Borghese Household

It was a fine morning when Antonella rose up from her bed. She did her morning routine and opened her curtains welcoming the sunlight and cool breeze. While looking through her window she noticed an unfamiliar car that was parked by the fountain side.

"What a nice car so feminine, it was a convertible" she said

She quickly went downstairs and a rushing maid heading towards the dining hall caught her attention. The girl proceed her steps to the dining area not expecting that her parents has a guest knowing that it's weekend. She then saw a beautiful lady with a long black hair dressed in a formal pantsuit sitting beside her mother, while the house 'mayordoma' is on stand-by seems like waiting for something. The suddenly her Father entered the room from the garage by-pass door followed by Mang Luis the Driver which happened to be Carmen's husband.

Salome saw Antonella standing on the hall's entrance, she greeted her daughter with a smile and signaled the girl to 'Come Near'

"Good morning sweetie how was your sleep?" her mother asked sweetly while holding a cup of tea

"It was satisfying Mother and I had a very pleasant dream" she boast

"I am glad to hear that"

Antonella went to her father Tiofilo and hug him " Good morning father"

"Good morning bambina" her father replied with a calming voice

"Father, who is that lady with mother?"

Salome straighten herself and introduce the important workers of their household. She started with the woman beside her.

"Sweetie this is Andrea my personal assistant she has been working for me for almost 10 years now, she is a trustworthy person and you can ask for her for assistance"

The woman stood up and let out a joyous look then spoke "Hello Lady Antonella it is a pleasure to finally meet you"

Antonella replied with a wide grin "Nice to meet you too Miss Andrea"

After introducing the personal assistant, Salome moved on to the 'mayordoma' of the house it was an old lady with a sophisticated appearance.

"Do you still recognize her darling?"

"I think we've already met"

"This is Yaya Carmelita also called as Carmen she works directly to your grandparents and now will serve our household for a very long time"

"Now I remembered so you granny's amah!"

Those words touched Antonella's heart. It is been 2 years since her grandmother passed away and hearing how her grandma speak of her was utterly heart warming. It was like seeing the beauty of sunrise and sunset so pure and picturesque.

The old man just laughed and pats Antonella's head "Can't you trust your father's abilities?"

"Well father I can't seem to recall the last time I saw you operate a vehicle. Given your old age, do you think that you are still capable of doing it?"

Laughter came across the hall echoing through it's spaces.

Tiofilo just sighed and shook it's head "Silly child I can still do it just you watch" his father brag

The girl just guffaw and greeted Mang Luis with a welcoming cheerful tone "Thank you for agreeing to be my chauffeur Mang Luis. On my first day of school please take me to a posh restaurant and I will eat through my heart's content"

"Yes I will!"

Carmen and Mang Luis went back to their designated locations while Andrea remained on the hall.

"Sweetie you really love arts right?"

"Of course mother they help me widen my imaginations and calm my emotions, what about it?"

"Andrea here is a great painter"

"Really is that true?"

Andrea nodded with a charming gaze.

"Mother if Miss Andrea's schedule is not completely full can we go on to make some artworks?"

"Sure sweetie"

"Miss Andrea can I?"

"Of course, my lady it would be a pleasure to have you paint with me and I could also teach you some certain techniques"

"Thank you Miss Andrea"

Antonella has always demonstrated a keen interest in arts and nature. Every time she felt loneliness subsiding on her visage she will always spend most of her time painting or strolling around their garden.

After the discussion was over Antonella returned to her room and was about to take a nap when her phone buzzes with an anonymous message.
