Chapter 19 - 19. Another Problem
"The patient is out of danger now. He has lost a lot of blood. Other than that, his wrist has a hairline fracture and he may have difficulty in walking for another week. He should remain bedridden for this week. After that we will give him another checkup and if everything seems normal, he can be discharged within twenty days" The doctor announced politely knowing who was standing in front of them.
"Doctor when will he wake up?" Kizy asked.
"Most probably by midnight. But it may take until tomorrow as his body is too weak right now" Doctor replied. Kizy nodded and didn\'t say anything more.
"If there is anything you want, just let me know" With that the doctor went away.
Both Kizy and Markus went towards Jack\'s room..
"What is his name?" Kizy asked while watching the man laying on the bed.
"He is Jack." Markus replied after thinking for sometime.
"What about the other one?" Kizy asked.
"He is Alex" Markus was now sure that Kizy had known about his two men following her for a long time.
"Ok. Then have you arranged a caretaker for him?" Kizy asked while looking at Markus.
"For god\'s sake he is my man!!! If not for me, who is going to care about him? Stop behaving as if only you are worried for him" Markus snapped.
"Fine. But i want to wait here till he wakes up" Kizy said.
"Are you deaf? The doctor said that he will wake up near midnight. Do you plan to spend the night here?" Markus asked while rasing his brows.
"Can we wait?" Kizy tried pleading him, as she knew that he must be angry with her suggestion.
"We are going back home. I don\'t want excuses now-" Suddenly Joel entered the room.
"Boss this was purely an accident. The car belongs to a spoiled kid from the Shen family. He and his friends were drunk at the time of accident. In fact i checked the entire footage. They left the bar almost ten minutes before accident and stopped at a nearby shop to purchase some cigarettes before driving at full speed on the road. Also our plan to stop at this mall was confidential and even our timing were not decided. So this can not be planned" Joel finished in one breath.
"Make sure that the Shen family along with other families of those friends regrets producing and upbringing these spoiled kids for there entire lives" Markus replied coldly.
Joel didn\'t needed any more instructions. He nodded and left for completing his task. Kizy was still debating whether he should try convincing Markus or just leave with him. At the end of day, Jack was her benefactor. He had saved her life and she at least wanted to do something for him.
But suddenly the multitalented secretary, who had just left returned back while covered in sweat.
"Boss we have a problem" Joel said in an urgent tone.
"What is it now?" Markus was already annoyed beyond words by Kizy and wasn\'t in the mood to deal with another shit.
"Boss the video where you carried young miss to the car was captured by the onlookers. And right now you both are hottest topic online" Joel said while crying inside his mind.
"Are you new to this? It is long known that my pictures can never be published, let alone a video. We had already warned everyone. So why is this happening now?" Markus asked while running his hand through his hairs.
"Boss normally we have bancrupted the companies that tried publishing anything related to you. But this time, a lot of people were watching and shooting you. Some even had the guts to go live and show what was happening. And they published it on social media. On top of this, most of them are commoners. If we are to suddenly sue them, the public would rebel" Joel said while wiping away his sweat.
"Fine i can not go against the citizens but why am i paying you all. To watch how our faces are revealed all over? What was the company and PR doing all this time?" Markus shouted.
"Boss initially the company didn\'t knew about it as the situation itself was an accident. By the time they started removing evidences, many people had already seen and saved it. They tried contacting me, but investigating this accident was my prime task, thus i ignored there calls. Sorry for my negligence boss. You can punish me however you want" Joel said while lowering his head.
"I will see that the company knows how to handle situation next time onwards. For now increase the security around us. Many already know that i am already at this hospital. I don\'t want any more accidents now. As for your punishment, go write an apology with no less than two thousand words. I want it on my desk by tomorrow morning" Markus said composing himself.
"Yes boss. I will go-" Joel was speaking when Kizy spoke up.
"Are you seriously retarted? Can\'t you see he was following your order. If i am not wrong, it must be you who ordered him to investigate the accident. Now that you are in trouble, you blame him. He won\'t be writing any apology" Kizy declared.
"Ladyboss don\'t make it difficult for me. I will write-"
"I said you won\'t write an apology. Is that clear" She was still glaring at Markus.
"You think that i am listening to you. I am yet to get back at you for your stupidity which resulted in this accident. If not for you, do you think all this damned things would be happening? And now you have the audacity to defy my order" Markus was frustrated by now.
"Look Markus i apologize for my mistake back then. I know i have caused a lot of trouble today. But right now what you are doing is called bullying. Joel was busy performing the task you gave. Why do you have to punish him. He can see how the situation turned out because he ignored the phone calls. This situation is enough to teach him a lesson. So don\'t punish him this time. Afterall i was in the wrong because of which all this happened" Kizy said.
Markus was furious till the end but something changed when Kizy spoke her last sentence.
"Indeed you were the one who created trouble, thus you should also be the one to recieve punishment right? Thank you letting me view this matter clearly honey. Joel your punishment is cancelled. Keep an eye on Jack. We will be heading back home now." Markus declared and walked out of the room.
Kizy just looked at Joel and Jack one last time before quickly catching up with Markus and entered his car.
"Be ready for your punishment love" Markus suddenly whispered in her ear with that devilish smirk pasted on his face.
