“Wake up miss! Wake up”Gerald kept calling as she fell into his arms.
“This is frustrating”He muttered as he carried Arabella into his arms and she silently cursed him even as she felt herself being lowered on a large sofa.
“Apart from the looks. She is heavy too. Wonder what she eats?”He muttered as he left the room to get help.
On hearing the door close. Arabella opened her eyes and sat up.
“Heavy? Who does he think he is to call me heavy?”She muttered to herself feeling insulted.
“If it weren’t for my daughter. I would have already punched you in the face. This is his second insult today”She muttered again.
Just then she heard someone footstep and quickly she layed back on the sofa. Closing her eyes while she pretends to sleep.
She heard the opening of the door and someone foot step as he or she walked towards her on the sofa.
“You can pretending. I saw you sitting up a while ago”She heard the voice say and instead of answering. She kept on with her act.
This is her chance to get what she wants. She won’t let a nosy fellow ruin it.
“Get up!”The voice said as he or she kicked the chair.
The chair being kicked kept bothering Arabella that she had to stop with the pretence.
She opened her eyes expecting to see an adult but she was surprised to see a little girl standing in front of her.
The little girl whose eyes were a replica of her’s. Even her hair were the same colour as hers but the little girl hair was straight and not curly like Arabella.
“I know you aren’t sleeping miss. So stop with the act” She said again and tears formed into Arabella’s eyes.
The child she had given up for adoption seven years ago is the same one standing in front of her.
“Aren’t you going to say anything for being caught?” The little girl asked when Arabella failed to speak.
“What do you want me to say? Have been caught”Arabella said as she stared at her daughter.
“Nothing. I don’t want you to do anything”She replied having a naughty smile on her face.
“What are you scheming in that little head of yours?”Arabella asked softly.
“Something”She replied as she went back to the door and opened it while she yelled out “Uncle! ”
On hearing that Arabella ran towards her to pull her into the room while having a hand over her mouth.
“Why are you calling him?”She asked when the little girl finally stopped screaming.
“To let him know that you are perfectly okay”she replied as she yelled out Uncle again.
She covered the girl mouth but the danger has been done because Gerald himself walk into the room starring at the two.
“What’s going?”He asked as he looked at the both of them.
“She didn’t faint uncle. She is perfectly okay. I saw her with my own two eyes” the little girl replied and Gerald turned to her.
“Is this true?”He asked.
“It’s….it’s…..”Arabella was lost at words for once. She didn’t want to say anything that will ruin wh@tëver future relationship she will have with her daughter.
“Fiona why don’t you leave us alone. Let me talk to her “Gerald suggested and she watched her daughter leave the room without giving her a back ward glance.
“What are you trying to gain by doing this?”Gerald asked starring down at her.
“To work here”She replied
“I already told you that you dont meet up to what I have in mind for a……”
“If it has to do with my looks. Then I won’t attend any social function. I will make myself scarce on that day just give me the job”She begged.
“I can’t give you the job. Please leave now”He said firmly and that got her angry.
How can he be so cold and cruel. She thought as she stood up and went towards him.
“Now listen here. You have two option. It’s either you give me the job or I let the media know about how your girlfriend assaulted me today”
“Are you threatening me?”He asked looking at her in surprise.
“Call it wh@tëver you want. All I can say is that I will make sure I let the press know what your girlfriend did and I might also say that you were involved in it as well. You wouldn’t want to jeopardise your company name right? So choose wisely”She warned.
A while later two guards pulled her out of the Mansion.
“Let me go! Let me go!”She said as she tried to pull her hand away but they pulled her until they got to the gate where she was pushed out of the Dalton estate.
“Mr Dalton has given orders for you to leave and to never come back”One of the guard told her as they locked the gate while they went back in.
“Cold hearted jerk! How can he do this to me”She muttered.
Her plan to threaten him didn’t work at all. He didn’t even blink an eye to her threat. She should have thought about the things said about him before she decided to threaten him.
