“I would prefer working from home for now.” She told Sia through the phone. Ever since they came home from Barcelona, Alejandro had gone back to his bipolar self but it didn't bother Zoëlla that much because she expected it.

“Okay, that would be no problem... I'd explain it to Miguel and his parents, they'd understand,” Sia assured.

Zoëlla was not from a poor family at all. Her parents and two siblings had died in a fire outbreak. She escaped this because she had travelled to see her Abuelo and Abuela. 

On her return, she met the demise of her once loving and caring family. She had to go and stay with her grandparents who adored her. They were against her leaving home to start life afresh, but as stubborn as she is, she still decided to leave and experience life.

Her grandad was angry when he learnt his precious jewel was a maid to someone else. He just wanted her home where she belonged.

 She convinced him she'd be home when she had achieved what she wanted.

“Thanks, Sia, you're a lifesaver.”  She added.

“Anything for my best friend,” Sia added as they continued with random conversations.

“You must be the new house help sent in by the agency?” Zendaya asked as she talked to the young lady starring at her.

“Si ma'am,” Carlotta answered as Zendaya ushered her inside. She showed her the room in which she'd be staying.

No mala ( Not bad). Carlotta thought to herself.

“Thanks, ma'am.” She said to Zendaya.

“It's fine, unpack your stuff and then meet me in the kitchen we've got a whole lot to do,” Zendaya added as she left the room.

“Not even a 'take the day off you'd resume tomorrow.'” Carlotta said inaudibly as she arranged her stuff in the room. She took her time to unpack knowing that there was a load of things to do in the house.

“Ma'am, I'm done.” She said as she entered the parlour to see Zendaya relaxed watching television.

“What took you so long?” She harshly said.

“Anyways, Sígueme ( Follow me).” She said without giving room for Carlotta to explain herself.

~

“Alejandro, qué agradable sorpresa ( What a nice surprise),” Miguel added as he offered his friend a seat.

“Graçias Miguel,” Ale said as he sat down.

“I hope business is going well?” Miguel inquired as his secretary brought them coffee.

“Business is booming, anyways a little birdie told me you're getting hitched soon to your personal assistant who was once your maid.” He added as he sipped his coffee.

“Well, that birdie wasn't wrong at all, I am getting hitched, and I'm glad I met her,” Miguel added rolling his eyes at his friend.

¿No está Ella por debajo de tu clase? ( Isn't she way below your class?)” Alejandro asked.

“Love knows no boundaries, it knows no class it's just pure and wonderful. If you find love wheresoever, no matter her status fight for it and in the end you'd never regret it.” He advised his friend.

“Okay, Mr.lover boy but I haven't found love yet and if I do, It would definitely take your advice.” He smiled at his friend.

“You know you're going to be the el Padrino de Boda,” Miguel added.

“But you know I loathe weddings man,” Ale added.

“The more reason you're going to be the el Padrino de Boda.” Miguel laughed at the expression on his friend's face.

“I need to get back to the office, it was nice catching up with you Miguel. We'd talk more Felicidades.” Alejandro added as he walked out of the office.

Miguel was right. He shouldn't base his love on status or class. After all, he had enough to take care of the woman he'd choose to marry despite her class or wealth. Alejandro thought to himself as he sat in his car and drove home.

There was nothing urgent that needed his presence in the office.

~~

Zoëlla sat at the poolside working on her laptop. Sia had gotten her the job as she had promised.

She didn't notice that Alejandro stood behind her reading from her shoulder.

“Excellent work.” He said startling her.

Relájese Zoëlla, but I never knew you had such qualifications.” He said sitting beside her.

“Because you always assumed I was just a maid with no educational qualification so played along with it.” She added saving the work before sending it to Sia.

“If so, how come you're not working in a company with such good skills?” He asked.

“I used to work as the Managing director of Zealots and Co but I got fired for no reason and then with the help of Zendaya, I found myself here.” She told.

“What Estúpido here would fire competent personnel like you. Just a peek at your work and I can see your good at your job.” He said impressed.

“Graçias Ale.” She smiled.

“How about you help me work on some work files from home and double your paycheck.” He convinced.

“I'm already working for Sia.” She said.

“But I can also work on your files for you, it's no Vaya Cosa,” Zoëlla added.

“Are you sure you won't be stressed?” He asked concerned.

“I'd be fine...It won't be a big deal because I'd be working from home, so worry not my dear one.” She teased.

Tienes hambre? (Are you hungry?)” She asked shutting down the laptop.

“Yeah, I'm craving for some Mac and Cheese.” He added losing his tie as he climbed upstairs to freshen up.

Zoëlla hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner for her hungry boss. She cooked the macaroni according to the package directions and then drained it.

In a saucepan, She melted butter or margarine over medium heat.

And stirred in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. She stirred in cheeses, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in a large casserole dish, and pour the sauce over macaroni. Stir well.

After that, she melted butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and brown. Spread over the macaroni and cheese to cover. Sprinkle with a little paprika.

She baked at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

After she was done, she served her boss a plate as she set the table for her boss.

“Join me Zoëlla and no excuses,” Alejandro said as she was about leaving.

She set the laptop on the counter and then served herself and sat beside Alejandro as they talked about random stuff.

“You look quite exhausted.” Alejandro teased as he saw Zoëlla's red eyes.

“I am after was done with Sia's work, I had to go over the files you gave me and then corrected some mistakes from them before I did the work you wanted me to do on them,” Zoëlla explained as Alejandro stared at her lovingly.

“I'm sorry, you had to go through that stress.” He apologised.

“It's fine Ale, ” Zoëlla smiled showing her dimples.

“Okay, if you say so.” She added as he packed the plates.

“ Ale, let me do it, I can handle carrying a few plates, besides it's my job." Zoëlla insisted.

“No, just sit there and rest while I do the dishes just for today,”  Alejandro added as he did the dishes.

Zoëlla wasn't answering the question he asked her earlier on. He dried the last plate and then went on to check on her. She had fallen asleep in her seat. He smirked as he carried her bridal style to her room. He put her to sleep and then came back of her laptop and phone then kept it on her nightstand.

Buenas Noches Hermosa,” Alejandro whispered as he shut the door behind him and walked off to his room.

    “Hey Sia, I just sent you the files on the work you gave me,” Zoëlla said through the phone while typing on the laptop. “Okay, thanks love I'd check my e-mail and get back to you, I was in a meeting, I'd talk to you later,” Sia said hanging up. She had saved the other copy to her laptop and sent the original copy to her. Alejandro had given her some files to work on so she began with that. Carlotta sat on her bed exhausted. Zendaya had worked her to the bones. She was mad at how sometimes she was treated in her own lover's house. Yes! Her lover Luciano. He had called her up one evening asking her to pose as a maid to be sent to their house. He claimed Zendaya no longer made love to him with the excuse of being too tired from work and chores. She accepted the offer besides the pay was good and she was going to be with her lover again. Es hora del show.

    “I talked to your dad about Zoëlla and convinced him that she wasn't a gold digger, but a wonderful woman. You have to prove your love for her to him so that he would be convinced the more. He still has doubts, it's up to you to clear those doubts, Ale.” Kathy added. “¿Y si Ella no me ama igual?” He asked. “Can't you see the way her eyes light up when you enter the room, or how she smiles when you acknowledge her? She clearly likes you and it's up to you to make you and her happen. Don't screw this up, Ale.” Kathy added as she walked out. Alejandro broke out of his trance when his secretary walked into his office. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Nolan group of companies in a few minutes, so I suggest we head there now,” Layla added. “Alright Layla, lead the way,” Alejandro said as he followed suit. “Abuelo, Estoy Bien, volvería a casa Cuando haya logrado todo lo que Quiero.” She added relaxing by the poolside.

    Dante and Zoëlla's friendship had grown into a beautiful one and so had her love for Alejandro but he didn't seem to notice it. He was just blinded by jealousy because of the friendship she shared with Dante.He had stopped complimenting her as he used to do before Dante came in. And they didn't hang out that much as they use to do. She was working on Sia's files as she sat in her room typing. Alejandro had also stopped giving his files to her to work on anymore.What was happening? She asked herself. Her grandpa had sent her everything about the company and information on everyone she needed to know.“Does he suspect you two have something going on?" Sia asked Zoëlla and Dante as they sat at a nearby café.“I guess he does." Zoëlla sighed.“Then talk to him Zoëlla, make him understand how you feel," Dante added.“You guys are right, I'd talk to him about it tonight," Zoëlla said happily as they talked about random things.Alejandro came back from work exhausted and with a guest.

    “¿Que está pasando aqui? (What's going on here)?" Zendaya asked almost dropping her newborn. She had seen Carlotta and Luciano having sex on the couch in their living room. “What does it look like puta?" Carlotta challenged. “¿Vas a Dejar que me hable de esta manera? (Are you gonna let her talk to me this way?)" She asked an unperturbed Luciano who shrugged his shoulders at her. “You, you're leaving this house this minute!" Zendaya screamed as she rushed upstairs and carefully put her baby in her court. Then rushed downstairs. “Puta, are you still here?" She fumed. “If anyone is a bitch, it's you. You just don't know how to treat people, you treat them like trash." She spat. “Luciano baby, I'd see you tomorrow night, I'm out of this hell hole." She sashayed into her room as Luciano got up stark naked and walked up to his room. Zendaya sat on the floor sobbing. What had she done to deserve this from Luciano? After all, she had sacrificed for him is this how he repaid her? Or

    Alejandro's wounds were healing and he was thankful to Zoëlla. Their bond had become shaky because of how he had humiliated her. He had broken things off with Jovena even though she wasn't getting the hint and was coming unto him in the office. He found every means possible to avoid her at all costs. “Note estás volviendo más joven necesitas casarte.( Note , you are getting younger you need to get married)." His dad said through the phone. “Dad, you know I love Zoëlla and she's the one I want." He replied. “No hay forma de que te deje casarte con esa perra(There's no way I'm letting you marry that bitch), over my dead body. There are decent girls out there, get one to marry." He demanded. “I'm sorry dad my mind is already made up, it's Zoëlla or no one else." He hung up angrily. ~~ Luciano walked into the house and met the house in a mess. His wife was nowhere in sight.

    “Jovena, Jovena, Jovena, jeez can you stop!" Alejandro's raised his voice. “Can't you see it was just a fling? I don't feel anything for you, nada." He said to her as she sat on the couch. “What about what we shared?" She wiped her tears. “Look, it was fun while it lasted, but for now, I feel nothing for you, absolutely nothing. You better get your act together or you might lose your job." He told her. “Fuck this job Ale, te deseo." She said as his father walked into his office. “Alejandro Antonio, ¿Es así como tratar a una mujer? ( Is this how to treat a woman?) " He asked as he helped Jovena up. “No Papa, but what we had is over I love someone else." He said walking towards his seat. “That maid, that bitch? Can you compare her to this Mujer guapa?"

Fernando said thinking Zoëlla would run off crying. “Congratulations Miss Jovena, I'm happy for you." She smiled at her shocking both of them to the core. “I, erm whatever, pack your things your leaving." She smirked as Zoëlla burst out into laughter. “Baby mama, the only one who can ask me to leave is Ale or myself, not even his father because he didn't employ me, so once again you're welcome." She sat down as she sipped her orange juice. “Perra irrespetuosa.( Disrespectful bitch)" His father cussed as he stormed off with Jovena in tow. “You can come out guys, they're gone," Zoëlla called as Ale, Dante and Coco came out of the kitchen.

    “Abuelo, Estoy en casa!" Zoëlla called as she entered the house. She had missed this place so much. She remembered playing around with her cousins. “Mi hija." Her grandma hobbled down the stairs to hug her. “Abuela, te he echado de menos( Grandma, I've missed you), where's Abuelo?" She inquired from the older woman. “Estoy aquí zoëlla." He said joining his wife and granddaughter beneath the staircase. “It's good to have you home, ¿Dónde está el caballero del que hablabas? ( Where is the gentleman you spoke of)?" He asked her. “He would come to visit soon, grandpa, very soon." She assured him as they climbed up the stairs. “Hogar dulce Hogar." She murmured to herself. ~~ “Ale, where are you off to?"

    2 years later. “Mi hija, I understand you, and how you feel and I realise you're right. It's time you got married and started your own family. For the company, it's yours, your property now and you've proved to be competent and capable of handling it. How I wished your parents were here to see this." Her grandpa said. “Graçias Abuelo, and thank you and Abuela for everything, you've been the best parents one could ever ask for." She smiled holding his hands. “And you're been the best granddaughter, ever." Her Abuela said walking into the study. “Go get your man, Zoëlla." She said hugging her. Alejandro walked into his office in smiles. “Hey, Mrs Montreal." Ale teased Layla. She had gotten married to Pierre a year ago. “Hi, Ale." She smiled. “It's good to see you well again."

    A couple of weeks had gone by and Zoëlla was busy with meetings and projects. She wasn't talking to Alejandro that much because she went to work early and returned late, exhausted and hungry. Alejandro buried himself in work often. He didn't want to be idle, else he would be affected by Zoëlla's absence and her not able to return his calls often. That's not what she promised. He thought rubbing his temple. As if on cue, his phone rang displaying her Caller ID as he picked up the call. “Hola," He said. “Hola Ale, Como estas?" Zoëlla asked. “I'm well and you?" She could sense he wasn't happy. “Are you fine, you sound unhappy." She said “It's just I don't know what's going on anymore, it looks like we're too busy for each other these days as if we're drifting apart." He sighed. He was right. It seemed like their relationship was on hold. They all prioritised their jobs over what they shared and that wasn't going to help them at all. “Youre right Ale, I realised that also and I do

    “I'm going to be back before you know it," Zoëlla told him as he held her hands. “I know but, Te extrañaré(I will miss you), Zoëlla," Alejandro said. He went to see her off at the airport and insisted she took his private jet instead of boarding a plane. “I would miss you too Alejandro, I'm beginning to miss you." She smiled amid her sobs. “I'd have a surprise for you when you get back, greet Abuelo and Abuela for me, tell them I would come to see them soon." He said. “I will, but, I gotta go, Alejandro, " She said as she walked towards the jet. Her luggage was already inside. She turned and mouthed I love you to Ale who smiled as she climbed into the jet and waved. Within a few minutes, they took off as she looked out waving at them. Kathy and Steve helped Alejandro into the car as they drove home. “She would soon be back." She said rubbing his hand. “Hello," Alejandro said picking up his phone. “Hi, Sir the perpetrators have been caught and put behind bars." The police told h

    “...Por el Poder que se me ha otorgado, los declaro marido y mujer. Puedes besar a la Novia( ...By the Power that has been vested to me, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride )." The priest said as Coco and Dante kissed. They had wanted to push their wedding further but Zoëlla insisted they got married soon, rather than postponing it because of them. Her grandpa had been putting much pressure on her to take over the family business and she was running out of time. She was torn between the two, staying by Alejandro or leaving him behind. There was no way she was leaving him behind. But how could she make her Abuelo understand? She thought to herself. “Hello up there, what's going on?" Alejandro asked her as she was lost in her world. She wheeled him further from the crowd. It was time she told him so they could find a way forward. “Mi amor, what's wrong?" He asked. “It Abuelo, his health is failing and..." She trailed off sighing. “He wants you to come to take over

    Alejandro had been discharged from the hospital in a wheelchair. He had gone to work to monitor the progress. He was grateful to Zoëlla, Layla, Dante and Matilda. They had been the ones running the affairs of the company when he lay on his sickbed. Their stocks had risen higher than it was before. “Gracias por sus Buenos deseos ( Thank you for your good wishes)." He said to his board of directors. “And to you Dante, thank you for everything, you've proved to be a good brother and I owe you one," Alejandro added. “You're welcome, you would have done the same, or even much more for me." He tapped him on his back. “So Alejandro, with your current state are you going to stay home until you recover or you'd continue to work with us?" One of the members asked. “I've started away from work for far too long, I'm not going to let this accident be the reason I stop work, I would continue working." He firmly added as there was a round of applause in the room. Someone else would have found a

    Alejandro sneezed drawing the attention of Zoëlla and Maria. He was opening his eyes as Zoëlla rushed to call Coco. When they got back to the ward, his eyes were opened and he was adjusting to his surroundings. “Ma? Zoëlla? What happened?" He asked the women. “Shhh, relax," Zoëlla said as she tapped his legs but his reaction showed one that couldn't feel them. “C-can you feel my hands on your legs?" She asked him. “No, why can't I move my legs." He began to panic. The bullet was lodged in his spinal cord causing damage to it. “Coco?" Zoëlla looked at her friend for answers. “I'm sorry to break this to you but, the bullet caused damages to your spinal cord, thus affecting the movement of your legs." She announced. It was as if a pin had been dropped unto the floor. There was no sound from anyone. They were trying to process the news they had just heard. “Sal, necesito estar solo ( Get out I need to be alone)." He said softly. “Ale.." Zoëlla trailed off. “¡Salir! ( Get out!)" H

    Dante had scored yet another deal with the help of Layla, Matilda, Zoëlla and his fiancee, Coco. She had been a huge support to him during the previous years. They were to get married a couple of weeks ago and this happened to Alejandro, so they had to postpone the ceremony until further notice. He was glad at the way she handled the situation by being understanding. She was the doctor in charge of Alejandro. Monitoring him to see if he was improving or not.

    Alejandro lay in the ICU unconscious after his surgery. He had been shot by an unknown assailant when he was going on an important business meeting. Zoëlla stood behind the window numb. She couldn't cry, rant or say a word when she was informed about what had happened. To think everything was going on well after his father's denouncement and now this? His family and friends tripped in and out of the hospital to see if he was taken out of the ICU for the past three days. “Hey." Layla tapped her on the shoulder. “Layla, I've got a suitable candidate for this, Dante his younger cousin. He would be able to manage the company better than I do." She convinced. “That's not a bad idea, but I need to talk to him as soon as possible, the meeting was postponed after his accident, but they sent a letter this morning asking for a replacement.

    Zoëlla and Frank sat down in Alejandro's office as he offered them a cup of coffee. Just as he promised his board members, he had able to gain stability in his business, sealing this deal would top everything off. His empire would be much successful than it was before. Thank you, Fernando. Alejandro thought to himself. “May we get the final paperwork?" Zoëlla asked. She has sent a copy of the paperwork to Frank and Abuelo already. So they knew what it entailed and what they were in for. Layla handed her the documents as she went through making sure it was the same thing she had sent. Within a few minutes, they had signed the documents and sealed the deal. “Welcome on board," Ale said as he escorted them out of the building.
