When Hailey walked past the study room, she paused at the door and pushed it open. But the place was empty, no one was inside. So she decided to look for him downstairs, she wouldn't believe he didn't eat breakfast before going to work. He must be in the dining room.She turned around to leave the study room, but something caught her eye from a corner.It was a white bag. Wait– wasn't it the white bag she'd seen the Butler hiding last night? Hailey halted in her footsteps and she started biting at her fingers. Her eyes darted between the door and the white bag which was sitting at the farther end of the couch. 'Urgh.' she let out an exasperated sound and scratched at her head. She had learned her lesson from last night. Kendrick didn't look pleased when he caught her eavesdropping. She had to mind her business.It might be something confidential, therefore, she would only dig a hole for herself. She didn't also like that her curiosity instincts had immediately heightened at the sig
*****The drones buzzed ahead reflecting several shades of light. Golden color, sapphire blue, and violet. It was perfect. There were thousands of them flying around the tech room. And with one press of the remote, they all converged to the front and formed a circle. Kendrick pressed the switch again, and the machines swirled and the shape transformed into a rectangle. Then came another shape, and another. The drones took various forms with a press of the remote, behind them was the large wall propped as the night sky. And the drones were like the stars, forming outstanding constellations. "Fantastic." A clap sounded in the room as the displays came to a stop. "I told you I'd do a great job, Buddy." Devon stood beside Kendrick and patted him on the shoulder."Good. You did a great job," Kendrick said to his assistant and gave her the remote. "Th–Thank you, Sir. I'm glad you liked it," Rosslyn smiled. "I didn't do much, Mr. Carter has all the credits." "Yes, tell him, Ro." Devon
"What's bugging you." Devon left the drones alone and came forward. "You look– how should I put it?" His face formed a frown. "You look tired.""Do I?" Kendrick raised a brow. Devon tilted his head and shrugged. "Maybe. I don't know. I should be imagining things." His face creased into a smile then he nodded at the phone in Kendrick's hand. "That phone call. Was that the baby Mama? How is she now?" Still the same? Kendrick wouldn't put it as that. Except for her newfound hobby of sniffing around his secrets, she never showed any riot since her appointment with the doctor. And since that little war in his home. "She's doing well," Kendrick answered. "I bet she is." Devon gave a sarcastic smile. "I have a feeling you're hiding something. You're not all lovey-dovey, I can sense it. You should have gone with my plans you know?" Kendrick shook his head and started walking out of the tech room. If he had used those plans, there was no doubt she would have fled to somewhere even he coul
*****The Next Day...Hailey woke up to find the bed empty. Urgh! Kendrick was gone again. She really needed to speak with him.Her thoughts went back to yesterday when the therapist visited. Her body shuddered at the remembrance. Urgh! That man. Kendrick was so shameless. She couldn't believe he'd told the therapist everything. And when she said everything, she meant he left nothing out.He had spilled every bit of the information to the lady. Including that night at the bar. And how she had brought doom to herself by throwing herself into his arms. Kendrick did not spare even tiny information. And things were awkward at first. Even though the therapist was a young lady, probably her own age, Hailey found it hard to speak at first.Not when Kendrick had made her seem like the pervert. But then, she had slowly warmed up to the conversation as the lady went on to tell her that she hadn't been the first person to come down with trauma after a first time, especially when it was so sca
Whatever was in there, it was a top-notch secret. She turned off the stoves as all her cuisines were done one after another. Some staff would come inside and walk out now and then. And even Kara would come to take more snacks out of the fridge.Everyone had been quite busy. No one even paid anyone attention.Hailey was finally done with her work and she sat back on the stool again. She even brought out her phone to play with it, still the therapist's words flooded her senses. She honestly needed to do something about her thinking process. Even Rick came inside to check on her and had paced back and forth in the kitchen. Hailey didn't pay him any attention. If it was in previous days, she would have tried to strike up a conversation with him, even though his answers were always monotonous and their conversation would only stray to his boss. Right now though, the words in her head were even enough to keep her occupied. Time flew by and when the sun was high above the sky, Hailey wa
They were so beautiful and Oh– she wanted to get one for her baby. "Hailey, come on." Kara tugged at her arm. "Let's make a bet fast before it comes to an end." Hailey swatted her friend's hands off. She didn't want to miss even a second of it. The things had now changed to another shape, they looked like stars in their silver lights. She never expected Kendrick to be interested in techs. Come to think of it, there wasn't even a robot in the mansion. Only his parents seemed to prefer the technology lifestyle. They didn't have a lot of servants but machines were everywhere in the villa. The drones show continued, it didn't seem to stop anytime soon. Hailey had seen drones before. They weren't a new thing. But she had never seen these kinds of designs. If she could covet some for herself– no, her baby. If she could covet some for her baby, that would be fantastic. "Hailey," Kara called her out, snapping her out of her daze. She chuckled and pointed at Hailey's face. "You're dro
"Hailey!?" Kara flailed her hands in exasperation. Hailey placed both hands on her waist and after her breath returned to normal, she held Kara's shoulders and gave her a serious look. "Kara, do you think there's a possibility that my drink was spiked that night?" She asked.Kara's face only contorted into confusion. "Where is that coming from? Are you speaking about that night at the bar?" "Yes." Hailey nodded. "The therapist told me my drink might have been spiked which was why I couldn't remember anything. I can't stop thinking about it, seriously. I mean, who would spike my drink?" "Wait– you saw a therapist?" Kara's confusion only grew. She looked as if she wasn't getting anything Hailey was saying. She looked stunned and taken aback."Yes, Kendrick got me one." Hailey gave her an urgent nod. And she was about to go on speaking when Kara interrupted her. "Why would he get you a therapist?" Kara's expression instantly transformed to that of worry. "Hailey, are you alright? Is
They were laughing and drinking and chatting, no one even noticed her. Hailey stood at the same spot, taking everything in with wonder. She was still standing there when Rick came and walked past her to join the party. She called out his name to ask what was going on, but he didn't hear her as her voice was drowned out by the loud people. A lively atmosphere hung in the air, it was infectious."Madam, you're back." It was the Butler that first noticed her. He picked up the remote and turned down the volume while the other servants turned their heads in her direction. Hailey smiled and walked forward as they all stood up and greeted concurrently. And she was left baffled again when they started muttering words of congratulations. Did something big happen? She frowned again.The Butler must have read her confusion as he cleared his throat. "Didn't you see the news, Madam?" He said. "We're celebrating Master's victory.""Oh." Hailey nodded in realization. Of course, she had seen t
