The Controller Emperor

At five in the afternoon, Anna Evans left the LSM Enterprise drive to the apartment where she lived with her best friend.

She parked the car in the garage of the building and entered the elevator. She then opened the door to the apartment.

- Diana?

No one answered his call. She looked at the phone and saw that it was five-thirty, so she sent a message to Diana.

"I got home, when do we go shopping?"

A few moments later, a call from Diana arrived.

- Anna?

- Diana, will you be long?

- Do not know. I believe so. Do you have the money to buy the clothes?

- I have some money, but I do not know if that's enough.

- Go to my room. On the bookshelf, fourth shelf from top to bottom, third book from left to right. Inside this book is three thousand. Take the money and go buy the clothes.

- Diana…

- It's okay, you can pay me later.

- Thanks. Be careful.

- I know. Bye.

- Good bye.

Anna took the money from the book, which was actually a book-like box, stuffed into her purse, and left the apartment. She walked down Z Avenue and went to the nearby shopping mall.

After walking through the mall, Anna came out with several bags and walked quietly down 37th Street, near the junction with Z Avenue, back to Diana's apartment.

As he walked, he saw an elderly lady sitting on the bench in C-Square. Her face was pale and a little gray.

- Mrs? Are you okay?

Anna is a girl who has deep respect and care for the elderly, after all, Mrs Aimer, Diana Aimer's paternal grandmother, treated her as her own granddaughter. She loved Mrs. Aimer more than her own mother.

- Sorry, miss. Can I bother you to call an ambulance? I do not feel well. Please, send me to Dunkelheit hospital. My grandson is a doctor there ... - She whispered before fainting.

Anna called an ambulance and took the lady to the Dunkelheit hospital as she had requested. On the way, inside the ambulance, she held the old lady's hand and her heart was distressed. She remembered Grandma Aimer's Death and felt even more distressed.

She took the lady's purse and looked at the driver's license. Inês Beaufort, seventy-two years old.

She only hoped that the grandson of the lady had the same last name.

Arriving at the hospital, Mrs. Beaufort was sent to the emergency room and Anna went to the front desk.

- Excuse me, I'm Anna Evans, I'm an assistant to director Aimer. - She handed over her identification badge with her credentials as an assistant to a second level executive in the Dunkelheit Conglomerate. - I'm looking for a doctor, probably by the name of Beaufort.

- Oh, you're looking for Dr. Steve Beaufort? - The receptionist checked her badge and gave a great professional smile.

- Probably…? Could you tell me where to find him?

- Certainly. Department of Neurosurgery. Tenth floor. Room 1022. He has no consultation or procedure at this time, it may be that he is not in your room, however, if you go to the nursing room and show your badge, the department's head nurse will call he.

- Thanks.

Anna got into the elevator and went to Dr. Beaufort's office and found an empty room. She walked patiently to the nursing station and talked to the head nurse, showing her badge and telling the situation. The nurse quickly called Dr. Beaufort and asked she to sit in the office.

A few minutes later, a tall man with black hair, broad shoulders and deep black eyes like onyx entered the room.

If Diana were in the room, she would notice the great likeness of the handsome doctor with a certain great demonic emperor.

- How can I help?

Asked the man quietly. And Anna felt that her ears would be pregnant with that wonderfully warm, velvety, charming voice.

- Sorry, Dr. Beaufort, look, my name is Anna Evans. Today I was walking through C-Square and I found a lady sick. She told me that her grandson was a doctor at Dunkelheit Hospital and asked me to get in touch. Is your grandmother by the name of Inês Beaufort?

- What happened to my grandmother? - Asked the man with long, handsome eyebrows.

- She passed out and I sent her to the emergency room. Here's her purse. Do you mind if I stay to know your condition? I would feel more at ease like this.

- Not at all, Mrs. Evans. It is we who should be thankful.

- Please, call me Anna. I am neither married nor old to call myself a lady. Anna smiled uncomfortably.

- What about Miss Evans?

- What about Anna?

Steve looked at the pretty, funny girl in front of him and smiled beautifully, making Anna's cheeks flush slightly.

- Well, let's go to the emergency room. I hope all is well with your grandmother.

- Me too.

Anna and Steve arrived in an emergency in a few minutes, sat down on the benches and waited anxiously.

- So you're a neurosurgeon?

- Yes.

- Do you like to tinker with people's brains? - Seeing that he watched her with a strange look, she apologized. - I'm sorry. I'm nervous. I need something to distract me. I did not mean to offend. I think it can save lives is a fantastic thing. I would love to be a pediatrician but, I'm not smart enough and could barely pass the college entrance examination for nutrition. The score needed to study medicine is almost double.

- You do not look like a woman who would be good at pediatrics. You look like you'd be good at orthopedics. - Steve laughed wickedly. - I am a neurosurgeon, cardiac surgeon, angiologist, psychiatrist, geneticist and orthopedic surgeon.

- How did you study all this? And why is almost everything surgery?

- Well, I had time to study. Long time. And I'm the kind of person who likes to learn by testing and doing. The human body is the most perfect machine in the world. I'm very curious about how it works. That's why I chose medicine. I was in doubt about this and engineering. I ended up studying both and I liked medicine better, so I specialized in that.

Steve Beaufort, a normally quiet and quiet man, told of his academic achievements for this beautiful young lady he did not know ... how strange he must feel but he felt as if he had known you for years.

- Amazing. Absolutely incredible. Seriously, how old are you? - Anna asked excitedly.

- Twenty-nine.

- You're joking, right? You're four years older than me and you did it all ... where did I waste my time !?

- Probably parties and boyfriends. - He looked at the girl with a knowing look.

The truth is that Steve Michael Dunkelheit Beaufort is a genius with eidetic memory and eldest son of the second Miss of the Dunkelheit family, Alicia Dunkelheit and the entrepreneur Michael Beaufort. He was the third oldest cousin of Alexander Dunkelheit, despite the fact that Alexander's father was the eldest son, besides being the only child born in that generation of Dunkelheit. Caesar Dunkelheit is the oldest twin brother, for ten minutes, the first lady and three years older than his mother.

Then, with his great family support, both financial and physical and his intelligence, he was able to do his college entrance exam and pass both courses at age twelve. At seventeen he was a graduate in medicine and mechatronics engineering, with two postgraduate degrees in medicine and two master's degrees. At twenty-five, he already had three doctorates. He knew five languages, black belt aikido, judo and kung fu and was still doing a master's degree in genetics. He was simply a nerd with a hunger for knowledge.

- You look like a good psychiatrist ...

- Well, it's normal for young people to have fun. I had fun with books.

Steve did not know why, but he felt that this woman was interesting and he felt he could tell his whole life to her. Maybe it was the look of unassuming admiration she was giving him. He has suffered greatly since his adolescence with women who looked upon him with l.u.s.t. He was always handsome and this caused a bit of trauma in his life and in the end he began to dislike his appearance.

Anna, on the other hand, felt incredible talking to a handsome, very intelligent man. He was very handsome but, she was not interested in looking for a man, after all, she just came out of a relationship horrible and somewhat abusive. She wanted some time to get back together, time to work hard and be independent.

Soon a nurse appeared in the waiting room.

- The family of Inês Beaufort?

- Yes. - Steven replied.

- Dr. Beaufort? I did not know it was your relative.

- Grandma. How is she?

- Heart. Arterial hypertension. She needs to rest and avoid stress as much as possible. She is awake. You can go see her if you want.

- Thank you, Nurse ... - He looked at the badge on the woman's c.h.e.s.t. - Smith.

- Room 323.

Anna and Steve went to the nurse's room and found the old lady lying in bed. The various tubes and devices attached to the lady's fragile body made Anna feel distressed.

- You do not look well. - Whispered Anna.

- I'm not well, but I'm alive, my dear. Thanks. - Mrs. Beaufort said in a quiet, slightly hoarse voice. She opened her eyes and saw the girl who had saved her old life beside her dear older grandson. - You found my grandson. Steve, invite the girl over for coffee.

- Miss Anna, how about some coffee?

- Thank you, but I do not drink coffee. It's getting late, I must go home. I hope you get well soon.

Anna was already getting ready to leave. She now knew that the old lady was alive and reasonably well, so it was time to leave.

- Wait! I do not feel good if I do not thank you! - The old lady said eloquently.

- No need…

- Absolutely! Since you do not want coffee with my grandson, how about dinner with me? When do I get out of here, Steve?

- Depends on when you'll be fine ...?

- Nothing fun. I already know! How's it going? You give me your phone number. I'll call you when you leave and we'll have dinner!

- Mrs. Beaufort, there is no need ...

- I insist! ... Ai! Ai! The c.h.e.s.t hurts! - Tears streamed from the old lady's eyes as she held her c.h.e.s.t.

- Okay, okay! Madam, calm down.

Anna quickly picked up the smartphone Steve offered her and dialed her phone number.

Steve handed the smartphone to the old lady, so she could see and be able to calm down.

The old lady looked at the number and clicked to call, then the ringing sound of Anna's smartphone rang. The lady listened, pleased, she turned off her smartphone and took a deep breath.

- Wait till I get out of here. I'll take you to see a great seafood restaurant!

- Good. - That was the only thing Anna could answer.

Anna picked up her bags and said good-bye to grandmother and grandson in the bedroom, practically running away from the old lady.

When Anna closed the door behind her, the old lady looked at Steve and asked with a knowing look.

- A pretty girl, do not you think?

- Yes, Grandma. Very beautiful.

- Then take the girl to dinner. You're getting old and you did not even get a girlfriend! I want to see great-grandchildren before I die, incompetent boy. - Said the lady in a particularly acid tone.

- Grandma, love is to be lived for two people. I may be interested in Miss Anna, but that does not mean she'll like me.

- Your pretty face is for what? Useless! Bring a wife home soon! - The old lady cried out in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Anna took a cab and headed back to Diana's apartment.

She bought several suits for her work days at LSM Enterprise and felt particularly excited about her new job.

After a relaxing bath Anna put on her winter pajamas and lay down on the bed, wondering when Diana would return home and the handsome Dr. Steve Beaufort, she fell asleep with a smile.
