Ben and Sarah laughed loudly until tears ran down their eyes as they listened to Jared tell them the events of the day, especially what had transpired between Simon and Alvira.Even though it was shocking to hear someone act like that, it was also a great relief, at least now they have someone who could match up with the stubborn Simon, and if all things were equal, she might be able to force him out of the prison that he had turned that room into. "If we had gotten her employed here earlier, I wonder how much progress we would have made with Simon," Ben said as he wiped his tears. "That is very true sir, not only did she force Sir Simon to let others help him, she also made sure he ate the breakfast prepared by the cook," Jared explained. "Really? He ate the food Edda made?" Sarah asked with surprise. "Yes madam, he did," Jared said. "Hmmm nice," Sarah said with a nod, "when did she get off work?" she asked again. "6 pm, she left when Sir Simon had his dinner and had no other n
Alvira came to work the next day, with a bounce on her feet, and the reception she received was the total opposite of the one she got the previous day, today, right from the gate she noticed the smile and the look of worship that the security guards gave her, and like yesterday, Alvira didn't understand why? The previous day, when she returned to the hospital, she had told her father what Simon was like and he had told her to exercise patience and had joked that not everybody was as well-behaved as he was. Even if her father didn't say that she had decided from the start that she was going to endure Simon till the end.The front door opened before she could knock and Lara stepped out beaming at her "Miss Alvira, I see you've arrived, please come with me, Mr. and Mrs. Walker, want you to have breakfast with them," Lara said as he walked towards her with a smile. "Okay," Alvira said as she followed Lara into the mansion,As they made their way towards the dining room, passing maids
Life was an ass! And Simon hasn't seen anything as frustrating as his life. He had gone downstairs the night before to make sure he never saw the face of that annoying woman again, but instead, he had made her receive the approval of his family and even the servants. To say he didn't feel the celebration in the air was an understatement, he felt it so much he had gone to bed in anger, and now he was awake and was still angry. The most annoying part of this was that he had lost all the right to fire her. His grandfather had specifically stated that she would only lose the job if she chooses to quit by herself. How did it end up like this, his grandfather, even though annoying has never forced him to retain any servant against his will, not before her, so why her? Why now? It was all because of that stupid woman who cut off his land phone, if she hadn't, would he have gone downstairs? Or cause the mess that was going on right now? He should have just waited till today to fire her u
Even though Alvira arrived early the next day with the hope of setting a new pace, one different from the futile effort she went through the day before, all hope of achieving that was dashed the moment she walked in through the door to Simon's room. Simon, who was still laying on his bed, welcomed her with a smile. "Miss Alvira, you are finally here. You're just the person I have been wanting to see," He said. "....." Alvira stared at him speechlessly, she had arrived early today but he made it seem as if she arrived later than the previous day.Moreover, why does his room look like it hasn't been cleaned yet? She had better go downstairs and remind the maids of their duty, she thought. "Good morning, Sir Simon, did you sleep well?" She asked with a forced smile.To be honest, she wasn't exactly happy to see Sir Simon that morning, she had come early hoping to have a few minutes to herself before she saw him, only for a maid to tell her, Sir Simon is waiting for her upstairs and
Alvira groaned as she rolled to lie on her stomach at the edge of her soft bed and slowly opened her eyes. It was the first time she was sleeping in her bed this week, it was also the first time she wasn't being woken up by the loud annoying sound of her phone alarm, which she has to manage since she accidentally ruined the manual alarm clock she owns. It was also a day free from her abusive boss, who was no other than Sir Simon. She no longer saw him as her patient, no patient treated their caregiver the way he treated her. She thought with a sigh as she began to get moody at the nature of her job and the amount of stress she had gone through in one week. Luckily for her, her mother had asked her to come to spend the night at home when she returned home last night since she didn't have night shifts on Friday night. Alvira was most grateful for the offer that she ran home and fell on her bed with a heavy thud, dozing off before her head even hit the pillow, she didn't even bother t
While Alvira was planning her day happily, the walker's mansion was fairly the same but for a different reason entirely, Simon woke up this morning with the kind of excitement he had not had in a long time, he had another plan in place for Alvira and he couldn't wait for her to come over. He was so excited, he got on his wheelchair the moment he woke up, called Jared in to help him pick his clothes, took a bath, applied his long abandoned cologne, had breakfast, and waited patiently, as he read the newspaper, which had become a habit of his since he began to bully the poor girl. Hours passed and he looked up at the wall clock in his room which read '10:15 am', he frowned. "She is rather late today," He said to himself then smiled wickedly, "that's okay, I could easily deduct her salary as a result of that," He said as he resumed reading the news that had now captured his attention. Unfortunately for him, his family business news was on the last page of the newspaper, he read throu
Alvira had spent her entire morning baking and making strawberry smoothies, a skill she had acquired during her time as a waiter at a lunch cafe. She then packed the food and snacks into a lunch box and basket and rushed off to St. Josie hospital. "Morning dad!" She chirped as she walked into her father's hospital room. "Good morning darling. Wow! Is that a new dress? It looks amazing on you, my dear." Tim said fawning over his daughter who twirled at his words and giggled. "Thanks, dad." She said as she placed the picnic basket on the floor and sat on the chair beside his bed. "Where's mom?" she asked, her eyes drifting to the bathroom door." "Oh, she was invited by the doctor to his office, she would be here any minute now." He said with a smile, but Alvira's brows furrowed in worry,"The doctor? Is there a problem? Maybe I should join them," She said with worry as she began to stand up. Tim immediately held her hand, "Where do you think you are going, your father hasn't had a
Alvira walked into the Walker's mansion fuming, she didn't understand why on earth her luck would bring her to a man as despicable as Simon Walker. The moment she rang the bell on the gate, two guards opened for her with a smile but Alvira ignore them. She was not falling for that, she was not falling for their trick. The workers in this house were not any different from Simon himself, they all smiled at her suffering and torture while pretending to be cheering for her. Efficiency her foot! she was sure they were still secretly placing bets on how long she would last there. When she walked into the mansion she went straight to the kitchen in search of Jared, the ignorant man smiled when he saw her. "Miss Alvira, you came. You are such a blessing....." "This was not the schedule of my work contract with this family?!" Alvira said interrupting his joyful glees. "Is this the way your family behaves? Threatening people with their salary and making them work overtime?" She asked in a
