Later in the day, Samantha was shown around her workplace. The kitchen, the store room and everything. She was also give the chef's uniform.
She was only allowed to work thrice a week. Those days are; Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Such a little day for such a huge amount of money.Samantha was very pleased. She promised to go thank Mrs Claudia later in the day for recommending her."You're back, Hannah. Would you like a bowl of pasta?" Back at the apartment, Bonnie raised her head from her phone.Sam flashed her a smile. She dropped her bag and hurriedly went to seat beside Bonnie. She held her hand.Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Should I take this action of yours as a yes that you got the job?" She asked.Samantha nodded a yes, smiling so much."I got the job, Bonnie. I got the job. Finally I won't have to lock myself indoors and worry from dusk till dawn...it's such little days for such a huge amount of money. The pay is so huge. I can pay for our apartment and we will never go hungry again"."Maybe you would have gotten a more high pay if you had dressed so beautifully. Loom at your dress, they are so old fashioned and this old glass covered those pretty eyes of yours" Bonnie sighed, standing up to go get her a glass of water.Hearing her words, Samantha decided to speak up. She doesn't want to be ridiculed by Bonnie all the time, "No, it's not that. It's just that I don't want to attract much attention since I am new to the job. I am exceptionally accepted to work in the President's mansion now. Maybe there are some people unhappy with me"Bonnie raised her head and nodded in agreement, "You are right. It's natural that others see you as an obstacle since you are beautiful and outstanding. By the way, how do you feel on your first day at work with our President? Have you seen him yet?"Sam sipped in her water first before answering Bonnie, "I have seen him. He looks more handsome in real live than in TV...but I do not dare to look at him in the eyes. His little boy is very adorable as well""I understand your fear but he is also human too. It's not as if he will bite you. Since you haven't make any mistake, he can't hurt you" Bonnie said, opening the cupboard to get some pasta to cook but unfortunately there was no food at home."Hmm not again..." Samantha snorted.Bonnie laughed, "I got my salary today. Go get changed and let's go get some grocery"Samantha lowered her head. She always feels she is a burden to Bonnie since she has always fed her, clothe her and even buy her toiletries. For a year, Bonnie was her everything. Sam doesn't know what and where she would be without Bonnie in her life."What's wrong?" Bonnie asked."I'm sorry. I promise to hand over my first salary to you. I promise" Sam stated innocently.Her naiveness made Bonnie to burst into a heavy laughter. For a moment, Sam felt stupid but that is always Bonnie. She makes fun of every single thing."Who says you should give me your salary?" Bonnie raised her brows."No one. I just decided it" Sam replied."As per what?" Bonnie questioned further."For everything you have done for me. You always feed me, clothe me... you've done everything for me. I promise you, I will always be there for you as well. If fate put me in where I wish to be, I will never forget you, I promise. I will be your friend, you sister, your family forever" Samantha stated. Her words got to Bonnie real time. Bonnie couldn't help but get emotional. She pulled Sam into a hug and whispered quietly, "You don't have to give me your salary, Sam. You need money yourself. Let me buy this month grocery. You can buy next month grocery. We will keep sharing it like that ""Hmm. You are the best friend ever" Sam smiled."I don't need to get changed. I am okay like this" she added."Alright, let's get going."Bonnie was dressed in a denim short that revealed her thigh and a crop top. Sam was speechless. She will feel so uncomfortable revealing so much skin. But since Bonnie was comfortable in what she was wearing, she was cool with that.They got to the grocery store and started buying everything they would be needing for the house. They bought a lot of things that filled two big carts. They proceeded to pay and everything was packed into four big bags.Just as they stepped out, Sam heard a familiar voice call her. When she turned it was Ashley, she was with Stefan."Ohh I mistook you for someone else but it was really you" Ashley mocked. Seeing how old fashioned Sam was dressed, she got happy. Definitely, life has been very hard for Sam. It was exactly what she wanted."When did you come back, Sam? Father, mother and I miss you so much" Ashley continued to glue her body to Stefan.Miss me very much??Ashley was mocking her and she knows it. In the past six years, none of the George's has taken the initiative to call her. They must be very happy she wasn't part of the family anymore. In fact they wanted her to die but they are not God."Thank you very much, but I do not need your concern?""Bonnie, let's leave here" She said immediately.Bonnie rolled her eyes at the shameless couple, Ashley and Stefan before leaving with Sam."Sam!" Stefan called. He withdrew his hand from Ashley and grabbed Sam's wrist.The moment Sam was held was Stefan, her whole trembled and she almost dropped the bags in her hand."What is it, Stefan?" Suppressing the emotions in her heart she asked the man she loved to the moon."S..am how have you been these years?" Looking at Sam who didn't seem to change at all except for her unfathomable eyes, Stefan was overwhelmed with emotions as he stuttered.With a slight smile, Sam replied, "As you can see I am doing okay. Thanks for asking!""Stefan!" When Ashley saw the brimming joy and excitement in Stefan's eyes while he stared at Sam, she almost pushed them apart but she restrained herself. Instead, she walked over and reached her hand to hold Stefan's hand with a grin while saying to Samantha, "Sam, you came back in time because next week Friday will be put engagement ceremony. You will be there right? By the way, Stefan is here with me today to buy our engagement ring""Ashley, why are you bringing this up?" Looking as Ashley, Stefan pulled a long face."I....""Congratulations! Since we met at the right time, I will definitely attend it" Without giving Ashley any chance to mock her again, Sam quickly interrupted her.After that, she carried her things and st
When Samantha looked up, she saw a pair of black eyes staring at the breakfast at her hand. Recognizing that it was Noah, she couldn't stop giggling. "It's spaghetti and it tastes good"Gluing his eyes on the food, Noah gulped and implored with a smile, "They seem really delicious, can I have a spoon?"Looking at his adorable yearning face, Samantha couldn't help but laugh. Then she patted the sear next to her, "Of course you can. Come and and sit here""Okay" Noah happily answered and immediately sat down beside Samantha."It is a little bit spicy, can you stand it?" While handing the food box with spaghetti and meat box, Samantha reminded him kindly. "Am not afraid of spiciness" As soom as Noah grabbed the box with his fair chubby hands, he took the fork and scoped some spaghetti into his mouth. While eating, he mumbled, "I've always loved spicy food! No one in my family can compete with eating spicy foods with me"Looking at Noah who seemed very hungry, Samantha patted his back gen
"Ama, Mr President is a very particular person. Everyone in the President's mansion should not be looked down upon. So, you must be very careful with your words and actions in this place. I hope you can be meticulous in your job and do your best" When they came out of Nicklaus office, Vickie told Samantha. After all Vickie his personal assistant, so she couldn't make a fool of herself. Besides, Vickie likes her and was part of the people that made her employment a success.Looking at Vickie, Samantha nodded her head, "I know. I will be very careful next time and I promise not to ever disappoint you"Gratified Vickie patted her shoulder, "Do your job well and have a bright future" With that, Vickie left and Samantha quickly returned to the kitchen with a thrumpling heart.It's difficult to believe that she almost lost her job minutes ago.She recalled how her gaze fell into Nicklaus pair of deep and bottomless black eyes. Those black eyes were like black holes which could easily entrap
Samantha cared less about the rumor even though it went on and on. All eyes were on her. They sized her up and couldn't stop making speculations. Showered under their gaze, Samantha lifted her red lips into a perfect arc as she walked into the hall in a graceful demeanor without the slightest form of awkwardness and uneasiness. "Greetings, Miss. I wonder if I would have the honor to dance with you on the dance floor later" A handsome man suddenly showed up to her. With his shining eyes, staring at her. Looking at the man who blocked her way, Samantha had to stop and she refused him politely, "Excuse me, Mr man. I am here to attend the wedding of the Dante's and the George's, I'm not here to dance" As a chef in the President's mansion, keeping her identity was the first rule. Although the man in front her is handsome, it was obvious that he is a young man born into a wealthy family, so it is not a good idea to be friends with him. Meanwhile, the young man didn't take Sam's rejecti
"Mr Dante, today is your engagement with my step sister, take your hands off me!" "Samantha, I know it's my fault back then but.. " "I need to go to the bathroom, please excuse me" Once again Samantha cut him short and turned to leave. His brows furrowed. A second later, he ran after her. "Stefan!" When Ashley tried to chase after him, she was stopped by Lydia who pulled her back and advised, "Ash, Stefan and your sister are very good friends. Since they haven't seen each other for quiet some time, they must have a lot to say to each other. Today is your engagement ceremony, so you shouldn't misbehave. Be considerate to your sister, understand?" "But mother.." "Alright, come with me" With that, Lydia took Ashley out of the bouquet hall to the longue while everyone watched them. "Mr George, what is wrong?" People began to question James on seeing that Samantha left without informing them. James was very angry as well but his anger subside as soon as Freya Dante, Stefan's mother
"Who are you? What do you want?" When the rest room door closed, Samantha struggled desperately to break free from the two women while questioning them angrily. Upon a closer look, she realized that the two women who pulled her into the restroom were dressed fine, decent clothes. It did not seem like they want to kidnap her, but she did not know them either. "Samantha, it's me!" As soon as Samantha questioned them, Ashley walked over and gave her a vicious slap on her face without giving her chance to react. "Smack!" Instantly, the hot slap echoed in the washroom. "Listen carefully, Stefan is mine. Don't you think of getting him back!" Ashley earned through gritted teeth. It was indeed a strong slap and at once, a palm print appeared on Samantha's fair skin. However, Samantha is familiar with this kind of slap because she had endured it countless times in the George's family in the past. It was nothing new to her. Snickering, Samantha suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ashley
Just as Teresa fell to the floor, a low-key yet sleek black car steadily drove past her and the person sitting at the back seat was no other than little Noah.Although Teresa's matte black hair was messy and get body now coveted in bruises, looking completely different from the person she was at the President's mansion, Noah was still able to recognize her at a glance.Upon witnessing Teresa fall at the taxi stand, Noah was shocked and immediately shouted to his driver, "Hurry to the taxi stand, it's over there "While driving cautiously, the driver looked at the little boy from the rearview mirror before averting his gaze to where his fingers pointed. In fact, he had noticed Teresa too but as the President's only son driver, he has to be careful and not involve himself on other people's matter. Driving Noah to ensure his safety is his priority. Not even a single action of carelessness nor negligence should be noticed.However, since Noah has given him the order, he has to go over the
"Miss George, you are awake!" When Samantha woke up, it was almost six in the evening. As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Robert's tall figure and his trust filled face, in addition to the white blinding ceiling of the hospital. "You are.." Almost subconsciously, Samantha put her guards up against the stranger in front of her as she felt a surge of uneasiness. Noticing Samantha's nervousness, Robert did not approach her, and he just beemed and explained instead, "You don't have to be afraid. I am the driver of the Leonardo's family. Noah saw you fainted on the road side, so we brought you to the hospital" Noah? Perhaps it was because of concussion, but Samantha furrowed her eyebrows and poundered for a while before it dawned on her that this man was referring to the son of President Nicklaus. "Noah must lime you very much because he did not want us to leave even when the doctor confirmed you are already alright and will be awake in few hours. He stayed with you
