Isabella's POV I laughed at myself for throwing a fit this morning as I stepped out of the kitchen to go get the dining table set.What an eventful morning, it wasn't totally my fault though, I was just pissed at the fact that I had not heard from Nate yet.Then me being me, I had lots of different unpleasant thoughts running through my head.I can't keep up with the feeling of not being wanted by Nate.What if he came to a realisation that I'm not up to his standard?Moreover, I'm just a mere maid working for him in his house.He might not just want to have anything to do with me anymore.Then I recalled our discussion the previous day.There was nothing suspicious about the call, if anything he was happy to hear from me.He had even corrected me from speaking about myself being his maid anymore but I should refer to myself as his girl.When he said it he had meant it or at the least that was what I decoded from our discussion.I can't keep myself from thinking about him.I have tri
Nate's POVSince Mother said she had discussed my coming with Father he seemed indifferent about it.It means I might need to set out a time one of these days to visit them in the house.Though I really do want to see my father, I don't want to have any clash with him because it seems like that is what we do when we see each other.He always has something to want to talk about concerning me and I really don't like it.Everything I do doesn't please him and I have not yet forgotten what he made me pass through because of the dealings that we do in the mafia world.He had cost me the loss of the love of my life then.I should make sure he doesn't get to have anything to do with Isabella so the past would not repeat itself.I just hope that I'm able to do that.I decided to call Isabella again but I only tried it once this time.She didn't answer still and I was worried sick.I felt like I had offended her since she refused to pick up my calls.Isabella's POV We had finished eating and
Isabella's POV.Thelma continued to tease me until she was satisfied and I did not bother to stop her because I knew that she wouldn't have listened to me.I was grateful for the thoughtfulness Nate has.I am grateful for the fact that he took out his time to explain himself to me and he apologised.I really loved it.He had made sure he cleared my doubts and worries.He set me straight on all the double thoughts I was having about him and I appreciate him for it.How can a person be so thoughtful and considerate of another person's feelings?I just need to wait a little bit more so I can confide in Thelma.Lots of time has passed and I and Thelma were in the room together.I felt like she was a lot more calm now and I could talk to her about my concerns.I decided to speak with her then.“ Thelma, I called. I have something I want to discuss with you”.It's been bothering me for a while though and I was worried about it.She looked at me with a serious face.She might have thought so
Isabella's POVSpeaking with Thelma has made me a lot more calm and confident in myself.I am happy I have such a wonderful and sweet soul around me.She's such a blessing to me and when I am asked to count my blessings I'm most definitely counting Thelma more than one time.She spoke to me cutting short my thoughts.Isabella, you know that things are not as easy as we would want it to be but out of what the ladies were talking about yesterday.What's that I asked as I could not remember the discussion she was referring to.She then replied to me.You know… the discussion about us establishing a restaurant for ourselves.Having something called out own.Having something set up that we can always fall back on.Oh yes… I nodded as I signified that I was following what she was saying.I think you should take an online course and start up with studies then we can grow from there.I would try to be with you all the steps of the way and I will also learn about the restaurant business so we
Isabella's POV What would I do about Thelma, I smiled and scoffed.I knew that speaking with Thelma at a time when she was cool and calm would be the best thing to do.She had really done well in putting me right.I knew the thing that I needed to work on for myself now.I have always known that not having a good educational background was going to be a big barrier for me in whatever it is I would want to do, then the fact that she has now categorically spelt it out, I do know now that it can be overemphasised then.It is definitely important, compulsory and necessary.I just pray that I can get help from Nate.I was deeply lost in my thoughts, I didn't even realise that Thelma was speaking to me.She had told me earlier that she was going to teach me something.I really don't know what they are but I could tell she was about to get into some nasty talk with me.Then she started.Isabella, the thing is you should get out of your shell first.You know, try to build a friendship with h
Isabella's POVAfter a long while, I am much more calm now.Thelma decided to engage the both of us.She said to me that we could start doing some surveys on everything that we wanted.That way when someone asks us we can give a rough explanation about it.She brought out her laptop from her bag. She then sat close to me.She began to surf the internet.She was checking for business plans and strategy ideas.The courses that we needed to take, the kinds of books to read, the proper things to put into consideration when starting up a business, ways by which we can have a profitable successful business and the like.I liked her drive and it inspired me to want to do more for myself.She was already a practising nurse and I'm just amazed at how far she has come and how far she is willing to go to bed just what she desires.She listed out a few things we saw on the internet concerning starting up a business after she then moved to the actual type of business.At first, I wondered why she
Making dinner with Thelma was fun, I enjoyed every bit of it.As soon as we were done cooking, we made all the necessary preparations and we served food to everybodyIt seemed to me like these old ladies had taken in the thoughts of always wanting me and Thelma to make dinner.It's some sort of a shared responsibility now, where they were fully in charge of breakfast, even though I and Thelma still render our help to them: While the dinner is solely left for the both of us to makeHow cunny of them, I scoffed.After dinner was prepared, we all ate and gist over the meal as usual.I cleared out the table with Thelma and cleaned up the kitchen. It was like we had some kind of routine now.We later joined the ladies in the living room for another movie time.A few minutes into the movie, I realized I hadn't come down with my phone.I had left my phone upstairs all this while, I had completely forgotten about it.This attitude of mine where I leave my phone in the room and I will be somew
Isabella's POVDon't you agree with me I asked her.I faced her squarely now to see her face properly.Her cheeks were all rosy red as a result of how flustered she was.I have made her somewhat uncomfortable and I could tell…It was like she didn't want to talk about it or she didn't just want to have the discussion altogether.If I think back now I can body say she has one way or the other avoided this kind of conversation between us about her.She wasn't as open to me as I was to her.That hurt me in some type of way.Did she think that I wasn't capable of being a shoulder she could rely on?Or she feels like talking to me will be a burden for me.If she thinks that way, then that will even hurt me more.“Isabella, she called”Yes, talk to me I answered with a concerned voice while I walked us both to the bed so we could sit.“ It is not like, I don't agree with you. In true talk, I do know that having a friend would be very nice”.“I would not dispute the fact that Andrew is a nic
