"I still haven't said anything about agreeing" Melody blinked at her outstretched hand " Shake it" " I have not agreed" "Come on," Rebecca groaned, " stop being stubborn. We are talking about your future here so just take anything you see but if you don't want me as your teacher I can ask my brother to hire someone for you" she dropped her hand Melody shriek " no, don't do that" "Then accept me as your teacher" Rebecca smirked at her. She knew what she was doing and one just how to manipulate Melody into doing her bidding. She knew that Melody was feeling indebted to her brother who has paid her hospital bills two consecutive times Can't I pick none? I am yet to even finish my high school" it was out before she could stop herself. Her eyes widen I shock at her words and she slapped her hand over her mouth cursing at herself for talking told much "You are not done with high school?" Rebecca was surprised because Hunter never mentioned anything like that to her but s
Melody did not see Rebecca for the rest of the day. Food was brought to her room for her and the same thing happened the next day When she asked for Butler Collins from the maids they only told her that she needed to rest well in her room and that Butler Collins was not around By the end of the day, Melody was already bored out of her mind from being in her room all day. She has eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner, all which were brought up to her room by other servants She was beginning to feel like she was not there to work but yo eat and sleep and recover just like the maids has said She even decided to go downstairs to assist the kitchen staff but with a horrified look, they shooed her away from the kitchen Everyone wanted her to rest like she was some sickly person, like she would faint if she touched anything. She was supposed to be making coffee and serving Hunter but she could not do any of that when the person in question was nowhere to be found not has he sent
Melody whined in her sleep and turned away from the sun that was on her face. She was about to go back to her morning dreams when she heard someone pushing her door open and stepping into her room "Melody" a hand shook her "What?" She groan but made no move to get up "Hey, wake up you need to follow Mr Winthrop to work today" the feminine voice is a maid whispered " Huh" she was enjoying her sleep, she has not had a nightmare for a long time now. She was about to go back to sleep when the name the maid called out registered in her head. Mr Winthrop, that was Hunter's name. The name of the man she was supposedly working for Melody shot up from the bed, nearly hitting the maid in the process "sorry, but what did you say?" She asked "Mr Hunter is waiting for you. You are going with him to his company" Was that jealousy in the maid's voice? She didn't care. All that was ringing in her brain was that she would be following Hunter to work. That is she was going to resum
"You?" The woman called out in surprise before she could stop herself Hunter turned to look at Melody then back at Lilian "what happened to her Liliana?" His brows were furrowed "No, nothing" Lilian gave a fake laugh. She was chiding herself for reacting like that at the presence of the girl she has been expecting for along time, the girl who never turned up to resume work after getting the employment She was so happy when Melody did not turn up the next day after she handed her the contract but now, here was the same girl coming to work in the morning with Hunter. How did it happen? And worse, the girl has changed in more ways than one. She looked more beautiful and there was a radiant glow around her. She cleared her throat and reached again for Hunter's briefcase Melody walked after them with hands clasped in front. She could not understand the other woman's reaction towards her presence but she could still remember the way the other woman looked at her the day she ca
How was she to reply to this question of his? "Don't you like the Idea or is it that you don't like Rebecca? I know that she could be annoying at times but believe me when I say…." He paused when he saw her shaking her head " Of course I like Rebecca" "Then why? What exactly is the problem? She was here yesterday complaining that you refused to allow her to teach you" now he knew that what he was doing was wrong. He was trying to make her feel guilty, trying to box her into doing what he wanted Melody looked down at her lap "I am sorry" she didn't even know why she was apologizing in the first place but she just knew that she needed to say sorry. Maybe not only to him but also to Rebecca. Rebecca was just trying to help her Now he felt guilty "Hey, don't do that" he stood up from his chair and walked to her. He was about to reach out and touch her, to offer her comfort but she flinched. His wolf whined in his head, cursing him for making their mate unhappy. He look
They rode silently in Hunter's car until they got to the restaurant where he usually had lunch. "It's good to see you again Mr Winthrop" a female hostess approached Hunter with a bright smile "regular table?" "Yes" Hunter gave a curt nod "Alright, this way please" she directed him to his regular table in the Vip section and even held out a chair for him "Thank you" he sat down Melody who has been quietly following them drew out a chair for herself opposite him The female hostess's face scrunch up in a frown at the sight of Melody "who are you?" "She is with me" Hunter told her "What? She is with you?" The female hostess was bewildered. She saw Melody standing behind Hunter when he first came in but she never thought that they were together. Hunter has never brought a woman for lunch here except for that snub and it has been a while now she saw them together. This girl was barely out of her teens and should be in school by now Hunter ignored the hostess's
"How was her first day at work?". Hunter gripped the phone on his hand, tight as he stared out of the window at the starlit sky "bad grandma". His grandma sighed over the phone "Tell me". "She is so emotionally unstable. I nearly made her cry today from just asking a question" he felt his chest clenched tight as a picture of her with head dipped low, shielding her face from view appeared in his head. "What were you asking her about Hunter?" He leaned against the wall near the window as he continue to stare out "About why she refused to accept Rebecca's help grandma and I promise, my voice was not sharp" " I know Honey. It's not your fault that she is like that. She really needs that therapy" He breathed out through his nose " But how do I make her sit in for therapy when I cannot even get her to answer a simple question without her crying?" " I am coming Hunter. Me and your grandfather will round up what we are doing and come to you quickly" her voice held promise He stood up
Melody blinked slowly and sat up on her bed when she heard Rebecca's voice. Rebecca was seated on a couch in her room and pressing her phone with a wide smile as she blew bubbles from the gum in her mouth. Her eyes twitched when she remembered what Hunter had asked her. She really likes Rebecca. She felt lucky that a rich girl like her wanted to mingle with someone like her and she would have accepted Rebecca's help another time but she also needed to think about everything she was doing. And take things slow so that she won't make any mistakes. "Finally, you are awake. I thought you were going to sleep till afternoon" Rebecca dropped her phone when she noticed Melody was sitting up. "Yeah, I am awake" Melody wiggled her fingers. She was surprised that Rebecca was still being nice to her despite the fact that she turned down her help. "We are having breakfast together. I was already dying of hunger from just waiting for you to wake up" As if to prove her point, her stomach rumbled
