1 Chapter one

I woke up feeling really good,I knew today would be good,I mean why not, everyday is a party when you have a job you love.

I made my way to my bathroom and did my morning routine.I followed the same routine everyday. I loved knowing what to expect,I really hate surprises. Call me a spoiled sport but I believe that life's better when you don't expect anything.

I put on my work clothes and left my apartment.I knew I could afford better with my salary but I chose not to. If there's something I hate more than surprises,it's definitely overspending. I mean why would you buy a car when you could just take the bus or why would you buy a bigger and more expensive house when you basically live alone, unless you wanted to show off.

I made my way towards the hospital staff entrance and signed my name as I made my way to my office. Once I sat on my chair,I took deep breaths and I started checking files of my patients.I loved seeing my patients' improvements. Being a therapist was like winning a lottery because when I see how far my patients have gone and how better they have become is like a breath of fresh air,it's just so perfect. My thoughts were immediately cut short by a knock on my door. I already knew it was a nurse coming to give me a daily report of the patients I have today." Come in"

" Good morning Dr Willow,we have a problem. A new patient is being transferred to you on short notice,I'm really sorry,I know you dislike surprises but it was really under short notice and I couldn't inform you on time,I'm really sorry please don't be mad."

I could sense that they were under distress,I knew I hated surprises plus I don't get mad easily " it's ok Gus, you've known me for over a year, have you seen me lose my cool or get mad unnecessarily? I completely understand just get me a detailed file and also when am I expecting this patient"

" I know sir,it's just that I know the things you absolutely hate and I just want to do my best so I am as comfortable as. I'll get you the file and for the appointment. It's scheduled for today and the other therapist took immediate leave"

Oh shit,this is not good. I wasn't ready for a new patient,I haven't done any research whatsoever. What if the patient has a really bad problem and I haven't studied enough,deep breaths willow." That's completely fine" I say with a smile"I understand,you don't have to go out of your way just because of me. Just get me a detailed file and I will be fine don't worry.

"Thank you so much sir, I'll go get it"

"It's completely fine" I assure them

It's definitely not fine. I'm losing my mind,I'm definitely going to mess up. I've done no research whatsoever. My new patient, who I found out is Axel Roman, isn't just any person,he is part of the top five richest persons on earth. He built his company from scratch from a very young age and has received so many awards but has a problem controlling his anger. All my life I've believed that God creates humans with imperfections so they wouldn't be seen as gods because tell me why Mr Roman isn't a God. He was seriously so handsome, charming and rich.He is everyone's dream guy,not mine though,no way I'd fall for a patient,I've got ethics….

__________________________________

I seriously hate being rich sometimes because everyone is always on your business. I mean just because I lost my cool once doesn't mean I'm now a live wire. Matter of fact,I'm on my way to therapy. I could just pay a bunch of people off but my public relations says it's going to give me a bad name. I'm pissed,I get it,I lose control sometimes but I don't have time for this. I could be earning billions right now. It's not like I'm unwilling to get therapy. I just don't have time, especially not now. The stock market is not in a good place right now. Every single minute I waste,I lose money but it's fine. What's a few millions?

Willow sat inside of his office, taking deep breaths. He had a bit of anxiety when dealing with VIP patients. Sometimes they felt too important,other times they didn't recognize him as a doctor.

His patient for today is a businessman who has anger issues. According to his files,he has implosive anger and from the small research he did. This kind of anger is sweet,meek and most of the time unnoticeable. It's like the lava boiling within the volcano which eventually with pressure will flow from within, burning anything in its path. He had an outburst in a meeting and hurt some people. According to the file,it didn't even look like he was mad,it just happened.

He wasn't even supposed to have any patients scheduled for today but his colleague had to take leave on short notice. He had no idea what to expect, Mr Roman is a very famous businessman with a networth more than he could make even if he had two jobs. He was already thinking of canceling now but you don't just cancel on someone like Mr Roman

As he pondered his options, Mr Roman suddenly appeared in front of him. "Dr. Willow, I presume?"Roman asked, his deep voice echoing down the hall.

Willow nodded, still struggling to catch his breath. "Y-yes, that's me," he stammered.

To his surprise, Roman smiled warmly. "Don't worry, Willow,I'm just here for my therapy session, I just want to talk."

Willow shrugged, not sure what to make of the situation. "Uhm sure I know, sorry for freezing" he said while offering him a chair.

Inside his office was warm and inviting, with soft carpeting on the floor and cozy couches in the corners. Willow made sure the colors he chose for the paint was warm and calming. Willow directed Damion to the chair across from his, then sank onto the couch himself, trying to maintain his professional demeanor.

I heaved a sigh of relief when the session came to an end. It went exceptionally well in my opinion,it was really easy to talk to Mr Roman,he wasn't arrogant or demanding,I even forgot he was really wealthy at some point. It was really easy for him to open up and talk about his problems. I always thought all rich people were snubs and hated poor people. I mean don't get me wrong,I encountered a lot of rich people and none of them were as nice as Mr Roman.

"Dr Willow,thank you for today,I haven't felt this free in a long time. I hope that you'll be handling my next session?"

"Sure thing Mr Roman,I do apologize if I spoke to you a bit too harshly"

"Please call me Axel,I definitely liked that you didn't try to treat me differently just because of who I am."

"Well I'll see you next Friday Mr Axel"

.........

As I get ready,I couldn't help but think of Axel,he was really wealthy but also super humble and extremely handsome too but I can't have such thoughts about a patient and besides there's no way he's gay, not a fan of gay stereotypes but he literally has a girlfriend and I'm here being a green eyed goblin. I should definitely get some sleep,a lot of emotions today, tomorrow is a good day like everyday.
