Lydia pov
Raymond dropped me with a limousine at my stepmom house, one of the numerous cars that Dave has, people in the environment were very surprised because such type of vehicle has not visited the area .
"Ok Raymond, thank you very much, when it is 4 hours more, you can come and pick me, please don't be late and don't forget about you coming to pick me" I spoke to him.
Raymond is Dave chief bodyguard and he loves him a lot apart from that they are also friends, Dave sees him as his mate and the person he can talk to, eventhough Dave is arrogant and Proud,he kept Raymond as his very close pal and he respect him a lot.
"Ok ma I have heard you, I will come back to pick you, I won't forget because Mr Dave said you should not stay too long with your step mom" he replied me.
" Ok I have heard you, I just want to have a brief discussion with her and that is all" I informed him.
I was so elegantly dressed today, because Dave suggested I dress elegantly to my stepmom house, I was putting on a Black tight fitted gown and my stiletto shoes was so high that I was managing to walk to match with my brown bag,I can't walk so very fast .
I was so surprised that my stepmom has furnished my Dad house, she painted it and she has added more rooms to the compound, I was staring around the compound in Amazement, I opened my mouth wide and within a few seconds a short, chubby and beautiful lady with blonde hair with a Red gown that got to her kneel length,wow!! She was neatly dressed and she came out hurriedly to collect my brown handbag from my hand.
"Hi, Mrs Jane said I should come and collect your handbag, I am one of the new maid here, she hired me few weeks ago, How was the journey so far? She asked me.
I was staring at her from the head to toe, she looks so beautiful and gorgeously dressed, i am so surprised that jane has gotten a maid and she is putting on a good clothes.
"Hello" , I put my arms around her neck and I followed her to the door, and I removed my hands from her arms .
"My name is Lydia, I am the step daughter of Miss Jane", I introduced myself.
She opened the door and we both entered inside the sitting room, it was so beautiful, the Electrical bulbs were colourful Bluish in color and the floor were neatly tiled very well, I was wondering how Jane transformed the sitting room, the sofa chair were so beautifully colored and radiant, it was sparkling. The gigantic Television was welcoming me and I was staring at the sitting room, because before I left for Dave big mansion,the sitting room was not in such a position.
I sat down on the sofa and the maid left and she went to call Jane.
After few minutes Jane came inside the sitting room, she was looking stunning and beautiful in a Red blouse and a black jeans trouser with a light makeup.
She moved towards my side and she sat on the sofa that was beside me.
"Lydia, you are highly welcome to my abode, it has been long we have seen each other, I am happy to see you, because I have missed you a lot." She spoke nicely.
I raised my eyebrows and I twist one of the strands of blonde hair, I was so shocked that Jane can say she missed me.
"Mama, I missed you too, How is everything going? How is my father company? I hope the company is blossoming" I asked with enthusiasm.
" Lydia!, I really appreciate you for agreeing to get into relationships with Dave, Mr Osborne Harvard son. Mr Osborne Harvard has helped me to revive the company and he gave me $600000 dollars for the company transactions" She spoke and she was smiling.
Jane, don't smile, she only smiles when she has a huge profit from her groceries shop or when my Dad gives her money.
"Wow! that is so good, so my Dad company is revived and everything is moving fine, that is very good and important, so how far about employing new staff, I hope you have gotten new staff? I was intrigued.
"Yes we have employed 50 staff that is going to be working in the company, I have paid all there salaries" She replied me.
My jaw dropped and I opened my mouth in shock, I was so dissatisfied, when I heard that she employed 50 staff.
"Stepmom, is that 50 not too small, but you know that we need large numbers of Staff to work in the company if we want large profit, why did you employed 50 staff? I asked and I was worried.
Jane face change and she frown
"How do you expect me to employ 70 staff, when you know that the company is just reviving, do you think I am your father, where did you expect me to get the money i will used to pay there salaries? She yelled harshly.
I know that the money she declared is not the exact money Mr Osborne Harvard gave to her, I know that she is very Cunning and greedy, she loves money too much.
"Ok how did you expect 50 Staff to work in such a big company, won't it will be too small, there will not be high production at all" I defend myself and I spoke the truth.
"Ok Lydia, let manage this 50 staff very well, I believe they are hardworking and they can do more better than 70 staff, when they are not lazy" She replied.
"I will make sure I monitor them and I have appointed the directors in each department, the director will make sure they work harder, because I can't pay there salaries if they don't work" she added and she adjusted herself very well on the chair.
"Ok let forget about the discussion and let me get you a drink, especially your favorite soft drinks." She stood up and she went straight to big freezer and pressed a button and the freezer opened by itself and she brought out a cold Coca-Cola drinks and a glass cup.
She took a stool that was beside her and she placed it at my front, she opened the Coca-Cola drinks and she poured the drink inside the glass cup, corked the drink and she returned to her seat.
"Thank you very Mama, I really appreciate, I am happy you still remember my best soft drinks" I appreciated her.
" Well I have came to discuss it with you that I don't love Dave and we can't married each other, apart from that I don't have feelings for him " I spoke incredulously and I was meaned.
"Are you unserious,did something want to happen to you,do you want to go to jail? She bombarded me with questions.
.
I placed my head down and I don't know what else to say.
"We don't love each other,we are like cat and dogs,I don't think I can continue with him in the relationship you forced me into" my head was hanging low and my smile turn upside down.
"Mr Osborne Harvard has promised to get me a big house in some parts of Juarez, so you can't spoil my plan,all i want you to do is to cooperate with him,seduce him to fall in love with you " she spoke with no shame..
My jaw dropped and I was dumbfounded with those rubbish words that troop from Jane mouth.
