Chapter 57 Consider ME As A Family
The policemen freeze on the spot and everyone who was present in the hall turned immediately in surprise to Broderick. He stood up majestically and said,” My personal assistant earns more than you all can ever imagine. Whatever amount is being paid here is just a measly amount of money compared to her salary at Alessandro’s corporation. Being greedy won’t make her do this sort of job, that I’m sure of. Mr. Jacob, you should investigate how a tasteless drink appeared.”
Amy never expected that Broderick will speak for her. The hall remained as quiet as graveyard and no one dared to challenge Broderick Whoever dares to knows they are only seeking for death on them and their family.
Broderick Alessandro speaks for anyone, that person would be respected and treasured by everyone. Considering the rumours of how Broderick Alessandro had become cold to women over the years, many wondered how he would even employ a woman to become his personal assistant talkless of standing for her publicly. *Thank you, Mr. Broderick for trusting me,” Amy said gratefully to Broderick then turned to Carlton with a sad look, she turned from him and walked out of the hall without saying a word. Carlton felt so ashamed for what just happened. Broderick stood up for Amy! How is that possible? So he had even made her his personal assistant already. Was he taking interest in her already? Carlton wondered. Edith felt very angry but scared at the same time. She had purposely set Amy up so that both her father and Broderick can misunderstand her. She thought that Broderick already hated her and that after this set up, he would hate her even more but unexpectedly, he stood up for her.
Amy was preparing for work today despite feeling sick. She felt sick yesterday as soon as she left the hotel. Thinking that her father lured her to a public event in the name of honouring him only to intentionally want to disgrace her hurts her to the gut. Her bones and marrow felt the excruciating pain that she felt sick at once.
When she arrived at work, she walked weakly inside the office and absolutely ignored Theresa who was seated at the secretary’s office. Once she sat on her desk, she laid her head on the table, feeling very devastated. She had not even switched on the computer before her, her heart was just so heavy that she doubt if she could do a thing.
Broderick entered his office an hour later cause he branched somewhere, he turned towards Amy and saw her placing her head
on the table.
During working hours? How could this woman be so lazy! He thought and strode towards her nobly, however, he heard her
mumbling some words.
He listened carefully but couldn’t make out a meaning out of those words, he tapped her table but she didn’t respond, as soon as
be placed his hand in hers, she raised her head up at once and quickly placed her hand on her heart. She looked scared. Her face
was inered with tears and sweats.
There was air conditioner in the room yet this woman was sweating, Broderick thought and also wondered why she looked scared.
Most importantly, why was her face filled with tears. He wondered if Theresa hurts her.
Amy checked her wrist watch and saw that she had been sleeping for the past one hour,” I’m so sorry…so sorry!” she immediately apologized. She was scared that Broderick will be angry with her.
“Since when have you been sleeping?” he asked with a straight and stern gaze.
*I’m so sorry, sir…” she even stood to show how sorry she was,” ever since I came here,”she answered his question.
So you are just waking?”
“Yes. I’m not like that L
Please forgive me for today. I promise it will not repeat itself again.”
She was sleeping yet had tears and sweats all over her. How is that possible?
When Amy saw that he was staring at her, it dawned on her that her face was wet, she quickly brought out her handkerchief and
cleaned her face with it.
She was now looking at him hoping he spares her for today. She wondered if he was going to fire her,
“Why were you crying?” Broderick asked gently. “Erm… it’s a nightmare, sir. But I’ll be fine,” Amy said.

“Doesn’t look like a night mare, looks more like someone hurt you bad in the dream. You cried in the dream and it reflected in real life,” Broderick said. It happened to him during the period that he found out his late “Yes…yes…I didn’t know I was crying in reality too,” Amy felt exhausted all of a sudden and very dizzy, she wanted to say a few more words but her strength failed her so she fell, before she could land on the floor, he protected her with his hand and looked *at her small eyes that were now closed.
The temperature of her body was hot and he knew for sure that she was sick, he carried her in a bridal style and opened a room attached to his office. It was a resting room, where he do rest whenever he overworked himself. The resting room was not large but was beautiful with beds inside. He placed her on the bed gently and placed a call across to the head of the medical department. “Come to my office, a worker is sick,” he commanded and hung up without even waiting for the person on the other end to
respond
He stood beside her and a few minutes later, he heard a knock on the door. He walked outside of the restroom and commanded, “come in.”
The doctor walked in with a stethoscope hung around his neck and some medical equipment in his hand, the doctor greeted Boderock politely and he led the doctor to the rest room where Amy was. The doctor walked towards Amy and immediately tested her, he looked up at him and said,” she has a very high temperature and has little to no strength. Her blood pressure is also very high, she must have been thinking too much.” Even when he was tough on her, she did not fall sick. What could she be thinking about that could make her fall sick? A knock could be heard on the restroom and Broderick frowned in anger wondering who stepped inside his office and even had the gut to knock on his restroom. He walked to the door and opened it only to see Theresa. “Mr. Broderick, I saw the doctor rushed in so I had a guess that something could be wrong. Is anything the matter?” Theresa asked.
Broderick was angry but he didn’t want to be rude to her because of the nature of their relationship plus the doctor and everyone in the building knows that Theresa was his wife. Should he speak with her in anger, the doctor may go ahead and spread out rumours to others about what he had seen. “Amy is sick,” he responded calmly. “Oh my days!” she quickly rushed inside as though she was concerned and walked to the side of Amy’s bed, she examined her face and looked at Broderick,” oh my days! her face look very pale.”
Theresa then turned to the doctor with a pityful face, “Please treat her well and ensure she is fine. Please. She must be fine.”
“I’m doing my best, ma,” the doctor responded to her while Broderick watched her with a straight gaze.
Was it not few days ago that she exchanged angry words with Amy in his room and now was acting like she cared for her. Did she really care for her? “Mr Broderick, please return to work, I’ll keep her company,” Theresa said.
Broderick nodded and walked out of the restroom, Theresa’s face immediately turned into an evil one, “bitch, you deserve to even die.” she mumbled, the doctor was too concentrated on treating Amy that he could not even make a meaning out of her mumble. She wished that the doctor can inject her to death. But she didn’t know how loyal this doctor was to Broderick, otherwise, she would have given him a mouthwatering offer to kill her, This sounds like the perfect opportunity to kill her. She would have called her mother to ask for suggestion but the doctor would overhear their conversation.
“What exactly is wrong with her?” she asked the doctor.
“She has a high blood pressure, it will take her some time to recover.” the doctor answered. This time, he was done administering all necessary injections to her.
“I’ll need to take my leave now, Mrs. Theresa,” the doctor said and wanted to walk on
“Hold on, doctor.” The doctor turned to her and gave her a look that asked why she told him to hold on.
She looked around the restroom to be sure there was no CCTV camera present there, “I need you to do something for me and we have to keep it a secrete, i’ll pay you ten thousand dollar for it.”
“Ten thousand dollar? Oh! what’s that?” the doctor asked.
Theresa looked at Amy who was still lying on the bed unconsciously,” I need you to give her an injection that will kill her.”
The doctor furrowed his brow in shock, fear gripped his heart and he took steps back as if scared of Theresa.
“Where are you going?” Theresa stood still and asked. “Death? You are asking me to kill an innocent woman? Oh my! Mrs. Theresa, I didn’t know that you were such a vile woman,” the doctor said. “Isn’t ten thousand dollar enough? I can pay more, just state your offer,” she said. “The fuck? I can’t do such. I’m a doctor and my job is to safe life not kill,” the doctor said. *Then I’ll come for you and your family. Did you know I’m Mr. Broderick’s wife and you don’t even want to imagine how much harm I can cause to you and your family,” Theresa said. “I’ll rather let you kill me and my family than for me to kill an innocent woman, I’ll tell this to Mr. Broderick,” he said and wanted to walk out but Theresa rushed to him and hit him on the neck with the pin she packed her head with. The doctor shouted in pain and fell to the floor as blood kept drooling from a side of his neck. Broderick heard the sound from his office and stood, then walked towards the door to the restroom. He didn’t expect that there will be any chaos but when he opened the door and saw the doctor bleeding on the floor, his face changed and he asked Theresa, “what happened to him? why is he bleeding?” “After he was done treating Amy, he said he finds me attractive and wanted to start touching me, I pushed him away and wanted to run out but he dragged me back, I had to bring out the pin 1 packed my hair with and hit him with it.” Theresa lied.
Tried to rape a woman in his restroom? The explanation makes no sense. If the doctor was a rapist, he would have heard report of him raping female workers under him since he was the head of the medical department and infact, he had been working at Alessandro’s corporation for the past five years. Broderick said to Theresa,” Leave.” Theresa didn’t know whether he beleived her or not, nonetheless, she walked away quickly.
Broderick called the emergency department team at once and they immediately ran into the restroom and carry the doctor out.
Broderick walked over to Amy and examined her temperature, he realized that her body had calmed and was no longer
excessively hot. He then walked out of the restroom since he had so much work to do.
Amy woke a couple of hours later and found herself in a strange room and on a bed, the last thing she remembered was her
trying to plead earnestly to Broderick to forgive her for sleeping during work hours. She looked towards the door then stood gently, she still feels slightly weak but not as before. She felt a lot better now. She walked towards the door and twisted the knob then it gave way, she was stunned to see Broderick’s office. Oh! Was this the room attached to Broderick’s office? She had always seen a door around the wall of Broderick’s office and she had always wondered what was in there. She had no idea that a bedroom was what was there. Once she stepped inside the office, Broderick raised his head up and saw her. He stood at once and walked towards her, “come here.”
Amy followed him back inside the restroom and he gestured for her to sit on the bed after which she sat. “You don’t have much strength here, just rest a little longer,” Broderick said,
“I think I’m fine now and I can continue with my job,” Amy said,
There is no more work for you today, just rest and when you feel okay, you can go home. You can resume work properly tomorrow,” Broderick said.
Amy knew there was no point arguing with him as he seemed determined not to let her do anymore work for today. “Okay, thank you,” Amy said and adjusted back until her back was resting on the backrest of the bed and her two legs were stretched on the bed. Broderick watched her for a couple of seconds then said, “the doctor said you have been thinking too much, what have you been thinking about?”
“It’s about how my father tried so hard to disgrace me publicly yesterday. I didn’t know that a father can be that cruel to his own * daughter,” Amy said, and thinking about it made her sad again.
Broderick sat on the little space left on the bed and said, “If your father stop being a family, consider me as one.”
