Moving in with Geoff

Geoff and I became very busy in the next days. We met only two for the whole weekday. He promised he would make it up with me once the problems in his company are resolved. He came to my place at night looking very tired and I couldn't help but pity my husband. We agreed that I would finally move in with him this weekend. He hired someone who could be with me in his mansion while he is away. She would also be my personal assistant.

Saturday morning, a Michael and a woman came early in my place. The woman was wearing casual clothes smiling from ear to ear. She looks young and pleasant.

"This is Nancy. She will be your personal assistant from now on Mrs. Park." Michael said. I'm still not used to being called Mrs. Park. It's like music to my ears.

"Nice to meet you, Madam." Nancy said bowing lowly.

"Nice to meet you Nancy. Please call me Jessica." I said politely.

"Oh no, Madam! I shouldn't be rude by calling you with your first name. It's my pleasure to be of service to you. I'm excited to start my work today." She sounds happy. I hope I have her energy.

"The movers will now pack your things. You can tell them if some things are not necessary anymore. But I advice you that furniture and appliances are not necessary. You have everything you need in your new house, Mrs. Park." Michael explained.

"Don't worry. I already gave some of my things to the neighbors and the others can be thrown away since they are already old. I already labeled each stuff with what's to keep and what's to be discarded."

Everything went smooth in loading my stuff to a small truck outside. Actually, I don't have a lot of things. Most of the things I will be carrying with me are clothes and some decors which are given by my mom. After almost 3 hours, everything is loaded in the truck. I and Nancy were driven by Michael to our destination while the small truck follows us from behind. We were quiet inside the car. I'm thinking what kind of life I will be having in my new place.

We arrived the place after an hour. We went inside a gate which is so high that no one can see the house from outside. From the gate, a road leads us to the main mansion. It is a two-story building with a modern style infrastructure. It is surrounded with trees and plants. The car stopped in front of the house with its doors opened. Many maids dressed in uniforms lined up immediately when they saw our car coming.

The car door was opened by Michael and as I step out from the car, Geoff came running, looking so excited.

"What took you so long? I was waiting for you the whole morning. I was also calling you but you didn't answer." Geoff hugged me immediately when he approached me.

"Sorry, we were so busy." I didn't realize it was already noon and I feel a bit hungry.

"The men in the truck started unloading my stuff and put them inside the house. The maids helped the men and brought my things on the next floor.

The house is so spacious with a very high ceiling. A chandelier was hanging and every decor inside has a touch of modern style. As you enter the house, you can see the wide staircase leading upstairs. I was stunned with how huge the place is and how elegant it looks like. I am not sure whether I would feel comfortable in such a place.

Regina Park, Geoff's stepmom step out from somewhere a little later. She doesn't look pleased to see me. To my surprise, she came to me and hugged me.

"I heard about your wedding. Congratulations!" She said without changing her facial expression.

"Thank you Mrs. Park." I said hesitantly. I wasn't sure whether she is sincere in congratulating me or not.

"I hope the two of you will get along. We are now a family. I don't like hearing that my wife is having a hard time adjusting in her new home." Geoff said. For me, it sounds like a warning to his stepmom.

"Of course. If she would have a hard time here, it's definitely not because of me. And I think it's obvious that she won't be adjusting in this place that easily since she is not used to living in a place like this. She is more comfortable living in a smaller place." I know it is a kind of an insult but she is actually correct.

"Lunch is now ready. I asked our maids to prepare the best meal to welcome your wife." Regina continued.

"Are you hungry? Or do you want to take a rest first?" Geoff asked me.

"I am a bit hungry. And Mrs. Park prepared lunch for us. It would be rude for me not to eat." I said. I will try to be nice to her. Maybe if she can realize that I am not her enemy, she would finally like me.

Geoff called one of the maids to accompany Nancy in her room then we headed in the dining area. As expected, the room is very huge. A long table is on the center with different food on it. I don't know the names of the food but they all look delicious.

Geoff pulled a chair for me to sit down then he sat at the end side of the table next to me. Regina sat opposite to me.

"I asked the maids to prepare the best dishes. Consider it as a celebration of you wedding and your first day in your new home." She said in a poker face. I really can't figure out what she is thinking.

"Thank you." I said politely.

There are many utensils in front of me, similar with what I had during my first date with Geoff. I still don't know how to use each so I tried to copy what Geoff was doing. Luckily, Geoff served food on my plate.

"So, what's your plan now? Are you still continuing to work or you would stay at home? You know, my dear Geoff can provide everything you need. No matter how long you work, you still can't afford all the things you can get and experience with Geoff beside you." Regina

"Stop that nonsense. She can do whatever she wants. I don't want her to be bored inside this house doing nothing. She is not like you who doesn't have any ability except to go shopping." Geoff said coldly.

I was surprised with what Geoff said. He talks rudely to his stepmom. What's more surprising is Regina never argue with him. Either she keeps quiet whenever Geoff is rude towards her or she just pretends she didn't hear anything.

"I just want to know your plans. And besides, you said we are now a family. I can help her get used to her new life now that she is a wife of Limited Group's CEO."

Everyone was quiet after what Regina said. She can actually help me with my new role as Geoff's wife. I just hope she is sincere with what she said.

After eating, Geoff decided to tour me around the house. With all the rooms that this house has, I'm sure it would take me days before I can get used to this place. Regina was following us the whole time making me feel awkward. When we finally reach our bedroom, Regina asked to talk to me in private so Geoff went inside the room first.

"Let me just warn you woman. You may be Geoff's wife but it doesn't mean you have a voice in this house. I don't want you to change anything in this place and as much as possible, I don't want to see you wandering around. Stay hidden as much as possible. You are only here because of Geoff and even though he trusts you so much and that you are already married with him, it doesn't mean you are welcome here. Know your place." She said in a very strict tone.
