CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
“I want him to suffer and die, and that is final… Now get out and get your job done,” she added as she sipped wine from the glass she was holding and gave a devious wide smile.
Tina was already up when the alarm she had set to wake her up at five in the morning rang. She got up from the bed and did a few facial yoga poses to relax her muscles and relieve stress. She gently massaged her head, chubby cheeks, eyes, and neck, then got up from the bed she quickly entered the bathroom and washed her mouth along with her face.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
She then turned on the tap and let some amount of water enter the bucket. As she took some detergent and poured it into the water, she vividly remembered Mr. Gavriel’s words saying that his house, especially his sitting room, must be cleaned every day.
Then she carried the bucket in her left hand, and she used her right hand to pick up a mob stick as she walked out of her room and went down the stairs to the sitting room.
She needed to get her chores done and prepare breakfast before Mr. Gavriel woke up, then she hoped that he was feeling better because of the pain he was in last night.
When she got to the sitting room, she used an already abandoned piece of clothing to dust the cushion and center table. Then she picked up a brush broom and swept the whole place, after that, she began to clean the sitting room.
In less than an hour, she was done with that sitting room because it was too big. She carried the bucket of water she used to the restroom and poured it away as she put clean, fresh water with detergent in it as she carried it to the dining room, and she did the same as she did earlier in the sitting room.
When she was done with the sitting room, she then moved to Mr. Gavriel’s study room, and with that, she cleaned up every room on the first floor.
When she was done cleaning up the first floor, she checked, and it was already after seven in the morning, and she had to be at work in less than an hour since today was her first day at work as a secretary in the office.
Shen then hurried to the kitchen and arranged the dirty dishes in the dishwasher as she started preparing breakfast for Mr. Gavriel. She just prepared a simple meal, an Italian baked egg and fried beacon, as she quickly served it on the dining table for Mr. Gavriel when he was ready to go to work, after which the plates were already washed, so she arranged them inside the plate rack and put the rest of the utensils in the cabinet.
She quickly ate the leftovers as she literally ran out of the kitchen, up the stairs, and then to her room. Immediately she got to her room, she quickly pulled off her pajamas and dashed into the bathroom, where she put on the shower as she ensured that she had a quick bath.
After which she ran out of the bathroom and opened her wardrobe, as she thought about the clothes she should wear.
“Should I wear my clothes from home or should I wear clothes from this wardrobe?” she asked herself, and she wondered why Mr. Gavriel would put clothes, shoes, handbags, and other ladies’ accessories there without telling her what to do with them. Then she became confused about what to do as she quickly glanced at the alarm clock and it was already seven thirty.
Finally, she decided to put on her clothes as she opened the drawer and brought out a tightly fitted gown that had a jacket along with it. She quickly put it on as she quickly walked to the vanity and put on some light make-up that perfectly matched her skin tone and ran a comb through her hair before putting it into a ponytail style.
Then she picked up a four-inch wedge shoe that fit perfectly with her dress as she finally stared at herself in the mirror, and when she was assured that she was satisfied with it, she was good to go.
She picked up her phone and her bag as she made for the exit.
———————————
Mr. Gavriel was still asleep when his phone kept on ringing continuously, and after the fourth ring, Mr. Gavriel stretched his hand in the direction where the sound was coming from, and finally, his hand touched the phone, and he picked it up.
“Good morning, son,” Mr. Adrian greeted his son from the other side of the phone, and with the sound of his voice, you would have to agree that Mr. Adrian was just waking up from his slumber.
“Good morning, Dad.” Mr. Gavriel said as he yawned at the same time the words left his mouth.
“Son, are you still asleep by this time? Would you not prepare for work today?” Mr. Adrian asked with shock when he heard his son yawn.
“Dad, I will prepare for work, it is not like I would lay in bed all day,” Mr. Gavriel responded as he covered himself up.
“Okay, I know you would be a little bit upset that I called you this early, you know, but it is not actually what you think, Son. Your mother is worried about you, and I also need to talk to you, so can you come over during the week?” Mr. Adrian requested from his son.
“Okay, Dad, I will be there when I am chanced,” Mr. Gavriel replied.
“Okay, son,” Mr. Adrian said.
“Yeah, send my regards to Mother and Ivy,” Mr. Gavriel added.
“Sure, I will do that. Take care of yourself. Okay, we would be expecting you,” Mr. Adrian said as he hung up immediately.
Mr. Gavriel got up from the bed and sat upright, dropping his phone beside him as he stared blankly and emotionlessly.
