INNOCENCE

Mr. Matthew stormed away from the hospital in his car. while thinking of how to find Dr. Sandro and wondering if Dr. Sandro was blackmailing him ?? 

The nurse, a kind woman named Maria, bustled around, preparing tea to help reduce internal pain, Clara sat at the kitchen table, her thoughts a chaos of confusion and anxiety. she looked out the window and saw her security detail, a tough-face-looking man really scary she thought his name was James, 

Clara was overwhelmed and had a mixed feeling of gratitude and unease as she could hear Sarah's voice in her head who was telling her secret findings of her boss and didn't finish. making her wonder why Mr.Matthew ordered she's looked after so much.

The doorbell rang out loudly, Maria walked calmly to open the front door, Mrs. Jennifer, Clara's mother entered the house, shocked immediately at the presence of two new members of the house Maria and James. She placed her bag on the table counter in the kitchen her expression was filled with shock.

"Clara, what is going on here? Who are these people in my house, I saw a strong-faced man outside the house, and now who is she?" Mrs. Jennifer asked, her voice firm but with worry as she searched the house with her eyes.

Clara tried to stand up, reaching for her mother's shoulder to find the right words to explain. "Mummy, please, sit down. I will explain everything."

Mrs. Jennifer sat down, her eyes fixed on Clara's face. "I hope there's a good explanation for this," Miss.

Clara took a deep breath. "Mummy, this is Maria, a nurse, and the man you saw downstairs is James, a security guard. They're here because... well, it's complicated."

Mrs. Jennifer's eyes narrowed. "Complicated? Clara, you better find a way to uncomplicate it immediately, her Mother scorned.

Mummy, my boss who you met at the hospital, paid all my hospital bills, paid and assigned this aid to me as I was discharged from the hospital. Clara explained struggling to say it in a low voice.

you've only worked at that place for one day, and now your boss is sending people to our home? This doesn't make any sense. Are you in some kind of trouble Clara, Mrs. Jennifer's raised as she asked.

Clara shook her head vigorously. "No, Mummy, I'm not in trouble. It's just that... after the accident, Mr. Matthew was worried about me. and said it was how he treated his employees and asked i fully recovered with the help of the aids.

Mrs. Jennifer's eyes widened further. "Your boss did all this? Why would he go to such lengths for someone he just hired? Now we are indebted to him, are you sure you're telling me everything?" worry sensed in her voice. 

Clara reached out and took her mother's hands in hers. "Mom, I promise you, there's nothing going on between Mr. Matthew and me. He's just a very kind and concerned person. I think he feels responsible because the accident happened right after I started working there. Clara in a subtle voice so her Mother could feel safe

Mrs. Jennifer studied Clara's face, searching for any sign of deceit. "I don't understand, Clara. Why would he feel responsible for an accident that happened at home?" 

Mrs.Jennifer hold Clara face in her hands as she speaks in low tone, Clara my dear, i pride myself in the decentness of you my darling, how you've remained a virgin and work hard to help me pay the bills from honest work.

Clara looks down into her mother's hands, "It's just... he's very protective of his employees as he said, I have never been with a man mummy and I will never bring shame to you in that manner, you've worked so hard to bring, papa and me up. we love you, mummy.

 Mrs. Jennifer's face lightened with a smile, You are a precious star to me, and I am very proud of you my darling. Your boss is a kind person and we must make sure to repay him for such a gesture.

you are right mummy, we are in his debt, Clara said with a worry masked on her face.

The door swings open and everyone's attention turns to the door, Sarah walks into the room and Clara's face lights up at seeing her best friend, who has an untold secret about her boss. 

Warm greetings mummy C, It's been a while ma, you look ever beautiful every time I see you ma'am, Sarah directed to Mrs. Jennifer causing her to smile. 

Sarah, it's always a delight to have and see you around darling, how is your father? Mrs.Jennifer asked.

my father is doing well, ma'am, thank you for looking out for him, Love you mummy c, Sarah said hugging Mrs.Jennifer and letting her go.

Mrs. Jenneifer picks her bag from the kitchen, I will let you ladies catch up and I go refresh. 

Clara suddenly felt more energetic having Sarah around, You like crap boo, Sarah said to Clara as they giggled. 

well you seem to have a glow on, where you coming from miss, Clara asked 

Sarah, holding Clara's hands explains, I just got work girl, glowing cause you out of that hospital and you look much better, girl while coming in I saw a man standing outside the house like some security and I didn't recognize him …. while Sarah was speaking 

Maria called out to Clara asking what she could make for dinner, and Clara said, anything healthy Maria my mummy isn't picky and my brother won't be back tonight. 

Sarah's eyes widened further, what is going on Girl she asked confused …. 

ok, calm down, we need to talk, Clara stands up and offers Sarah a hand and they head upstairs towards Clara's room. 

opens door… I know you have questions and I would rather we speak in my room, Clara began as they closed the door behind them walking to the bed 

So the people you saw were hired by my boss to look after me, right after he sorted my hospital bill. Clara told Sarah 

WHAT !!! 

Mr. Matthew did all these for you? Who just worked one day in his company? Sarah sounds very displeased and angry, Girl I told you he had secrets !!! His acts are not kindness!! When I returned to work and randomly shared the experience to my coworker

Clara looks straight at Sarah's face giving her all her attention, My coworker mentioned Mr.Matthew known for womanizing, he uses women as nothing and has a flood of them around him, saying to tell my friend to be careful cause innocent girls like you are prey to be victims.

Sarah finally reveled the secret of Mr.Matthew.
