Chapter 88: Chapter 88
“ Wait a minute, are you still together with that model?” he asked surprisingly “ you mean Kiara? I’m not talking about her” he scoffed. “ Then who?” he asked. “ It’s a girl, I can’t tell you everything over the phone. So tell me, when are you returning?”
“ That’s the reason why I called you, I’ll be coming home next week” he said and Alfred heaved a sigh of relief “ I sure missed you bro, come home soon” Alfred said and he smiled. “ I missed you too so much and I can’t wait to see your girlfriend” he teased “ you will like her, she s a nice girl and I can’t wait to introduce you to another person” Alfred said smiling.
“ Alright then I have to go now. We will talk later” he disconnected the call and Alfred smiled. “ That’s my little bro, I can’t wait to see you” he lay his head on the sofa handle and sighed.

Bella and Mary were inside the kitchen listening to Alfred’s conversation with his younger brother. Unlike Mary who knew everything about the family, Bella was surprised and it showed on her face.
“ The boss have a brother?” she asked Mary surprisingly “ yes , his name is John and he is as handsome As the boss is” Mary said smiling widely. “ Wow! I can’t wait to see him” Bella said excitedly. “ Why?” she asked “ I don’t know but my heart feels so eager to see him” she said smiling. “ You must be joking, your heart feels so eager to see someone you haven’t even see before?” Mary Was surprised.
“ Yes Mary, I think I’m in love” Bella smiled excitedly “ you are in what? Bella, are you alright?” Mary asked surprisingly. “ Of course I am alright. Why do you asked?” she asked handing a cup to Mary. Mary poured an apple juice in it and gave it back to Bella who in turn sipped it and put the cup on the table.
“ How can you say you are in love with John? You haven’t even see him before” Mary said and Bella nodded her head. “ So his name is John, wow! Yes I have never see him before but you just say he is handsome like the boss is. Do you think any girl wouldn’t fall in love with the boss talk more of someone who looks exactly like him?” she ask her taking another sip again.
“ You must be kidding me, quit dreaming girl. John won’t even look at your direction, he is way more uhm…. You know what I mean?” She asked and Bella nodded Her Head. “ Good, so stay out of his sight when he returns home. Although, I don’t even know I he might be staying here or not” she said smiling “ why won’t he stay here? It’s his brothers house” Bella said confusingly “ wake up girl, we know he’s his brother but they are loaded with cash. All the kids in this family all have their own houses in their names” she reminded Bella.
“ Oh I almost forgot. So does that means I won’t get to see him unless he comes visiting his brother?” she asked worriedly “ Of course, he might not even come in to this house” she said and that made Bella more confused. “ Why?” she asked. “ He might decide to go see his big bro at the office so coming here might just be a waste of time. I will be more than happy if he could just go to the office and see the boss. You will only embarrass yourself in front of him” Mary said and Bella sighed.
“ But..” Mary interrupted her “ No buts, just heed to my words if you still want to work in this house. John is not like his big bro, he’s rude and doesn’t speak to maids. Don’t embarrass yourself girl” Mary said and left the Kitchen. “ But I love him” Bella said sadly. “ Anyways, Mary can’t choose my love for me. I’ll try my best when he returns and I’m sure I’ll win his heart” she smiled

“ Does this mean Mandy didn’t tell Alfred anything?” Kiara said pacing round the room. She hasn’t been herself ever since Mandy told her what she did to Mara. Kiara was getting so scared, she knew Alfred won’t take things easy with her if he found out she was behind it and so she decided to call Alfred to see if Mandy had told him but to her dismay, he didn’t say anything about it.
“ Should I bribe Mandy to keep her mouth shut?” she thought. “ Mandy will never take anything from my hand, she’s loaded with money. Oh god what should I do now? This might bring an end to my career if Alfred found out about it” she sat down on the bed and picked up her phone. “ Who should I call? Alfred or Mandy?” she pondered for some minutes and decided to call the assistant.
“ We are in trouble” she said as soon as he answered the call. “ Trouble i…i.. I don’t get it” he stammered “ Your boss would soon find out what we did and you know what will happen next” she said worriedly. “ You don’t have to worry about that” the assistant said and Kiara raised a brow “ what do you mean by that? I said we are in trouble and you are telling me not to worry about it?” she asked confusingly.
“ Yes because the boss don’t even believe her” he said smiling. “ Really?” she asked and he nodded his head as if she was seeing him “ Hello!!” she said to remind him she was still on the phone. “ Yes ma’am, the boss never believed her and I’ll make sure he shouldn’t. Just leave everything under my control, you can count on me and I’ll never let you down” he assured her and she heaved a sigh of relief.
