Chapter 3

   Melissa placed both palms on her open lips as she began to jump, she just couldn't contain her happiness. She looked at the girls that stared at her in surprise as she tried to compose herself.

   "What are you doing here?" She asked as she went back to her seat "I never expected to see you here"

  Jake only smiled, with a slight bow he refused to seat where Melissa had tapped for him to sit. He stared at her face in terror as he stood behind the rest girls, his hands were crossed in front of him and he forced himself to smile again.

   "I didn't expect to see you here either," He said with his head bowed, he looked up to her and stare at her face "I now work here ma'am" he paused "I am your chauffeur and I will drive you to school today"

   Melissa went rigid for a while, she was shocked beyond expectations. The last thing she had expected was Williams to allow her to leave her room much more going to school. She abandoned her meal and stood up, her stern gaze locked with Jake as she walked away.

   "Where are you going?" Jake asked as he went after her.

   "To have my bath" Melissa replied dryly "It's Indeed such a change," she said more to herself.

   As she walked to the door, someone was already standing in front of it to open it for her. She was about to complain when Monica rushed to them with a phone, she stared at Melissa's face then at Jake who stood still.

   "If it's Williams, just give it to him," She said as she walked into her room.

  She heard Jake talk to the person on the phone and with the way, he added respect in every word she was sure it's nobody but Williams.

  She rushed to the bathroom to grab her brush then she realized it was wet, a faint smile appeared on her face as she remembered she have had her bath that morning and brushed her teeth as well. She rushed back to the room and began to stare at the cloth in the closet.

   After changing the fifth outfit, Melissa decided to wear something different. When she had her former life, she prefer to were oversized clothes and something hidden so people won't notice her. She loved dark colors and would always cover her red hair but this time she rather goes for something different.

   She didn't bother to apply to make-up as she had not been a fan of one, not that she didn't wish to but the only makeup she knows how to apply is lips gloss. She doesn't even know how to apply the lipstick well without ruining her face or breaking the stick.

   Melissa stood in front of the mirror as she admire herself in her revealing outfit. The yellow gown barely covered her thighs and was armless, the neck was so down that her cleavage could be seen from afar. She combed her hair down and let them pour over her shoulders, she climbed on a black boot heel and turned around checking how seductive she looked.

   "Mr. Hughes won't be happy to see you in those," Monica said from behind causing her to startle a bit "I don't mean to scare you but Master would get pissed if he sees you on that"

   Melissa gasped, she looked at herself pretending not to know what Monica was talking about. She put her hands in her breast and pulled them out a little bit, shook them, and turned to Monica.

   "If he doesn't want me to wear them why did he have them there at the first place" She sounded pissed, seeing the girl had nothing else to say, she walked to her "Please pardon my manners, it's just the fun of going out again"

   Immediately she opened the door she found Jake giving orders to some group of men, some looked younger, some older while some just like him. He seem not to notice Melissa until the men left then he turned.

  Jake's jaw dropped, he kept swallowing like his throat produce water and he had a priceless emotion on his face. If he had been lighter-skinned, his face would have been red but he was not, so he gently shook his head in embarrassment and cleared his throat.

   "Your bag is in the car," He said, he looked at Monica who stood close to Melissa's room door, and smiled "Did she not tell you how the dress look?"

   Melissa scoffed, she flipped her hair dramatically and walked towards one of the girls, she pulled the ring off her finger and gave it to the girl.

   "Be my ring bearer?" she said and head to the door, while walking she kept pulling down her dress "I swear I won't be able to pick up a pen with this" she grumbled with a slight frown on her face.

   She paused on getting to a point where she saw more than three doors, she looked back at Jake who was already behind her. Her doubt released as she followed him to the left door, a small chuckle escaped her lips as she realized she had wanted to take the wrong door.

   Who knew if the middle one would be her doom.

   "Thank you," she said as Jake opened the door of a pink Lamborghini for her, she sat comfortably and smiled "You are such a gentleman," she said to him as he entered the front seat and start the car.

   From the back Melissa sat, she had been dying to ask Jake how he happen to start working for Williams when they almost fought on the day of her ballet presentation. She kept staring at his straight face in the front mirror and each time he looks up, she looks away in fear.

   "you want to ask how I managed to get in his trap?" Jake said "Well, it's because of you" it sounded more like a snap.
