"Stay away from the room at the extreme end of the east wing... Be quiet as much as possible.... Leave at once when the second hand struck 5pm, not a second late!" Those were the three grand rules that she received. Allicia will never have expected her life to face a total turn around after she accepted to work as a caregiver in the house of a man that she never even met before. She had no idea what this unknown person she worked for was called, she had never seen him, not once had he shown his face. He was always hidden in a room in the mansion. Allicia had never been a disobedient girl all her life and she followed the rules while working diligently in the mansion. The only thing she did in the lonely mansion was sit by the window and sing with the birds. Her life went on smoothly and peacefully until an unfortunate stormy evening... It was a painful experience for her, one that she never wished to recall ever again. Not until she met him...
View More"Leader, it's good that you are here already. They had just announced the presence of the big boss. He should be going on stage now" Julie voiced as she made way for Allicia to stand with them.Alicia gave a slight nod and she stood beside the members of the team. In that instant, Allicia felt Annie moving slightly closer to her and her flustered whispering voice soon reached her ear."Leader, quickly, look! The boss is on the stage already!" Annie expressed in awe.Allicia lifted her head and subconsciously, her gaze fell on the stage. To her astonishment, her eyes fell on the familiar figure and face that was already perfectly etched in her memory. It was a face with peculiar and distinct features that she can tell even with her eyes closed. That face had haunted her dreams many times already.Her breath ceased for a few seconds and her eyes widened. She had yet recovered from the unexpected encounter she had with him and seeing him again, her body trembled involuntarily. Unknowingl
A while ago, a man dressed in an exquisite suit stepped out of an elevator, his secretary followed closely behind him while maintaining a reasonable distance from him at the same time. The secretary did not dare to walk on the same level as his boss. Just then, when they were about to enter the venue of the company's dinner, the man suddenly halted, he looked in a certain direction with a cold glare before he made a sharp twist and began hurrying in that direction. The secretary was dumbfounded and confused for a moment before he got back to himself and rushed after his boss. Who would have thought that the man's pace was so fast that he did not catch up with him immediately? The man who was hurrying in that direction was certain that what he saw this time was not a mere fraction of his imagination but a real person. He had to catch up with that person and see who it was at all costs. Whether his head was only imagining that person who played on his dreams every night or the person
Allicia got into the taxi and waved at her baby as the taxi zoomed off. She glanced at the time and she saw that there was still about an hour to the dinner. There was also about twenty minutes drive from the apartment to the venue where the dinner was going to hold. She looked at her phone and screened through the pictures of her that Ava took before she left the house. She saw a few pretty ones and decided to upload them on her social media account. She did not have many friends in her social circle but after she uploaded her pictures, it garner likes from her friends and a few comments. She quickly responded to some of the comments and closed the app. Before she knew it, the car stopped in front of the venue for the dinner. Allicia mouthed a word of thanks, paid her fare and stepped out of the car. She pinched her dress and walked walked on the stairs that led into the event hall. When she stepped inside, she found that the hall was already filled with people, both familiar and u
"Please, don't…" a gasp slipped past her parted lips and she let out a nervous murmur that was barely audible. A solemn whimper incessantly slipped through her lips at the same time. Her eyes were shut tightly and her brows furrowed, beads of perspiration rolled down her forehead down to her cheeks while her body also thrashed violently around the bed. Her fingers were balled to form a tight fist. She clenched her fingers so tightly that blood ceased to flow in her hands, her veins and blood vessels popped and her hands became pale. A teardrop leaked out of the corner of her eyes and it mixed with the beads of sweat rolling down to her cheek. The strands of her messy hair stuck against the skin of her face and neck, and her breathing was shallow, it was as though something pressed heavily against her chest. The torturous moment came and passed after a while, her laboured breathing slowly eased and after a few minutes had passed, she slowly opened her eyes again. She inhaled deeply a
"That is all for now. Try to arrange a meeting with the other company's representatives the week after this so that we can talk about their proposal" Allicia instructed her secretary. "Yes, Leader. I will do that immediately" Annie voiced. "Alright," Allicia said with a slight nod. "If there is nothing else, you can take your leave" she added and looked down at the documents before her. As soon as she completed the investment proposal of Microm Tech corporation, her group already had another proposal to deal with the following week. Although she was trying to work at a quick pace and complete the new proposal, the event that was coming up in the company was also taking up her time. The employees were all occupied with the preparations for the event the entire week. Everyone had their minds on the event. This made Allicia to be slightly irritated. Even her teammates were all distracted, the ladies would rather talk about the dress they would wear than come up with ideas for their ne
"How can I help you like this, little girl? The mall has its policies, if I stand in for you today, other people will want someone to stand in for them too when they don't have money to pay" Olivia said in the softest voice ever. "But, I really promise–" "Enough, young girl! This is a place for serious business not a place to make promises! You have heard me, if you don't have money, just leave and let me attend to other important people!" The cashier uttered sharply. Allicia could no longer take it, she looked at the young girl whose eyes were already filled with years and reluctance to drop the box. She grabbed the girl's wrist and pushed the girl behind her. "Who said there is no money to pay?" Allicia glared at the cashier. "The girl clearly has no money to pay!" The cashier voiced, she really did not like how Allicia was being so nosy. Just when Allicia was about to speak, Olivia interrupted her. "Miss, I understand that you are concerned with the young girl but–" Before Ol
"Thank you," Allicia muttered to the taxi driver as she paid the fare. She turned around and walked into the mall. The Centre Mall was the largest in the entire city and it served both ordinary customers and others with premium membership in the city. The moment Allicia stepped into the mall, she knew that it lived up to its name as the biggest mall. Customers who came into the mall were well received by the workers. "Welcome to Centre Mall, Miss, how may I be of help to you?" A young lady walked up to her and asked with a pleasant smile. "Ah, thanks," Allicia said as she lifted her gaze to look at the lady. "Can you please bring me to the kid's section?" Allicia asked politely. "Of course, please come with me," the lady said and led the way to another section of the mall. After a few turns, they came to a section that only had kids' clothes, toys, and other things that related to children. "Is there any other thing that I can help you with?" The lady asked politely after they ha
"The contract has been successfully signed, Leader!" One of the members of group A said with a smile. It was a bearded man who looked slightly older than the twenty-something-year-old Allicia. "You have done a great job, leader! Congratulations on your first success!" Another one echoed and Allicia blushed. She smiled and faced every member of the group. "I did nothing on my own, everyone played a great role that worked towards the success of the proposal" she uttered. The members of the group applauded her, she was not just smart but also humble, they could not help but genuinely find her pleasing to the eyes. While the group was jubilating for their success, a cold snort suddenly reached their ears."It seems that since group A got a new leader, they have become so free. While other groups are working hard on the proposal, you all are idling around" Allicia frowned and turned around only to see Marie standing by the entrance of her group with a disdainful scowl on her face. Seein
Allicia laid in her bed after she was treated a whole dinner by Ava, she felt bloated and a little bit too full. She reached out her hand and carried her laptop. She switched it one and looked into her emails. She quickly responded to a few mails that she received in the past two days. When she was done, she closed the laptop and put it aside. She then picked her phone and began surfing through the internet. She had few friends over the time that she was abroad and she replied to their messages. Most were just questions asking how she was, nothing that was really important there. Just when she was about to close her phone and fall asleep, she received a notification in her private message and she clicked it open. It was a message from someone named 'big boss'. "Are you awake?" The message rang and Allicia sat up instant. Her hands shook and her phone nearly fell off due to her abruptness. "Yes, hello" she politely replied. "Hm, you resumed work already?" The person messaged again
"Here is the key to the mansion" "Thank you" Allicia stated softly, a slight smile lit up her face and her deep brown eyes glinted with pure innocence. The middle-aged man nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face. He appeared to be pleased with the young lady. She was a lady like every other one that had worked in the place before but at least, she had a peaceful demeanor that neither of the ones from the past had. And those doe-like eyes of hers did not conceal greed and curiousity like the others that he had met before. If she contained herself well during this period, perhaps, she could survive the next three months of the recovery…"Ahem-" The middle-aged man cleared his throat and drew back from his drifting thoughts. He placed the bunch of keys in the opened palm of the girl. "You can call me Felix by the way" he added. "Yes, Master Felix" Allicia voiced politely. Her pearl white teeth shone as she smiled. She carefully hid away the bunch of keys that she receiv...
