“ Yes Ma’am” She said and left the room. “ What! If this get out, Alfred might send me out of the house” She sat down on the bed and sighed deeply. “ I shouldn’t have done this. But it was just to teach her a lesson” Mandy said , She lay down on the bed but couldn’t sleep that night.

Next morning, Alfred was up as early as 6:30am. He Took his bath, Change in to a suit and left the room holding his Phone. He wanted to give Derek a call but didn’t because he knew Derek might tried to hide Mara and Vanessa from him. Mandy came out of her room quickly when she heard him closed his room door.
“ Alfred” She called and he paused “ What?” He asked Buttoning his sleeve. “ Alfred, there’s something I want to tell you” Mandy said and he sighed. “ I’m in a hurry now Mandy, We’ll talk when I return” He said going down the stairs. “ But it’s important, Please listen to me” She said holding his arm. “ Mandy, stop being a baby. I’ll come back later and we’ll discuss about it” He said and she sighed. “ Alfred..” She stopped when she saw The Assistant Waiting for him in the sitting room.
“ Good morning Boss, Good morning Ma’am Mandy” He smiled at her and she Chuckled. “ Let’s Go” Alfred said to his Assistant. “ We’ll talk about it when I return” Alfred said to her and she smiled.
Through the night when she couldn’t sleep, Mandy had thought of a way to free herself from Alfred when he found out she did something bad to Vanessa and Mara. She decided to let him know of what she did and apologized to him.

“ Where are you going?” Derek asked Vanessa who was tying Mara’s shoe laces. “ Exercise, we’ve been staying in the house for days now” She said switching to the other leg. “ Are you serious right now? What if He came and saw you two outside?” Derek asked and she Chuckled. “ I don’t think he’ll come, Today’s Saturday and he will be resting at home now” She Said Smiling. “ Vanessa, You know what will happen if he sees you with Mara, Don’t go out please” He pleaded. “ Nothing will Happen” She held Mara’s hand and they left the house leaving Derek.
Immediately Vanessa and Mara were out of sight, Alfred and his Assistant drove inside the Estate. Alfred got down from the car and knocked the door, he thought it was Vanessa who had come back and he Quickly opened the door.
“ I told you…..” He stopped when he saw Alfred. “ Good morning” Alfred said smiling. “ Are you expecting someone?” Alfred asked him again “ No I’m not, I didn’t know you are coming” He said standing on the way. “ Yes, I was passing by and decided to make a stop and enquire if you have Find out where she lives. Can I come in? It’s so hot out here” He said Making his way inside. The weather was still cold from the previous night Rain and The Sun wasn’t out yet. Derek knew He did that just to be sure Vanessa wasn’t in the house. He sat down on the couch and saw Mara’s Shoes on the floor.
“ Isn’t that Mara’s shoes?” He asked picking up the shoes. Derek Quickly closed the Door and took the shoes from him. “ Yes, I was Cleaning the house and saw them under the couch” He sighed Sadly. “ I wish she’s Fine whenever she is” Derek Looked at Alfred who was looking at him and he sighed again. “ Have you found her?” He asked Alfred. “ No” Alfred said still looking at him. “ That’s what brought me here too, to know if you’ve found them” Alfred said. “ Oh Poor kid, Vanessa Haven’t been picking My calls either” Derek sat on the couch facing Alfred. “ Maybe I should give her a Call” He brought out his phone and Derek’s eyes widened, Vanessa didn’t leave with her phone and it was in her room.
“ What if he calls now and her phone start ringing inside the room? Oh God” Derek wanted to stand up and go turn off the phone but Alfred’s eyes were fixed on him. “ I think this guy is suspecting me” He said in his mind. Alfred Dialed the number, it started Ringing but No sound was heard. He tried again but no one answered the Call. “ She isn’t answering the call” He said and sighed. “ I just hope she’s alright” Derek heaved a sigh of relief, He was glad Vanessa Put her phone on silent. But the only thing disturbing him was, Vanessa shouldn’t return home and find Alfred there.
“ I’m Hungry, Can you prepare something for me?” Alfred asked and Derek’s eyes widened. It could be a great pleasure to cook for the billionaire but he was scared Vanessa might bumped in to him. “ I was getting ready to go for groceries shopping when you came” Derek lied. “ Oops, that means I’ll miss your delicious food. Anyways, I’ll eat when next I return” He said and Derek smiled. He thought Alfred was about to go but he didn’t. Alfred rested his head on the couch and closed his eyes.
