"I am not sure, but she seemed rather enthusiastic about sending Alvira away," Ben said with a frown, Sarah thought of all that had happened that day and felt unhappy.“You’re right. It was almost as if they had some personal argument of their own. Clarisse kept on accusing and pushing us to fire her continuously.” She commented and Ben nodded in agreement.At the time when Alvira had broken the teapot, Clarisse had been the first person to react. Even while everyone was still stunned wondering what had happened, she seem to have been more mad than shocked and even after that, she was still the one who accused Alvira and pointed out the fact that she had a reason for doing such a thing and had stated what her reasons were.Now that she thought of it, it was obvious, that Clarisse had taken advantage of the fact she and Ben hated indiscipline
In Love Again 56: SHIFTING BLAME
Just as Clarisse and Lara agreed to become a team, a knock resounded on the door and they shared a glance.“It is time,” Clarisse said happily then strolled to the door and opened it, but didn’t let the maid come in like she always does, instead she stepped out.“How may I help you?” She asked sweetly and the maid blushed.“Good evening Mrs. Stone. Madam Sarah, request your presence in the living room.” She said and Clarisse nodded.“I would be there soon.” The maid nodded and left, Clarisse stood on the spot and watched her leave before she returned to the room where Lara sat listening to her conversation with the maid silently. She looked up at Clarisse, "Listen to me Mrs. Stone, you have to tell her the truth and be ready to leave the mansion. If you do, then they would be less suspicious and I would be able to not only get but also give you the information you need easily." She said and Clarisse giggled.“Oh, of course, I do plan on telling them the truth. My own version anyway
In Love Again 57: DISCOVERING THE WALKERS' SECRET
Alvira woke up to a call from Madam Sarah the next morning, she frowned slightly as she walked out of the bathroom with her toothbrush still in her mouth, she looked at the caller ID and picked it up. "Hello, madam?" "Hello Alvira," Sarah greeted as she glanced at Ben who gave her an approving nod and she sighed, "Can we meet? I would like to discuss something with you." She informed and Alvira frowned as she couldn't guess what they would be talking about. It was most likely that Simon already told them about the poisoning, so there wasn’t really much for them to talk about. "Should I come to the mansion?" She asked. "No, I would send you the venue and the time. Please be there on time." She said and Alvira sighed. "Okay, Madam." Madam Sarah hung up and turned to Ben, "It's done. Do you think it would work?" She asked with enthusiasm and Ben nodded."We have to try our best and leave the rest to fate," Ben said and Sarah nodded. She picked up her phone again and sent a messa
In Love Again 58: A SET UP 1
Alvira stood in front of the sky-high restaurant and frowned. When she had gotten the text from Madam Sarah that they were to meet at Lakeview restaurant, she had been a little confused. Why Lakeview? The restaurant was a place frequented by elites of all kinds, it was the one restaurant in the city where one could find celebrities, rich businessmen, and children of business tycoons all at the same time. Apart from the cost of food which was as high as the building, their customers were attended to according to the amount of money they were willing to pay. Thus one can say, the more you pay, the better the service you were rendered. That was the most popular slogan of Lakeview restaurant after all.It was a place that people like her could not even dream of going to, rather they would settle for hearing of it in adverts or online gossip. Now that she was standing here, set to have dinner here with Madam Sarah, it was more like a dream and she wasn’t sure if this was going to be a
In Love Again 59: A SET UP 2
No one bothered to speak during the elevator ride, Asher only looked at Alvira who was mad at Simon, and Simon who was lost in thought as he tried to wonder who would dare steal Alvira from him. In his opinion she was not like Lana. he wasn't going to let her go even if she loves someone else. He was going to cling to her until she falls head over heels in love with him. And if he doesn't succeed he was going to keep trying. After all, the only thing hindering him was his leg. That was the only thing the other party could have that he didn't, and didn't the doctor say he still had a chance at walking again? Even if it was little, he wasn't going to let another man snatch her from him. He was going to follow her to meet that man and state his claims.As they got to their floor and the elevator opened with a ‘ding,’ Asher’s phone suddenly beeped and he looked at the text message that had been sent for some time. He then glanced at Alvira who had walked out of the lift and Simon who
In Love Again 60: COINCIDENTAL MEETING
The ambiguous moment between the two was disrupted when the waiter returned with their wine. The couple had no choice but to pull apart, Simon returning to his seat and Alvira blushed with embarrassment in a way that made Simon amused and caused him to smile at her sweetly. Soon they clinked their glasses, drank their wine, and ordered their meal while enjoying each other’s company like that of couples on a real date. They didn’t talk much. In fact, they were silent most of the time, just occasionally stealing glances at each other as they ate, but the silence wasn't awkward, rather it was pleasant and comforting. Like they didn’t need to say anything at all. Soon the date came to an end faster than either of them would have liked but they both didn’t say anything. While they waited for the bill, Alvira took the opportunity to stand by the glass plane and have a full view of the lake below. It was extremely beautiful and romantic. The sight of the lake made her wonder what it would
In Love Again 61: MIXED FEELINGS
The ride back to Alvira's home was rather silent and awkward. Simon was unhappy, as Lana’s previous words kept ringing in his heart, Alvira glanced at him from time to time, she saw the shadows under his eyelash, but she couldn't determine when he had become like this or what had made him become so moody. Was he mad at her? Was he mad that she spoke up against Lana? Did he still have feelings for her? She wondered and felt unhappy. The moment the car stopped she opened the door and walked out immediately before Simon could say anything, Simon only stared at her, his mouth slightly open as he watch her close the car door. Alvira noticed his gaze and she glanced at him, "I would call Madam Sarah and thank her for the dinner." She said and walked towards her house while the two men stared at her silently. "Miss Alvira is more capable than I thought." Asher finally spoke up as he nodded satisfactorily, while the two people behind had been silent, he had been lost in his own anger at L
In Love Again 62: AN ACHILLES HEEL 1
Simon sat opposite Josh and stares at him with an expressionless face as Josh calmly picked up his cup of tea and drank it, acting as if he had no idea why Simon was there. Simon felt Josh was too calm and unconcerned for someone who had invited him to come to a place as far away as this, but he didn’t say anything. He was willing to see what this cousin of his was up to. Simon, even though he was seating alone with Josh, didn’t actually come to the restaurant alone. He came with Asher and they had arrived at the designated venue, three minutes ago, before they walked into the massaging parlor called sky run palace.On their way there, Simon fairly understood Asher's worries, the massaging parlor was inconveniently located on the far outskirt of town, on a hill amid the forestry by the roadside, and from the look of it, he had every reason to believe a lot of shady business occur there. The palace was officially a massaging parlor but also had a restaurant and a few rooms for travel
