Tom looks very angry about what Isabella do and he does not want to speak to her, Isabella walks closer to him and she tries to apologize but Tom  does not want to speak to her and she follows Tom everywhere he goes, in kitchen and other places in the house.

“ Please speak to me, Tom don’t treat me this way, you can’t be silent for the whole day” Isabella says pleading with Tom.

“ I do not want to speak to you for now Isabella” Tom says and Isabella stared at him and she gets sad and Tom walks back upstairs.

The security man open the gate for Pauline and she enters and then she remembered Becky telling that Isabella is in Tom house, she walks to the door step and she knocks and Isabella walks close to the doorstep and was about open it and she move back and says in to herself that this is not her work this is supposed to be Becky’s duty and she walks to Becky’s room in anger and she knocks her door and Becky opens the door and Isabella yells at her.

“ Can’t you eat the doorbell ringing? Or do you expect me to do that for you? Or is it because Tom ask you to be inside here and you expect me to the all the chores for or who do you leave the chores for?” Isabella says in anger and Becky walks out of the room to go check who is in the door, Isabella didn’t mind if Tom is upset with her or not because of what she did to Becky earlier she still plan to deal with her, Becky walks to the doorstep and she open and she saw Pauline at the doorstep and she gets shocked.

“ What are doing here?” Becky ask and Pauline looks down and she saw scratche of Becky’s leg and she looks nervous and Pauline noticed.

“ How did you get scratched on your leg and why do look so nervous?” Pauline ask and Isabella yells from inside and she walks to the doorstep and she push Becky aside and she saw Pauline at the doorstep.

“What are doing in here?” Isabella ask and Pauline smiles.

“ Does here look like your house? I guess the answer is no, so move aside I am here to see my cousin Becky” Pauline says and Isabella gets surprised the way she spoke to her.

“ Step aside, or I will help you out” Pauline says says and Pauline move Isabella aside and she enters the house and Isabella gets angry and she says in her mind that Becky will pay for what Pauline did, Becky and Pauline to the kitchen.

“ How did this happen?” Pauline ask.

“ Isabella sent me out in the rain and so Tom saw me on the roads going in the heavy rain and he brought me back home and my leg hit the stone” Becky says and Pauline smiles that Becky is such a fool, her fellow woman aimed her message in a heavy rain mad she went couldn’t been fight for her right what a pity.

“ This is not right, what did Tom did about this?” Pauline ask.

“ I do not want to talk about that, tell me what are doing here? You can’t stay here for long because Isabella is very crazy “ Becky says.

“ I do not care about her” Pauline says.

Are you scared of her? I expect you to be smart” Pauline says and Becky still lol confuse because of Isabella.

“ I know that I should be smart enough but remember Isabella is from a rich hole and already she does not want me here in this house, she has been frustrating my life”Becky says and Pauline laughs at her.

“ What is so funny?” Becky ask.

“ What you just said it’s funny dear, listen I know that you want you work but sometimes you need to use brains if that you have accepted for Mike, Isabella will not have the nerves to speak to you or order the way she wants, what am I even saying you will not still be working here as a common maid, use your heard dear cousin” Pauline says and Becky stood and she think about what Pauline said.

“ But I think that you really prefer the way Isabella is treating you seems you are enjoying it right?” Pauline asks and she smiles and Becky could not speak.

“ Only of you accept for Mike your life will change and you will be able take your revenge back and speak back to Isabella the way you like but if you still want continue working like a maid then you can stay, so that Isabella will not only send out in the rain but one day maybe kill you” Pauline says and Becky open her eyes wild.

“ Because since, she can send you out in the heavy rain then tell me who is she not send kidnappers or send maybe her body’s to kill you, she is heartless and she also has the money but only if you too you have a strong boyfriend like Mike you will be able to fight back or else you will be kill like a local fowl” Pauline says and Becky yells at her.

“ Just shut up alright and please stop talking about this, I think you should start going now” Becky says.

“ I will take my leave now but you should think about what I said earlier and I hope the witch will go to office tomorrow morning so we can go shopping” Pauline says and she left and Becky stood in the kitchen and she remembered the way Isabella send out in the heavy rain and how she got hurt by the stone and how Isabella has been treating her and speaking to her and she remembered the way Leo defended her and she stood confuse between Mike and Leo who to choose.

“ I have to choose carefully, I have to make sure the both of  them are not up to something silly, I wouldn’t want either Leo or Mike to dump me at the end of the day but what I feel for Tom is strong and it’s better if I leave here or else I will get jealous every seeing him with Isabella” Becky says and tears drop from her eyes and the song ( dancing with a stranger) by Sam smith plays.

Cassie drives and she saw someone waving to her from afar as she drives front and she drives closer to the person and it is James Tina’s boyfriend, standing beside a car pretending that the car Tina borrowed for him is faulty, all this is part of the plan, Cassie stop the car  and she stared at him and James is dress up in a very expensive clothes.
