White skin, blonde hair, oval shaped face, plump red lips, slim and tall with an attractive figure,
Stella stood close to the mirror with a hair brush on right hand,
“Do you really have to go?” The man who was naked on the bed questioned in a grumpy manner. He had a duvet around his body to cover up his nakedness while still on the bed,
“I’m sorry baby. I really can’t believe we had so much to drink last night and I missed Olivia’s call. I really hope she’s not going to be mad at me.”
“I could send my personal assistant to go get her while you stay here with me baby.”
Once the hair bun was sitting perfect on her long hair, Stella turned around to face her boyfriend,
“Dave, we talked about this. I told you my cousin was going to be here. She’s new to Australia and so I would have to show her around, which means, we’ll be spending more time apart.”
Once again, he groaned out loud,
“So you’re going to be leaving me?”
“No baby.” She leaned close to the bed and pecked his lips,
“It’s just going to be for a few weeks until she settles in really well. Maybe I could introduce her to one or two guys here, she’s officially single now.”
Before Dave could respond, his phone began to ring close to the bed,
“It’s Bryan calling. Apparently I’m supposed to meet him today and I’m already late.”
“That’s good then. Someone to keep you company, I’ve got to go now okay.” Stella uttered and picked up her small handbag from the table. She pecked him goodbye and began to walk out of the room, but as Stella got to the exit, he called her attention again,
“It’s Bryan’s special day today. He’s working a late night shift at the hospital, but I’ll try to pull him out. If you could bring your cousin, then it would be really cool because I would get to see you again.”
“I’ll see what I can do, Dave. I love you.” Stella responded and stepped out of the room afterward. She boarded a cab and began heading towards the hotel Olivia had texted her and an hour later, the cab halted,
“Come out, Olivia, I’m waiting downstairs.” Stella said and when the call ended, she took a deep breath in,
Since Olivia was now divorced, she had to make her forget about that punk of an ex husband. Stella really didn’t know much about Olivia, but as a young girl, she had always heard her mother talk about her sister’s only daughter, and this was the first time they would see each other.
Unlike Olivia’s mother, her own mother decided to jump around with one man or the other when her husband couldn’t stay faithful, thereby leaving Stella to grow up with a few steps father’s until she turned 20 and found her own apartment,
Life hadn’t been easy, but with Dave, it had become a bed of roses as she was certain he would get married to her soon even though he was yet to get engaged to her. She didn’t want to admit it to him, but she was well aware he was only holding back because of his family.
“Hey.” A voice snapped Stella out of her trance, and she fluttered her brows as her gaze met with that of Olivia who was walking towards her,

When Olivia got to her spot, she spread her arms apart and hugged Stella tight,

“Thank you so much for coming, Stella.” Olivia muttered with Stella still wrapped around her body so tightly and after the ladies were done hugging, they began to head home

“You know what, I think I know what’s going to make you feel better. I need you to go somehow with me tonight, maybe you could find a soul mate or two.” Stella uttered from the kitchen,
She stepped out with two glasses of red wine and handed one over to Olivia who was seated on a couch,
“I can’t, I’m sorry, Stella. I have something really important I want to pursue, and I’m serious about it.”
Stella arched her brows and sat down next to Olivia and after taking a sip from the wine, she responded,
“What’s that?‘
“I need a job.”
Olivia’s words made Stella chuckle a bit as she dropped the glass on the table close to them,
“Well I could help with that. My boyfriend/ my boss is the manager of a renowned company in Australia and…”
“Not that Stella, I need a job in a hospital. I don’t mind starting all over again as an intern, but I just want to become a doctor again. I let go of everything I ever loved because of my ex–husband, and now I want them back.”
Tears had begun to settle at the base of Olivia’s eyes as she spoke, and afterwards, her voice became shaky. Becoming a world famous surgeon had always been Olivia’s dream, but most importantly, it was what her mother wanted before she died, and because of Ethan, she gave up on her dreams completely to focus on her marriage.
After a minute of silence, Stella gently rubbed Olivia’s hand as she stared at her,
A doctor, huh?” She questioned and Olivia nodded her head immediately,
“I have what it takes, Stella, believe me. I would definitely not disappoint you.” She responded with a desperate tone as the look in Stella’s eyes made Olivia believe that maybe there was hope or maybe there was something Stella could do to help her out because after all she was just new here and knew no one,
“I can help.” Stella started and this was a glimpse of hope,
“But that means tonight, you’ll have to be coming with me, Olivia. If you want to get your one way ticket to getting a job at the best hospital here in Australia, then you’d have to meet him. You’ll be meeting Bryan Millers, world famous surgeon.”
