She nodded and hurried toward Sarah’s room, she had been overseeing the cleaning and rearrangement of the room the moment she left Clarisse at the dining hall. Not that there was much to put in order as all the guest rooms in the walker's mansion underwent daily cleaning, even though they were always empty, the servants cleaned them just in case of impromptu visits just as this one.

In Love Again 47: A FLIRT
Alvira looked behind her to make sure no one was following before she quietly slipped into the dressing room. She headed for the maid's locker and tuned the lock according to the numbers she had seen the maid tune it to. The lock opened obediently and she saw the green sachet of the tea bag, along with the check. Alvira frowned at the tea bag and picked it up. She examined it closely and realized it was a normal tea bag, a popular one at that. She had even drunk it herself a few times, there was no issue with it. It was sealed and it was even the company's original product, so she knew its content hadn’t been compromised. She turned it over and read the ingredients, hoping to see something different, but it was the same as the ones she had seen in the past. Her frown deepened, as she saw it contained nutritious herbs. "Did I hear wrongly?" She muttered to herself, then looked at the check within the locker. She picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed a million-dollar check.
In Love Again 48: A BIGGER PLOT
A few minutes later, Alvira rested against the rail of the balcony and looked up at the starless sky, Simon sat not far from her but rather than stare at the sky he had proposed to want to see, he found her more fascinating. Alvira could feel his burning gaze on her back and felt a little awkward to be the subject of his attention, so much so that she didn’t dare to look at him, she just kept looking forward. The dark sky had clouds that covered the stars totally and made it obvious that it would rain sooner or later. Alvira didn’t know why she had been invited to stare at a starless sky but she felt warm in her heart that he had taken the initiative to make her spend time with him. Why was she concerned about this? She didn’t know, and she wasn’t going to worry herself about the answer to that question. She probably just wanted to spend time with him because he used to be her patient and had grown on her, she thought and nodded in agreement with the thought. After standing there f
In Love Again 49: FINALLY GONE CRAZY?
Alvira rose early the next morning with the other maids even though she didn't have a good night's sleep. She had turned around in bed all night unable to sleep as she kept remembering Clarisse's news of Lana’s return. After turning around in her bed for a long time that night, she finally sat up on her bed and wondered what was wrong with her. Why she was seriously bothered by Lana’s return? She had already begun to suspect that she had feelings for Simon last night but now, she couldn’t help but come to terms with her feelings. But she felt a little pathetic. Simon never approached her, he obviously didn’t feel anything for her or like her. Even that day when they had an encounter in the Jacuzzi, he didn’t seem to be affected by her at all. He was probably enduring her because she used to be his caregiver and because he treated her badly in the past.Since that was the case, it was obvious that if she went down this path, she would only end up hurting herself. She didn’t think she
In Love Again 50: UTTERLY SPEECHLESS
Everyone in the room looked at the spilled tea in surprise at first, not yet out of the shock they felt at what she did, while they were still recovering, Alvira picked up the teapot and smash it on the floor too.“Alvira!” Madam Sarah could not help but shout in anger. Alvira who had just calmed down from the adrenaline and fear that took control of her body looked at Simon with worry but then she was sure that he hadn't drunk the tea yet and heaved a sigh of relief. She turned to Madam Sarah and then turned to Clarisse. Clarisse who had been staring at her as she was a little shocked at her actions, immediately realized what had happened, Alvira had seen her, no worse still, she seem to have heard everything and knew about her plot. She saw the accusing look on Alvria's face and realized the girl who had been breathing heavily wanted to point her fingers at her and speak, she immediately stood up and slapped her across the face. Creating more shock waves around the remaining pe
In Love Again 51: A FAILED PLAN
Alvira walked down the long corridor that led to the maids’ changing room slowly, after that slight interrogation with the Walkers, she had gone to carry out her assigned chores in Simon’s room hoping that the order of her being fired would reach her there but until now she hadn't heard anything. She decided to change her clothes and tried to look for Linda hoping to confront her but she didn’t find the woman anywhere. She was sure the woman must have suspected that she knew their plans and had fled the mansion to save herself. Alvira sighed, it was good for her to go home. After all, if she hadn’t stopped Simon from drinking the tea, she would have still been fired for poisoning him. She sighed as she left the kitchen in a hurry to leave the mansion especially since all the maids were giving her accusing looks. "Miss Avira, hi." She heard someone greet her nervously and lifted her head to see the butler, Jared standing in front of her with a smile. Her brows rose slightly in surpri
In Love Again 52: A SEALED KISS
Simon sat silently in the car that drove him back to the Walkers’ mansion as he went through a series of documents on his iPad. Asher who had made it his job to drive him, glance at him from time to time through the rearview mirror but didn't say anything. He had noticed how oddly silent Simon had been since he got to work that morning, and as much as he wanted to ask what had happened, he knew to restrain himself. If Simon wanted him to know he would have told him. At least he knew that much from following him all these years. Simon let out a sigh and looked out the window at the bustling city as the car rode by and he suddenly felt slightly irritated. In fact, he had been feeling this irritated since breakfast this morning. He was too irritated to involve himself in the drama that had ensued that morning. He couldn't stand seeing schemers pretending to be innocent. "Take me to Alvira's home." He suddenly said and Asher was a little shocked, but he still obeyed turning the car a
