Melanie walks back to her room after both guys had already left the house.
She walks inside the room she could call ‘hers’ and bang the door shut behind her.
She drags her feet deliberately towards the bed and throws herself on the bed tiredly.
“I think the only thing they hire me for is to face their melo drama till my one year will be over” she groans and she shakes her head in frustration.
“Why was I here in the first place?” she mumbles under her breath and toose and turns on the bed making her back rest on the bed while she's facing the ceiling.
She picks her phone from the nightstand, exactly where she had dropped it earlier.
She tap on the screen and the phone come to alive.
Seeing the the notification that confirms that her debt has been paid, a weird thought comes to her mind and she contemplate whether or not to go with the plans.
“Should I just run away to a place they'll never find me?” she thought moving her hands to the back of her head.
“What if they eventually finds me and make me go through hell for running away with their money?” she sighs and close her eyes tiredly.
She seems tired even when she didn't do anything. The problem she's seen is enough to makes her feels exhausted.
Suddenly, she feels a slight headache and she grab her purse. She zip it down and rummage through her stuff but couldn't find pain killer.
She pours the contents inside the bag on the bed and she still couldn't find any.
“Shit! How can I not have any?” she groans and slaps her forehead in annoyance.
She pick up her small purse and scan through it and she finds some cash that's enough to transport her out of the city.
She smiles at her thoughts and packs her stuff inside the purse.
“First things, i needs to get pain killer pills for me to live long in this hell.” She drop her phone back on the nightstand and find her way out of her room after she has taken a few cash with her.
She exit her room and starts strolling down the gigantic stairs she finally gets to the living room and she make use of the exit.
Once outside the house, she shift her gaze to where the waterfall is she smiles at the sight of the waterfall and she shakes her head.
“I’m not going there today.” she says to herself and walks towards the front gate. Wanting to pull the gate open, she recollect that she'll need the passcode that was sent to her phone the previous day to get past the gate.
She hisses and walks back inside the mansion. Walking through the stairs makes her regret taking the job.
“I’m just realising that the huge amount of money that was used to pay off my debt can't be compare to the stress I'm passing through.” she groans as she walks through the long hallway.
Getting to her room, she grabs her phone and marched angrily back to the stairs and she sighs heavily before striding down the stairs.
She gets to the exit and punches the digits on the screen but it shows that she'll need the second password for her to walk pass the door.
Doing it the second time and the results is still this same.
“Why is this stupid gate is behaving like its stupid owner.” she rants and she feels tears streaming down her cheeks. Just then she could hear a buzzing sound of a buffer.
‘Your video has been taken and will be deliver to Mr Gordon after few minutes’ the buffer said and Melanie widens her eyes in shock.
Melanie moves her palm to her mouth in shock.
“Why are they after my life?” Melanie crys out and hit the gate with her fist.
‘Another picture has been taken and will be deliver to Mr Gordon later’ the buffer says again and rolls her eyes before crying back to inside.
They're all after her. Both the father and the son and now stupid buffer.
Only heaven knows which is more stupid among them.
Cordelia sighs and falls on the couch as soon as she gets to the living room.
At The Company
Mr Gordon sit amidst the ages men and women of the board at the conference hall.
He introduce the new project he has been working on for quite sometimes now and how he had worked mightily over it, the previous night.
They all put their hands together for him and praise for his hard work.
Mr Gordon snaps his fingers at Harley, his secretary to connect his phone to the projector to display the project.
He raise his hands up in the air, he close his lid and smile proudly at what he has done and how happy he's going to make them feel after going through the works he has put together.
He has been working on the project for months and he intends to finish it up before the board meeting today. So he has completed the project on his phone.
He thinks it's the best to have the project on his phone and transfer it to his computer system later, he thought he might need the project anywhere and anytime and the best place to have it is on his phone since it's always with him wherever he go.
He hears the gasps escape each and every one of them and he couldn't be more proud of himself. He knew they're all going to like it.
A smirk plaster at the corner of his lips and he wonder how much more surprise they're going to feel if they should see the rest.
Another gasps escape their mouth and it was accompany with mumbles among themselves.
He raise his head up high and he flick the strands of hairs that's covering his face to the back.
Harley, his secretary moves closer to him, she bends to his size in attempt to tell him of their current issue.
Mr Gordon raises his index finger up giving Harley the best way to tell her to shut up.
He hate it when people tries to get nosy at work.
“What is the meaning of this nonsense?” Mr Gordon could hear an angry voice from the board mentor and he slowly put down his hands.
He slowly opens his lid and the looks that welcome him isn't friendly at all.
He stands up from his seat and decided to check the projector by himself to see where he made mistakes.
Behold what that displays on the screen was the crying Melanie, the darn employee with a message from the buffer at the bottom.
Mr Gordon rushes to where the control is and switches the projector off.
Mr Gordon took his phone and bow to the angry boards members and runs out of the conference room.
He heed straight to his office and slams his fist on the table and it makes an annoying sounds.
He undo the first three button of his shirt and creases his hands on his hair.
He takes off his jacket and walks towards the exit, taking another glance at his office. He walks back to his table and he shit down his system before walking out angrily from his office.
He saunters angrily towards the elevator and they all moves back in shock at the look on his face.
He enters into the elevator and punch in the ‘first floor’
He battles with the tie that doesn't seem to perfectly fit on his neck anymore.
The elevator finally stops and he walks out of it, striding towards where he had packed his car at the garage.
He gets in the car and drives out of the company in a high speed.
Driving inside the mansion, he couldn't wait till he gets hold of Melanie and show her what he's capable of.
Because of her stupid plays with the buffer he lose 200 billion.
“200 fucking billion. He wouldn't have come back home. He wouldn't have left the conference hall if the board member wouldn't insult him for making such hige mistake.
He knew they'll only nods at his complaint then keep their shares to themselves. They would say since he's not ready they'll respond to the ones who has things to do.
“Melanie!” he screams her name and get no reply. He peek at every coroof the living room to be sure no one is there.
He proceeds to her room. Taking the hall that leads to her room he clench his fist and pushes his way into the room.
He takes two steps back at the sight in front of him...
After running back inside the mansion, Melanie plunge on the couch thinking her life over.‘Here is a tip for you. The advance payment form that you filled will be considered, but if we pay you a year salary even when you haven't done anything and you decided to run off with the payment... just consider yourself a jailer. The Gordon family that I know does not forgive theft.’She remember Harley’s last words to her before she left her office and she can't help but to sigh loudly.What has she gotten herself into? She thoughts and her mind suddenly drift to her mother.“No, I don't want to think about it.” she shakes her head as she moves her head backwards.She rest her head on the backrest and she bat her lashes. “What is the purpose of me here? The boy that I was told to babysit is an adult, from what I've seen he can take care of himself. So why keep me in isolation?” she groans and she feels her head aches has increased.“Oops, I need to take medicine. My temperature is getting w
Melanie gets under the shower and turns it on while still having her clothes on.She sighs a million times and runs her hand through her hair, not knowing exactly what to do.She thinks of how she has been living her life from the past to this moment, she doesn't know what to do or how to cry for her poor soul.She only agreed to do this job thinking it would be a little better not knowing she was moving in a circle.Well, she's been coping all these while and she'll keep coping until she dies, perhaps.She gets off the shower and turns it off. She wraps her towel around her chest and walks out of the bathroom.She enters her room and closes the door behind her, she walks to the wardrobe and picks out a pair of purple nighties. She clade in the dress and get on the bed.Just then she hears the ringing of her phone and she picks it up from the table. Behold, it was a strange number. After contemplating what to do, she finally clicks on the receive icon and placed it on her ear.“Come d
Melanie opens the door to Mr Gordon’s room and walks in gently with his hands hanging tightly around her shoulder.If not for her, he would have passed out on the cold floor already.Melanie moves closer to his bed and releases his hand from her shoulder. She makes him sit on the bed and tucks him into bed afterwards.He absent-mindedly mumbles some words which don't come out clearly to Melanie.She shrugs her shoulders when she's not sure of what to do.“I hope you're okay.” she sighs and strides out of his room, leaving the light on.Melanie decided to check up on Archie before going to bed. She takes the hallway that leads to his room and hears his slight snort from afar.Melanie shakes her head “Such a kid.” she chuckles and moves closer to his room.She opens the door gently and gazes around the room to see Archie sleeping soundly on his bed.“Much better.” Melanie smiles and closes the door back.“If care is not taken, I'll end up babysitting both father and son.” She giggles at
The kitchen suddenly becomes heated for Archie as he dabs his forehead with his index finger. The look on his father's face isn't welcoming and he sighs at what the irate man might say next.“I asked you what are you doing here?” Mr Gordon inquired, his voice is so loud that Melanie is beginning to wonder what will happen if she didn't speak up.Mr Gordon takes a few steps forward and Melanie thrust Archie to her back.“I’m very sorry sir, I called him from the living room to help me with the cooker. I should have found another way to get it done please pardon me.” Melanie bow her head in guilt.Archie stares at her from her back and he couldn't help but wonder why she's covering up for her. Although it was true that he helped her with the electronics but he came here on his own.“Get off kid! Don't ever step foot in here again.” Mr Gordon commanded.Archie mumbles angrily and strides out of the kitchen. Leaving his father behind.“Don’t ever call him to the kitchen he once had an acc
In the busy road of the city, Mr Gordon pulls his red Lamborghini to a halt in front of the old town bar. He loses the buckle of his shirt and rolls up the sleeves. He steps down from the car and marches angrily inside the bar. There, he sights his son causing a ruckus with the bar attendant. “Oh! Welcome, Mr Gordon.” The lady rush over to meet Him as soon as he strides inside the spacious lounge. Mr Gordon raises his brow when he sights his son being held down by the male attendant. “Care to tell me what is happening here?” Mr Gordon grumble as he divert his attention to the lady that came to welcome him. “Oh, bless you, sir, this young fellow came here a while ago asking for liquor and judging by his appearance it's clearly shown that he's a high school kid that's supposed to be receiving a lecture.” The lady mumbles with her fingers intertwined behind her back. “So why did you call?” Mr Gordon inquires taking his gaze from the lady to his son who seems wasted, judging by the w
Mr Gordon tightens his grip on the window as memories of his dead wife flash through his mind. He bows his head in sorrow and tears pour down his gemstone-green eyes.He sighs loudly as balls of sweat emerge from his forehead.“I never wish for any of these.” He mumbles to himself. He strides to the study room that is located in his room, closes the door behind him and falls to his knees.“I’m sorry Archie.” he cries bitterly as he couldn't help but wonder what he must be feeling at the moment.“I hope you don't forgive me for everything I've done to you.” he groans and stands up to his feet.He walks to the mini cabinet in the study room and brings out the album that contains his dead wife's pictures.“Selena!” He mumbles and cares the first picture with his thumb.It was the picture they both took together in their final year in high school.It was the day he confessed his feelings to his best friend, right on the school balcony. Selena was his childhood friend and they'd been havin
“What are you two doing out here?” Mr Gordon asks, taking two steps closer to them.Archie groans on the floor he sat on and he deliberately drags his feet off the water.He stands on his feet and walks out on them without saying anything.Melanie didn't bother to call him back as she was afraid he might stand against his father if he should stay for another minute.Melanie turned around and bowed to Mr Gordon who stood transfixed on his spot.“I’ll take my leave now, sir.” She says gently and walks out on him, not waiting for his response.“Thank you for making him happy.” Mr Godon says behind her.Melanie stop walking for a while, she turns her gaze to him to see that he was already staring at the waterfall and not her.‘Maybe I heard wrongShe thought and stridden inside the mansion.Melanie walk inside her room and close the door behind her, she sighs tiredly and walks to her bed.She plunges into the bed.“Today is a bit tiring.” she yawns lazily and takes her phone from the nigh
Melanie gets back to her room after having dinner with Archie. She walks to the bathroom and had her baths before walking back inside the room.“My stomach is so full.” she groans, rubbing her now big stomach, with her palm.“What am I going to prepare for them tomorrow?” she ask herself, scratching her jaw as she thinks of what to cook the next day.“Whatever!” she hissed. She turn off the lights and close her eyes for sleep to take over. The next day, Saturday.Melanie stand at the parking lot, waiting for Archie to come out for their outing.They've planned to go out and have fun. It is Saturday morning, Mr Gordon had left for work an hour ago, they agree to go out without his knowledge and return back home before he'll get back in the evening.Melanie wore a black and golden brown stride skirt over a black crop top with a golden brown heels. She clutch tight at her black purse. Her dark brown waist length hair was moved to the back, hiding her silver earrings.She gaze at h
