glasses and a file containing the information she had requested about the hospital. Holding out her hand Kim already knew to place a pen in her hand.

"Call this surgeon she said writing his name down. Make him an offer he can't refuse, I want him to run that hospital. The current chief can remain there, but he will work under this man. I don't want any interruptions once I am finished with Mr Gibson," she said as they entered her elevator.

Informing Jonathan and his hounds to be on high alert as they reached her floor, Mr Gibson was waiting for her in the waiting area and upon seeing the elevator open was on his feet in a flash.

"Miss Powell, good morning."

"It is not a good morning at all Mr Gibson. You see I had to wait for an hour to get attended to at St. Andrews hospital yesterday. I understand you were meant to oversee the operations of that hospital," she said as she opened her office door.

Jonathan entered the office with her whilst the hounds remained outside.

"So how do we fix this problem? It seems you cannot handle the responsibilities I give you," she said looking at the men as she removed her spectacles and took her seat.

"Miss Powell I can handle the job, just give me one more chance."

"One more chance. I don't have time for chances. I want consistency from all my employees, give me 100% and you will enjoy the fruits of your labour. But you have not given 100%, now have you? I am left with only one option but to let you go Mr Gibson."

Looking at the dejected man leaving the room, she was surprised that he did not throw a tantrum at being fired. That's how she knew, he knew he was at fault.

"Come to think of it, I will give you one more chance I am in a good mood this morning, and you have shown me honesty through your actions," she told him making him stop and turn towards her with a flabbergasted expression. "Find out from Kim who you need to talk to about running my hospital. Good morning Mr Gibson."

"Thank you very much for this chance," he said leaving her office.

"You may leave now Jonathan," she said and received a nod of acknowledgement.

A few days later as she was chatting with Natasha her door burst open as her little prince ran into her office, only he could do that.

"Mama!" he shouted running towards her as she scooped him up into her arms kissing him all over his face.

"Stop it mama," Ethan giggled.

"How is my little prince this afternoon?"

"I am fine thank you mama, I missed you," he said resting his head on her shoulder.

"I apologize Miss Powell but he couldn't stop crying until he saw you. They let the children out early today since they are now on their holidays."

"It's alright Susan you can head on home I will take care of him."

After settling Ethan down with his play things she went back to her conversation with Tash. A few minutes later she got a phone call from Kim.
