The Hug His Darkness
The Part 22
As long as Quirinus was cared for, Annora always accompanied him there. Not a single bit of the woman came out except to see a doctor to talk about the disease that attacked the patient.
Several times the two men slept in the patient's bed. Annora who usually nudges next to Quirinus while sleeping. However, when he woke up he must have been alone and Quirinus had moved to a special mattress waiting. He is in the VIP room, of course there is a comfortable place to rest for family or colleagues who look after.
Quirinus never disputed or argued every time Annora did so. It was as if he had resigned himself and was getting used to the woman's stubborn side.
Exactly seven days Quirinus was treated. Conditions are starting to improve and it is likely that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you can go home. But the decision is not final because the doctor is still observing the patient's condition.
Quirinus was bored once during one week of silence, no cigarettes or coffee accompanied, only Annora with a row of chatter. Then, now he had to watch the woman who every day got a phone call, out of who, maybe a job.
Annora while feeding Quirinus the fruit, while the left hand holds the phone to be attached to the ear. He was involved in a conversation with his assistant and manager.
Compared to managing the company, Annora prefers to be a model. But, he had been prepared also by the family to still not forget the soul of the business. Sometimes you have to be busy with the office. Fortunately the company he managed is engaged in entertainment, so it is still in line with his will and passion.
“I told you to cancel all my schedules for the month. I'm busy, I can't do photoshoots, anything else abroad. Too far. There is something more important for me to take care of than work,” Annora refused. He again grabbed another fruit when in his hand it was empty.
However, Quirinus immediately grabbed a plate containing various fruits served by the hospital. He saw that Annora seemed to be busy.
Annora did not argue or insist as usual because her focus was also divided by the voice from the phone. So, this time he let Quirinus continue eating by himself.
“You must pay a penalty if you breach the contract, Miss.”
“There are approximately thirty contracts with small to large companies. If totaled, all you have to pay is six million five hundred thousand euros.”
“Six million five hundred thousand? Later I transfer, besides the money they pay I have not touched at all. So, I consider it just a refund.”
“Nona, when do the contract cancellation for no apparent reason, then your credibility will be bad.”
“No matter if my name is no longer famous or considered unprofessional. For now I really can't do job.” Annora ended the call after that.
A pair of beautiful eyes that set Annora's property immediately turned to look at Quirinus who had been listening and watching her. “Sorry, that's my manager.”
“Go away if you're busy. I can take care of myself.” Quirinus said as he placed the empty plate. “I don't want to make you much to lose just to keep someone you just know, I'm not that valuable.”
Annora shook her head at the sign that she would never do what the man asked. He grabbed Quirinus' hand, patted gently on his back. “Listen, canceling all contracts and having a little loss is not a big deal for me.”
“Yes, you are a rich man, money is not a difficult affair,” Quirinus said. Either to insinuate or simply respond without special meaning.
“Not.” Annora stood up to move to sit on the edge of the patient's bed so that her hand could easily be stretched out to touch Quirinus' cheek. “But it was a sacrifice. Love is willing to sacrifice anything, including time and money. Here you need me much more to look after and care for until you recover. While job? Later also come again, just relax.”
