“Okay, alright then.” She had a big smile on her face, and hung up the phone all excited.
“You, get over here!” She yelled towards Abigail, and gestured her to come to her.
Abigail turned off the faucet, and only then she realized that Stacy was calling for her. She stood there, not understanding what Stacy wanted from her.
“Hurry up!” Stacy was getting inpatient, and yelled again, “Go and get changed, we are going out!”
“Me?” Abigail pointed at herself, still not sure.
“Of course you! Go on now!” Annie was standing on Stacy’s side, waving towards Abigail, her eyes still evil as usual.
Abigail looked towards upstairs, where Mrs. Caunter was still waiting for Abigail to take care of her, she couldn’t just leave her.
“Granny…”
“Granny has a lot of people taking care of her, you, get over here!” Stacy yelled, and then told another maid to come to her, “Go, you don’t need to do anything else today, only to take care of Mrs. Caunter.”
The maid didn’t dare to not do as Miss Stacy told her, so she only nodded and started walking upstairs.
“Get back here.” She looked at Abigail’s dress, and suddenly had a new idea, “Change clothes with her.”
“But…” The maid looked at the maid’s uniform that she was wearing, and didn’t move.
“What are you waiting for? Do you need me to beat you up first?” Stacy raised her fist and waved it in the air, which caused the maid to be so scared that she pulled in her head like a turtle. Abigail was feeling sorry for the maid, so she said from herself, “Let’s just switch.”
Abigail was all dressed in a maid’s outfit, and was following Stacy and Annie out of the Caunter’s house, going to Bill’s house. Bill, who was dressed as handsome and elegant as usual, was waiting at his gate, his eyes looking at the ladies, his smile stunning.
“Bill!” Stacy ran to him and gave him a big hug, Annie followed behind her, and showed Abigail who was in the back.
“Welcome.” Bill nodded towards Abigail, his smile got deeper, and said genuinely.
Stacy couldn’t wait to go inside his house, and pulled Bill with her, “Bill, are you living here all alone, it’s a huge house, don’t you feel lonely here?”
“Of course, that’s why I need a woman in this house to help me organize everything.” He took back his eyes, and they landed on Abigail, then they flashed with genuine.
Abigail quickly lowered her head, in her hand she was holding the gift that Stacy brought for Bill, it was heavy, so heavy that her hands were getting numb.
“Take this with you.” Bill who noticed this little detail told his maids, except for getting the load off her, he also looked at her questioning, asking her silently if she was okay.
Abigail pretended like she didn’t see that, and moved her arms, while following them inside the house.
Annie on the other hand was in her own thoughts, all of them were not far from each other, Abigail was a few steps away from Bill and Stacy.
Annie suddenly fastened her walk, and pushed Abigail.
“Oh!” Abigail couldn’t hold her balance, and fell to the front, right between Bill and Stacy. An outside who didn’t see Annie pushing her would’ve thought that she was trying to separate Bill and Stacy.
“You!” Stacy looked at her with her evil eyes, but because Bill was standing right next to her, she couldn’t let her anger out.
Bill reached out his arms to hold Abigail in her fall, and at the same time cause distance to Stacy. “Are you alright? Did you get hurt?” Abigail blushed and shook her head, this was so sudden, that she didn’t even think yet.
She wanted to get away from Bill, but she was held tight by his big hands, “Let’s go, you don’t know the way, I should hold you.”
“Oh, no need.” Abigail took all her her strength, and stood up straight, and got away form Bill’s hug, then she went to the back.
Bill’s face showed the disappointment, and Stacy saw it and felt even more angry, her fists were clenched, if she could, she would’ve gotten on to Abigail’s throat that moment. Only Annie was looking at the scene joyfully, she looked at Abigail and walked pass her, while pushing her another time with her elbow, and smiled at her.
“Let’s go, your house is so pretty, give us a tour and show us all!” Annie pulled Stacy with her, and pretended like nothing happened.
She did it all on purpose!
Abigail finally understood, the only thing Annie wanted now was to get back at her for not helping her with Joshua, she wanted Abigail to know that she will never have her live another good day.
Annie’s little gesture was seen by Bill, but he didn’t say anything. He smiled and said to them, “Right, let’s go.”
Abigail was finally free for a while, she was thankful in her heart that Bill didn’t keep holding her.
“You have a wonderful chat, I will take a walk by myself.” Annie pretended like she didn’t want to stay between the two, and said to Stacy in her ear.
“Okay, sure.” Stacy was always that little girl when she was with Bill, she looked shy, and never forgot to give him a loving look.
Abigail was standing on the side, feeling awkward, she didn’t really know what she should do. Annie pinched her in the arm and said, “What are you still doing here, come with me!”
Her arm hurt because of the pinch, but she went with Annie, and left Bill’s sight.
Stacy was the girly teenager, her pretty face was attractive, and she leaned towards Bill’s body, “Bill, you are so handsome, you know, I really like you.”
“Hm.” Bill wasn’t really paying attention to her, he was playing with his phone instead.
“Bill, what do you feel for me?”
“That… wait.” Bill was suddenly really busy, and didn’t stop typing on his phone.
“Oh, alright.” Annie said to her that she needed to be gentle to him, so she leaned her head on Bill’s shoulder, waiting for him to finish his work.
“Oh, done, so what did you just say?” It took a long while before Bill put his phone down, he looked at Stacy, he was feeling happy, but he didn’t show it to her.
She just said it all, but he didn’t even hear him! Stacy pursed her lips, and tried to repeat her speech again.
“Bill, I…”
“Boss, Mister Prescott is here.” His maid suddenly appeared and interrupted Stacy in her sentence. She pointed to the door, and there was Quinn, standing by the door, waving to him.
“You are coming right on time!” Bill pushed Stacy’s hand away and went to Quinn to greet him, “Finally here?”
Quinn looked pass Bill, and his eyes landed on Stacy, “I thought your brother said you had to study English at home to go abroad and get independent? How do you have time to come here for a visit?”
Stacy jumped up from her seat, and was nervous, “I… I sneaked out, please don’t tell Joshua about it!”
“I won’t, he will notice it himself when he get’s home. We just left together, I think he should be home by now.” Quinn said while blinking an eye to Bill, then he got a thankful fistbump from him.
Stacy didn’t even have the mood to notice their little gestures, she was now so worried about her being caught.
“You should hurry home now, I will ask my driver to drive you home, you have to get back before him.” Bill was playing his role well, to be the helping hand for her. Stacy was so thankful, even if she didn’t want to leave, she called Annie and they left together.
“Why don’t you just tell her that you don’t like her? Or, give her a chance, maybe you would actually enjoy it with her?” They watched the three of them disappear, and Quinn asked Bill. He dusted the clothes on him, and sat down on the couch.
“She is Joshua’s sister!”
Bill also sat down again, he wished that he could ask Abigail to stay, but she was in a tight position in the Caunter house, so he didn’t want to trouble her.
And he answered Quinn’s question in the simplest way possible.
“You two, you actually have each other in your hearts, but you just don’t want to admit it.” Quinn shook his head, and Bill’s eyes darkened.
“Thank you for coming so fast.” Bill didn’t want to talk about it more, so he changed the topic.
“You sent me a thousand messages asking me to get here as soon as possible to save you, how could I not come?” He laughed, there was nothing about their friendship that needed more to be said.
“Are you still looking into it?” Quinn asked him, his head slightly tilted towards Bill.
“I have to, this Annie is a girl of trouble. I can basically already be sure, that she is the problem, so I need to start from her, then I will get my answers. And then, I will get to know about Michelle as well.” He looked at Quinn, showing that he didn’t really wanna do this.
“Joshua is a smart man, there are many things he doesn’t check, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t doubt them, he just didn’t have a choice. You need to trust him.”
“Sure, but I cannot just lie to myself, can I? I will get to the ground of Joshua’s thing. Today, Annie was here, and her only target was to find out where Jacky is, but, he is already dead, so we cannot get any more information from his side.”
Bill was playing with his fingers, his long fingers were making a bony sound.
“But, what I do know now is how important this Jacky is to Annie. She would do anything to get what she wants, god knows why Joshua is still keeping her in his house, I don’t understand.”
“Of course, there are many things we don’t understand, just like I won’t understand why a playboy would like a girl such as Abigail.”
Quinn shook his head and smiled towards Bill. This was everywhere in the news, and a lot of famous models have already asked him if this was true.
“I don’t understand it either.” Bill said and mocked himself.
“I want to see Joshua, and have a drink with him, we haven’t sat down for a long time.” Bill said after a long pause.
“Are you not afraid he is going to beat you to death when you meet?” Quinn showed a scared face, he has already seen such scenes.
“Of course not, because his newest project has a wonderful enemy, which is me! He would never touch me, that is how he handles things.” Bill was very confident about that.
…
When Joshua received Bill’s invitation, he was very annoyed, and rubbed the paper up and down, on it, was everything about him and Harry from recent events.
Who was his real fiance?
People were talking a lot about it, but he as the main role, didn’t really care much, he only looked at the picture that was on the other side of his own.
“Playboy likes maid?”, this was a title that made the news explode, everyone’s eyes and ears were on them, especially the ones who were interested in Bill the most.
Abigail really had it in her, she did get onto Bill in such short time!
Hmph!
Joshua was really mad, and crunched the newspaper in his hand, until their picture was deformed.
Bill Clinton?
What was he up to now?
He took the invitation on his table, and threw it in the bin with the paper in his hand.
