**Darrel**
Yeah,the only people that do hide their
necessary informations are criminals.
Darrel! She’s a criminal!!
Huh??
I sighed… Katy,she’s not a criminal.
Do you know her? You just met her and
you’re saying she’s not a criminal.
Katy she’s not!
Then what explain the hidden
information about her?
You know well that some people loves to
be private.
Ohh
I sniffed in some burning smell and my
eyes widened immediately.
Katy,I have to go. The meal is burning!” I
said and disconnected the call before
running to the kitchen.
Next day
Mia
“He’s headed to the direction of D&A
hotel” Robbie said to boss.
“Ohh..” Boss said.
“Could he be going to the hotel” I said.
“Of course…he already started his
investigation”
“Is there anything to be afraid of?” Anne
asked.
“Nah,he won’t find out anything” Boss
said.
“Mia, you’ll be leaving tomorrow right?”
“Yes boss” I said.
“I hope you’re strongly prepared?”
“Trust me ßoss” I smiled.
“Good” He said and stood up.
“I believe Joel has taught you how to make
delicacies?”
“Anne will.” I said and glanced at Joel who
look like he doesn’t want to have anything
to do with me.
“Okay. I’ll be going to take a nap” Boss
said and walked away.
“Can i come visit you in that house?” Carla
asked.
“Of course not! Robbie said.
“Just shut up! ” Carla snapped and turned
back to me.
“Well…I’m not in the position to answer
that. You can ask boss” I said.
“But you know boss won’t allow me
come!”
“Then you can’t come” I said and took
Anne’s hand, ignoring Carla’s deep glare.
“Let’s go to the kitchen” I said to Anne.
“Oh yes! I’ll be the boss for once and you’ll
be the apprentice” She said and i smiled.
“I’m gonna miss you” She said sadly.
“Me too” I said..
“Mia,can we talk?” I heard Joel asked.
I turned to him.
“Anne needs to show me how to make
some dishes now. I’ll come to you when
we’re done” I said and walked away with
Anne without waiting for his response.
“That was a bit mean” Anne smirked.
“He has been acting coldly to me for some
days now and he just popped up suddenly
telling me we need to talk. About what?”
“Ohh…i think I’ve realised why Carla is
always calling him lover boy” Anne said
and i shrugged.
“You’re the lover girl” She pointed at me.
“Stop it” I said.
“OMG…are you blushing?” Anne teased.
“Com’on! I’m not” I said.

“I’m not happy you’ll be going to live in
that guy’s house” Joel said.
We were both seated outside after dinner.
“I’m not very excited either but i have to
follow boss order” I said.
“You look like you’re excited about it” He
said.
“Is that why you’ve been giving me cold
shoulders?” I asked.
“No..I’m sorry about that” He said.
“No need to be sorry,it’s fine” I said.
“Can’t you just ki|| him before three
months and come back?” He asked and i
laughed.
“I can’t…i have to follow boss order and
even without boss order,i would love to
know the type of person that guy is. He
looks like someone with lots of secret” I
said.
“Is that the reason you were so excited
about going to live with him for three
months?”
“At first; i wasn’t so happy about it but
now I’m very happy,i can’t place the
reason though”
“Ohh…” He gave a smile that didn’t reach
his cheeks.
“I know you aren’t happy that I’ll be living
with agent Darrel but can i know why?” I
asked.
“I..i…i i just don’t want you getting hurt”
He said.
“Really? Is that all?” I asked.
“Yeah”
“Thanks for caring about me, I’ll make sure
i don’t get hurt okay?”
He nodded.
“Okay then..is that all you have to say? I
need to go to bed,you know I’ll be leaving
tomorrow morning” I said.
“Oh..fine, goodnight” He said.
I stood up…”Won’t you go in too?” I asked.
“Nah! I wanna stay out longer” He said.
“Okay… goodnight” I said and walked into
the house.
I alighted from a cab in front of Darrel
Holden building.
I dragged my luggage beside me and
opened my purse to bring out some dollar
bills for the cabman.
He drove off after collecting his pay while i
stood in front of the gate,ready to ring the
bell.
Surprisingly,the gate opened and revealed
the beaming gatekeeper.
“Hi” I said.
“Hey” He grinned and helped me with my
luggage.
“Thanks” I said.
“Come in” He paved way for me and i
walked in.
He locked the gate.
“Did you know I’ll be resuming today?” I
asked.
“Of course. I opened the gate immediately
i heard a cab drove off” He said and i
smiled.
“I’m Mia,I’ll be working as a housekeeper
here,nice to meet you” I said and
stretched out my hand which he gladly
collected.
“I’m Nathaniel,I’m a gatekeeper here. Nice
to meet you too. I hope we become
friends” He shook my hand happily.
“Of course” I smiled.
“Come with me” He said and we both
started walking to the door…….
“That shows you have a good reputation,i
don’t have to go anymore” He said and i
almost sighed in relief.
Great!
“You’re employed already,you can go into
your room,relax for today and start work
tomorrow” he said and i smiled.
“Thank you” I said.
“Your room will be upstairs, the fourth on
the right” He said.
“Okay” I said and stood up,i grabbed my
luggage.
“Hold on…i can’t believe i forgot to do this”
He said.
“What?” I asked.
“Please drop your luggage,i need to search
it”
What!!!.
