1 The Lady On Brown Agapito Milano Leather Sandals.

"Doctor Lucas, how did Christopher do today?" Carol asked smiling at Lucas immediately she barged into his office. They had become friends within the interval of a week. Lucas smiled back at her as he gestured her to take a seat.

"Your brother is quite a fighter, he is doing great daily."

"Thank God!" She exclaimed happily patting her chest with her right hand. She closed her eyes in relief and opened it again almost immediately.

"I hope you still remember the gentleman who donated blood for your brother seeing as yours didn't match?" Lucas asked taking off his glasses.

"Of course. Why would I ever forget? Just that I didn't get to see him that day up until now."

"He's my friend I told you about, Jhon is his name."

"Owh!"

"Yeah! He'd be coming in today. Just wanted to let you know."

"Thanks for letting me know. I'd love to see him." Caroline smiled. She really wanted to see the man who was so benevolent to must have donated his blood to a stranger and for free. She believed until this day that nothing was for free and the good people were no more.

"Can I see him now?" She asked referring to Christopher, her younger brother.

"Sure." Lucas smiled and watched at her retracting figure. To him, she seems like a good person and a nice lady.

Caroline was beaming with smiles after speaking with Lucas, she was having a bad day ever since her boss refused to give her a week leave to spend sometime with Christopher at the hospital. She brought up the bag of food and fruits to the level of her face, she peaked into the bag as she kept walking.

BUMP! She had bumped into someone, luckily the person held on to her bag so it doesn't fall.

"I'm sorry." She apologized immediately and looked up to see the face of the tall figure she bumped into.

"It's ok.. it's partly my fault." The Man she bumped into said handing her bag fully over to her. He was a regular white rich looking guy wore pretty lens. His dot black eyes were the only features that made him look different.

"Yeah! I was just over excited, I didn't want anything to go wrong." Caroline said smiling at the man who also curtly smiled at her. In front of the man, she began checking the stuffs in the bag of they were all intact. His phone began ringing and him taking the call meant parting with Caroline, it was a private call.

"Hey, Jhon..." He answered the call walking away from Caroline and to wherever he was going to. Caroline turned back immediately she heard the name 'Jhon' but sadly, the white man she bumped into was quite a distance away from her.

"Caroline.. let's hurry. Chris is definitely waiting for you." She said to herself and resumed walking to Christopher's ward, this time with a faster pace.

Amidst two white men, a dark man can be seen talking about a picture to the white men beside him.

"And that's just how it would be." The dark man said taking a sip from the cup of coffee on the table they balanced himself on.

"It's a great idea." One of the white men said nodding his head.

"What do you think, Henry?" The black man asked the other white man.

"Yeah.. it's ok." Henry answered shrugging his shoulders.

"Speaking of, what took you so long Henry?" The first white man asked Henry who rolled his eyes in response.

"Come on, Lucas. It's just that, I bumped into a lady...."

"Ohhhh!!!!" Both the dark man and Lucas, the other white man exclaimed as they smiled foolishly at Henry who understood what they meant by their exclamation and expression.

"Think whatsoever you guys want, besides I have no idea of who the lady is." Henry said in his defense while folding his arms on him chest.

"That's unlike you, Henry." Lucas mocked.

"Well, maybe I would have known if Jhon here didn't call me." Henry half yelled causing an uproar of laughter from both his friends.

"Yeah! Jhon, there's a lady that wants to meet you." Lucas said taking off his glasses to show how serious this conversation about the lady would be.

"Really?" Jhon asked putting down his cup of coffee and paying attention to Lucas.

"She's the lady whose brother you donated your blood to."

"Oh! There's no need though but, ok." Jhon said and Lucas mentally noted it.

"Hmm... Are you guys hiding something from me?" Henry asked squinting at both of them who just smiled at each other and kept quiet.

"Sisi, when am I going to leave this place? I want to play with Frida, Sofia, Arnold and Uriah again." Christopher said barely audibly as he laid on the hospital bed and watched as his smiling sister peel the apple.

"Soon, Chris." Caroline replied taking a pause from peeling the apple to rub his head tenderly.

"See why I like Brother Lucas? He always tell the truth." Christopher who was smiling a while ago frowned. He was upset at his sister's response.

Caroline:"...."

"Miss Hathaway?" A nurse barged in looking at Caroline who now stood up from the chair upon hearing her Family name.

"That's me." She replied.

"Doctor Lucas wants to see you at his office." The nurse said.

"Oh!" Caroline glanced from her hands which held an apple and knife then to Christopher who was pouting angrily on the bed and then to the nurse.

"I advise you hurry, Miss Hathaway." The nurse said.

"Ok.. can you please help me watch him?" Caroline asked.

"Sure."

"Thanks." She muttered.. Caroline dropped the apple and knife on the tray of fruits and looked at Christopher who was not evening sparing her a glance and then to the nurse who was now checking Christopher's drip.

"Chris, give me a minute." She said and left the room without waiting for a reply because she would not get one anyway.

On her way to Doctor Lucas's office she remembered that her phone was still in Christopher's ward and she might get a call. Recalling how she missed her boss's call and ended up loosing 2% of her salary, Caroline hurried back to Christopher's ward. Just few steps away from the ward, she sighted that man from earlier who she bumped into. Thinking of avoiding him, she decided to cover her face and rush.

On finally getting her phone, she started walking to Doctor Lucas's office again.

"Hello, Miss.. Miss.." She heard someone call from behind. She had this feeling it was her but waved it off because she didn't want any distraction, she had already wasted lots of time because of her phone.

"The Lady on Brown Agapito Milano Leather sandals." Caroline suddenly heard the person say and she definitely knew she was the one he was calling because that was what she wore on her feet. With so much curiosity and amusement, Caroline turned back to see who called her by her sandals. She was surprised because no one had ever guessed the name of her sandals correctly, No One. It was an olden days sandals that still lived on.

"Here, your phone." The man who called her said stretching forth his hand which held her phone after walking up to her.

"How..???"

Caroline remembered putting this phone in her pocket. It must have fallen. "Thanks." She said taking the phone from his hand.

"Nice shoes by the way. Top quality, Does not fade, Ever new, Suits the pretty legs." The dark skinned man said taking a good look at Caroline's feet. He was not being flirty but Caroline felt shy and as a result curled her toes.

"Emm.. Tha..nks.." Caroline replied darting her eyes around her. She felt like everyone noticed her shyness.

"Ok, bye." The dark skinned hottie said and left without even looking back.

Caroline smiled to herself after the dark skinned man's retracting figure got farther and turned back, heading to Doctors Lucas's office.

"I'm so so sorry I'm late." She said immediately she entered the office.

"Well, well, Caroline Hathaway." Lucas said laughing curtly.

"So, what's up?" Caroline asked.

"Jhon left few minutes ago." Lucas said forming a thin line with his lips. He knew she would not like this news but it wasn't his fault, she came late.

"He was here?" Caroline asked bulging her eyes in shock.

"Yeah! That's why I sent for you, but he had an emergency and left."

"Oh no!" Caroline replied frowning her face. She really wanted to thank him.

"But he dropped something for you." Lucas said out of the blue as he opened his drawer to get something.

"Hmm?"

"Yeah! Here." He gave her a piece of folded paper.
