Lucy.I was standing at the front gates of my house waiting for the person Mr. Christian said would come and pick me up. I wouldn't have mind, if he came by himself. I don’t know whom he wanted to come pick me up. What if it's someone who isn't trustworthy?Who would come and take me somewhere else, other than Mr. Christian's home. Well, no hard feelings. I was trying to be positive. I stood there, waiting for whoever would come. I had just two bags of clothes with me, one was red and the other black. It was so difficult for me to convince my mother about this new plan. However I had to explain everything to her detaily.I had even called Majorie to come by my side as backup. And guess what? My mother only listened when she spiced the whole thing up.Majorie was the one who made me change my mind about taking the offer. Hence, she was in a better position to convince my mother to let me leave. I didn't tell her what has been transpiring between Mr. Frederick and I. I
Lucy.It took almost another ten minutes before the lady called Ophelia made her way to the living room, where I was seated patiently and waiting for her. I was expecting to see a middle-aged woman, someone in their early forties, fifties, and so on, but she looked nothing like that. She looked 35 or so. She had thick black hair, which was pulled up into a high ponytail, as others would leave the rest of their hair loose, hers was wrapped in a bun. She had golden skin, thick eyebrows, long latches, and a good body figure that could win a modeling competition. She looked quite stressed out.“You are welcome, Miss Lucy if I’m not mistaken”She welcomed me, sending a sweet smile my way. I got up from the couch as she walked towards me.She extended her hand, which I took, and shook, feeling awkward inside because I thought shaking hands was for men, while women went with hugs.However, next time, if she feels the need to do that again, I will just tell her to go with the hu
Christian. I was supposed to go pick Lucy up myself, however I had to go see Kevin. My father had called earlier saying that Salvador will be back in town. I was happy because I couldn’t handle driving around, with the everyday thoughts in my head. If I continue like this I might end up in an accident. I had offered Miss Juliet some money as my own condolence. She told me that she lost her friend who was like a sister to her and so on. I drove her up to her house and from there I went directly to the hospital. Doctor Mark was present because I had informed him that I would be coming. My brother stayed in that hospital for too long. I needed him to come home. I wouldn't mind hiring a nurse to take care of him in the house. I was finding it difficult to stay in the house alone without having him. I was scared that Nadia might pop up at any time or even disguise and come take him away .That's something that I can't let happen. Aside from my father and Salvador, Kevin
Lucy.As I thought, the food Ophelia had made was quite delicious. when she was serving she had put some in food flasks and kept it on the kitchen island. I thought she wanted to take it to her home, until when I asked, she told me it was for Mr. Christian. I doubted why he didn't eat with us, because when he told me to go meet the others for dinner, I thought he would come down to join us, but he never did. It was my first day at his house, so I didn’t want to dwell on matters that did not really concern me and mind my business, though I always find it difficult at times to mind my business. When I woke up the next morning, the first thing I did was to go to the kitchen, because right now I was still confused as to what to start working with, or where to start working.I didn’t have a talk with Mr. Christian last night, before he went to sleep. After he had told me that his gym was admirable but forbidden to go inside, he went up the stairs and never came back. He wa
Lucy. As I walked forward, Mr. Christian got out of his own side of the car, while Salvador followed behind him . Salvador's hand around Mr. Christian's neck, made stopped for a moment and examine the action. Were they a gay couple or something. How could a man hold another man as such?. Notwithstanding, I walked quietly behind them.Once I reached the door I stood outside, making sure to not be seen as I peeked my head inside. I saw Mr. Christian sitting on one of the gray couches in the living room with his head resting on the edge of the couch. Salvador was standing in front of him. It looked like he was trying to persuade Mr. Christian to do something. I stood at the door and watched what was going on.“You can stay like this. I even opted to take you to the hospital but you denied . At least you should have some drugs”I overheard Salvador talking to Mr. Christian. Oh, he was sick I guess or why else would Salvador be telling to have some drugs. Perhaps it was that
Christian.I didn’t understand why this girl was so stubborn. It was just a migraine and I would be fine, but she wouldn't just let me be. She came knocking repeatedly on my door and when the knocking died down I thought she had finally listened to what I said and went back downstairs, not up to ten minutes, she was back again and knocking on my door repeatedly. I was so determined to give her a good slap but when I opened the door and saw her standing there with a tray of food in her hands and what looked to be medicine inside the tray, and gave up on all hope of sending her away.Her next words send me blinking my eyes. Was she serious? Even if I wanted to fire her, I don't think I would. ‘Should eat the food and if you want to give me after that, then I have no problem. At least, I tried my best.”She confidently told me; with determination and I knew that there was nothing I could do to stop her until she completed her mission. I thought this stubbornness of hers, stop
Lucy.I had gone up yesterday about three times to check up on Mr. Christian even though he had said that it was forbidden to go up unless he told me to. However, I was not the type to listen to such instructions, when matters like a person's health are concerned. He was not feeling well and needed someone to constantly check up on him. I wouldn't just stay here and neglect him. Maybe he would like to reconsider his rules because many of them were sick rules.I was present in the kitchen, heating the food that Ophelia had made for Christian to eat, before leaving for work, but he didn't.I took out the food from the deep freezer that was in a transparent white container and strolled with it to the kitchen island, where I had kept a frying pan to put the food inside.With the food inside the pan, I took it over to the stove and lit it up, before standing the pan on the blue flames.I did that with utmost concentration such that you wouldn't notice if a person walked into the kitc
Christian. I have never worked with someone as thoughtful as Lucy. She did things out of her what she is supposed to do. Bringing my food to the office, Insisting that I take my medication was not in her job description. Even after I had told her that I would be fine, she kept insisting. No one has ever done that to me.Well, maybe that was just how she was brought up, to be considerate. Because that's a consideration. I couldn’t complain. I was in my office and constantly checking the time on my wristwatch. I have a meeting with Mr. Maxwell, later on in the day. George had told me that everything was ready, to begin the building of the dam. What I needed at t was money to pay the workers so that they could start building it.It was finally 6 PM. I set up to go. After the meeting with Mr. Maxwell,I have to meet the owner of the temple moto.I should have met him before now, but I was just quite busy with my brother and his arrangement to come back home. I know i
