LEONARD KISH'S POV, Although, I wanted to protest since I didn't see anything wrong with it, not to mention I liked the way a black dress looked good on her, when I recalled I saw her wearing a peach-coloured dress the other day. I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy and turned towards Sam, "Buy her a peach-coloured dress, then," I said firmly, my voice filled with determinatiom. Sam nodded his head, a flicker of satisfaction on his face as he replied exuberantly: "Okay Boss!" He stood up, and excused himself, but before he could get to the door, something dropped in my heart. "Also," I said halting him on his tracks. "I noticed she isn't comfortable walking on heels. Buy her shoes with four-inch, something she can comfortably walk with." Sam's lips curled into a smile as he replied with a warm "Okay, Boss," and I began to wonder why he was so calm about it. My brows furrowed, but Sam chuckled instead, leaving me confused. Before I could say anything about it,
LEONARD KISH'S POV,"Concerning what you asked me to find out about, Boss..."

Right there, I understood why she was so free with Daniella, telling her everything in her heart."She will be married to Orlando, a salesman in a week's time." Sam's words snapped me back to the present and as soon as I heard him, I understood why Elsa was so broken that evening."According to what I know, they're planning on relocating to Mexico after their wedding, since Orlando is planning on establishing a restaurant over there," Sam added calm
ELSA ELKINS' POV,The smile on his face froze as soon as he heard me, and after about five seconds, he recollected himself."Wh-at do you need pru-ning scissors for?" He stammered, his face turning pale."What else?" I asked, ignoring his uneasiness. "To trim the flowers." "Ha!" He exclaimed, fidgeting in his spot. "I beg you ma'am, please don't make it difficult for me."My brows furrowed as I thought he was overreacting."I'm not making it difficult for you," I replied , a little irritated. "I just want scissors and then I'll be off."But the words had barely left my lips when he exclaimed: "Exactly, ma'am! That's it." He sighed."I love my job so much, and I don't intend to leave any time soon. Please don't make me get fired," he pleaded, desperation ringing in his voice."You won't get fired," I tried to assure him. "I just want to get a pair of scissors." I replied.

ELSA ELKINS' POV,Nanny Ruth's mouth kept opening and closing as she tried to comfort me. She was clearly lost for words.After a while, she placed her hand on my back and soothed it. "Elsa, it's going to be fine," She said, her voice heavy with concern.But her words only made me feel worse, since I knew it was far from being okay."Although I don't know what's going on, I can assure you that there's confusion somewhere." Nanny Ruth stated, her voice heavy with certainty.At that moment, I couldn't take it anymore. "No Nanny!" I answered. "He never intended to let me go from the beginning." Nanny Ruth's brows furrowed, but I continued. "He never intended to keep to the end of the bargain. I'm going to be stuck here for the rest of my life." I buried my head in my palms as soon as the words left my lips and sobbed my heart out."Elsa!"

ELSA ELKINS' POV,I woke up that morning to a pair of deep dark eyes staring straight into my eyes. My eyes popped open as realization dawned on. Leonard Kish was sitting right beside me; staring at me. I felt a surge of anger within me, but before I could react a sharp pain hit my head, causing me to wince in pain. "Easy," Leonard said calmly, at the same time stretching his hands towards me, while I glared at him, angry.He was dressed already and seemed to be ready for work. I couldn't just understand why he hadn't left.He got my warnings and so retrieved his hands as I managed to sit up, supporting my banging head with both hands."You...are awake," He began to say, his words dripping with caution, but I ignored him.After a few seconds of silence, he began to speak again. "I've asked the chef to make some Wonton soup for your hangover."

"That reminds me, Richard, I've always been curious."As I turned to face her, she asked, "Why did you get into a fight with Leonard?" Curiosity etched on her face as she stared at me.My lips curled into a smirk as I recalled the day I had gotten into a fight with Leonard.After about four seconds, I shrugged my shoulders lightly, "I just wanted to provoke him," I said, a smile on my face."Wait!
