Mia's POV

I opened the door adjusting my dress only to find Nathan standing there. He was wearing a typical black tux that fit his body perfectly. And now I'm hot. Perfect.

He smirked knowingly and checked me out in the most subtle way possible.

"What are you doing?" I questioned harshly.

"Making sure you don't chicken out," he said in a deep crisp voice.

I scoffed closing the door on him. What! I'm not fully ready yet. I need shoes.

As I slipped in my heels, the phone rang. It was Mia.... I mean Charolette.

"Yes?" I said holding the phone to the ear while adjusting my heels.

"I'm kind of lost. Where's Gynaecology department?" She sounded desperate.

"Third floor honey," I said opening the door and grabbing my purse. I didn't wait for him to follow me as I locked the front door and went to the elevator.

"Mia, I'm really scared. Do I have to go?"

"Don't say it like that, you have my career on the line here. Just hope there is no emergency tonight and even if it's there, call me ASAP. Do you get it? Don't try anything yourself. Call Nick if it gets worse. But I will be there."

"Okay?"

"You're making me really nervous. Just please call me. It's just for tonight. You have to be there after the suspension. Just take a leave tomorrow. They'll give it happily. Just don't mess up tonight. And tell me everything and don't try to be smart," I said warning her. It was my lifetime's hard work on line. I was dying inside.

"We'll find a way after today's shit, kay Mia?"

"Hmm,"

"Don't worry, I won't mess up your career," she tried to reassure me and hung up.

Nathan looked at me with a questioning look which I ignored and glued my eyes to the screen showing the floors as we rode down the elevator.

"That's Amelia Benson, she was a fashion designer till she married Scott  Benson and became a major philanthropist. She donated 3 million to this charity project." I whispered in Nathan's ear as a middle-aged woman approached him. The party was boring because of the fact that I was dragged along and had to work. I had not time to enjoy myself.

And if that wasn't enough, my phone ringed and it was Mia.... Charolette... I mean.

"Hello?" I barely said when I heard her panicking voice. Damn, an emergency.

"McAdams, three o'clock. Who's that?"

"Jeff Gregor, Archer. Five million," I said hurriedly as I heard Charolette's moping.

"I can't, I can't handle it. She just burst on me. Her water just burst on me. Eww... I can't take it."

"Honey, just stay there. It's okay. I'm right here. I promise you'll be fine. Just tell me how far has she dilated. 4 cm? 5,6,7? Just give me a number." I said. My hands were getting clammy.

"I can't look, it's horrible," she half cried.

"Stop being a crybaby and look," my nerves were kicking in.

"McAdams? Who's that?"

"That....umm," my mind was blank.

"Think hard."

"No means no I am outta here,"

"SHUT UP!" I screamed and the whole room looked at me.

"You better tell me how much her cervix is dilated," I said on the phone and she mumbled an okay.

I could hear someone coughing, presumably choking on their champagne. But I couldn't care less. I exited the hall still glued to my phone.

I waited as I heard shuffling on the other side. A hand grabbed me. I turned around to see Nathan who was fuming, to put it mildly. He pinned me to the lamp post, boring holes, and seethed, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" And snatched my phone.

"I promise I'll explain it. But please give me my phone back," I said sternly to trying to reach out. He groaned in frustration and threw the phone on the road and a car ran over it. Frustrated and helpless tears welled up in my eyes as I saw that helpless patient, Charolette and my career falling. I had worked so hard for this. It can't just end like this. I started skimming my hands on him, trying to find his phone.

He shook me hard with iron grip on my shoulders as I let out a small cry. "Where is your phone? Give me your fucking phone," I screamed at him.

"What is fuck, McAdams? Have you lost it!?" He shouted back and started pulling me back to the party.

I jerked off his grip and held him by collar. "Give me your fucking phone Moore, or you'll regret it," angry tears streamed down my face. He was a bit shaken up but he quietly handed me the phone.

I quickly dialed my number and was relieved to hear panicking Charlotte. At least now I knew what was going on.

I went on the other side of the road and peacefully gave the instructions to the nurse and intern in charge. Charolette had given up. I couldn't honestly expect her to deliver a baby. That was stupid on my part. But I knew I had a hell of explanation to give after this stunt.

After I heard the baby cry, I literally cried too. I'd never forget that nurse and intern who saved my career. I was beyond tired even though I still had to be available till six in the morning. It was past midnight now and the party had died out. Everyone was bidding their farewells, gossiping about me and laughing at Nathan for not keeping his secretary in line. I felt bad for him but I seriously can't be a secretary and that's the truth.

I sighed going back inside to find Nathan talking to someone probably about business. I quietly stood behind him as he finished.

I handed him his phone back muttering a thank you. He handed me a new phone saying he got Ms. Clark to buy one on short notice.

The car ride was dead silent. Both of us didn't know what to say. I felt myself drifting off to slumber. The car filled with his scent was indeed peaceful.
