I was cleaning the counter top when Mrs Smith told me that Dante wanted to speak with me.
I knocked gently on the door.
“Come in.”
“Sir, you wanted to speak with me.” he looked up from his screen.
“I will be having an event tomorrow to celebrate our business.”
“Ok” I didn’t know where this was heading.
“I need you to come with me.” I stared at him in shock. Did he really just ask me to come with him to a formal event? Why not Celine or any other maid that has been working here.
“I’m sorry sir but why me and not anyone else.”
“I don’t know, I guess I am intrigued by you.”
Oh my gosh, was he slowly figuring out what I was trying to do.
“Besides, I don’t have any formal clothing.”
“Don’t worry about that, it’s already been taken care of.” He stared at me with no emotions in his eyes.
“But-”
“I don’t like to repeat myself twice, Hannah.”
Holy shit. The tone of his voice sent shivers down my spine.
“Yes sir.” I halted in my steps.
“Also, rest for today so that you can have enough energy tomorrow.”
“I don’t-”
“I mean it and you wouldn’t want to know the consequence of disobeying me.”
I gulped and dashed out of the room.
My heart beating loud and fast. I don’t I have ever been under so much tension.
I walked to my room taking off my apron and placing it aside. I took out my phone and called the family group chat.
Mom, Kevin and Richard answered.
“What up.” Richard spoke first, fluffing his already fluffy hair. Kevin followed next with a groan.
“Why are you so grumpy, mister.” mom said.
“Nothing mom, just tired.” he ran a hand through his hair and over his face.
“Kevin, I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“I left the country. I’ll be back next week.” “Hannah, the misus keeps asking about you.”
“Is she there now?”
“Yeah let me go get her.”
“So, nobody is going to ask me how I'm doing.” Richard faked a sob. “I feel so hurt.”
I rolled my eyes.
“You literally saw mom and I yesterday, what you whining for.”
“Mom.” he fake cried.
“Shut up you big baby. I would have imagined this from you 25 years ago but now, it’s so so disappointing.”
“Mom, Hannah is mean to me.” I pouted
“Don’t worry pumpkin, you look cute.”
“No, I don’t want to be cute, I wanna be pretty.”
“You’re cute and pretty.” There was some shuffling on Kevin’s side.
“The misus is here.”
“Hey pookieeeee.” Sophia and I squealed at the same time.
“I haven’t seen you in so long, how are you and how’s Julie? Oh my gosh I have so much to tell you.” she said.
“Me too, I miss you too.”
“Don’t worry, I will be back as soon as possible.”
“Ok, we have to go.” Kevin spoke up.
“Wait, where is Julie?” Sophia asked.
“She’s asleep.” Mom replied.
“Ok next time then. Bye mom, bye richard, bye pookie Love you see you soon goodnight.”
“Goodnight” we replied in unison.
“Bye.” Kevin replied shortly before leaving the group call.
“Well I’m gonna go check on Julie now. Goodnight kids.”
“Goodnight mom.” Richard said
“Bye mom”
“Bye.”
“Well, I guess it’s just you and me huh.” I nodded.
“So, when are you gonna drop by the studio to work on your song.”
“Oh about that.” I ran to the closet, got my journal and ran back to the bed. Placing the phone in front of me, I showed him my new songs.
“I wrote two more songs and I made the beat too. On my phone.”
“Ok can you come tomorrow.”
“Yeah I can co-” I stopped myself quickly remembering the event Dante talked about.
“Actually I can’t because I have to go somewhere with my boss tomorrow.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know, he just said an event with no specific details. I guess it’s something that has to do with business.”
“Anyways, be careful and call me if anything happens.”
“Ok bubba. Love you, goodnight.”
“Love you, goodnight.”
