A/N: Hi besties😊, I’m sorry for the missed chapter, “the newly hired maid is ugly” comes before Who hired you”. It was a mistake from my side and I sincerely apologize 🙏🏾. Thank you🙏🏾🥹..In the mirror, Adele couldn’t believe her facials, she didn’t consider herself pretty even with her curly red hair but this Adele was ugly. She thought to herself after seeing the mole on her face and then her somehow wrinkled face.“ I don’t think with this look, I will be hired Grace” Adele turned to Grace who chuckled.“ you asked to be ugly Adele but you never know what they are looking for sis. Try it and if they accept you, I’m going to miss you” she said hugging Adele who sighed.“ There, this is a makeup thing to keep the mask intact” Grace handed Adele a little makeup purse which she sighed collecting. It was mid-morning already when she left their apartment. She took a taxi that stopped at the estate gate to the McCall mansion.Adele wore a grandma-looking gown and stood aside hoping

Adele was shocked, what she just heard was like she was standing in front of God and he just sent her to hell. She doesn’t know what to do or how to tell Harden that she can’t follow the kids to their grandmother and what the scenario is looking like is as if she’s not going then the kids can’t go. She sighs after minutes of thinking. “Ok sir” she whispered for Harden to look at her. He stares at her for some minutes before looking away. Since she arrives at his mansion, the scent of his baby's mother has been lunging around. It has been getting him curious but he doesn’t want to bluntly ask her. Every time, she passes him or stands beside him during his therapy session, the scent lingers. He has wondered if she uses the same scent and what type of unique scent smells so good. That night, he sniffed in her scent that even in his dreams, lingers around his nose. Adele wanted to leave since Harden didn’t say anything, she bowed her head to leave when she heard him stop her. “

At the McCall enterprise vice president's office, Albert sat down with his son facing him, he tapped his fingers on the table sighing. “That old wrinkled bitch, how dare she think she can turn the board members away from me, I thought you said you have Lisa around your fingers Daniel?” He asked his son who stood up sighing. “Yes I do Dad, she’s not a problem. The problem is the governor who also has a share in the company. You know how much he adores Harden's dad, and the accusations of killing Uncle Gerald are still lingering. We need a lot of supportive allies. I can’t wait to be the president and let Harden know that, even if I’m not regarded in the family, I’m still smart and smarter than he can imagine” he said for Albert to scoff. “What if we invite him over for dinner?” Albert asks his son who chuckles. “Dad. Mr Governor won’t…. “He’s a human, all it needs is just persuasion” Albert confidentially said. At one of New York's elite Lounge, Maria sat with three other ladies

Harden bows his head as everything about his life for the past five years is turning a new leaf. If it comes out to be true, he can’t explain how he will react not just to his mother but to his trusted assistant. “Ah,” Adele gasped as the needle pierced into her skin to drag out some blood for testing. “Daddy” they all heard Zia's little voice call as he tiny step rushed towards the study. Immediately, Harden rides his wheelchair to the door. He opened it and drove himself out closing it behind him. “Daddy!!” Zia hugged her father giggling. “Where’s Miss Maya, I made something for her” Adele heard her daughter say which made her smile. Franklin looked at her as he gently removed the needle from her skin. “They have gotten fond of you,” he says for Adele to nod. “He thought them little manners” she responded for Franklin to chuckle. “If what you said is true, a new chapter will begin, and trust me, for you, it won’t be easy. I will do the test and hope for a good result

Gwen happily sat facing Zach who arranged his suit after sitting down. She last saw Harden when she was seventeen and that was when his mother invited her over for dinner warning her to stay away from her son. She felt heartbroken but also understood after his mother explained to her why Harden did not need a woman in his life. She left to never look back but every day, she hoped he would come looking for her, anytime she saw him on TV, the love they once shared had a renewing day. Even after hearing he had a secret marriage with one of New York's popular models, she cried but still felt one day Harden McCall the guy they both had a high school love would come back to her. She smiles still looking at Zach as deep down she prays this is a welcome to the McCall. “My madam wants you for dinner this evening, it’s very important, Note that you might not be coming back anytime soon.” He said for Gwen to look at him. “What’s with the dinner and me not coming back?” She asks for Zach
