After two days, Denise found herself standing in the Registrar of marriages office getting married to Ansel. She had readied herself for all this but it was like she had moved too fast. She had even started having doubts at her decision making skills.It was like she was in a tornado being swirled left right and centre and she needed to take a rest before she started feeling dizzy. It had all happened so fast and she needed to slow down.Within two days, she had said yes to a marriage proposal, moved in with a man and now here she was getting married.After they agreed to get married that day in her house, Ansel didn't even wait. He was behaving like a kid the way they wait onChristmas Eve for Christmas day knowing that presents would be opened the following day.He immediately called Kai then and there and asked him to get everything ready. Since Denise didn't have parents, it wasn't going to be hard. In fact, they would have got married within a day if it wasn't for Denise who i
He looked at them all and gave a curt nod. He had been with some of them since he moved here and these people were like an extended family to him and they had given him enough reasons to trust them."Thank you for leaving whatever you were doing and gathering here in such a short notice. I know I don't have to say this but I will say it again as a reminder for those who may have forgotten.When you were all employed here, you signed a confidential contract. This is to say that whatever happens in this house stays here and if it gets out, I will investigate and the culprit won't like what will happen to her or him. That said, I am about to tell you something that even my parents should not know. It is upon me to decide when to tell them or not.This is because it is a personal matter that I should be the one to tell those I deem fit and timely.With me, is my wife, Denise Winston.That is to say that she is your new boss from today and I hope you will all make her stay with us easy
Denise felt well rested and she didn't know whether it was because of the good bed or sleeping next to Ansel. All she knew was that it had been long since she had such a good sleep.What Denise didn't know was that being with Ansel brought about a sense of security in her life. She was thus able to sleep unguarded because she trusted that he would keep her safe.Denise wasn't used to waking up next to someone and she was yet to get used to the idea that she was going to be this man's wife. No.She was already his wife.She still felt strange about it and having Ansel tease her on it made her stomach flutter because she was yet to get used to the idea. She considered herself the most lucky girl in the world at the moment and for a long time to come.She took her time in the bathroom so as to wash away the awkwardness she had felt earlier but she knew that she couldn't stay in the bathroom forever. So, after taking a quick shower, she passed by the closet and wore a simple jeans pant
When Ansel and Denise went for breakfast on their floor, they were in their own bubble and weren't concerned about what the maids were doing. All that was in their minds was to take breakfast and then go take their vows and become husband and wife. That was the part that Ansel mostly looked forward to.Before getting to the dining room, there was a small staircase that led to the door of the dining room just after the corridor. When they reached the last stair case, Denise saw that girl of yesterday who sneered when she was talking looking at her from the corner of a wall thinking that Denise wasn't paying attention.The floor was slippery because it looked like it had just been cleaned but she wondered why it looked like it had not been dried up well and then a thought flashed across her mind: Mandy.She wondered why she might have cleaned it like that and since she was new in the house and did not want to seem like a petty woman, she just kept quiet and walked into the dining room an
After a sumptuous breakfast, they went to the Marriage Registry Center where they were to get married. Ansel drove as he showed her the workings of a car. He first showed her just the important parts and what they do like the handbrake, the gears and how they worked, the clutches, the brakes, the steering wheel and how it works and such.That's when Denise realized that the workings of a car weren't actually complicated and if she put her mind into it, she would learn how to drive within no time. That was how she decided to take driving classes on the weekends although she didn't tell Ansel.She hoped to surprise him once she learned how to drive.When they came to the offices where they were to register their marriage, Kai and a lawyer were there. AIl the documents had been prepared and all these two had to do was to sign, take their wedding photo and have their vows before a judge and they would be legally man and wife.The whole process took them like an hour and they walked ou
Denise knew that the hotel was big but didn't expect it to be this big.However, she was happy to be there because then, she would learn how a hotel was run for her future. It had always her dream that one day, she would have the biggest hotel in Xela and even compete with Imperial.She was told that for the time being as she was still under probation, she would be working on floors number 56 and 57. If ever those floors had guests, she and another girl she would be shown later, would be their responsibility to make sure that the guests were comfortable. She, accepted the challenge whole heartedly for it is through challenges that people learn. It is also through challenges that one is tempered.After that first day, she went home happy. She was eager to start work. The following day, Xavier had told her that her uniform would be ready by the next day and that she would also get herduty rota the following day still and she was eager. The driver, whom she referred to as Uncle Mi
Denise decided to deal with the girl but in her own way and pace.Losing her cool because of such a situation would be very childish according to her. She was Mrs Winston and she did not want to tarnish Ansel's name in any way. She would deal with her in her own way until she decided to leave by herself. Whatever her motive was for treating Denise like that, Denise didn't care. Mandy had decided to make an enemy out of her and an enemy she would be.The following day after an uneventful evening and night, she was at work at thestipulated time, ready and excited to start. Xavier was impressed by her. He thought that since she had close connections to the boss, she would be one those snobbish people who treated those belowthem like nothing. But it looked like Denise was different. Xavier was sure that they were going to get along well.After greetings and a few pleasantries, they were both ready to start their day."Okay, MS, since you are here, it's time you took your first assignm
Denise went to the pantry with one of the girls whose name was Judy. Judy was a nice little lass and she talked a lot and Denise did not mind because she knew that if she wanted people to like her in this house, she had to be friendly and furthermore, she knew how to be beaten and she couldn't treat people like that. She had to be an exemplary boss.Judy was amazed at how Denise seemed to know what she wanted and she didn't ask any questions as she went through the things packed in the pantry. She wondered when a rich lady learned all these. According to Judy, who had come from an ordinary family, she thought that someone like Ansel would only get married to a person of his status. So, she could never think that Denise wasn't rich.When they reached the pantry, Denise was amazed. She wondered what all this food was for. It was like they were stocking up for the apocalypse. But she had to act the part of the lady of the house and she thus didn't show Judy that she was surprised.They t
