With that said. Arabella ran out of the room heading to Fiona room.
She found the girl in her room. Curled up on her bed looking sad.
“Fiona”Arabella called as she walked into the room.
“I want to be alone”Fiona said wanting her to leave.
“There’s nothing going on between your uncle and i. What you saw a while ago was just him trying to pull me out of harm’s way” Arabella said and she turned to stare at her.
“Really?”
“Yes. I was about stepping on a broken glass when he pulled me towards him. I lost my footing and ended up falling on him. There’s nothing going on between us. I can promise you that” she said again and the little girl moved towards her.
“I hope you are telling the truth. I don’t want you dating my uncle ever”She said.
“May I ask why?”Arabella said wanting to know why Fiona is bent on her uncle not being with anyone.
“He won’t have time for me again. Am afraid that he will get married and to get rid of me. He will send me to the orphanage home” she explained.
“Your uncle won’t do that”Arabella replied as she hugged her.
“I know that he doesn’t want me with him. I know that am disrupting his life and am sorry about it but he is the only family I have left and am scared that he will abandon me. That’s why I keep on doing things to send his girlfriend away. Promise me that you won’t fall for him like my other nanny did”Fiona begged and Arabella pulled away to stare at her.
“You have nothing to worry about. Am not interested in your uncle and am sure that he feels the same way with me . So you your safe with me”Arabella replied softly and Fiona smiled at her before hugging her.
Arabella didnt know why but she felt that she is making a big mistake by promising Fiona this. She just hopes that nothing will ruin the relationship she is having with Fiona.
The two were so cooped up with each other that they didn’t notice Gerald standing by the door way.
Having heard everything. Gerald left without letting them know of his presence.
THE NEXT DAY
DALTON COSMETIC COMPANY
“Isn’t she gorgeous”
“She is just so pretty”
“Can we ask for her autograph now”
Arabella sat in the waiting room listening to the staff talking about her. She didn’t know why they kept her here, telling her to wait.
She was told that the photo session will be taking place today and she had hope that she will do it quickly and leave but they’ve been a delay. She has to get back to Gerald mansion on time. She had lied that she had to get something at the market just so she could come here. They must be expecting her back.
“Sorry to keep you waiting Ara” Matthew said as he walked towards her.
“What’s taking long?”Arabella asked.
“Just that the male model your meant to take the photo with just called to cancel with us. Right now the staff is looking for another model so you don’t have to worry”He told her.
“Will it take long?”Arabella asked.
“I can’t say” Matthew replied.
“But I have other appointment. Cant you just schedule the shoot to some other day”Arabella asked.
“We can’t”Gerald answered by the door way. Surprising them all.
On seeing him. Arabella stood up quickly. They had told her that he wasn’t around. So why is he here? She thought.
“I was going to say that too…….”
“Get everything prepared Matthew”Gerald instructed.
“But the model isn’t here yet and……”
“There’s no need of getting a model. I will be doing it myself. So get it ready ” Gerald said surprising Matthew and also Arabella who knew she was in trouble once again..
To be continued ✌️✌️✌️
Turns out Gerald will be working close with Arabella at the company???
What will happen next ???
