Chapter 43 Have you lost your mind?
George drove inside the mansion and went to park the car in the lots.
He assisted Janelle in getting down and they both walked inside the house.
“Just two days and this house has changed so much!”Janelle said as they walked in.
The couch have been replaced and the curtains has been changed.
It felt like she’s just coming here for the first time.
“Well, I kinda expected this. You know, I phoned the women that you’re going to get discharged today and you know the typical mom.. she made all this”George informed.
Two maids came out from the kitchen dressed in white and bowed.
“Good morning, ma’am, sir.”they both chorused.
“Alright, this is the biggest surprise!”Janelle laughed.
“But then, we don’t really need maids, do we?. Your mom is…”
“Not mom. I did.”
Janelle stopped walking and turned to look at him.
“What?, why?”
“Isn’t it obvious?. You can’t go about working out yourself when you’re just recuperating.”
“Well, that’s so nice of you but do you know the saying? *First beaten, twice shy*. I’ve been taught once and so, I’m not hoping to go on another one. When the maid came back then, she was so nice and all but then what happens?, she tried to destroy my wedding dress so..”
“You’re just being paranoid, Janelle. They are professionals. I picked them by myself. We’ve made sense agreement and they are not going to stay here for eternity. Just for the main time. They are just here to help you.”George interrupted.
“But, I’ve got you. You can always assist me.”
George sighed softly.
“I would be busy”
“Busy?”Janelle scoffed.
“Yes, very busy”he added and looked away from her.
“Alright, so, you would be busy?. Busy when your wife is sick, even when you’re the cause of the sickness?”she almost yell.
“Janelle, be at ease. I…”
“Don’t tell me to he at ease, you damn man!.”she yelled.
She turned to see that the maids still stood there, their heads bent.
“And what are you still doing here?!”she huffed and left.
George sighed.
He turned to face the maids.
“She isn’t always like that”he says.
“We understand, sir”one of them spoke up.
He brushed his hair before moving to the stairs and taking it up to the room.
He met Janelle there, laying on the bed, her face buried in the mattress.
George sighed for the the tenth time and closed his eyes, leaning on the wall.
This woman is just going to drive him crazy.
“Janelle”he called out to her, in his mild voice.
She didn’t reply him so he went to sit down beside her.
“I’m sorry”
Now, she slowly raised up her head to stare at him.
“Why?. You shouldn’t be sorry. You’re busy”
George mouth slightly drop opened.
“You look horrible!”he let’s out without restrain.
“You’re busy remember?”a tear slides down from her eye and drop on the bed.
“Wh… what’s really wrong with you?. Don’t tell me you are crying because I hired some maids?. Oh my God, Janelle. Have you suddenly lost your mind?. This is is not you Janelle. I guess the poison you drank..”he paused as his eyes widened after realizing what he had just said.
He covered his mouth.
Janelle bursted into another round of tears and buried her head in the mattress.

Diana stepped out of the building and stretched her body.
It’s a beautiful morning and so, she’s going to get a good coffee so her day will go smoothly and be beautiful.
She walked to the coffee shop and stepped inside.
She went to the counter to get her coffee.
“Good morning, ma’am.”the lady behind the counter threw some beautiful smiles at her.
“Morning. Hot Americano. Less sugar, more milk.”Diana smiled back.
“Wow. You don’t like sugar?”
“Yes”
“Wow, that’s a first.”
“By first, you mean?”Diana asked, placing her elbow on the counter.
“First time seeing an adult that doesn’t like sugar.”
“Oh.”
“Yes”the lady smiled while handing over her coffee to her.
Diana collected it and gave a nod with a ‘thanks’ then gave her some notes.
She took a sip and breathed in and smiled.
“I like it more like this.”she beamed.
“Your demeanor says it all. Do enjoy your coffee.”
“Thanks. Have a beautiful day.”
“You too”
Diana walked out and then, bumped into someone and her coffee ended up spilling on the concrete floor.
Oh!.
That cost a dollar!.
She looked up and was surprised to see Ren.
“Ren!”she called out.
“What are you doing here?. You don’t like coffee!”she said, forgetting that they’ve broken up.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“I’m sorry for you coffee. I will refund.”he says instead.
And then, it hits her like a truck of wood.
“Don’t worry.”she scoffed.
“Ren baby. Let’s go.”a lady said.
“I’m coming”he says to her.
“Alright, I have to go. Are you sure you don’t want me to buy you another coffee?”he faced Diana.
Diana looked at the lady that called him and immediately recognized her to be the dancing stripper the other night.
She turned to Ren.
“And you later court your stripper?”
“Bye then”
“You dumped me for her?”
Ren stopped and look at her.
“It’s mutual, Diana. We both want the break – up.”he said within gritted teeth and went to meet the lady.
The lady circled her arms around his neck and kissed his face.
They both headed to the shop.
Ren spared her a glance before moving inside the shop with her.
Diana looked down at her spilt coffee and bit her lower lip then tucked her hair back.
She headed back to the office without a coffee.
All she just want was a beautiful day!.
