Chapter 45
He sighed and reached his hand to tap her shoulder.
“Huh?” she opened her eyes and stared at the driver in confusion.
“Miss, we’ve arrived!” he announced and took her luggage.
“Oh,! Thanks for waking me up. I got carried to La-la land.” she said with a smile and alighted from the car.
Fresh air mixed with refreshing scent of different flowers hit her nose. Her eyes lit up in delight.
“The air here is so good and refreshing! How come I didn’t notice last time?” she thoought and spread her hands sideways to enjoy the breeze.
“Ah, I love this place!” she muttered.
“Miss, please follow me.” the driver interrupted her and she put her hands down with an apology.
“It’s fine. Let’s go,” the driver took the lead in waliing into the huge home.
Vanessa sighed after almost being blinded by the luxury she was witnessing. It was like she was the cheapest thing here.
She quickly cleared her head of the distracing thoughts and followed the driver into the entrance where a bodyguard accompanied her; following slowly from behind.
“Em… Please don’t mind me asking. Is the boss around?” she turned around and asked the bodyguard.
“Miss, which of the bosses are you asking about?’ the driver asked.
“Err, are there two bosses?” she asked in confusion. How coe she didn’t know of that? Suddenly, her eyes widened in realization.
“You mean Lisa and her dad?” she asked for confirmation and the two men nodded.
“Let’s say… I’m asking about both.”
“None of them are around. You can rest assured Miss.” th bodyguard said with a scary voice. Vanessa nearly jumped.
What sort of voice was that? He shouldn’t be working as a bodyguard. He should be acting horror mivies. Gosh!
“Ahem! Sorry for startling you miss. I have a cold.”the boyguard said.
“Oh! Sorry. May you recover well, sir.” she said and turned around.
“Like I believe you. Just admit it”s your natural voice.” she scoffed internally.
5 minutes later, she was shown her room and the door closed behind her.
She was stupefied.
“Thi… This is my room? I… It’s so unbelievable. I’ Vanessa…. get to sleep in this fancy room?” she rushed to the bed and jumped into it.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The bed was so soft and comfy.
“Ah! I love this.” she squealed like a kid.
She got off the bed and decided to check out other stuff in the room.
It had a changing room loaded with all sorts of female stuff. From lingerie to skirts, gowns, night clothes, event gowns, shirts, trousers and sanitary products.
She touched the fabric of the clothes and lingerie.
“Ah! The best quality.” she exclaimed in her head.
She tried on a yellow gown designed with gold lace and it fit her perfectly.
“This Jack… he’s not too bad.” she smiled to herself. Admiring the pretty her in the mirror.
After a while, she headed to the bathroom and was so glad to see a bath tub. The toilet looked so holy.
“Oh my gosh!” she exclaimed and reached her hand to touch the flush button.
Water came from the tank and flushed down the former water. It didn’t even make a sound. The bathroom smelled like peaches. She loved peaches!
She picked up the silky smooth towel and bathrobe. It smelled so good and super soft.
“Ah, so this is what being ich means.” she muttered and used the towel to touch her face.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
“Eh? Who’s that?” she asked.
“Please open up, Miss.” a voice on the other side said.
“Seriously?” Vanessa muttered under her breath and headed to the door to open the bathroom door.
Upon doing so, she saw two nannies carrying her luggage.
“What are you guys doing?’ she asked.
“Eh…. Boss Jack had commanded that you are a guest and hence, should be in the guest room.” said a brunette nanny.
“You… Isn’t this a guest room?” she asked in confusion.
“Yeah. But there are different grades and the one assigned to you isn’t this one. Sorry, Miss.” the nannies apologized.
Vanessa sighed and left the bathroom.
“Please follow us to your true room, Miss.” a black-haired nanny said politely.
Vanessa followed the nannies to a secluded part of the big home and then a bodyguard who was already waiting for them, opened the door.
Upon entering, Vanessa’s face darkened.
“Is this… my true room?” she asked in disbelief.
It was only a little bigger than her former rented tiny apartment.
It had a small bed with two pillows. A wardrobe and there was a bathroom. She entered and saw that there was no bath tub or shower head. Just a tap which seemed like it could spoil any moment.
She looked at the toilet and raised the seat cover only for the wicked stench of urine to waft out.
“Ew!” she covered her nose and tried to flush the toilet but discovered the handle was broken.
She headed to the tap and filled up a bucket of water to flush the toilet only for cockroaches to rush out of nowhere. Some were very matured and flew around.
“Ahh!” she screamed and ran outta the bathroom.
She saw the nannies smiling.
“It seems you don’t like the room. How about we show you another?” a nanny asked.
“You…” Vanessa pointed at them an had no words to say.
“Follow us!” the nannies turned around to leave.
“You… don’t I have a choice?” Vanessa asked in frustration.
“Don’t be tired yet. We’ve still got ten more rooms to check out.” the bodyuard announced and Vanessa decided to sit on the floor.
“I’m not moving from this spot. I’d rather sleep here.” she said with folded hands.
“No probs, Miss. I’ll just carry you. Forgive me.” the bodyguard said an dbefore she could even protest, he carried her over his shoulders and they took a tour of the remaining rooms and finally returned to first luxurious one that she loved.
“It seems, this is the only place suited for you, Miss.” the nannies placed her luggage in the dressing room, bowed and left with the bodyguard.
Vanessa’s initially well-arranged hair was now ruffled. She looked like a stray cat.
“Damn it! Jack Reynolds, You are toast!” she swore and headed to the bathroom to have a bath after making sure to lock the first door; lest they come back to give her sme free ‘tour’ again.
“You want to play dirty eh? You’ve finally caught this fairy’s attention.” she said internally.
Two hours later, she came downstairs, right in time to see a cute little babe run in from the entrance.
The moment their eyes locked, they exclaimed:
“Lisa?”
“Mummy!”
Lisa ran quickly to Vanessa who quickly picked her up and carried her.
She gave the little one a warm hug.
“Mummy, I missed you. Don’t ever leave me alone, ok?”
“Yup! Mom is here to pamper Lisa silly.”
Both began to have fun moments with each other.
Suddenly, the temperature reduced and unhurried loud footsteps were heard.
Soon, the owner of the footsteps came in through the entrance and locked eyes with Vanessa and the little bun.
A staring contest ensued!
