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
Melanie traces her eyes on the hand and it lands on the last person she thought she would meet at the company.She smiles brightly at him. “Good morning, Andy.” She greets him warmly. Feeling disappointed that it wasn't who she thought it was. “What are you doing here by the way?” She asks, carefully releasing her hand from his grip.Andy stares at his palm, wondering why she has to pull out her hand like that. “Hey, I never thought I would meet you here.” He smiles, giving her a delightful look. Covering his bitterness with a bright smile that fit his face perfectly.“Ahh. Well, yeah, I'm here to meet someone.” Melanie says, maintaining her cool as she moves her gaze to the front. She looks at the entrance to make sure that Mr Gordon’s car is truly out of sight.Andy grins in realisation. “Let me guess…” He taps his jaw, pretending to be in thought. “You’re starting work here… As the Gordons.” He grins widely at her. Melanie drops her arms in drawback. She doesn't seem to find meani
Inside a photography studio, Melanie is seen posing in front of a camera. Her body is clad in a short sleeve coral long dress that hugs her body tightly. She crosses her arms over her chest and quivers vigorously as the camera records her pose. She stops shivering when a thick fur coat is thrown at her.She smiled and flung the coat on her body. She flashes out her shiny teeth and blows a kiss to the camera. “And that's a wrap! That is a fantastic first shoot!” The Cameraman says, retreating the camera as he gives Melanie a thumbs up.Melanie nods happily. She couldn't believe she just modeled a designer fur coat that hasn't been seen anywhere. She put down the coat and March rushed towards her with a bottle of water.“That was amazing!” March smiles, handing over the water to Melanie before picking up a band from the drawer and scooping Melanie’s hair in her hand.“Thank you, March.” Melanie smiles, flicking the lid and gulping the water down her throat. She notices that March is st
The clicking sounds on the programming system are the only earshot that could be heard inside the Director's office. Melanie sighs and moves a strand of hair that seems to be disturbing her behind her ear.She drops the pen on the note in front of her and places her elbow on the table.Seeing the piles of files that need to be checked on her table, makes her breathe heavily through the open gap of her teeth.She has tons of files to check and she hasn't gotten a topic done yet.“Oh, my, my God!” She exclaims and has her gaze glued on the system.The fact that everything she needs to know has been programmed for her, yet she still needs to solve some hard task that seems difficult to understand.“Director is just a mere title. There is no difference between a Director and a mere probationer.” She sighs and closes her sight tiredly.Since her assistant left in the morning, she has been working on the system. Not like she knew what she would be doing if not for the help of the system tha
