CHAPTER 187:A DROP IN OCEAN.
"Don't think that now I am seated here, the dress should be done by today, take your time but know that by the end of this week you should be done."Ivana instructed.
"I guess I should stay here to supervise you Ivana. I know how stubborn you can be when you want something to be done." Mish said as she pulled the chair and sat across Ivana.
"I have no problem my dear sister." Ivana replied with a smile.
Now that Mish was there to supervise her, she has no choice but to remain seated. But she had a problem of seating lazily without doing anything. So she decided to log into her social media pages. Especially Instagram, the last time she checked was when she was monitoring the progress of the dress she posted the first time.
She was surprised that she had numerous inboxed messages. She wanted to ignore them but remembered they will turn into customer when she decided to put up a fashion store.she had only one reply for the all of those that had inboxed. The reply was,
"I am sorry dear but can you remind me after six months. I have so many orders, thank you for choosing me."
She replied several inboxes, until she read one message, when she checked the sender she was surprised to see him. @SamVan," I never knew you are these talented baby girl. Can you make me three customized suits. You know my best three favourite colours."
'You mean you have never changed your instagram name, what should I answer you no sammy?' she thought as she smiled to herself.
@SamVan: "I am so sorry for inconvenience, the shop is closed until further notice. It's under renovation."
She sighed after replying him the proceeded to check other inboxes. The next inbox that she read changed her mood. Paul had inboxes him with love emojis saying,"That's my beautiful Wifey multi-taleted."
She wanted to reply him and tell him that she stopped being his wifey the day he signed the divorce papers without even coming to woe her. But decided to log out of instagram and switched of herobile phone.
"Girls we will stop there, for today I guess I need rest. Let's prepare for tomorrow." Ivana said then left quickly without waiting for their reply.
"That was so strange, she was smiling while on her phone. I guess she read something that changed her mood. But that helped her go relax. Just pack the linen and leave at that point as she had adviced." Mish adviced.
It was lmost evening so Milka decided to check if everything in the kitchen and food to be cooked during supper was available. She decided to bled the mango juice for everyone that was available. Some of the workers were at the servant quarters.
The three girls followed Milka to the kitchen , so Stacy have been wondering if Ivana will pay them because they had not signed a contract with her. So she decided to ask Milka who had called them to come and work for her boss.
"Milka I don't mean to be paranoid but, do you think ma'am Ivana will pay us?" Stacy asked.
"Why do you ask, like what triggered you to ask me that?" Milka asked her too.
The other two girls were surprised with Milka's question and waited patiently to hear her reply.
"Like she have just signed us the work but we didn't even discuss the renumeration neither did we sign the contract to show that we were hired."Stacy said.
"Are you seriously asking that question Stacy, do you think a lady like Ivana won't pay us. Look the things that she owns, the mansion, the treatment she had given us when we arrived. What is our salary to her, I guess it's just a drop in the ocean so stop your nonsense." Nekesa said.
"You are talking about payment and contracts, for your information. I don't care if I get paid or not as long as I have something to do in the house and I am not lazing around. Second thing, I have a nice place to sleep and I have good food." Gloria said surprising Stacy.
"Are you serious Gloria?" Stacy asked.
"One hundred percent serious, you know Ivana is just an angel. It's very rear to find a boss like her." Gloria answered.
Milka was just listening to them, so when they finished talking she decided to reply stacy.
"Stacy how about you ask her tomorrow or I will ask her for you." Milka said while she washed the mangoes on the sync.
"No, no Milka I didn't say that you ask her. I was just enquiring from you." Stacy said.
"Bring honest Ivana will pay you and as Nekesa said, she has all the money to spend it wherever she wants. So our salary is a drop in the ocean to her, she can't fail to pay us. Something else don't take her kindness for granted, you won't believe it when she is fed up with and employee or when you wrong her. She is very harsh." Milka told them.
"But I don't think she is a hot tempered person." Gloria commented.
"You are right but that doesn't give you the reason to wrong her." Let's respect and obey her despite the fact that she is our agemate that doesn't stop her from being our boss." Milka adviced.
"That's true I have seen how Rhoda respects her alot despite the fact that she is older than her. Also ma'am Ivana respects her employees, she is not like my former boss." Nekesa said.
"By the way Milka I have been wanting to ask you this, where do you sleep? I mean I have never seen in servant quarter." Stacy asked again.
"That's right where do you sleep?" Nekesa chipped in too.
"I sleep here in the mansion, you know before Ivana employees other maid I used to be her personal maid." Milka said.
"Now I understand why you are so close to her and you don't really get scared of her as other workers." Stacy said.
Milka just smiled at them as she peeled off the mangoes ready to blend them.
