Chapter six

" Sir, a person has been picked for the position of the maid service to be rendered in your house. We sent her an email this morning to let her know that she has been accepted for the job" Brain said standing rigidly in front of Marcus.

" Did you just pick a person or you've thought she's the best for the job, I want no problems with this one, if I find her lacking and find any reason to fire her you're fired too" Marcus said making himself clear.

" But sir..... I wasn't the only one who brought up the idea of hiring her..... It was all the committee's choice too and she was best for the job" he said quickly trying to clear himself out.

" Then I'll fire you and the rest of the committees, now get me her file and send me the revolutional volunteers of the New Beauty Company. I need to take a look at them "

" Yes sir...give me five minutes and I'll bring it over to you."

" I need them as soon as possible "

" Ok sir "

As Brian left his office, Stella walked in.

At first Marcus didn't notice but raised his head on second instinct.

"What are you wearing? " He asked flabbergasted and angry.

She stopped dead in her tracks.

"It's nothing too extraordinary sir...just got the skirt yesterday and decided to Grace it here today"

"Not too extraordinary you say?.... You got them yesterday?.....when ? While busy with work you still find the time to shop for skimpy things like this...wait....are you trying to seduce me? Get me to look at you so you decide to waste your time buying this when you should be working? "

He stared at her face and knew he was right when she turned red and began stepping on her toes.

" I see...." He said expecting to hear a word from from her but she said nothing.

" Miss Stella? Will you some the honor of going back home and changing your skirt then find a better blouse which is less provocative and less seductive?" He slowly asked

When she only nodded he continued " and sorry to say, I didn't tell you to go change because you were seducing me, am doing it because of my male workers who won't get any work done staring at your bare legs ok?"

She nodded, bowed a little and walked out silently...still trying to seduce him to changing his mind. She must be daft.

He sagged against his chair in dismay.

Or was he too harsh?

***** *****

Sophie got home late yesterday and after putting Camille to bed she got into bed herself fully clothed and slept off straight away.

The binging of her phone woke her up the next morning.

"Arrrrggggghh" she groaned sleepily.

"Who the hell can't wait till tommorow morning before messaging. Am tired". She said as she struggled to get up and grabbed her phone, her disheveled hair getting in her face she brushed it off and tried reading the message. It was am email from The Exclusive Company.

What she saw made her eye widen up in uttermost shock.

" I've been employed?!" She said and read the email again .

'you can start as early as tommorow.' it said.

Wow..... That was fast and she was happy.

She didn't think she'll make it after the Incident that happened.

Maybe the boss didn't hate her after all. He must have been a good person but the company coloured him black.

Whatever she was grateful, she was about to go back to sleep when her eyes caught the time.

Nine twenty ! What in the world_____"

She looked over at Camille but she wasn't in bed anymore. She sprang up that instance and went out of the room.

" Camille? " She called.

No answer

" Camille " but no answer still, she wasn't in the sitting room. She wasn't in the dinning room either and not in the bathroom too.

Sophie was already in the panic mode. She bursted open the kitchen door and smiled in relief.

There she was sitting on the floor with an open ice cream at her front. The one she'd left on the cabinet the day before.

" Oh baby....you were hungry?"

Camille nodded and continue licking off ice cream from the spoon.

" You should have woken me up then dear"

Sophie said squatting down nest to her and patting her head, "good girl" she said smiling.

Few hours later, she had done all the necessary things she needed to do and had just finished eaten breakfast with Camille when her cell phone rang. Her mom.

" Mom?"

"Are you done with your interview?" Mrs Martin her mother asked

" I never went for any interview today. I woke up late...but thankfully I got the job from yesterday interview"

"You did?... That's good...am happy for you dear.....how's Camille?"

" She's here fresh as the day she was born mom, Camille will need to stay with you from now on, u Will only come get her during the weekend "

" Ok dear, that's understandable, bring her over today so u can prepare for tomorrow"

" Ok mom"

" Bye dear 💓"

"Bye Mom .....love you"

After she ended the call she went into the room leaving Camille with the cartoon program she was watching and went to pick her clothes for tomorrow

Tommorow will be a much longer day, and hopefully a better one too.
