Waking up to the bright lights of a hospital lamp blinding the eyes is not the kind of gift one hopes on a birthday. Having a heart attack is also not an unwarranted present but that is what Mr. Hutchison received on his 60th birthday.
The wily old man with a sharp tongue, the 15th richest man in the country is an active sportsman and a notorious womanizer. He made a fortune in insurance and also manages a chain of luxurious private hospitals throughout the country. It is in one of this hospitalâs private suites that he now rests after collapsing at a golf course earlier in the day.
He hates being in the hospital; even the spectacular view of the sunset fails to arouse his luck of just being alive. An active mind in an old body, he picks up his mobile to call his personal assistant.
âHenry! I am stuck here in this damm hospital and I am bored! I hate being bored Henry. You know what to do. And Henry? Make sure no stupid nurses come in to interrupt my activities. Yes, I havenât forgotten what happened last time.â
Mr. Hutchison puts his phone down, a smile forming on his tanned leathery skin. He always feels so alive after surviving a heart attack and not to mention extremely horny.

Tanya had arrived for her night shift at the Mercy Private Hospital like any other night for the past three months. With her fiancé just laid off, she has to work extra hard to ensure they have rent for their miserable apartment until her fiancé can find employment. Being a hardworking person, she quickly found a job waiting tables in the morning and then being a night nurse at the local private hospital that pays very well.
People always expected Tanya to achieve something big in life but after meeting her fiancĂ©, Andrew things have not been going well for her. The last few weeks have been trying: having constant fights with Andrew about their financial problems are slowly driving them apart and she is bitter that he doesnât pay attention to her nowadays, preferring to waste his time with beers and self pity as he stares at the TV the whole day.
The money she gets from waiting on tables is barely enough to cover their monthly food and provisions but the more considerable wages that she earns from the hospital is crucial to covering their rent and even sending some money home to her parents.
It was always easy for her to work with people, especially men. Her wavy black-brown hair was seldom tied, preferring to let it fall behind her shoulders and sometimes resting on her chest. A petite frame of just 5â6 and having averaged sized breasts from her Hispanic parentage, Tanya can boast of her light brown unblemished skin and curvy proportions that enhances her long legs. Large eyes and thick pouty lips that easily break into a smile are parts of her arsenal against men that she hardly realizes she is using.
âHello Gloria!â she greets the matron of the night watch. A veteran of the hospital, Gloria is a large lady with an attitude to match. Tanya had realized early on to get on her good side.
The matron looks at her watch and then to the clock before giving Tanya an icy glare.
âYou have a watch donât you? Do you think you can use it sometime? This has been the sixth time this month you been coming in almost an hour late. Keep this up, and I assure you this will be your final month here.â
Tanya cringes at the rebuke. âI am sorry Gloria, itâs just thatâŠâ
âSave it Ms.Tanya, another incident like this and I have to write up a report against you. Donât let me hear that I didnât warn you.â
Tanya looks down, her long eyelashes fluttering in shame.
âDonât you dare cry on me now missy. Here, take this. Itâs tonightâs list of medication I need you to dispense. Oh, and Mr. Hutchison is the hospital today, so stay clear of the 17th floor. No nurses allowed on that level.â
âMr. Hutchison, the owner?â
âYes, donât go acting dumb. Heâs not pleased with the performance of the hospital. Probably got a heart attack just to see how we respond. Heâs just been given his medication and strictly said no visitors for that entire floor.â
âYes Gloria.â
Tanya has always wondered about that man; how his wealth seems almost unbelievable to her own meager upbringing. She takes the lift to the 16th floor, pushing a cart containing the patients evening pills and medication. She adjusts the hem of her white uniform before entering the rooms, not for the first time thinking why did the designers made it very short.
The white uniform sports an oversized collar and has buttons running at the front of the dress. Already made of material that easily stretches and conforms to the body, the uniform does enhance her cleavage, allowing a view of the top of her firm breasts pressed together. The short uniform also requires constant tugging and conscious effort to be made while seating as the hem ends almost 5 inches from the top of the knees when standing.
The patients at the 16th floor are normally recovering form heart attacks and strokes, but some of them still find it in their hands to take a swipe of her buttocks whenever the chance presents itself. Tanya had even attracted the attention of some of the doctors but she has carefully avoided their approaches. Her shy nature causes her to blush with embarrassment whenever that happens, thinking itâs her fault that she unnecessarily led them on.
Rubbing her buttocks after smarting a rather hard slap from Mr. Patterson, the seventy-year-old man brought in a few days earlier with two minor heart attacks, Tanya pushes her cart to the end of the hallway having finished her duties.
Checking her list, she notices that it contains an item of medication for Mr. Hutchison. She thinks itâs a mistake but the computer print out is hardly wrong, and there is a cup with pills marked for the dreaded hospital owner.
She looks back to the hallway, the internal hospital phone shining bright red at the distance. She resolves to take some initiative and enters the utility lift, bringing her up to the restricted 17th floor.
The silence that greets her in unnerving. The entire floor is devoid of patients except for one and Tanya thinks that coming up here was not a very bright idea. She pushes the cart to the middle of the corridor, just in front of a large wooden door. The occasional squeaking of the cartwheels announcing her presence.
Gingerly pushing the door open, she is relieved to see Mr. Hutchison sleeping on the bed. A tube running to his left arm dripping glucose to his old veins while another tube brings rich oxygenated air to his nose. He seems unremarkable to her, having a slight build of probably her height, thin limbs with heavily tanned skin and drooping muscles and an ample stomach. A pair of light blue hospital pants covers his legs, and his unbuttoned shirt exposing his hairy white chest, moving up and down in tune with the respirator machine humming.
Tanya has heard many stories about this man and his meteoritic rise to wealth. Blessed with an ingenious mind, unrelenting greed and sheer wickedness has made him a powerful figure in the world of business. Tanya shakes her head. Wealth, no matter how it is built does attract followers; Mr. Hutchisonâs empire is proof of that.
Tanya pushes the cart nearer to the frail man, hoping she doesnât wake him up. He looks peaceful as he sleeps. Tanya leaves the cart and walks to Mr. Hutchisonâs right, checking the medicine and his charts. She needs to wake him up to give him the medicine and has the cup of pills in her hand, she leans forward and her starched nurse cap, hits the glucose bag causing the stand to creak.
Mr. Hutchison jerks awake causing Tanya to straighten up in shock and stepping backwards. Her hips accidentally depress a button on the respiratory machine causing it to shut down momentarily. Mr. Hutchison turns to look at her, his bloodshot eyes opened wide with fear and anger. Tanya fumbles with the machine causing it to restart without sounding the alarm. She sighs with relief as the fresh air causes Mr. Hutchison to breathe normally, his body slumping back to the bed.
Yet his eyes are flashing with anger.
âYou stupid bitch!â he manages to croak
âAlready you come late, and now you are trying to kill me?â Hutchison screams in the room, his authoritative voice booming.
Tanya is shocked by the sudden realization that she might have accidentally caused his death and is even more surprised that he knows about her being late to work.
âNo sir, it was an accidentâŠI didnât mean toâŠI just brought you medicineâ
âAccident? When I am thru with you, you wont be able to find any work in this fine city. That I can promise youâ his eyes glaring
âPlease sir, it was an accident. Please donât fire me, I need this jobâ
âDamm right you do. Whereâs my phone? I need to call Henry and make sure you are back on the streets!â
Spotting the hand phone on the floor beside the bed, Tanya bends down to quickly pick up the phone to hand to Mr. Hutchison, whose old eyes are now focused on her cleavage after being given a quick yet splendid view.
âPlease sir, it wonât happen again. I wont be late and this was just an accident. I was at another job.â Tanya begins to plead.
âSilence. I donât want to hear about your other jobs. I pay good money to have you do a simple job for me. And what do I get? You reward me by trying to kill me.â
âPlease sir, I will do anything, please donât fire meâ
The old man runs his eyes all over the Hispanic beauty. As usual, Henry has picked a looker for his boss.
âThatâs the spirit. So are you sure no one is coming to this level?â
âYes sir, Matron Gloriaâs had strict instructionsâ
âAlright. You may begin.â nudging his eyes towards Tanyaâs chest. âWell come on, I donât have all dayâ he chuckles.
Tanya covers her top, her large eyes widen in shock. What is this man asking of her?
