“You must be someone special” Frank said.
I felt my ears getting hot. I wonder if it was from uncle Frank’s word or the fire in front of me.
“Looks like you two get along with each other well” We heard a familiar voice right behind us and Frank stopped to laugh. He get off the chair right then and turned back. I didn’t looked at him, I didn’t have courage to. I was all red because of our conversation a while ago.
“You are back sir? You need anything? Or you are here to take her to bed? ” Frank asked.
My heart was beating faster….
“Thank you Frank, I’m fine now. I’ll look after her from now, you can go back to rest for today. ” he said.
“Alright then, I’ll be leaving. Good night Mr. Gold, good night Ms Scultz. See you two at the morning” he said as he bowed at him..
“Good night Uncle Frank ” I smiled at him.
“Ask driver to drop you home on his way home. ” he said and Frank nodded at that ” Have he eaten by the way? ” he asked.
“Yeah, don’t worry he already had.” he said….
Mr. Gold nodded and then Frank left the home.
“What were you two talking about? ” Mr. Gold asked as he sat on the next chair.
“Ohh.. Nothing. ” I said as I looked at the fire in front of me.
“You sleepy? ” he asked.
“No” I shook my head in answer.
“Did you finish the book? Or you just talked to Frank all the while” he inquired once again. .
“I… I still haven’t finished. ” I relied to him.
“You are so slow, I read that in a few hours.” he said.
“You read this? ” I asked in surprise. How can a busy man like him have so much time to read this whole book ?
“Why not? ” he said “I’ll show you the library tomorrow. I have read almost all of the books there” he said with a proud look on his face.
“Yo Willis, I’ll get going to bed. ” Mr. Roberts shouted from the top of the stairs.
Mr Gold looked at him and then ignored him completely. Liam was getting down the stairs “Isn’t he going to stay? It’s already late.” I asked him.
“Liam, sleep here today.” Mr. Gold said.
“What? ” Liam made a confused look on this unexpected words.
“Go and sleep on some guest room. Well go to office tomorrow together ” Mr. Gold said.
Liam was looking at for a while, but at the end he went up the stairs and went to one of the washroom.
“Let’s go to bed now. It’s already late already” Mr. Gold asked me.
I nodded at him and we went to the bed after that. He slept at the couch as yesterday and I sleep on the bed. He came to me and covered me with quilt before he went to the sofa. It was so nice since I could see him sleeping right in front of me.
The very next day I got up in the very morning as someone was shaking me up. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Gold in front of me. He was saying something but I could barely hear him, I turned to another side and covered myself with the quilt again to get asleep.
“Wake up you girl….” He continuously shook me but I wasn’t paying attention to him. I played as if I was a deaf and continued sleeping.
Then I felt someone’s arm around my body. Next thing I know was I was lifted in the air. I opened my eyes with a flash. I looked around and indeed I was in the air. Mr Gold had lifted me up in the arms and took me to the washroom.
“Where are you going ? Put me down, where are you talking me? ” I screamed and tried to get off from his arm but he hold me firmly.
“Get me off, what…” he walked towards the washroom and pushed the door open. He took me inside.
“Why did you took me here? Please let go off me” I asked him.
“Shh, be obident” he shushed me… He put me down in front of the bath tub. ” Get a quick shower, I’ll go get you some clothes” he said to me.
“Ok” I nodded since I haven’t taken a shower from so long. “Don’t be too late” I said.
He nodded and went out of the room. I went with him and closed the door from behind. It was soon, I was alone in the washroom. I undressed myself soon enough and then I went to the na6h tub. The bath tub was so big than the one back at my apartment. It was even big for two or three people.
I took a long shower and cleaned myself untill I was satisfied.
I set my foot out of the tub in a while and then flushed the water from the tub. Then I showered myself. There was no sound outside, Mr gold might took some time. So I take a shower from the hanger and then wrapped myself around it. After that I wrapped another towel in my head.
It took a few more minutes for Mr. Gold to come back in the room. There was so much sound if footsteps as if he wasn’t the only one coming to the room. He came directly to the washroom door and knocked the door. “I’ve got you some clothes. I’m going to keep it here on the room. Come for breakfast after you wear something ” he said.
“OK please go outside” I said through the other side of the door. I don’t know how much he listened to me but he went out of the room and eventually the other footsteps faded away too.
After a few minutes of silence, I got out of the room and peeked outside. There was a lot of dresses in the room. It was as if someone celebraty was going to get dressed or something. Don’t this man know only to buy one set or something?
I came out of room and there was a box at the bed too. I opened it and found it was a box full of lingeries. I felt so much embarased as I took it in hand.
However I wear it and them turned to the dresses. They were so designer and beautiful all of the that I had hard time while choosing them.
I took a light yellow dress up to my knees and out it on me. I dried my hair and the comb it. I wore a pair of slippers as I go down the stairs. In the dining room all the boys were already there.
“Good morning Riley” it was Liam who wished me first. I answered him with a good morning too.
“Yo, you look like a sunflower. Good morning by the way” Sam Robert said.
“Good morning Young master Robert” I copied Uncle Frank as I addressed him. He raises one eyebrow at me as he smiled.
“Good morning child. Come here I have made some good dishes especially for you to try” Frank said.
“Why did you have to do so much for me? ” I said to Frank. “Let me help you with setting them” I said to him and he nodded. I went to the kitchen with uncle frank and 8 saw Mr Gold glaring at me.
As we set the table he didn’t speak a word. Instead Samuel Roberts spoke again “You are such a good girl, you know how to do all these”
I lowered my head at the comment “I grow up doing this. Of course I know how to do it. Please don’t mind it” I said to him.
Lian came and was about to sit beside Mer. Gold when he finally spoke “It’s seat for Riley. Sit there” Mr. Gold shushed Liam and I felt a kind of uncomfortable.
“You, come here” Mr. Gold said as he pulled a chair back. I pointed at my one nose in confirmation. And to my surprise he nodded.
“You guys eat first. I’ll eat later” I said .
“Come here” he said in a bossy tone. I had no choice but to go next to him and sat on the seat he asked me to. So I did as he asked me to.
“Frank, serve us food. We will be going to office after breakfast ” he said.
“Is Riley going too? If not I’ll take her to see the garden outside” Frank said.
I looked at Mr Gold and his brows furrowed. “She’s going back to office from today” he said.
