Chapter 22: First day at the Wong's.

That morning , Alyssa was awaken by the knock on the door .

" Madam Alyssa , It's time to wake up ! " The woman who was at the door said.

Alyssa got up and had a quick shower before heading to the living room where she could see the maids busy taking breakfast to the dinning room.

" Am...Excuse me miss ! " She called of the maids.

" Good morning Madam Alyssa , How may I help you ? " The maid asked with a low bow.

" Good morning .. May I ask the program of this mansion ? "

" After waking up , Everyone is supposed to be ready for breakfast before 9. Mr Calcel has to go for work , For Mr David , He's been staying here for sometime but I guess he will be busy with the campaigns. As for Miss Clere , She's still on her holiday so she spends most of her time here. " The maid explained.

" Oh , That's good. Thanks ! " Alyssa said to the maid before she left. She checked on her wrist watch to find it was still 8.

' Am too early ! ' Alyssa said innery and decided to go to the kitchen .

" Good morning ladies.." She greeted the two cooks that were there.

" Good morning ! " They greeted back in corouse.

" Ma'am , What brings you here ? " One of the maids asked.

" I came to help you with some work. " Alyssa says with a beam.

" Please go ahead. " The other one said happily before Alyssa got her apron and started helping them.

" Wow , We didn't know that you know how to cook ! " One of the cooks commented.

" Really ? "

" Of course. We used to think that artists like you don't know anything apart from acting and dancing. " The other one said.

Alyssa smiled at them and then said. " I will be helping you from today onwards. I really like doing house chores. " Alyssa squealed.

The three continued chatting till the whole preparation was ready. Alyssa helped them serve the food to the dinning table to find everyone already there. She didn't know whether to sit down and join the family or go back to the kitchen to share her breakfast with the other maids but as soon as she turned to leave when she heard David's voice stop her.

" Where are you going ? " He asked hoarsely.

Alyssa turned to look at him feeling her heart squeezing. " Am...I...I...I was..still helping them. " She stuttered.

" You are not a maid here. Sit down and eat breakfast. " David said.

Calcel was hearing them but he didn't say anything but continued eating his food.

Alyssa listened and sat down opposite David and Calcel. She started eating slowly while they were all quite.

" Did the meeting with Miss Havisham go well ? " David asked Calcel.

" Yes Father. The new project will be beginning soon. " Calcel replied.

" That's so good. Am going for registration next week . " David said.

" That's good father. Hope everything will go well. " Calcel said.

" Father , I will will take my leave now. " Calcel said after eating his food and left.

Alyssa had been quite all long not having anything to say. David noticed her silence and they way she was eating slowly and decided to ask.

" Alyssa ? " He called pulling back her attention that she looked at him.

" Are you alright ? " He asked.

" Yes sir. " Alyssa said faking a smile.

" I know it's somehow hard for you but don't forget that you are my wife. Be free to my children . okay ? " David muttered.

" Of course sir. " Alyssa said.

" That's okay . You will only leave when Clere is awake. I will take my leave. " David said and also left Alyssa .

She gave a sigh of relief and finally ate her food to the fullest. She was done when she went back to her room and changed into fine clothes. She then got her phone and rung Herman asking him the schedule of the day which after she got a purse to Leave but something came into her mind.

" Treat Calcel and Clere as your own children. " She remembered David's words and decided to go to Clere's room. She opened the door slowly and peeped inside to see that Clere was still asleep. Alyssa walked to her making sure she didn't create and noise and looked at the sleeping beauty's face before she pressed a soft peck on Clere's cheek and left.

At EE Entertainment.

" Good morning guys ! " Alyssa greeted with a smile.

" Hi , What took you long ? " The producer of the movie asked walking to her.

" Am so sorry sir. I didn't know that the shooting would start this early . " Alyssa apologized.

" Fine , Get ready as quick as possible. " The producer said and walked away.

Alyssa gave a sigh really not knowing why things were turning up like this. She headed to the dressing room where she changed into the costumes and the shooting begun.

Calcel was in the middle of the meeting with the workers when he said.

" I want each of you to participate in this project so that we produce the best quality ever. Remember many companies have tried to make the same product and that's why we should try our best to make ours unique. "

" I agree with you sir. It will be good if our brand is so different from the others. " One of the board members said.

" Alright. The meeting ends here..I hope to get the best out of each of you. " Calcel said and got up to leave.

He sat in his office and opened his laptop to finish some work when he recieved a call from Juliana his mother.

" Mom , What is it ? he asked after receiving the call.

" Hello son. How are you ? " Juliana asked.

" Am doing well mother. "

" That's good. Are you home ? " She asked.

" Not really. Am at the office "

" Oh.. . Clere's teacher informed me that their holiday is coming to an end so I want her back here by next week. "

" Is that so. I will tell her when I am back home. "

" Okay ..Take care of yourself. "

" Fine mother. I will hung up now. "

Calcel put his phone onto the desk and continued with his work.
