He took my watch, my precious watch. I am back to my home, on my bed. I don't know how I came here. I was so shocked by my watch gone that I only thought about my watch and nothing else.
That watch means everything to me, I have to get that watch back no matter what.
Tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I have to get it back!!
I had it since I was five and have kept it with me since then.
Flashback :
"I too wanna go with you, please dad, please mom."I cried
"Daisy, let's take her with us. Look at her, I can't see my daughter crying like that." dad said picking me up in his arms.
"No. Henry, just go and celebrate your wedding anniversary with Daisy. Don't worry about Cait, I am here with her." uncle Paul said taking me in his arms from dad.
"Baby, we will be back soon." dad said kissing me.
Then he unfastened his watch and gave it to me, "Baby, look this is my watch which your mother gave me when we married. Keep it with you." dad said smiling.
"Henry, she is just five. She doesn't know how to see a watch." mom said smiling.
"I know. Cait, look when this small hand comes on here then I and mom will come back. Ok?" he said kissing my forehead.
"Ok, daddy. I will see this watch and wait for you and mom here with uncle Paul."I said kissing dad's cheek.
"Awww...that's my sweetie pie." mom said taking me in her arms and kissing my cheeks.
"Henry, Daisy. Go now. Otherwise, it will be late." uncle Paul said and took me in his arms.
"I don't want to leave Cait." dad said.
"Henry. Go and enjoy yourself." uncle told dad.
"Go, daddy. I will be fine here with uncle Paul."I said smiling.
Mom and dad went to celebrate their wedding anniversary. And I waited for them looking at the watch. The time passed but they didn't come back.
Present :
I will do part-time jobs if I have to. But, I will get my watch back. It's the only thing that I have of my mom and dad.
I woke up when my alarm rang. I quickly got out of my bed and got ready.
I went to take my purse and mobile when I saw a new purse and a card. I took and read it, All the best for your life ahead....love you...... your Uncle Paul.
I smiled and transferred all my belongings to my new purse and went downstairs. I won't let uncle know anything about the watch.
"Good morning, uncle! Thank you for the gift!"I said hugging him and kissing him on his cheeks.
"Good morning! You liked it?" he asked smiling.
"I love it!"I said smiling brightly.
"Cait, your eyes are swollen. Did you cry?" he asked concerned.
Oops...I cried the whole night and so have swollen eyes, what should I tell uncle.
"No. Uncle, why will I cry. It must be because I slept late at night. I was too excited about the first day of my job."I lied smiling.
He smiled, "Ok. Now come and eat."
I am not hungry. I am tensed. I can't eat.
"Uncle, I will leave now."I said getting up.
"Cait, you didn't eat anything and it's just seven and your office will open at nine. And it will take only half an hour for you to reach there." he said and continued, "So, sit and eat."
I can't leave so soon. I will have to sit and eat otherwise uncle will get suspicious. So, I sat down and smiled.
Shelly's POV :
Ring... Ring...
My phone rang. It's boss! Why is he calling me this early? I quickly picked it up.
"Hello, sir!"I said.
"Hello, Shelly! I want you to type a termination letter of Caitlin Snow." he said.
What? Termination letter of Caitlin? But, why?
"But, sir, she got the job yesterday and it's her first day today. And you said that her resume was the best of all."I said shocked.
"Yes, I know. But, I have to do this. There is no other way. Shelly, just do it and please go to her house and give it personally to her. I don't want her to come here. She will get sadder." he said and before I can ask anything he hangs up the call.
Give resignation letter to Cait. How will I do that? She will be so sad.
Caitlin's POV:
"Uncle, I am done. Can I go now, please?"I asked uncle making an innocent face.
"Ok. Ok. Go." he said smiling.
I smiled and went upstairs to my room to check myself in the mirror when the doorbell rang.
Then uncle called from below, "Cait, your friend is here to meet you."
My friend? Who can it be?
I hurried downstairs and saw Shelly standing nervously and tensed. What is she doing here? Why is she nervous?
"Hi, Shelly! You are here so early, what's the matter? I was going to come to the office in half an hour."I asked.
"Cait, actually...I am here..." she hesitated.
Why is she hesitating? What's the matter? Her hesitation is making me nervous!
"Shelly, what's going on?"I asked worriedly.
"Cait, I am really sorry but, you don't have to come to the office...." she said nervously.
"What do you mean? What do you mean I don't have to come to the office?"I asked.
Now, I am really tensed. What is going on? Uncle has come to my side tensed.
"Sir... sir have sent this...your...termination letter." she said nervously.
"What? Why? How can he do that? I just got the job, I didn't even come to the office."I said with tears in my eyes.
"I don't know, he didn't say anything. He just said to give you this. He was sad too about doing this. I am really sorry, Cait." she said with pity in her eyes.
Tears were rolling down my eyes. Uncle was holding me by my shoulders. How can he do that? Why did he?
"I want to be alone. Uncle, Shelly, please go to your office. I am fine. I just want to be alone for sometimes and I will get a good job soon."I said rubbing my tears away and smiling.
"Cait, I..."uncle was saying when I interrupted him, "Uncle, please. I am fine. Really. Go."I assured him.
I know he didn't want to go but I assured him and so he went to his office worried. Shelly also went to her office.
I locked the main door and went upstairs locked my bedroom door and sat on my bed. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I lost my job. Now, what will I do? How will I get my watch back?
I cried and cried. I cried till my tears ran dry.
I hurried downstairs with my file."Good morning, Cait!" uncle wished me smiling."Good morning, uncle!"I wished him back."Come, let's have breakfast. I have made your favourite, pasta," he said smiling."Uncle, I am not hungry," I said looking down."Cait..." he was saying when I interrupted him, "Uncle, I should hurry and go. This is the last interview and I am so nervous about it."He sighed and came to me, "Cait, this job is not up to your qualification. Why do you need to do a job now? You can wait for the perfect job and take it. Till then I am here." he said seriously.I have been giving interviews for about two weeks but did not get a single job and today is the last interview for a personal secretary. I have to soon pay Ronnie my first instalment. And I can't tell uncle about it. I really need a job!"Uncle, I want to do a job so that I get some experience. That'
He wants me to become his personal slave. What does he think of himself? His slave??? What should I do?? He won't give me the secretary job if I don't agree to be his slave. And I really need a job right now. He is making me angry."You lost your job..." he said bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at him confused about how he knew this, he continued, "And you won't be getting any job, no matter how much you try, how many interviews you give."Why is he saying this? How does he know that I lost my job? How can he be sure that I won't get any other job? Did he???I looked at him narrowing my eyes. On seeing my reaction he said trying to hide his smile, "Yes. You guessed it right. It was me behind you losing your job and I will make sure you don't get any other job."I am so angry right now that I don't know what I will do to him. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down.
"Move out!!!! What do you mean, move out?"Uncle asked surprised."Uncle, I'm his personal secretary so he gave me a new house." I said keeping my clothes in my bag.I am packing my bags and uncle is standing at the door of my room, tensed."But...."uncle was saying when I interrupted him, "Uncle, I will be fine. And I already thought about moving out after getting a job.""I know, but it's too soon. We just moved to this town, you just got a job and you are moving out. How will you live alone?" he said worriedly.I walked towards him, "Uncle, I am a grown-up now. I can live by myself and when will I learn to live on my own. Uncle, please don't worry. I will be fine. Really. And, if I need your help I will call you."I said assuring him."Ok. But you will call me whenever you need me. Promise me." he said."Yes, uncle, I promise. Now cheer up."I said smiling and hugged him.
Where should I start my work??Ok. I stood up on my feet and made a bun of my hair. I will start my work by removing the white sheets from all the furniture.Then, I started dusting the whole house. It took me five hours to finish this.Why did he buy such a big house just for two people? He is such an idiot. He could have bought a house with just two rooms, a hall, and a kitchen. Who told him to buy such a big house with four bedrooms, a hall, and a kitchen? Because of that idiot, I have to clean this big house. Spoiled rich brat!All this work has made me hungry. I sat on the clean couch and took out my cell phone from my pocket. I will order a pizza."Wow...that was yummy." I said to myself eating the last bite."Ok. Let's continue the work that stupid Ronnie gave me."I said and got up.I arranged all the bedrooms and hall. Four rooms??? Who buys a house wi
"Master, your coffee." I said knocking on his bedroom door."Master!!""Wait for me at the dining table. And stop knocking on my door." he said irritated from inside in a sleepy voice.I sighed and went to the dining table. I sat in a chair keeping the coffee mug on the table.I woke up at six as he said even when I slept at one in the night because of that stupid Ronnie. I feel so sleepy. It was really hard for me to open my eyes and get out of the bed to make a coffee for him.When will he come?I sighed irritated and kept my head on the table. My eyes are closing. I can't keep my eyes open anymore. And before I knew I fell asleep."Hey!!" someone said.I really don't know why this irritating voice keeps bugging and interfering in my sleep."Hey! Slave! Wake up!" he said irritated.It's his voice. That stupid...Ronnie's.O
I said that out loud again. What should I say now?"Ummm...I have some work so, I will leave now."I said and turned around to leave."Work? Who gave you that work?" he asked and I turned to face him nervously.What should I say? I am speechless.Seeing me speechless he said, "You are my personal secretary. And I am your boss, then who can give you work?"That's right. He is my boss. And only he can give me work."So, now that it's clear that you don't have any work, tell me what's yours?" he asked me."Ummm...that..."I was hesitating as to what to say.Seeing my hesitation he said losing his patience, "Miss. Snow, please answer my question. I don't like to wait for answers."I took a deep breath and said in a flow, "You didn't drink the coffee that I brought previously and I gave them to all your staff. And so
"I'm home." I said getting in the house.He was sitting on the couch with his laptop open. He didn't say anything, well I was expecting that.I am so glad that I didn't get lost or anything, this place is really new to me.Should I ask him if he wants anything? I will just ask him, otherwise, he will get one more chance to taunt or point out my mistakes."Do you need anything, master?"I asked him."Nope." he said and I turned to go to the kitchen when he said, "But I am surprised that you didn't get lost."He was hoping for me to get lost?? As expected of him.I turned to look at him irritated."You were hoping for me to get lost, right? Don't worry I will take care of myself till I pay you back and get my watch back."I answered him back irritated."Very well. That's a good thing to know. I am impressed with your sincerity, slave." he said and smirked.I gave
I am so nervous. What will he say? Will he let me call my uncle to dinner and be out of the house? What if he says no???? What will I do??? I should just ask him at once.I knocked on his cabin door and went in."Sir, files." I said keeping the files on the table. He nodded and checked the files.How should I ask him? Will he say yes?On seeing me still standing he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"I looked at him surprised."You are standing here so I guess you have something to say. If you have anything to say, then say it fast, I don't have the whole day." he said and took one of the files to read.I took a deep breath."Ummm...that...ummm..." I am so nervous.He looked at me and said cocking his head to one side, "I don't know the language you are using. Speak in clear English."I am so nervous and he is making fun of me. H
