Denise went to the pantry with one of the girls whose name was Judy. Judy was a nice little lass and she talked a lot and Denise did not mind because she knew that if she wanted people to like her in this house, she had to be friendly and furthermore, she knew how to be beaten and she couldn't treat people like that. She had to be an exemplary boss.Judy was amazed at how Denise seemed to know what she wanted and she didn't ask any questions as she went through the things packed in the pantry. She wondered when a rich lady learned all these. According to Judy, who had come from an ordinary family, she thought that someone like Ansel would only get married to a person of his status. So, she could never think that Denise wasn't rich.When they reached the pantry, Denise was amazed. She wondered what all this food was for. It was like they were stocking up for the apocalypse. But she had to act the part of the lady of the house and she thus didn't show Judy that she was surprised.They t

Ansel sat there with a sarcastic smile on his face as he wondered how such a dense woman ended up in his house. Didn't the butler find a better person to employ? Couldn't he have looked for someone better? He wondered who was this idiot of a woman to say that his wife, (His wife for heaven's sake!) wanted to give her hot food on purpose because she hated her?

Maybe she has a reason to say so. Don't you Mandy? There must be a reason why you think I hate you, right?" Denise asked although she knew the woman would just spout more no

With that done, lessons to be learnt had been learnt and it was time they called it a night except those who still had dinner to eat.The two lovebirds went to their room and it was after they got in that Denise visibly exhaled. She had to admit that it wasn't easy to act out the part of the lady of the house. She was not used to it but to stamp her authority, she had to.She really wanted to be nice to these people but she also had bottom line. And letting one cross it was like showing them that she could be bullied and that, she couldn't allow."Was it that hard?" Ansel asked, as he patted her hair lovingly. He knew she was young and wasn't used to all this and that's why he was there to help her. He would be her shield and wouldn't allow anyone to hurt even a hair on her head."It was hard. I'm not used to all this. I have to admit that I wasn't sure that I could pull it off. But l'm glad you were there to hold my hand though it all," she honestly said and he pulled her into an em
