Maddie's younger brother Mathew has a thing for her best friend Audrey, now that's one interesting twist. What will happen next? Keep reading to find out!!! XOXO
After breakfast, Maddie and Audrey had their movie marathon for the rest of Wednesday. Thursday was quite uneventful until the early hours of the evening. Maddie spent most of the day surfing the internet, stalking Jake Conat. She still couldn't believe she would be living in the same apartment with him starting the following week. Breathing the same air as a legend as him. Mathew too was indoors throughout the day, which was unlike him but Maddie was glad, at least he wasn't outdoors causing trouble like he used to. It was in the early hours of the evening that she got a call from an unknown caller. She hesitated but picked the call eventually. "I am Steve Wills, Mr Jake Conat's lawyer. Can we meet up so you can sign the employment contract? I will text you the address," the man on the other line was straight to the point and as soon as Maddie muttered an "Okay," he hung up. An hour later, Maddie was all set to go meet Jake's lawyer. He had sent her the address a few minutes afte
Maddie was confused but of course she had to keep her smile on as she kept her gaze on little Andrew. "We are going shopping?" she muttered, her tone questioning. Andrew didn't reply with words, he just gave her a full blown smile, sheer excitement dancing in his eyes. "Here," the butler's voice made Maddie avert her gaze from Andrew to him. His hand was stretching out a small envelope towards her. "Umm, what is this?" she asked, taking the envelope, unsealing it, and then slipping her mid-finger and index-finger into it. She took out a black card and the confusion playing on her face grew. "Mr Conat wants you to get new clothes," the butler offered her an explanation when she turned to look at him, her expression questioning. Maddie frowned, and then started to return the card into the envelope, stretching it out to him after sealing it back. "I don't need new clothes," she told the butler point-blankly. First it was buying her and her brother dinner and now he wanted get her
One look at the price tag and Maddie froze, literally. The butler hadn't exactly given her a say as to where they were going to be shopping but of course Maddie had an inkling before they got there that it would be one of those high end shopping malls and she had been damn right. Although she had changed her clothes before they had left her place to something less casual, Maddie still felt out of place at the very exquisite shopping mall they were at. Everything in the mall was so classy and expensive, ranging from the clothes to the shoes and then to the other accessories. And the people going in and out of the mall were too. Everyone except for her… "That would look great on you Miss Maddie. Go try it out," Andrew's excited voice rang out as he pointed at a red frilly strapless dress with a slit on one side. The dress was made of organza material. Maddie could tell because she had always had an interest in fashion and clothes, and having a friend like Audrey who was quite the fashio
The female attendant that had been waiting on Andrew Conat and Maddie was a brunette. Hearing Andrew's single word, she immediately made her way towards him, maintaining a safe distance and bowing slightly. "Get your boss here now!" Andrew told her and she immediately ran to do as he had ordered. Maddie was confused as she looked from Andrew to the butler who just kept a straight face not uttering a single word. What the hell was going on? she wondered. The female attendant returned soon after with an elderly man that was bald. "Is something the matter young Mister Conat?" the elderly man addressed Andrew. "Do you know how much I hate being bothered? I am sure you don't because if you did you wouldn't let these two annoying bunch come to the same space as me," Andrew muttered, his eyes were as cold as the tone with which he spoke. "An…" Maddie wanted to cut in but the butler reached out to hold her hand and when she turned to him he shook his head at her as if to tell her not to
As the car drove smoothly down the tarred road, Maddie turned her head to Andrew to receive a smile from him, compelling her to smile back. Something occurred to Maddie so she asked Andrew, "You didn't go to school today?" Thinking about it, he hadn't been at school on Monday morning either, which was the day they had met. Did he skip school a lot? She didn't like it. Andrew shook his head in negation as a response to her question, and then said, "It isn't a big deal as I am being homeschooled." "Oooh," was all Maddie could say. He was homeschooled? Why? She could think of a number of reasons why but then, was it even what the boy wanted? To be homeschooled? She didn't want to press on the topic but she couldn't quite help it as she was concerned. She was curious too but she was more concerned than curious. She couldn't help but think, if she was going to be a good nanny to the boy then she must get to really know him. "Do you like being homeschooled?" she asked Andrew and she did
"Hurry up Matt!" Maddie screamed from outside as she put the last of her stuff inside the boot of the vehicle parked outside her home. Jake Conat had sent the vehicle to them to help them in moving over to his place. The wind was blowing against Maddie's hair causing it to fly all over, even covering her face. She had to reach into her coat's pocket to take out a hair band, which she immediately used to hold her hair up together into a ponytail. She was dressed in a casual wear of pants and a turtle neck sweatshirt, with the coat draped over her body. A few minutes later, Mathew finally came outside dressed in a tracksuit and a hoodie and carrying a single bag. He moved to put it in the boot as Maddie, who had stepped away from the boot, eyed him. "Is that all you are bringing?" she asked him. The bag Mathew had brought outside with him had been quite small, and it was the only bag he was bringing along with him and hence Maddie's question. "Yeah… Everything I need is in there,"
"Wow!" Maddie exclaimed with widened eyes as she took in the overall decor of her bedroom. The room was Chic and Polished yet Simple at the same time. The room was spacious and rugged. The lighting was natural as there were two large windows aligned on both sides of the room with the bed, which had covers and pillows comprising of soft pastels of peach, and mounted right in the centre of the room. A few metres in front of the bed was a desk with a minimal chair giving the vibes of a cozy workplace as a laptop was right on top of the desk with a few books piled by the side, and a flower vase containing fresh flowers on the other side, and just a few metres away from where the desk and the chair was set up was the door which Maddie and Andrew had stepped in from. Not far from where the bed stood, by the side, was another door, leading to the toilet and bathroom. The interior colouring combined peach and white, including the wallpapers. There was also also a huge wardrobe set up on one
Immediately after dinner, Andrew proceeded to give Maddie a grand tour of the house as per his word which he had given to her earlier, while Jake Conat called Mathew with him to his office study. Andrew started the tour from inside the mansion, from the dining room to be precise. First he gave her a tour of the really spacious kitchen, which was next to the dining room and had high-end gadgets and furnishings. And then they moved to the pantry and then down the hallway to the bend, which led to the living room. The first thing Maddie noticed as they stepped into the living room was the high end materials and finishes, including antique furnitures that provided comfortable seating, elegant side tables and coffee tables, a quite tall bookshelf, expensive draperies and curtains of finest textile, and decorated artworks hung on the walls. The living room like the rest of the mansion had a high ceiling characterised with multi-tiered chandeliers. There was also fairly large windows, which
