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
The drive back to the company is a hush. Mr Gordon keeps quiet throughout the ride from the restaurant. Melanie didn't know what the issue is. She thought he is just thinking about work not knowing that she is the reason behind his quiet state.Melanie steps down from the car when he pulls to a halt in front of the company. She grabs her purse from the seat, her eyes not leaving Mr Gordon as she shut the car door.“Drive safely.” She waves to him. She watches his expression through the window and she let out a soft sigh.Melanie clutch her purse tightly. She turns around and starts walking towards the entrance. She didn't wait for him to drive off before walking out of him.Mr Gordon watches her until she enters the company before driving off.Archie closes the door behind him as he walks out of the principal's office. He has his face glued to the piece of paper in his hand.He sighs umpteen times. He sneaks his hand inside his backpack and brings out his phone. He put a call across t
The staff has ceased the day's work and Melanie is seen standing outside the company waiting for the available cab. She waves to the staff that greet her on the way home.She watches as they all drive off in their various cars; she feels jealous of them, but since they seem to be better off than her, she shrugs off the cast-down feelings and keeps a watch for any cab that passes by.“Ma’am,” March, her assistant calls out to her, running in her high heels to meet up with her. “Why are you not leaving? Waiting for someone?” She asks, grinning as she stares at Melanie’s face.“Hmmm, I am not waiting…”Melanie is still saying when a car pulls to a halt in front of them, almost crushing their toes. Melanie peep to have a good look at the crazy driver only to behold Kayla smirking devilishly at them.“You fucking cop!” Melanie hollers at her. She whirls her gaze to March and apologises on her friend’s behalf.“Yo, baby!” Kayla laughs heavily, peeling off her shade glasses.“What are you do
Mr Gordon drives inside the Company carport. He open the car door and stuck a foot out of the car. He peep through the mirror, eye searching for Melanie but he couldn't see her anywhere outside the company.‘Did she leave already?’ he thought, his eyes roaming around, searching for her one more time before deciding to put a call across to her.“Shit!” he cursed under his breath, “Did she hail a cab?” He arches his brows. “That doesn't make any sense.” He sighs. He rests his head on the backrest.“Or is she still busy with work?” He flung his eyes open at the thought of Melanie working an extra hour. “I swear I'm so going to sue uncle if he dares stress her.” He spat angrily. It's just her first day, why would he throw a bunch of tasks at her?He hasn't called his uncle in age, and he never thought he would be calling him anytime soon, but there he is, dialling his uncle's line.“Yes, Dad. Good afternoon.” He greets his uncle with gritted teeth.“Son! How are you? Have you closed for to
