My Sassy Boss

HIRING

FURTHERMORE, she is sitting in the chair with other women waiting for their turn to have an ultrasound when her name got called. She immediately went in and the doctor's assistant instructed her to remove her pants and underwear which she did without a complaint, and then she lied down.

"Good morning, my name is Dra. Leda, an OB sonologist. Shall we begin?" a female doctor then arrived, and she introduced herself nicely while making herself comfortable in a chair to conduct an transrectal ultrasound. "Sorry but, can you open your thighs more? And, please don't hold it back, or I won't be able to check your uterus," she told.

"Oh, yeah. Sure," Toni answered even though it was uncomfortable for her.

"Is this your first time? You have no boyfriend or husband yet?" randomly questioned by Dra. while she is scanning the patient's uterus.

"No, I don't have. Not interested," Toni briefly responded.

"I see. And that is the reason why the lining of your uterus is thin which means you are close to menopausal," the doctor explained based on what she is seeing on the monitor.

"But, do you think I can still get pregnant?" Toni quickly asked the doctor because she wanted to know if she could handle getting pregnant.

"Yes, you still can. But, I am afraid to say that you have to become extra careful because you are not getting any younger anymore. One mistake and your baby might fall. May I ask what do you do for a living if you don't mind?" the doctor advised.

"I am an entrepreneur, a businesswoman. I make buildings," Toni described her work.

"So, you're an architect. You know, I know a famous female architect and her works are remarkable. Actually, you two are look alike," the doctor told, and she turned her head to look at her face for a second but then, she focused her eyes on the monitor in front of her.

"Really? What's her name?" she asked with a smile on her face because she had a hunch that she was referring to her.

"Her name is Toni Wayman. I adore her a lot but, don't tell anyone that," the doctor said with a chuckle.

"Really? Do you know some place that she designed?" Toni asked more to test the doctor.

"Yes. She designed the twin towers in the center of Manhattan, New York. She also built the largest sports center in Miami, Florida, and too many to mention. I love all of her works, to be honest," said the doctor happily while keeping on scanning the patient.

"I see, you're a fan of hers," Toni happily said just looking at the doctor's reaction while talking about her achievements.

"I am. Do you know her too, Ms. ..." the doctor quickly answered, and she looked at her patient's name on the monitor to address her correctly when she suddenly stopped moving.

Toni grinned seeing the doctor's face when she came to realize that she is actually talking to the famous architect in the city. The doctor then slowly turned her head at her patient and her eyes widened in shock.

"You are the famous architect herself. Oh, my gosh!" the doctor surprisingly mentioned, and her smile reached both of her ears.

"Hi," Toni laughed with the doctor's innocent face. "Please, don't tell anyone what you see in my ultrasound and what I just told you about me having no boyfriend since birth," she begged.

"Of course, I won't. Every patient's condition is a confidential matter," the doctor said kindly, and she smiled at her.

"That's good to know, thank you," Toni smiled too.

Afterward, Toni returned to Dra. Ko's office, and she gave the result of her ultrasound to her.

"What does it say?" Toni asked worriedly because she can't really understand what was in the result even though she has read it.

"It says here that your uterus lining is thin which is the sign of going to the menopausal stage but all in all, it's normal. And it means that you have a 70 percent chance that you can handle the whole pregnancy stage if we are going to implant it in you," good news from Dra. Ko with a smile on her face.

"How about the 30 percent?" Toni asked curiously about the remaining percentage.

"The remaining percent is the chance of falling. You know, the baby won't be strong enough to hold onto your uterus since it's thin," Dra. Ko sadly reported.

"Can I make it thicker? Do you have any medicine that you can give me so, the baby won't fall?" Toni asked desperately.

"I can give you medicine. I will give you a prescription but, you also have to do your part. You can't be stressed out, and depressed especially since you chose to carry your baby. Just a reminder, a baby can feel what you are feeling even when he or she is inside you so, you should be extra careful. But first, I want to know if you have chosen someone to be your sperm donor from the profiles I gave you?" Dra. Ko reminded her.

"Thank you for that reminder. I will take note of that. And speaking of which, I haven't chosen anything yet. Can you give me more lists?" Toni pleaded with haste because she doesn't want to waste any more time since she got to know that her uterus is thin and because anytime, the baby inside of her will fall.

"Sure. But, if you want we can call for hiring. That's much easier so, you can have a lot of options," said Dra. Ko seriously so, both of them will not have a difficulty in finding a sperm donor.

"I agree, but make it private and confidential, and I want to do it with my lawyer. I will speak to my lawyer regarding this matter, and so that the man I will hire to be my sperm donor will not chase me because he might threaten me. We do not know what could happen so, I want to do it with my terms and conditions. The guy must not know who I am and can't see me. And so, he can't ask me for a lot of money. After the successful IVF anyway, I will fly to another country to continue my pregnancy there, and since I am not allowed to have stress and depression," Toni discussed, agreeing with her doctor but on her terms and conditions.

"Have it your way, Toni, as always. I don't see any problem with that," Dra Ko said with a smile and didn't say anything anymore because she knows that Toni knew what she was doing.

The next place Toni visited is her lawyer's office which is a man who is also older than her.

"Uncle Tom, I have something to tell you and I want you NOT to tell my parents about it. Especially my father, your best friend. I am still your client, and I want this thing to be confidential," she seriously said without taking her eyes off of him.

"Uh-huh. And, this is about what?" Attorney Tom asked in a deep voice, and he sat in his swivel chair that his attention diverted to her because of what she said.

"I want to have a legal contract about..." she mentioned, and disclosed what she wanted to do.

ON the other hand, Zion keeps on cleaning the facility of the hospital, and even though he is tired already, he did not give up, and because he get used to it. He also gets to bond with other cleaners, other nurses, departments, and guards since he rounds on every floor. He is making friends everywhere because he is always polite, obedient, and generous even though some people are not nice.

———

DAYS passed by quickly, and Toni arranged the legal contract for the job hiring that she wants to do, however, she still could not choose from the profiles that Dra. Ko gave to her. Until Dra. Ko got Toni's approval to hire someone to be HER sperm donor so, she posted it to the entire hospital and even on the internet. After that post, a lot of men are going inside the hospital to sign themselves up to be a sperm donor since they will be paid a thousand dollars for the initial, and if the IVF becomes successful, they will get an additional 10,000 dollars, that is all written in the contract that they have to sign before donating. Some are not reading the contract anymore and just signed it because all they care about is the money that they will be getting, while some read it to understand fully what's inside of it before digging into it.

With that, Toni received a lot of profiles and she reviews them all while she is working, and at the same time exercising so, she will be physically fit when they find a perfect match.

The clock striked to 7 in the evening, and even while she is eating her dinner, she is still looking at the profiles of a lot of men when all of a sudden she stops drinking milk, and she held the paper tightly to her face.

"He has a B positive blood type. He's physically fit. He's a teacher and has had a straight A record since grade school. It means he's a nerd. Oh, my. I guess he's the guy I'm looking for. Wait, what's his name again? Iniego Yureke. Not bad, a japanese," Toni smiled, and excitingly complimented while staring at the picture of a guy who looks innocent.

.

The very next day, Toni visited Dra. Ko and immediately showed to her the profile she had chosen to be her sperm donor, so, Dra. Ko took a look at it closely.

"I want that guy. He's perfect to be my sperm donor," Toni announced seriously, clearly determined by what she saw.

"Are you sure? Are you sure he is the one? Because if I contact him today, there's no going back anymore. Wait. Before anything else, I want to ask you a question. Are you ready?" Dra. Ko asked for assurance to make sure that she is ready and that she had chosen the right man for her.
