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
When Mandy added chilli to the food, she obviously thought that she was alone and she never thought that someone would find out. She was double sure that she wouldn't even be suspected.When Denise requested that she be among those who would join them for dinner, she thought that she wanted to tell Ansel what Mandy did and said in the kitchen the previous day. When that didn't happen and they were welcomed for dinner, she wondered whether Denise feared her that much that she wanted to suck up to her. So, she was feeling all high and mighty as she sat there to eat with them.She felt bad that she had to see how these two behaved like they were the only two people in the world who were in love, but she was also glad at the same time. Due to this foolish woman's thinking, she could sit at the same table with Ansel and eat with him for the first time ever. This was anaccomplishment on Mandy’s part. And if it meant that she had to keep bullying Denise for her to get these favours, she wo
Ansel sat there with a sarcastic smile on his face as he wondered how such a dense woman ended up in his house. Didn't the butler find a better person to employ? Couldn't he have looked for someone better? He wondered who was this idiot of a woman to say that his wife, (His wife for heaven's sake!) wanted to give her hot food on purpose because she hated her? Who did she think she was? Did she think that she was worthy?"Who do you think you are to think that my wife has even the time to waste hating you? Do you think that you are worthy?" He asked her all fired up ready to raise Azazel to deal with her but Denise held his hand.She knew that if she allowed Ansel to deal with her, he would be too brutal and she also didn't want him to act before she could finish what she had planned for Mandy."It's okay baby. Maybe she has a reason to say so. Don't you Mandy? There must be a reason why you think I hate you, right?" Denise asked although she knew the woman would just spout more no
