Episode 23
Bella
I can’t believe Joanna can display such a terrible character by throwing herself over a guy because she is crushing on him and mom keeps calling me useless.
I took her from his presence and apologised again to Sir Theo before we left his presence.
Immediately we came out from the main living room, instantly she poured her anger on me, saying all manner of nonsense.
I don’t know why she is so upset when I wasn’t the wrong one, I should be shouting at her for coming to my work unannounced and making my boss’s friend so uncomfortable.
I feel like slapping that mouth of hers to keep her shut and let her know she is to apologise but I just overlook the situation as she finally left.
I went back in to serve sir Theo a fruit drink to take instructed by Brenda.
“Thanks for this.” said. I nodded and left.

“Are you sure that girl is your younger sister like you said?” Brenda asked.
“Yea she is my sister, I can’t be lying to you right?” I replied.
“And you couldn’t deal with her for disrespecting you at work, she is lucky I’m not her elder sister I would have seriously dealt with her.” Brenda added and I started laughing.
“Come sit so I can finish your makeup before leaving.”, I said to her.
“Bella school or learning more about makeup, which do you prefer to take?”, she asked me a question which have thought over before.
“I don’t think I need to go to college for I just want to be a makeup artist, just like The Walcott home of makeup,” I said to her wishing about it.
“It will come true, give me the best transforming make up please”, she said and I accepted to make her look more beautiful than the previous makeup have been doing for her.

Getting home, I notice dad’s absence from the house for some time now but I got so scared in asking mom, for I don’t know if she might take it as an offence and beat me up.
I noticed I have missed one of my tv shows for a long time now, I had the opportunity to watch it for am the only one home.
The film was getting more intense that was when I heard mom screaming my name, I was like a flash, for I quickly turned off the TV and opened the door for her and welcomed her home.
She just ignored my greetings and asked me to kneel, I started thinking about what I have done again but I just obeyed first.
I saw Joanna crying as she came in and said to mom, “Mom I told you she will pretend like all is fine, she humiliated me in Theo presence and her boss, she scolded me and even sent me out from Mrs Wilson, home, I just wanted to check on my sister.” She increases the volume of her voice and tears.
I became so dumb at the situation, she just lied to mom before I could explain to my mother, have received her resounding slap like thunder all over and Joanna was happy about it.

I was expecting Bella to be among the maid that will be sleeping over tonight for some excess work that will be done very early.
Maybe I should request Brenda to start including a night for Bella, this will enable me to see her beautiful face night and day.
Brenda walked to me and extended her polite greetings which I responded politely.
“Sir there is something I need to tell you”, she said.
” What could that be? I’m listening, hope it is worth my time?”.
“I’m sorry sir for entering your privacy, I overheard when you were telling your friend, sir Theo, about Bella going to college?” she said.
“How did she know about this, I should fire her this moment, I shouldn’t just conclude, right? Let me hear her complete version before reacting.” I argued within me.
” What about it”, I said.
“Bella is a good makeup artist, remember when you came home, you commented on the makeup I was wearing, it was done by her, I would love you just sponsor her to learn more”, she said and it was obvious she likes Bella very well to say such but that doesn’t mean I should let my guard down in her presence.
“Don’t you ever eavesdrop on any of my conversations, is that taken?” I asked rudely and she nodded.
“Good then, for next time I won’t take it likely with you”, I said before going to my room.
I deliberated on the stuff she just told me and I concluded it will be great but I just need to indirectly confirm from Bella.

I left the company before noon for I needed to see Bella, I don’t know if I was missing her but I just had to see her.
I already informed Brenda earlier to release Bella by 2 pm, she knows what to do and others that’s why I always give her a bonus all the time after she has received her payment.
I asked one of the maids where Bella was and I was told she was in the kitchen, as usual, I went in and cover her eyes from behind to guess.
I got so angry when she mentioned another guys name and she started laughing at it, I forgot I was angry for I got carried away with beautiful smiles, my heartfelt at ease that she was the one for me.
“Sir?” She called and I got myself back from my deep thoughts.
“Have told you to stop the sir thing, anyway we are hanging out.” I said to her.
I expected her reaction, as usual, that’s why I pulled her and forced her out of the kitchen and she quietly obeyed and entered my car and we zoomed off.
I took her to a quiet place where we can have private time without bloggers upload of Cinderella this time around.
She continued sipping from her drink, I could easily detect she was shy, I smiled at this and said to her, “Bella I wish to know you more”.
She refuses to have eye contacts with me for I notice she never saw the question coming.
“Please be free with me Bella, stop looking at me as your boss, just accept me as your friend okay and discuss with me as a true friend”, I said with all seriousness holding her hands.
I asked her so many questions and she did the same as well, we interacted about many things and chess to some similarities we both had.
She just kept on brightening me more and more without her knowing.
I finally asked her what she loves doing best, “I love to make people up, that alone gives me peace and joy when am doing it” she replied.
Brenda was right. “Which of the make up home have you been wishing to learn from?” I threw another question.
“Truth be told, I love Mrs Walcott so much, she is my mentor and everything, I love to see her one day and work with her, but I doubt if that could happen”. She added.
I know I’m the one to make that wish come true for Mrs Walcott is Theo mother.
“Can I ask a question? Hope you won’t get offended by it”, she said to me.
“Go on with the question, ask me anything and I promise never to get mad at any of it”, I gave her my assurance.
“The lady that met us at our first outing and also the one you came home with the other time, is she your girlfriend?” She asked the question and took more drink for I notice she was unease after asking.
“I’m sorry for asking such, never mind”, she added.
I held her hands close to my chest and said, “I do mind, she is not my girlfriend, she is a friend throwing herself at me okay? Can you feel how fast my heart is racing? It’s because of you” She nodded.
“I’m sorry for I didn’t know when those words came out, please and please from now henceforth don’t look at me as your boss for I don’t look at you as my maid Bella but a friend okay”.
“Okay sir, oops sorry Kyle, can we get going for I need to make some cleaning before going home”
“Can I hug you?” I asked her and she accepted and my heart rejoiced.

“No no, Kyle this is not you, firstly you wish to send her to college, now you want to sponsor her in learning makeup, not just in any makeup home but my mom’s make up home, this is crazy,” Theo said to me.
“Please Theo, please, just help me, I like this girl” I pleaded.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
