Chapter 41: HOME ASSISTANTSylvia quickly stood up when she saw Fred approaching the water fountain.“Let’s go!” he said and walked past her like lightning.“Okay.” She replied and hurried after him. By the time Sylvia arrived at the parking lot, Fred had already mounted the driver’s seat and was creating imaginary circles on the speedometer. Sylvia sat beside him in front.“So tonight Fest is held at the famous New York square.” She began while slipping the seat belt around her.“Don’t worry. G****e map is going to lead us right there.” Fred replied and tapped the monitor in front of him.“Forget the app. As a New Yorker, I need you to sit tight and navigate based on my command. That way, I can show you some cool places around here and it will be like a mobile tour.”“Not today.” Fred sharply replied and turned away. He started the car and before Sylvia could speak, he turned on the car radio, relegating her voice to the background. He then began to wheel the car away from the mansio

David was tracing his way back to his room when he heard sobs emanating from through the wall. He moved closer to the kitchen, placed his left ear on the door, and could hear the sobs getting louder.He began to land several knocks on the door.Alerted by the knocks, Sylvia quickly got off the floor and resolved to wipe her tears with the edge of her palms. She then hurried to the sink and began to wash her face while the knocks persisted.“I’m coming, Mili.” She hurried to the door and pushed it open.“Master David!” Sylvia called out in surprise. She quickly moved away from the door with her gaze fixated on the floor.David cleared his throat loudly and stepped inside the kitchen. He studied the area for a few seconds and darted his gaze back to Sylvia.“Are you the only one here?”She quickly lifted her head. “Yes, sir!”David surveyed her for a moment. Her face was wet and her eyes had traces of red coloration in them. It was evident that she had cleaned up after he knocked on t

Leonard and Fred were sharing a glass of red wine in the luxurious living room when June walked in. It was a few minutes past 5 pm.“Hi!” Leonard hailed her the moment she walked in. She gave a weak smile and pointed at the staircase leading to her wing. “I’ll go clean up and see you guys.” She said and left before Leonard could utter another word. She was wearing dark spectacles. Fred concluded that she wore the dark spectacle to shield her swollen eyes. Meanwhile, immediately after Castro took her out of the bar, Fred left.Immediately after June left for her room, David barged into the living room with a broad smile. Leonard quickly stood up. He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen David that delighted. “You got the deal!” Fred guessed and hurried toward David. They took each other in a warm embrace. “Yes!” Leonard yelled in victory. David stood before his father. “Our deal with Famzy International shipping brand is sealed.”Leonard gave David a soft pat on the ba

“Leave!” Leonard commanded with his malicious eyes fixated on the corner where all the domestic servants were crouched. Fred acknowledged Leonard’s command from his spot and left while June was lost. Wasn’t she a part of the family? She sighed and headed to her room wondering why David’s mom had to show up. As far as she was concerned, David hated her and doesn’t speak about her. They got the message and quickly took to their heels, dispersing across various exits of the living room except for Sylvia. After getting the chance to finally come in contact with her prime lead, she wasn’t going to let such an opportunity pass her by. While the servants were scampering, Sylvia rushed to the dining and was soon pretending to set the table. Meanwhile, she hadn't even fixed breakfast yet. Leonard and his son descended the stairs at the same time while Cathrina watched them with a mischievous smile. Sylvia had moved to the dining and was fake setting the napkins while her ears had travele

Fred exhaled and moved to a corner adjacent to the door. Right now, he needed to get his eyes on June not have a pep talk with Eleanor but perhaps, a two minutes talk might suffice.Eleanor joined him at the corner looking all nervous and Fred was surprised. A woman who had boldly stripped before a stranger should not be having sweat teamed up on her forehead because she wanted to speak. He watched her take deep breaths and then try to fix her gaze on him. Eleanor cleared her throat loudly and began. “I want to apologize to you.”Fred had to arch a brow to communicate how stunned he was.She smiled weakly.He sighed in relief. Well, thank goodness she was back to her senses. She must have realized that they won’t work.“I don’t want you to see me that way….“I don’t see you in any way.” Fred sharply replied. What was she thinking? Did she think he was going to judge her by one act of mischief?“I understand where you are coming from Eleanor. It’s just that you took the wrong approac
