Helma walked downstairs all dressed up for her first day. She wore a navy blue straight skirt and a patterned white sleeve. She walked downstairs with her hair tied up as pony tail. She smiled back immediately Mary held up her hands to her jaw and gushed at her. Donald and Clara turned to Helma's direction from the dinning table. Helma, walked shyly to the sitting room. Donald couldn't take his eyes off .Helma Clara noticed her brother's divided attention. She frowned her face "Hey!! You are drolling over nothing" clara yelled. Donald had an apple and left with Helma for work. Mr peter smiled at Helma as he helped her get into the car. Helma smiled weakly as soon as she entered the car with Donald. She opened her mails and saw the schedules of Mr Donald. She set a 10mins reminder to each schedule. His first meeting was with the resource management team 8am. The twenty minutes drive to the office was occupied with silence. Helma prayed silently for her first day, she kept repeatin
Helma closed the window blind, shut the system, switched off the lights and walked out of her office. It has been nine hours already. She stood outside Donald's office and waited for Donald come out. She waited for 5 minutes and went inside his office. Donald sat on his couch and stared at Helma. "I have been waiting outside your office for ages sir, we have closed for the day" Helma said with a frown.Donald chuckled at Helma's protest. He watched her grumble and said a thousand words under her breathe. "Come sir" he commanded making room for her in the coach. Helma sat down without looking at Donald. Donald noticed the perfume she wore. He has been perceiving it all day. "If you keep smelling like this, I wouldn't be able to control myself" he whispered leaning towards her neck. Helma looked at him surprised."Is something wrong with my choice of perfume sir" Helma asked controlling her breathe. She couldn't understand why this young man was always putting her on edge. "Vanilla and
Donald returned to his room smiling widely. He laid on his bed feeling fulfilled and happy. He has never enjoyed the company of any woman since his mother's death. Donald tossed on his bed thinking about Helma. He smiled at the thought of her silliness. Helma smelled like his mom and loved green just like his mom. Donald's thoughts were Interrupted by a buzz from his phone. It was from work.Clara laid on her bed in pink pj's and a sleep mask. She got up from bed at the buzz of her phone. She yawned while picking up her phone. "Hello" the voice sounded so familiar. Clara pupped eyes widened at the sound of voice. "Jay? Jay? Is that you?" She stutters. Jay and Clara talked for almost ten minutes. Clara giggled like a love struck teen. She played with her hair and would smile at anything he says. Clara floated in space. She had butterflies. At dawn, Helma woke up to join Mary fix breakfast. She wasn't as nervous as she was the day before. Mary and Helma fixed fried potatoes, eggs and c
Donald woke up at 3am and went to the library. He sat down and went through the company's record, growth, stocks and previous trade partners. He went through the list of employees, hired and sacked. He smiled when he came across a familiar name. Christopher. Christopher was his first personal assistant and secretary. He was more than an employee, he was a brother. Unfortunately, Christopher decided to emback on monastery. He became a monk. He went through other files and found the names of other hired secretaries. None of them lasted a three months. The male secretaries would inflate figures to earn extra and the females would always try to get to Donald's bed. Donald would eventually get them to his bed but will get rid of them the next morning. In his words "such behavior are not healthy for business". He went through the list and smiled again at Helma's name. His beautiful one night stand.Donald sat on couch in the study and went through the stock files. His attention was div
Saturday morning, Helma supervised the janitors. She instructed and kept an eye on them. She made breakfast and asked Peter to call the siblings for breakfast. Clara came downstairs and looked at Helma with contempt. Clara hated her guts each day, she went to meet up with her friends to device a way to kick Helma out of her brother's life. Donald came down for breakfast and smiled warmly at Helma. During breakfast, Helma reminded Donald of their dinner by 9pm and the mail sent in by Franco groups. " Sir, you are 10mins late for gym, we are attending Paul walker's dinner party by 9pm. Franco groups also sent a mail. They are scheduling a meeting with you on Monday morning 10am. She reminded. Donald Nodded and continued his meal. Helma freshened up and went to the salon to get her hair and nails ready for the party. She didn't want to embarrass Donald looking like a bag of potato at an influencial meeting like this. Immediately Helma walked to the salon, she met Clara and h
Donald walked out of his shower and stood before his mirror. He had a sack on his chest. He has never felt bad for scolding anyone before. A small voice kept reminding Donald that he did something wrong. He puffed out the air in his mouth and got ready for the party. He wore a black suit and unboxed the gift Helma got for him. It was an emerald colored tie and a cufflink. He smiled at the present and wore it. The tie matched perfectly with his suit. He styled his hair with a comb and wore his perfumes. He walked downstairs and stood by the stairs waiting for Helma. Helma hurriedly wore a black stiletto heels, a white dress that flared from her bellybutton with a one should sleeve, Emerald jewelries, and a black purse to match her heels. She applied a light make-up and fixed her ruined hair. Helma walked downstairs with her heart raising. She hasn't attended a dinner party before let alone a sophisticated one. She exchanged glances with Donald who was dumbfounded at the sight of her.
Helma had a forced smile on her face throughout the event. She greeted Donald's clients warmly and fought hard to forget everything that has happened earlier. From Clara's clash, to Tina's embarrassment. Donald checked his watch and it was already past 11pm ."we should get going princess" he said standing up. Helma nodded and immediately felt the pressure to use the rest room."I am sorry sir, I really need to use the restroom quick" she responded in a rush. Before Donald gave his permission, she left in a haste. On her way to the bathroom, she pumped on a family figure. "I am sorry sir" she muttered. Helma looked at the person in front of her and froze. Her urging bathroom pressings disappeared."Kelvin" Helma stutters. She could barely recognize him. He wore an expensive suit and a diamond ear ring. Kelvin stood with his hands in his pocket and stared at the dumbfounded lady in front of him. "Are you done staring, you should close your mouth! You are drolling miss" he spat at her. H
Helma stepped out of the shower and tried her hair. She applied her face lotion and picked her sheep pjamas she got from the mall. She hanged Donald's suit on the couch and arranged her bed. She switched off the bedside lamp and her door went opened. It was Donald. He had a sky blue pjamas on. "Can I come in Helma" he asked with a soft cold voice. Helma nodded and he locked the door. "I...... I... I mean, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was..." He stuttered and Helma completed his words "upset". Donald sat on her bed and looked at the sheets trying to avoid her gaze. "I shouldn't have yelled at you the way I did. I couldn't control myself. The thought and sight of seeing you in the arms of another man got me angry" she blurted out. "I am sorry you had to go through all that today. From the bully to everything. I am sorry I put you through all this" Donald apologized with sincerity in his voice. Helma smiled plainly and stared at him "it is not your fault sir. You should apologize" she
