Melanie glance at her room door, peeking out from her hidden place to know when Archie will be out of her room.She hides quietly behind the rail, with her eyes wide open. Watching out for the little boy to exit her room.Just then, there comes the sound of the opening door. She heaves a sigh of relief when she sees Archie working out of the room, grinning widely. She scoffs dumbly at him, and without making a sound she steps out of her hiding.“Oh, Lord! Thank you.” She puffs out air, does a cross sign then proceeds to walk back to her room.“I’m tired of them.”She stares into space, “Everyone of the Gordos.” She groans, dragging her feet towards her bed.She takes her to sit at the edge of her bed and picks up her phone when her eyes imprecisely land on the poor phone, beside the nightstand lamp.She decides to check her social media handle since she doesn't have anything to do at the moment. Logging into her insta account, notification starts flooding her phone which makes her wan
Walking inside the store, Melanie glances around, eyes searching for Hannah.When she's tired of searching, she decides to check if she's attending to someone in the dressing room.She strides toward the section that leads to the section and she beholds a guy there, standing with a lady in uniform, his hands intertwined behind his back.“Ehm, excuse me, please is Hannah here?” Melanie asks, if she's going to pick anything here, then she needs the help of Hannah. The last time that she came, she seemed to know what suited her body perfectly.“She no longer works here.” She hears the voice of a young lady, not taking a glimpse of her.“Okay.” She says shortly, turning around to leave the section when she hears the familiar voice stopping her from walking away.“Why are you looking for her?” The voice asks, his voice is so calm and soft.Melanie turns around to have a glimpse of the person that is talking to her.“Andy Reid?” She gasps, seeing the face of the man she was chatting with ea
Melanie looks from one lady to another. Her face beams with a beautiful smile.“Please come in!” She opens the door wider for them to enter.She closes the gate behind them, “Please follow me.” She says gently, leading the way to the living room, as the ladies trail quietly behind her. Only the sounds of their shoes hitting the ground could be heard.Melanie stands in the middle of the circled settee. She stretches out her hand forward, “Have your seat, please.” she invited them to sit when she sees that no one is making a move to sit down.They nod, as they sink onto the couches.Melanie kneads her palms together, feeling nervous around them “So, what are those?” She slightly raises her brows and the ladies smile sweetly at her.“These are the dresses Mr Gordon mandated us to deliver to you, ma'am.” The same lady that spoke at the door early, utter. Melanie nods shyly and stands up to take the boxes.“I will have to take these inside. You…”“Elena!” The lady smiles at her name.“So,
The car pulls to a halt inside a large garage that is filled with cars of different brands. The driver sways off his seatbelt, pulls out the key from the ignition and steps down from the car.He walks over to the passenger side and opens the car door for Melanie while holding onto the handle.He stretches out his palm to her and helps her down without her tripping on her heel.“Thank you!” Melanie smiled, and she halted as soon as she stepped down from the car. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear as she waits keenly for the driver to lock the car so he can take the lead.Not like she knows where they're heading anyways.“This way please.” The driver says, walking towards the front door of the drop-dead gorgeous house that's likely to fit thousands of people.Walking behind the driver, Melanie roams her gaze around the house and she loves what she's seeing.There is a pool at the right angle of the building, the blue water calls out to her and she wonders if they all love water l
Melanie drags her feet outside the house. She absent-mindedly bows to the maids that escort her outside and they stare at her in shock.Looking around for the driver that brought her early, she couldn't see him anywhere and she let out an audible sigh.Melanie clutches tight at her purse as she makes her way to the parking lot. There, she meets him.She meets her boss leaning on the car with his eyes closed. He looked stressed and Melanie felt water drop from her eyes.The look on his tired face shows that he needs someone to rely on.Melanie moves closer to him, she stretches out her hand and touches his hair. The movement of her hand on his hair wakes him up. He stares at her, wondering why she's crying.He releases his back from the car and stands straight in front of her.“Are you okay?” He asks in concern.Melanie shakes her head negatively. “I’m not fine,” She pants, throwing herself at him. “I’m not okay,” she mumbles, sniffing his sweet smell.Mr Gordon seems startled by her a
Archie gets home, feeling hungry as he walks inside the house. The stillness of the house is what welcomes him and he sighs in realisation.His babysitter has gone to the supposed dinner date with his Uncle and his father is not yet back home.“What’s he still doing at the office, by this time?” Archie sneered. He peeks up the stairs to see if he'll catch the reflection of his father, but he's sure his father is not back home.“Goodness, God! I'm so tired and hungry.” He groans, tossing his backpack on the couch and rushing to the kitchen to prepare something for himself before his father gets back. He enters the kitchen and goes straight to the freezer to check what he can cook.“Eh, what're all these anyways?” He laughed at himself when he couldn't tell what the stuff in the freezer was used for.“The heck! I'll just prepare a cup of milk and have it with pizza.” He chuckles as he closes back the freezer.“Aunt is trying. Oh, my God!” He shakes his head and walks away from the free
Mr Gordon drives inside the garage. He pulls out the key from the ignition and steps down from the car.“Don’t get down yet, wait for me to open the door for you.” He warns.“Welcome back home, Dear friend.” Mr Gordon grins as he walks over to the passenger side of the car and opens the door for Melanie.“It’s nice to be back to the mansion of trouble. How nice to be back here again.” She smiles, tapping Mr Gordon's grip on her hand.“What trouble are you talking about? Did we trouble you in any way?” He asks, not believing he has been troubling her all along.“Ahh, Ahh! At all, you didn't trouble me. I'm just saying, you know.” Melanie laughs weirdly and they both walk inside the living room, hand in hand.They halt in their tracks seeing Archie in the living room with his gaze fixed on their intertwined hands. They both pull out their hands which makes Archie roll his eyes at them.“You know I don't have any problems with that,” He scoffs letting his earphones slide down to his neck
Melanie woke up to the pitch of her alarm. It's her first day at the company and she feels anxious about it.She strides to the bathroom to have a thorough bath.After having done her bath, Melanie walks back to her room. She ransacks through the wardrobe and picks out the outfit that fits perfectly for the company. Minutes later, she is dressed in an expensive black suit. And she packs her hair in a tight ponytail.Mr Gordon walks in to meet her putting on her earrings. He observes her for a while and shakes his head in disapproval.“I brought this,” He announced his presence, raising the package in his hand in the air.“Good morning, Alfred.” Melanie greets him as soon as he gets to her side.“Morning, babe.” He greets her back with a peck on her forehead.“I want you to wear this.” He drops the package on the dressing table and she stares at him with a smile on her face.“I have already dressed up for the company.” She hitches her nape.Mr Gordon shakes his head in disapproval.“T
