"James!" Alex called.
"Sir," James answered in great fear. Alex was the last person he was expecting to hear his voice at that moment and Elisa almost fell from his shoulder. He hurried into his room and placed Elisa on his bed and rushed out after closing his door. His fingers were shivering and his heart was pounding.
"James?" Alex called again. "Where are you?"
"Sir, I'm… here." He entered the sitting room and almost at the same time, Loveth opened the entrance door and entered. Both of them could not hide their disbelief.
"Darling… you came home so early. Welcome." She stood for a while, dumbfounded. Then she walked away, leaving James and Alex in the sitting room. Alex thought she had gone to her room, but she hid herself to hear what would transpire between both of them.
"James, you need to go to the airport. There is a parcel I have been waiting for. It has arrived. You need to go there and bring it for me. Use my car. There is a code at the dashboard. That's the password you will use when you get there."
"Now?" He asked, hoping he could do it later or tomorrow.
"Right now. That's the main reason I came home very early."
As James was about to go back to his room, Alex asked.
"Where are you going? I want you to go to the airport without wasting a single time."
James became very worried and changed his direction. On his way to the door, Alex said,
"Call me Elisa."
At this moment, James stood still and he didn't know what to say. Suddenly, Loveth jumped out from her hideout and came to his rescue.
"My darling, I sent Elisa an errand."
"Is it why she is not picking up her calls? I want her to do something for me." He turned his face from Loveth and took a file from his suitcase. Loveth and James tried to communicate with their eyes and it was obvious, Loveth was very furious at him with their nonverbal communication.
Loveth went inside to her room while James went out as instructed by Alex. Before he got to the car, his phone started ringing. When he saw that it was Loveth, he quickly entered Alex's car and locked the door.
"Hello ma…"
"See what you have caused. What are we going to do? Elisa is still sleeping. How long will she stay awake? When are you coming back from the airport?"
"She will wake up in the next three hours, and my going and coming back from the airport might take two hours and some minutes, if there is no traffic jam."
"What are we going to do? I told you your plan was too sluggish. Oh! My God. Why have you complicated things for me? Invite her to your room and do what I said, you refused. You are such a big idiot."
"But Ma, I have a plan," he interrupted her.
"What plan?" She asked and James started the car and drove out of the compound.
"What plan?" She asked again when she sensed that James was not responding in a split of seconds.
"I want to send someone to my room right now. After this call, I will call him. He is my friend. He will quickly come and sleep with the maid. He will switch on the cameras in the room before he starts."
James' new plan had a strong calming effect on her and her tone changed at once.
"That will be nice James. Please call your friend now."
"His name is Henry, he will act as an electrician. You need to be alert and take him to my room."
"Cool. Call him, this is a perfect alternative plan." Loveth dropped the call so that James could call his friend. James immediately dialed Henry's phone number.
"Henry…Henry, where are you?" And before he could reply, James continued, "you need to go to my house right away. My boss just came to the house impromptu. I was about to sleep with the maid when he came and he had sent me to the airport. It might take a couple of hours before I will come back. My boss' fiance is very angry right now and I have already drugged the maid. Please, you need to help me to carry out this mission. Please…"
"Wait, let me understand something. Are you saying I should go and take your place in having sex with the maid?"
"Yes."
"Wow… fantastic! I'm ready," he spoke excitedly.
"Wait. Let me explain. You must dress like an electrician. When you get there, tell my boss I sent you to my room and the kitchen. I'm including the kitchen in case he wants to follow you. But I know he will not follow you. When you get to my room, there is a black switch at the left side of the bed. Just press it, the cameras will automatically turn on. Please, don't forget to press the switch before sleeping with her."
"I will definitely do that." He smiled and stood up. James ended the call and called Loveth. Her phone did not ring out before she picked up the call.
"How far? Were you able to reach him?" She asked.
"Yes. He is on his way. Please ma, you need to be in the sitting room and take him to my room."
"Okay, okay, is that all? Have you told him what else he will do in your room?"
"Yes."
"I mean the cameras. He must turn them on."
"Yes ma. And if possible, please make my boss go to his room."
"Yes…that's a nice idea." Loveth dropped the call and left her room immediately and went to the sitting room.
"Welcome my love," she smiled sheepishly and was looking for his reply.
"You came home so early. I hope all is okay?" She walked closer to him.
"Please, I came home for a reason. I need some time for myself." He stood and was about to climb the stairs. His first foot on the stairs made Loveth raise her shoulders unconsciously and Alex stopped and walked towards the wine bar.
"If you need your favorite wine, I can bring it to your room." Loveth rushed her words and moved closer to him again.
"That's the work of Elisa. Where is Elisa?"
"Darling, I told you I sent her to the Mall. I guess she is taking her time to buy everything I told her." She wanted to caress his shoulders.
"Stop!" He snapped and took a glass of wine. Loveth thought he would go back to the stairs and go to his room. But when he was still standing and was not moving, Loveth could not hold herself and she said,
"I thought you were going to your room dear?"
"Hmm… yes. But I'm expecting a special guess." He went to his previous position and sat down. Loveth could not hide the fear in her heart again. She started walking zigzag in the sitting room and was intentionally raising her gown so that Alex could see her undies.
"Why are you moving around? Won't you sit down?"
"How can I sit down when I am in the mood for you? How long have you decided not to touch me?" She suddenly expressed anger on her face.
"What have I done? Just once, you have abandoned me." She sat down and folded her hands. Soon tears dropped from her eyes and her face was full of anger as she stared at Alex.
"Is that why you are angry?"
"Yes," she nodded and her voice was very faint.
"Don't worry, as soon as my Guess leaves, we will go to my room," he smiled at her.
"Why not now?" She cleaned her tears. Then, the knock on the door made her stand up at once. Her desperation made Alex ask.
"Are you also expecting anyone?"
"Hmm… yes. An electrician. There are things he needs to fix." Loveth walked to the door and opened it.
"Good afternoon ma, I'm Henry, an electrician."
"Welcome, come in. I have been waiting for you. Did James tell you anything?"
"Yes ma," he replied and Loveth left the way and he entered the house. On seeing Alex, he bent his head and greeted.
"Good afternoon Sir."
"Welcome. Are you an electrician?"
"Yes Sir."
"What do you want to do?" Alex asked.
"James told me to check his room and the kitchen. He said there are things I needed to fix."
"Okay," Alex paused and took some wine from his cup, and within that very short moment of Alex drinking from his cup, Loveth said,
"Come, let me go and show you his room."
Alex watched them as they were going. As they were about to leave the sitting room and were standing very close to the door post, Alex said,
"Come back here," and they stopped at once. Loveth was the one who came forward and waited to hear what Alex was about to say.
"What's your name, young man?"
"Henry Sir."
"Sit down. You saw me drinking. You can just walk in and go straight to your work. I want you to have a glass of wine." He moved his eyes to Loveth and added,
"Give him a glass of wine."
Loveth took a deep breath and reluctantly walked to the bar and gave Henry a glass of wine, and she whispered some words as she gave him the wine.
A few minutes later, Henry drank his wine as fast as he could and stood up.
"Thank you Sir, I'm done. Let me go and do the work that brought me here."
