Someone special

Ring!!!

Gisele was woken up by the sound of her phone the next day.

She groaned in her sleep and picked the phone up with closed eyes. She didn't immediately pick the call, she sat up and rubbed her eyes.

Who could suddenly be calling her phone?

She frowned when she saw the unknown number. There were only a total number of three numbers on her phone, her grandfather, her uncle and Derrick her bodyguard. Out of these three, only Derrick has ever called her. She had never given her number to anyone else so how was then calling her?

Could it be a wrong number?

"Hello?" She picked the call cautiously.

"Hello Miss Gisele" an elderly voice rang out from the receiver into her ear. She became even more alert. The person had called out her name so it was not a wrong number.

"Good morning. Who am I speaking to?" She asked.

A chuckle sounded "Sorry to be disturbing you Miss Gisele but I'm a friend of Mr Collins"

Mr Collins?

The frown eased up a bit. She kept quiet and waited for the man to finish speaking.

"He happened to show me your pictures and I have a deal for you. Will you mind having breakfast with me?" The man said.

Gisele looked amused. He had a deal for her? That was exciting to hear. A friend of Mr Collins would also be someone involved in the Entertainment industry so his deal would have to do with the industry too.

"I'm just waking up would it be okay if we see later in the day?"

"sure sure. I'll send you the location, you can give me a call when you are ready" she could hear the man smiling at his end.

Her curiosity was piqued. Just what deal did he have to discuss with her to get him this happy?

"Ok sir. I'll give you a call soon" they said their goodbyes and the call was cut.

She thought about calling Mr Collins to ask him of this friend of his but then she realized she had not personally collected his contact number. It was probably written in the contract he had given her but that was stacked away in the safe in her closet and she didn't have the strength to go searching it out.

Since she was curious, she hurried her morning routines.

Standing in front of the mirror she was grateful to companies that produce top quality cosmetics.

After getting home last night with a swollen cheek and broken lip. She applied one of the cosmetics that was bought for her, put on a face mask and immediately slid into bed. Thankfully with their help there was no mark left behind from the bruise. Only her lip was not fully healed but that was not serious. With the help of lipstick she could cover it up just fine.

The temperature outside was a notch lower than what it was the previous day. One would surely catch a cold if they were underdressed. She choose a light blue long sleeve crop top and a brown high waist mid thigh length skirt, threw in a windbreaker jacket and a black knee length boot heels.

Her hair casually tied in a loosed ponytail and a red lipstick carefully adorned on her lips. She looked not only expensive but sexy and sassy at the same time.

"Good morning Miss Gisele" Aunty Lou greeted as she walked into the room with intentions to wake the young madam up. It was surprising to see that she was up and also fully dressed. The gloomy expression that accompanied her back home the previous night was now replaced by an enthusiastic smile and a bright cheerful look in her eyes.

Head Maid Louise secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She and the other servants were worried the madam would still be forlorn from her experience with her mother. It was delightful seeing she was over it already.

"Miss is up early. Are you perhaps going somewhere?"

Gisele nodded with a smile "Yes, apparently my attention is needed in town today. Could you please inform Derrick of my outing?" She lifted her head from the case of jewelries lined up in front of her.

The elderly lady nodded "I'll do that. The breakfast table is also served, you should come have your breakfast"

"no need. I would be having breakfast outside with a guest today"

"Someone special?" Aunty couldn't help asking. No judgements attached. If their Master was allowed to frolick around with that white lotus model even after being married then she had ever right to too. Not that she would support that. If she had her way Aunty Lou wished her master and mistress would really start to act like married couples.

Gisele laughed "I don't know yet" she was yet to know what the man was seeing her for so she had no idea if he would turn out to be close acquaintance or just a regular acquittance.

She picked up a set of jewelries that came along with an emerald tear drop green jade pendants and earrings. It looked beautiful and held a charm of its own so she went with it.

Aunty Lou didn't ask any more questions, she left to go pass Gisele's message while Gisele hurried up her remaining dressing and immediately left the house. The address they would be meeting had already been sent to her so she knew exactly where she needed to be. She sent a message to the man telling him she was on her way.

In the dining room, for the first time Devon looked up at the empty chair that was opposite him then he glanced lightly at the man standing to his right.

He didn't say any words but his questions was understood.

"Miss has gone out. She says she would have her breakfast outside" Devon brows creased a Lou then went back to normal.

Already?

He had received the message from Derrick but had assumed she was going out later that day. It seems she was in a hurry to meet whosoever she was going to meet.

Why doesn't he want to know who that was? It was none of his business anyway. What she did with her life was none of his concern as long as she kept his rules.

He picked up his cutleries and began to eat. It was the same old food he was used to but they tasted bland this time around. He didn't eat much and immediately stood up and left.

Left to stare at the empty dining room Butler Ken was bothered by a premonition, a premonition that brought about an interesting thought. One he couldn't stop pondering about as he ordered the servants to clear up the dining room.

It was a question and an answer at the same time.

An answer to the question that lingered in his mind as he went to bed last night. He had wondered if praying for His Young master would amount to him seeing what was true and what was false.

A prayer might be contingent but this idea might even be better.

A smile appeared on his face. With hurried steps he ran along to go robe in a partner in crime.
