Sunbathing
“Don’t worry, I have a plan, your dad had already called her over to come to the house tomorrow, we’ll get a good chance to execute our plans” Marion said decisively to comfort her daughter.
“What are you thinking Mom??” Jolie asked her mom who seemed lost in thoughts.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me, you’ll get to see your mom in action tomorrow, and get a taste of my masterpiece ” Marion looked so sly as she looked far as if imagining the scenes.
Jolie nodded in satisfaction and her mood lightened up a bit.
“Thanks, mom” Jolie muttered as she cleared her throat “I’ll be heading to class now, you know the socialite competition of this year is dragging near, we have a tea class today”
“Don’t worry dear, Go and do your stuff, you must win this year’s most social and beautiful woman, I’ll take you to a spa in two days to help you relax your muscles a bit, you’ve been working hard” Marion promised as she looked at her daughter, determined for her to progress and surpass the daughter of her archenemy, Amelia.
Amelia’s mother had always made her feel inferior when she was still alive, she couldn’t beat her at anything but this time, what she couldn’t do, her daughter would help her do it.
“No Mom, let’s go to the beauty store that was recently opened close to the city’s mall, lot of socialite go there for skin care, I want to look my best these days in case I accidentally bump into Alexander, you know….” Jolie’s face had a tinge of red on her cheek as she thought of Alexander.
“You don’t have to be so coquettish because of a man, men don’t like women who act all clingy… Behave yourself and prove to him that you are a noble lady from a decent background, and full of charisma” Marion reminded Jolie seriously and Jolie only snorted
“C’mon mom, that’s old fashioned, men of your time do that, not now….” Jolie joined her both hands together, looking drilled as she said slowly “Men of my time, Like gentle and cute women, who wants to be embraced and pampered by men, that way the men feel superior, isn’t that what all men want??” Jolie giggled as she directed her question to her mom but Marion couldn’t refute her as she stared at her daughter who seems to have lost a screw from her medulla oblongata.
“Seriously??….” Marion could only utter this as she had nothing more to say.
“Yeah, seriously…” Jolie shrugged after saying those words and laughed out of the room
“I’m off now”
Marion sighed as she watched Jolie leave through the door, she couldn’t let Amelia enjoy being Mrs. Ron.
Let her enjoy it while it lasts, as for tomorrow, she won’t be qualified as she would leave the marriage herself.
If she had her husband to tell Amelia off from the marriage, it will seem as if they broke the agreement they had with mr Ron, Amelia was sold with good money. After discharging and paying for Jolie’s medical bills, they had spare money left that they enjoyed for a while until it was completely exhausted.
So they couldn’t talk Amelia out of the marriage instead they could use another means of making her run from the marriage herself.
Just you watch out Amelia.!© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Time seemed to roll by faster as soon it was dawn, Amelia slowly opened her eyes to adjust her sight to the light, the sun penetrated the room through the windows, it was a warm morning sun.
Good for sunbathing!
Amelia thought but she immediately cancelled her wishful thinking as she ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Today was the day she’d get to be introduced in Ron’s Headquarter as Alexander’s new assistant.
She couldn’t be late on her first day, else she won’t leave a good impression on the workers there. Not that she wanted to impress anyone but to fulfill all righteousness, so yeah.
Soon she was done, she got dressed into a black, side-cut skirt that was below her knees, with a white top and a small black coat to match.
She tied her hair into a ponytail and she looked more professional and business-minded.
She applied a little bit of concealer on her eyes to cover up the dark cycles under her eyes.
She didn’t go to bed early, yesterday as she was busy doing some digging and researching on Ron’s headquarter and their working techniques.
Not that she was going there to work as a minor worker as she would be staying close to Alexander more but it was better to be safe than sorry. She didn’t want to look like a JJC there.
She walked out of the bedroom after getting dressed, she walked downstairs when a swift and tender aroma hit her nostrils almost blocking her six senses, the aroma was so strong and it already told how sumptuous the meal was going to be.
The head maid, Mrs. Gale Was a talent to reckon on, she was a good cook.
“Good morning madam” Mrs Gale greeted respectfully with a small smile.
“Good morning Mrs Gale, you can call me Amy… I don’t feel comfortable when you call me madam, it makes me feel twice my age” Amelia said leisurely
“Master wouldn’t agree to that-” Mrs Gale said with a smile.
She had always thought that Amelia was a nice girl but now, her love and respect for Amelia had gradually increased as Amelia gave off good and comfortable vibes, though she could be quite unapproachable sometimes.
“I insist..” Amelia said that she was so fed up with servants calling her ‘Madam’ as if it was glued to their tongues, no matter what she told them, they always called her Madam which makes her feel aged.
“Okay then… Amy” Mrs Gale immediately looked upstairs to see if the master was coming down.
“You must be famished now, I’ll go serve breakfast on the table now,” Mrs Gale said and immediately made her way to the kitchen to bring in the trays of food.
At that moment, Alexander walked in, he was properly dressed in a black torso and a grey customized coat.
“Good morning ” Amelia couldn’t help but greet him first.
“Hmm” Alexander hummed not removing his eyes from his phone, just then, Mrs. Gale brought in the tray of food to serve them.
They both ate in silence as Alexander seem intrigued by his phone.
After breakfast, they both walked outside to get into the car, alexander reminded Amelia of some things to keep in mind.
And she just hummed at his every statement as a sign that she understood what he was saying
“That’s all for now….” Alexander opened the passenger’s door for Amelia and she said thank you and got in.
Alexander was about to ignite the car when he got a message from Ash.
{I just got off the plane now, come pick me up Xander, please don’t take long}
