While in Devians room, Vanessa was already done with her chores but she couldn't leave. She had heard his mom's voice. "Seemed like they were arguing about something". But she couldn't leave despite wanting to. She had heard about her, a very strict person just like her son is. "If I go, I might get fired for disobeying him and I don't want to meet his mom" she sighed in frustration. "What to do" she moved all her equipments towards the door and decided to wait for him to come back. She couldn't risk her job. "Where to sit"she then moved to the bed side and sat on it. "Wow it really soft nothing like the brick called bed I sleep on." "I'll just take a quick nap before he comes back," she murmured. Within minutes, she was fast asleep. ********** [Unknown Place] This place doesn't look like where anyone should be or live in. Around it paints everywhere, dirt lying on the ground, cigarettes scattered all around. But let's not forget, the smell. Stench polluting

She froze. Her eyes slowly shifted downward. An arm was wrapped around her. Her heart immediately began pounding. Who's this? Where am I? She inhaled a deep breath. She remembered waiting for her boss to return before she fell asleep. For few minutes, she had already forgot her current situation. He must be very mad at me. On the other hand, Devian was still wondering what Vanessa was doing. He knew she was awake, but he heard no sound coming from her. 'Hold on.' Then she realized. This is my boss's room, but whose hand is this? Her heart skipped. It can't be. She closed her eyes and took her lips into her mouth. She began to turn slowly, trying not to wake whoever it was. When she turned fully and saw him. "Ahhhh!" Vanessa shouted out loud, unable to stop herself. As Vanessa screamed, Devian forgot his pretense and quickly sat up. The first thought that came to his mind was his mom finding out that Vanessa was in his room and had even slept there. He acted witho

“Please, I really need to get home,” she said, hoping he would change his mind. Of course, he knew her trick.“That won’t work. You’re supposed to be with me until after my dinner, right?” She nodded. He slowly stood after releasing her hands, then settled beside her. Vanessa quickly sat up and turned her back toward him, hiding her blush. Devian smirked, already aware of her reaction.She quickly stood up. “I’ll go get your dinner ready.” He shook his head.“There’ll be no need for that. It’s already been taken care of. Let’s go.”He stood up, walked to the other side, and held his hand out to her. She hesitated for a moment before taking it. He then led her outside.As they headed out, Vanessa kept thinking about how much trouble she was in.'I’m so fired.' But then another thought crossed her mind.'Why is he so cool about all of this? And why is he holding my hand?' “You okay?” he asked when she sighed without realizing it. She nodded her head, still wondering why he was asking.

Vanessa paused, holding her breath and silently hoping she wasn't the one being called. She stood there awkwardly, unsure whether she should continue walking or turn back and pretend she hadn't heard anything. Her heart pounded against her chest as she slowly looked towards Mrs. Ashford. “I'm talking to you, and when I do, you answer.” Mrs. Ashford turned to face her fully. Vanessa swallowed hard. Mrs. Ashford's face was now completely void of emotion. There was no warmth in her expression, only coldness as her eyes moved slowly over Vanessa from head to toe. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” “Umm...” Vanessa tried answering, but the words wouldn't come out. She opened her mouth again, but nothing came. It was as if her brain had suddenly shut down, leaving her standing there helplessly under Mrs. Ashford's intimidating gaze. Her eyes slowly shifted towards Devian, silently hoping he would help her. “Madam, I... I...” “She’s just here for her cleaning job. She’s a clea
