” You should come see the fountain, it’s like….. Awesome!!” I laughed over the phone as I was packing up Louie and I’s luggages.

” I see Cody, your explanation tells it all”

Cody was Dylan and Megan’s baby cousin.

Yeah, I called him Dylan.

I decided to because it began to feel odd regarding him with his second name that people hardly knew.

Back to Cody.

Cody was five or six years, I can’t really remember, but all i know is he’s related to Megan’s mom so now he’s related to them.

After two months of moving to Bridgewaters, Megan’s mom and Dylan’s dad sealed the deal and got married so they all went back to Los Alamos, leaving I and Megan’s grandma.

” But you haven’t seen it, did I mention the decorations? Its like they’re celebrating something everyday!”

Well at this point Megan called in and after talking for a while Cody decided it was nice to tell me about a visit to another cousin’s house.

” Really? They must be rich ” I commented in as i balanced the phone between my shoulder and my cheek to fold a pair of Louisa’s Polo’s.

” I swear-” He started when i heard Megan’s mom mumble at the background.

‘You what!?’

“I am being undeniably honest with you, they’re loaded”

I laughed at his choice of words after the correction but he’s a kid either way.

” Well Cody you gotta work hard to get money like that ” Knowing the kids fascination was a new inspiration.

” I will! Goodnight Aunt Jules! I need to sleep, you know boring school tomorrow ” He groaned at the end and I heard Megan’s mom speak up again.

‘You need to learn to love school!”

Laughing again I bade him a good night and ended the call.

Louie was all tucked up and crouched in a ball form as she slept nearly toward the end of the bed.

I guess the excitement for a new town got the best of her. When I told her about it on our way home, the discussion went thus.

‘Baby, there’s something I need to tell you’

‘Okay?’

‘We’re going to New York tomorrow’

*DRAMATIC PAUSE*

‘muahahahaha’

Then she explained how she’s gonna prove to a Veronica that she’s a world tourist.

And I was duly shocked.

But it’s rather time to go to bed, noticing the time was twelve fifteen. I hopped into bed to prepare for my afternoon flight tomorrow.

((((((((((((((( )))))))))))))))

” Mummy!!! They’re here!!” Now it was time for her to wait for me.

She grabbed her little trolley bag and the passenger bag as she ran out of the room down the stairs.

Someone got enough sleep.

I picked the remaining two boxes and went after her lead.

I arrived at the bottom of the steps to receive a shock of the minute.

” Mummy!!” Louisa shouted and ran to hug my waist.

“Err… Baby is something wrong? You saw me a minute ago?”

” Then I didn’t see you for ten whole seconds ” She whined as her grip tightened.

I heard footsteps approach our widely opened front door ‘courtesy of Louisa’and Collin the one in charge of Mr McConnell’s transport business in Bridgewaters.

When you work as his secretary you get to meet almost all his employees worldwide.

He jogged into the living room panting like he needed more than a glass of water.

” I’m so sorry Miss Shawn, but I tried to put her in a seatbelt then she went all haywire on me and ran away ” Still trying to catch his breath.

” So uh- Louie… You missed me for ten seconds huh?” I crossed my arms around my chest and glared at her.

She huffed and pouted then walked out voicing out her tiny mind.

” Fine, I’ll be held by those barriers ”

And she angrily stomped out of the room.

“Attention passengers, our planewill be landing very soon. Please fasten your seatbelt” The voice boomed out of the speakers and woke me up from the little slumber I had fallen into.

But Louie who clearly refused to stay in her seat that was paid for, insisted i carried her through the whole ride was currently on my chest snoring with her mouth slightly open.

The plane landed smoothly and in no time we alighted the flight to get our luggage.

From my last discussion I had with Mr McConnell when he called during our ride to the airport, he informed me that someone would be by the airport with a black Range Rover to pick me up.

Still carrying Louie in my arms and securing our boxes, I felt a light tap on my shoulder.

” Excuse me and sorry for the inconvenience, but are you Miss Shawn?” A guy not more than two years older than me asked when I commended his presence.

” Yes, yes I am. You must be the Mr Smith I’m supposed to meet here right?” I collected my last box from the host and then gave him my full attention.

” Yes ma’am, and it’s just Smith” He smiled and extended his hand for a handshake.

Adjusting Louie’s position so she can be placed on one arm i shook back.

” Okay, and it’s just Jules” I smiled at him.

” May I?” He asked offering to take the sleeping baby in my arms away. I made no hesitation to do so and it seems like he noticed it cause he chuckled.

He pulled one of the trolleys and carried Louisa to the car while I took on the rest.

He placed her on the backseat gently so as to not wake her before coming to arrange the things I’d placed in the trunk.

I took the passenger seat as he entered to drive.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

” Where are we going now?” Its was already late outside and I was suspecting it should be some time past nine.

Our flight was to leave by one PM but due to few adjustments made we left a few after three.

” Well, before you came in late, i called Mr McConnell about his plan’s ” He started the car and began moving.

” So what did he say?”

” His plan’s were when you arrive early, you’d go to the office and meet your new employer. But it was running late and I called him to know if plan’s had changed, but he said no. He told him to wait behind for you so your employer is still very much around and waiting for you ”

I looked around to check for anything i can use to neaten up myself then I saw my bag.

After dusting on little powder and re-applying my lipstick i turned to face Smith.

” How do I look?”

He took his eyes off the steering wheel for a second to glance at me.

After a short whistle and wiggling of his eyebrows he replied.

” Beautiful, your boss is gonna have a hard time keeping his hands to himself ”

Smith wasn’t so bad looking, just an average handsome guy though with a charming personality.

I laughed at his comment and cross checked my image in the side view mirror, though the place is dark as night I just needed to adjust the bangs of hair covering the scar at the root of my hairline so it won’t be visible.

” You sound like you don’t know who I’m going to meet” I asked him out of curiosity.

” Honestly, I don’t. I work for Mr McConnell yes, but as the manager of his transportation business here in New York and not Brooks and Shields Companies”

Mr McConnell was a multimillionaire.

A few seconds later the car came to a stop at the front of a brightly illuminated building with a logo wide across the top.

” Here I go” I smiled at Smith.

” Good luck, I’ll be here with your kid till you’re out ”

I mouthed a thanks and threw one last glance at the sleeping angel before walking out of the car.

I walked into the reception area and saw a young lady seated there.

Probably waiting for me I guess.

” Hey, I’m here to see your Boss. A Mr McConnell too i suppose ” Then I showed her the permission slip.

” Finally, we’ve been waiting all day. I’m Clarissa. Mr McConnell’s son’s office is on the sixth floor, the double doors straight ahead ”

Well she seemed excited to see me.

And I’m just realising how dumb i was not to connect the two names and notice my new employer is his son.

I nodded with a smile and went for the elevator.

I arrived on the sixth which happens to be the final floor and saw the double doors straight ahead.

I gave a knock the first time but no reply. Second, third and fourth.

So I pushed down the handle and opened the door.

And the sight I met with was not one i was expecting.

The back of a stark naked red haired girl who was simply bouncing up and down the man she was straddling.

Her hair in heavy waves blocked my view of who I assumed to be my boss but their moans and grunts were enough to tell me this wasn’t something that’ll get finished tonight.

They weren’t even aware that someone walked in on them.

” Fuck, just there, just there baby… Ahhhh” Exact words which were vomited from the nude girls mouth and I had enough.

I cleared my throat ” Uhm, Mr McConnell?”

” What do you want!?” This was the girls retard reaction to my presence, not even shock.

Maybe she’s used to getting walked in on her having sex at night with her boss in the office.

The man she straddled just laughed at her retort and pulled her lips down for a kiss.

” How may I- ” He started but his eyes widened by inches

“WHAT!?” he arranged his position so he could see me clearly but I was not at all who he expected to see.

And I could say the same for myself because my mouth fell open in shock.

Life is playing tricks on me, isn’t it!?
