39 Confrontation

There was still two days left before Alex comes back from his business trip. Aside from making sure that she and Sky was alright and how they were doing, Alex had never mentioned anything about his wife. April didn't know what he said to her, she probably got more angrier this time.

After letting Josie have her first day, familiarizing everything that she needed to do. The next day, April had asked her to come to the Study. April rarely used this room, but this is where she keeps her books. Sometimes, Alex uses this room to do his paperworks.

"Now Josie, let's get down to business. I have some business ideas over here and also, I wanted to invest on some stocks. I need you to look it over and tell me which ones would work or suitable." April handed the papers to Josie.

Josie accepted it and studied it. So April continued.

"Although Alex is supporting me right now, Most of this is because of our son. As you may have guessed, I am Alex's kept woman. Who knows how long would we be in this situation? So I wanted to be smart. I don't want his wife saying that I'm living with his money. I have my own money that came from my parents in the US. I want to used this for this silly ideas of mine. I hope you could help me with this." April leaned on the mahogany desk. Josie was still standing in front of her.

Josie showed an amazed reaction. She had never thought that her new boss had this kind of thought.

"For this Business Plans, I would have to look at the market on what's currently trending and not. For investing, we would need to hire a Financial Adviser. They have more knowledge regarding stocks and other places to invest."

"I see. Hiring is no problem, I will let you handle this issues. By the way, James also informed me that the new bodyguards will arrived today. As you can see, we don't have a butler in this house. Can you handle this as well? You can ask the maids if you need help." April tapped her fingers on the table.

"Yes ma'am, I'll take my leave." Josie bowed and left with the papers.

April sighed. For this 5 days, she was already missing Alex's hugs and kisses. It was indeed to late to back out. That's why she already thought of herself as Alex's kept woman on the side. No matter where you look at it, she was a home wrecker. Although their marriage didn't look any stable, It was still a sin.

Missing Alex like this, makes it more obvious how she longed for him. She tried to become strong everytime Alex called, so that he wouldn't rush himself. She didn't want to hinder him from doing his Job properly. At the same time, her heart was really aching. She sighed and got out.

As soon as she got out, the maid was rushing to her. "Madame! Madame!"

April looked back at the running maid. "Yes? Is something wrong? Why are you rushing?"

The maid tried to calm her breathing and took a deep breath before speaking.

"Madame! A certain Francesca is outside the gates! She is demanding to see Madame. Unfortunately, she was blocked outside by the guards. The Master had a strict order that if someone named Francesca came, they would barred her from coming in."

April gasped. She had never thought that Alex had that kind of order nor why is Francesca causing a ruckus outside! "Did she say what she wanted from me? Why isn't she leaving if she can't get in?"

"Madame, she said that she won't leave unless you speak with her." The puzzled maid pursed her lips.

"I see, I'll go and meet her at the gates then. Tell Lauri to hide Sky inside the house. They must not come out until I come back." April then left the Mansion and asked the driver to bring out the car, since the main gate to the Mansion was located half a mile away.

Instead of going to find Lauri, the flustered maid went to grab the home phone. She was ordered to call James, if any troubles come out. After informing him, she instantly went to find Lauri and the Young Master.
