THE ONE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR: Chapter 11 – 20
WRITTEN BY: AUTHORESS MEEYAH
?CHAPTER 15?
Why are you surprised? Can’t I call you my sister? If not for me where would you have been today, if not because I trained and brought you up well. Would you have been this beautiful lady you are today? Anita teased.
She’s my only friend, I’m sorry I brought her in without the boss’s permission. She rushed down here after hearing how I sounded… Matilda explained
So why is Cassandra here, do you all know one another before? Gabriel asked. “She’s here to query Matilda. I’m sorry for using the household’s cup. I learnt it’s not allowed to entertain visitors with the cups being used by the entire household” Anita replied.
You both can come into the house, you can as well use that opportunity to introduce her to your colleagues. I’m sure my brother won’t be angry, you know he takes things simple… Gabriel said to the two friends. “You can leave now and make sure you don’t do what you’re not asked to do in this house, okay? He said to Cassandra and she nodded.
??WEEKS LATER??
“Let’s remain silent, she’s coming already” Matilda said to everyone as they had planned a surprise birthday celebration for Gabrielle.
This is unusual, why is everyone asleep by this time, what if the boss sees this. Danielle! Matilda!! Cassandra!!! She called out their names but no one was answered her.
Surprise!!! They all shouted except John immediately she switched the lights on and she flinched. WTF!!! she said and opened her shutted eyes to see what was happening. OMG!!! She screamed on seeing the people before her. Sir!!! she called on seeing John standing with them.
“Happy birthday girl, we wish you the best in life” They chorused and said their prayers and wishes for her and gave her the gifts they all got for her, including the boss who gave her a new smartphone.
OMG!!! Thank you so much everyone, I feel loved. Thank you so much sir for stopping so low to our level to celebrate with us… She said to John.
You’re welcome. I’ll be leaving now, you all can enjoy the moment while I’m away, but make sure it doesn’t affect your duties tomorrow… He replied and left them.
John I’ll be travelling to New York city in two days time, I’ve got an emergency meeting I have to attend and you know the dinner party is also in two days time, so please I’d like you to attend the party in my sake… John said to his brother.
That won’t be a problem, just make sure you inform your colleagues beforehand… Gabrielle answered “sure I’ll do that” he replied, just then someone came knocking.
“Come in” John said and she entered. “Here I am sir” she said. “Arrange some clothes in my box for me, I’ll be travelling in two days time… He said “And make sure you keep those files in there” he added.
Alright sir! But please make sure you get me something when you’re returning, okay!… She said and winked at him making Gabrielle laugh softly.
Yeah that reminds me, who will I be attending the party with? I think business parties like that requires you going with a partner… Gabriel said.
You can go with Matilda, I’ve forgotten about that. Matilda, you’ll be attending a dinner party with Gabriel in my sake in two days time, so he’ll take you for shopping tomorrow. I’ll make the arrangement of who to make you up and get you ready for the party…John said to her
Me? You mean me? How am I supposed to be at a place I don’t even have an idea of what I’m gonna do and who I’m gonna meet there… She replied.
Well! You’re the only person I feel like choosing among my workers, I don’t think it’s too bad if you represent your boss in am auspicious occasion like that… John replied.
Get yourself prepared, we’ll be going out together tomorrow and make sure you inform others of that… Gabriel interfered
Wow! Make sure you choose a dress that’s gonna suit you perfectly, and don’t hesitate to pick an expensive one, he has the money and you have to look outstanding among other ladies so they’ll know our boss is no joke… Danielle said and her as they discussed in the kitchen.
“Alright ma’am” Matilda replied. Yeah that reminds me, I’ve got different hairstyles on my phone. Let’s check the one that’d fit you perfectly… Cassandra opined
“That’d be great. Let’s see” Matilda replied. This would make me feel like a queen… She said after choosing a style.
CASSANDRA’S POV
“She’ll be attending a dinner party with the boss’s brother, you can send someone to tail them” I texted my boss and waited for his reply. “That’s good, that’s a nice information to get from you” he replied.
Go to the normal spot, you’ll meet someone that’d give you a substance. Pour the substance in her drink or meal and make sure she takes it before leaving. I’ll have the job get done after that… He added
“I have to get some toiletries at the store, I’ll be back soon” I said to the other ladies before leaving since Matilda isn’t available.
Make sure you do as the boss said. It isn’t a poison, it’s just something to disturb her stomach. We’ll kidnap her at the party once she excuses herself to visit the restroom… He said after giving me the bottle that contains the substance.
I went to the mini mart across our street and purchased some toiletries that I wasn’t even needing, since it’s what I lied I was going to get and to avoid suspicion.
THE FOLLOWING DAY
Take this, you should wear it on your neck when going in the evening. It would fit perfectly on the dress… John said handing a necklace box to Matilda.
Wow! Thank you so much, I appreciate this and I love it. I just don’t know how to thank you enough… She replied
It’s nothing, just make sure you comport yourself, don’t cause any trouble… He replied and walked closer to her. “This too would fit perfectly” he said as he fix a clip on her hair. “Thank you” she murmured.
“See the prettiest girl on earth, take a look at me and tell me if you’re this beautiful” she said to Anita as they talked to eachother on facetime. “Wow! I never knew you could be this beautiful, money truly does a lot of transformation in people’s lives” Anita replied as she stared at her with much admiration. I’m glad you met that boss of yours, you look like an adult… She added
I need to go know it’s time for my boss’s departure, we’ll talk some other time… Matilda said.
I’ll be back before evening, you all should take care of yourselves and the house… Gabriel said before joining his brother in the car.
“Hurry up, Gabriel is already waiting downstairs” Gabrielle said to the lady dressing Matilda up. “Yeah she’s true” the lady replied and Matilda stood up. “OMG! You look beautiful and extremely gorgeous. Matilda is this really you? Gabrielle said after a wow escaped her lips”
Awwn! Thanks for the compliment and give thanks to the artist right here that did the transformation… She replied.
Don’t mind her, it’s my job and it’s what I got paid for, so please proceed and don’t keep him waiting. Mr John hates it when he arrives late at a place… The lady replied
Wow! My brother didn’t make mistake when choosing the best candidate. You look more matured and beautiful… Gabriel complimented as she got to him.
“Thanks. OMG! I totally forgot my necklace” she said and hurried upstairs without minding the heels on her legs.
“Be careful” Gabriel and others said as she almost missed a step. “Help me fix this on my neck please” she said to the make up artist.
I’ve dropped the juice you asked me to pour for you two, I’ll get it right away so please wait a bit… Danielle said and rushed out of the living room.
“Thanks” Matilda and Gabriel said as they drank some of the portion. “We’ll get going now and will be back soon, so please you all should stay safe and take good care of yourselves while we’re away” Gabriel said.
“Go and come give us the full gist later” the girls whispered to Matilda as they walked her to the car.
“Alright bye” the ladies and the gatekeeper said and waved at them as the driver zoomed off.
“They’ve left just now” Cassandra texted her boss.
“My boys will follow immediately” her boss replied and she smiled mischievously
TBC…
Hmmn! What’s gonna happen on their way?
Try to understand the chapter before asking questions. I didn’t say Anita is Matilda’s sister, so please calm down while you read.
And to those that said Matilda isn’t cruel. Yeah I didn’t make her character a cruel fellow. I simply asked a question that “Is what happened to Matilda family enough to make her cruel and heartless?” Please try to understand a question before answering or making a comment.
