    "Nothing. Just surprised to see you here"

    "Am I not welcomed here?

    "You are. Forgive my manners. You know.. it's dream come true to have a celebrity visit my house"

    "What? You're crazy. You see everyday and you work with me . It's no big deal coming to your house. We're more like friends"

    "What are you talking about? Not Jayden. Goodness Brittany... I'm just bored"

    "And I'm boring. I do boring stuffs"

    "You wanna learn? Okay. No problem. I'll teach you how to knit and do embroidery. Especially how to knit baby sweaters"

    "Yes but right now? Okay,.let me update my status to learning how to knit from a professional. Should we go live?

    "Okay. Are we there?

    "Oh. I see...quite okay"

    "You're not impressed?

    "I thought it was huge, like uhmmm.

    "Hey! It's a room not a department in a fashion company. So what should we do?

    "I wanna learn how to knit. I want to knit a sweater for Gavin and give it to him on Christmas"

    "Oh my. So sweet of you. Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll be perfect at knitting. So sha we begin?

    "Yes I'm ready"

   "I'll get the knitting materials"

   "Yes boss. I know it's gonna be fun"

   "I'm back. Let's start"

   "Yes ma'am. I hope I'll make a nice sweater"

    "I hope so. Now pay attention to what I do"

   "Yes. Tell me...who taught you how to knit?

    "Grandma. She taught me and I made a living by knitting stuffs and selling them. I learnt embroidery from watching videos. Mum taught me how to see. So I combined them all and made a living. I had come to the agency to deliver some clothes to Margarita that's when I saw you for the first time in reality"

     "Really?

   "Yes. I was so excited..even though I saw your practicing your runway walk. But I was happy to have seen you that day"

    "Wow! I was pleased to meet you. Having you as my PA made my life a lovely one"

   "Thank you. Now concentrate let's do this"

    "Yes boss"

Arianna was quite fast at learning..she was able to make a sweater. She stopped to drink some water when her eyes fell on the wal clock. She couldn't believe that she has spent hours at Brittany's house. She dropped the cup and turned to Brittany.

     "Goodness...the time went so fat6

. it's 4pm already. Now I get why I was so hungry"

   "Let's eat then"

    "Sure. Please make something for us to eat while pack these up"

   "Yes ma'am" Brittany dropped what she had and left for the kitchen.

   "Goodness... I'm so tired. I need a nap"

Arianna picked up her bag and left for the kitchen after arranging the room. Brittany served her some food. Arianna dropped her bag and rushed to the dining room and had her seat.

    "Let's dig in" Arianna said

    "Hold on. You didn't pray"

     "Pray? I'll pray while I eat"

    "Missy. Don't you pray before you eat? You usually do that. Have you stopped? It's been five years since you stopped doing so"

    "Blame my new family who caused this"

   "Wow! They influenced our influencer"

    "Can we stop talking and pray? I'm starving and hey..short prayers"

    "Yes. Shall we pray? Good. In Jesus name. Lord... Arianna.. don't eat.. I'm watching you"

   "My eyes are closed"

    "Okay. Dear Lord, we thank you for the lovely meal , we ask that you provide for the poor and those who are lacking. Thank you for the wonderful meal. We're grateful Lord. Amen"

    "Amen. Let's dig in"

   "Slow down Missy"

    "This is delicious. Real homemade food. Brittany stop calling me Missy. I'm Mrs Arianna... don't call me Missy. Call me Ari, get it?

   "Yes boss. Sorry for using Missy on you"

   "Man..this is so good. I'll be needing more'

    "I've never seen you eat this way before"

    "Even at my husband's house. The truth is I tend to eat a lot in a comfortable place"

    "So, you're comfortable in my middle class house?

   "This place is great. It's quiet and lovely. I like it. More like a vacation home. Everything here is so nice simple with warm designs"

   "Thanks for the compliment"

   "I'm being honest. More please... please"

   "Okay. I'll get more food for you"

   "Thanks. You're a real darling"

    "I'm glad that you enjoy the food"

   "I do. I miss food like this. Tired of dieting"

   "Here. Enjoy"

   "Don't you want more?

   "No. I'm fine . I'll eat more later"

   "Okay. I wanna say thank you for making my day today. Today was fun. Thanks for teaching me how to knit and also making a wonderful lunch for me. I'll leave once I'm done eating"

    "Okay. Is your husband picking you up?

    "No. My driver. He'll be here soon"

   "That's okay. Hey slow down on that food. You might child on it. You're a celebrity. If you don't listen.. I'll video you"

   "Go ahead. Let me enjoy this meal. Got it"

   "Yes. I got it"

Arianna arrived home . She was really tired and wasn't ready for any questions from Nora or taunts from Samantha. She looked around before making her way to the room.

    "Everywhere seems quiet. None of the family members is home yet. This is good." She tried taking a step when she felt a hand on her shoulder and she screamed.

    "It's Nora. Nora your sister in-law"

   "You. Gush.. you scared everything in me. Goodness. Why do that? Don't sneak up on me like that. Got it?

    "My bad. Where are you coming from?

    ""Why are you questioning me? I'm a model and a famous one. Why do you wanna know my whereabouts?

    "I'm sorry if it was rude of me to ask"

    "Really rude. I'll be upstairs"

   "Hold on. Arianna..I wanna be  model"

   "What? Model? C'mon, not possible"

    "Why? Do I look fat?

    "Fat? No. Gavin is against it. Five years ago..he was mad at me for coaching you on how to a model walks. He might hurt me if I start coaching me you again"

    "He won't find out. I promise"

    "He will. Trust me Nora. He will. I would love to help you but I can't go against Gavin's orders"

    "Please..."

   "I can't do this. Don't put me under pressure , Nora x

   "Fine. I understand" Nora turned to leave.

    "Why do I even care about her thoughts when he doesn't care about me. Flaunting his orders is just living my life as I wish and I can use the opportunity seduce him. I know what to do" she mumbled to herself. "Wait Nora. I agree. I'll coach you"

    "What about Gavin's orders?

    "Oh forget about that. We'll start training tomorrow"

    "Thank you Ari" she hugged Arianna "I'm so happy x

    "Yes you should be. I'll go get some rest"

  "Sure. We you later"

   "Yeah. Later"

Arianna went in and shut the door. She dropped her bag on the bed and removed her shoes. She heard voices outside and went to the door. She heard Gavin's voice and smiled. She listened to the conversation he was having with someone.  Then she heard goodnight and rushed to the wardrobe. She counted three and the door opened  . She quickly began to undress .

Gavin walked in and shut the door. He dropped his bag on the chair and removed his neck tie. He felt a presence and scanned the room and saw Arianna standing close to the wardrobe in her innerwears. Arianna pretended not to notice his presence, unhooked her bar. Gavin turned backing her. Arianna smiled and walked into the bathroom. Gavin turned back and noticed her gone. He, without thinking, rushed to the bathroom. Arianna turned immediately placing her hands on her chest. Gavin felt stuck. What has he done. Arianna was quite surprised.

    "Can't you knock? How dare you walk in on me naked? This is literally the third time! Arianna yelled

    "My goodness. I'm sorry"

   "Sorry?

   "Yes. I'll leave then. I'm sorry for doing this."

Gavin rushed out of the bathroom and shut the door.

    "What have I done? You're stupid Gavin. Why do I keep on doing this? I hate myself. Hold on..not again...I feel happy. Why do I have the feeling of going back inside and make out with her? No. I won't do that. Get a hold of yourself Gavin. I'll use the bathroom in the guest room. Maybe... I should sleep there too. I'll do that"
