Sydney nodded, “I understand, thank you, doctor.” 

I passed a ‘now what look at Grace and she rolled her eyes. But before she caught my eye, I caught her eyeing the unaware doctor. 

Soon enough, the doctor turned to Grace, “You too,” he pointed the pen he had in his hand toward her and I didn’t think my friend could brush harder than she already was. “You need to take care of yourself while looking after the patient. Look at you, you’re all flushed, you haven’t slept a wink since last night! Look, you’re almost turning into a panda.” 

Grace giggled weirdly and blushed, “I… I understand, thank you, doctor,” I almost slapped my forehead as I listened to her stammer. 

The doctor beamed at her, he briefly turned to me. “I’ll leave you two now, call me if you need anything. okay?” 

I nodded, “We will.” 

Grace breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor left the room and started to fan her face. “Gosh! I can’t believe that man saw me with these dark circles. I must look like a lunatic.” She turned to me, “Do I look like a lunatic?” 

“No. You do not look like a lunatic.” 

She pouted then her gaze suddenly narrowed. “You’re still not going to that meeting.” 

“Come on, Grace. See? The doctor said I’m fine. Why else should I not go?” 

“Because you need to rest,” Grace said matter of factly 

“I’m going to that meeting.” I deadpanned. “I promise you, as soon as the shareholders‘ meeting is over, I’ll come back and rest, okay?” 

Grace looked at me and sighed, her eyes filled with concern, “Fine, If you insist, I’ll drive you there.” 

“No,” I shook my head and she was already glaring at me before I said anything. “I’ll take a taxi.” 

“And why will you do that?” She shot back defiantly. 

I took her hands in mine, “You’ve been up all night, Grace and you worked all day yesterday, you will be too tired to drive. You don’t want to put me either of us in danger by dozing off while driving, do you?” She shook her head and I nodded too. 

Then I clutched her hand tighter. “Now, Promise me that you’ll go home and sleep for a few hours, and after the meeting. I’d call you do that you can come pick, okay?” 

It felt like it took eons before Grace reluctantly nodded agreeing to my terms. 

Grace and I left the hospital after we settled the necessary bills. Thankfully, Grace, ever considerate and smart thinking brought me a dress. It wasn’t very appropriate for a formal meeting but it will do. When we got outside, she ensured that I got the taxi in her presence while she waited in the car. The moment I hailed down a taxi and got in, the two cars zoomed off at the same time and we parted ways
