Chapter 07
Getting into the room, Isabella first went to her bed to sit down complaining about how tired she is and Sophia only smiled at her.
“We’ll be going back to the dinner room Calista… The bell over there is going to ring once Chase is home” Sophia explains pointing at a switch over the wall.
“The bell signifies that he’s home. We have to stand over the dinner room till he had finish eating so we can clean up. And! Once Chase is done eating… He head to his room for a bath, I’ll have you to do the job tonight so everything will be familiar to you” Sophia kept on saying and saying.
While Isabella hums over her side, I listen to Sophia explaining to me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Once he has left the dinner room, you walk after him and make sure to keep your distance..”
“Why?” I suddenly asked.
“Why you have to follow him or why you have to keep your distance? ”
“Both”
“You have to follow him because you have a work to get done, you’ve to keep your distance because Chase hates someone being super close to him.” She explained and I nodded.
“Okay! So, once in the room… He goes in first and wait outside his door, A bell will ring once he’s getting off the shower. Press 7522 on the door keypad and go in… Your job is just to run cream on his back and you’ve to have a glove on”
“Oh Jesus… You guys do all that?” I exclaimed getting tired of hearing the instructions already.
“This is just like, your first job alone. Have you stand to four hours under the hot sun?, relax honey, you’re just getting started” Isabella said from over where she’s standing and laughs.
“Anything else?”
“I forgot to tell you Calista, on no account shall you be seen talking to anyone once outside this room…. Not even us or the guards especially when Chase is home. This is your first task, you hope you do well” Sophia concluded.
“Thank you…”
Just then, the bell rang and Isabella and Sophia jump off the bed, Sophia walked over to her bed and grab her mask and glove, same as Isabella.
“They haven’t brought in yours Cali.. here you can use my spare ones” Sophia handed them to me and after wearing them , I rushed out with them.
Chase walked into the sitting room with two men standing next to him, the men were the same people that came into my parents apartment with him.

Emma cleared her name and got off work, it is already getting late and she feel so tired and sick. Dropping her tag on the desk, she walked out of the store but bumped into Martin.
Just seeing him made her heart race, to her, he’s just perfect in everything.. he’s more hotter than his twin brother Kyle.
When he first approached her, she had thought he was gonna ask her out since she have been crushing on him for some months now but she was disappointed when he pleaded her to talk to Calista for him.
But that didn’t make her jealous of Calista in anyway.
Talking about Calista, she have really missed her. It’s been two days and she haven’t heard anything about her.
This two days haven’t been too good for Emma as she see myself going down every single day. She haven’t seen Calista’s parents since she was taken away and when she knock at the door she only hear Calista mother’s voice telling her to go away that Calista is not home anymore.
Since it wasn’t easy for her to stay this two days without Calista, Emma wondered how pretty hard it’d be for her parents.
She know where ever Calista is at, she’d wish and depend on her to take good care of her parents especially her mother… So Calista’s mother telling her to go away didn’t make her go away, she’s going to keep on checking up on her till Calista returns.
Emma had refused to believe her mother when she told her Calista won’t be back in a year or two, according to her, Calista coming back again is something she shouldn’t look forward to as she isn’t sure it’ll ever be possible.
But she refuse to believe her, she know and believe that Calista will be back someday, maybe not sooner but definitely and for now, she’s going to be a daughter to her depressed parents and make sure nothing goes wrong.
“Hey Martin” She greeted him.
“Getting off work?” He asked putting his hand into his jacket pocket.
Emma swallowed the lump in her throat as staring at him already makes her heart race more than normal.
“Yep. Just heading home, I have to get off late cause Emily resigned, so work has gotten more though and busy for me. But my boss is looking for a replacement” She explained to him and he nodded.
“Can I walk you home?” He asked politely, smiling.
Emma quickly tried to hide the blush that had lit up in her eyes. His smile is the cuteness, when you’ve a crush, everything about them is special and cute to you.
“Yes, sure, I’ll love that” She told him and he took her hand and they start walking.
His hand meeting with hers had made her feel so warm and she pray he never let go as it makes her feel special, at least she can stop herself from thinking about Calista until this moment is over.
“You know, you should worry about walking me home. I can take a cab or something”
“Nah, it’s already getting late. It’s not safe to walk alone and next time, tell your boss you’re a lady and need to get off work early so you don’t get in danger” He said.
Emma nods childishly and smiled. Maybe she was wrong, he cares about her too….
But somehow she felt like Martin is only trying to talk to her not because he feels for her but because of Calista.
