    Chapter 36


    It’s Not What You Think


    The following day was weekend, since Amy wasn’t really busy, she thought she could go and pay Mike a


    visit and most importantly tell him that he would be reinstalled back and that she would stop working


    there. She would have called him on phone but she thought it would be more proper to pay him a visit.


    Plus, she doesn’t n on visiting him again after today.


    The maids were with the kids at the backyard of the house, ying with them, since Amy doesn’t have a


    n ofing backte, she did not really see any reason to inform the maids and the kids. As for


    Broderick, it would be better to inform him cause she doesn’t want any trouble with him. He might not


    understand her true intentions of going so it’s better she made it clear to him before leaving. She walked


    over to his room and nted a knock on the door severally but soon realized that the door was locked,


    implying that there was no one inside. He checked his study room and knocked, she knew that he


    doesn’t like to be disturbed but she would rather disturb him than to get to his troubleter on. She


    knocked again and again but didn’t get a response. She twisted the knob and saw him sitting before his


    desk. His study room was like a library with so many books. He had a cup of coffee before him and


    seemed to be seriously studying. He must hear that someone was knocking on the door yet he did not


    respond, was he so engrossed in what he was doing? Infact, ever since she had opened the door,


    Broderick had not raised his head towards her to see who It was. Amy assumed that he must be so busy


    and then closed the door back gently and walked out. She has not asked Broderick yet if she could use


    any of his car and she did not even n on asking cause she doesn’t want to feel like she owes him


    anything. Though trekking from his mansion to where she could get a cab daily can be very tiring.


    Broderick on the other end hasn’t ever offered her a car either. Wondered what sort of his husband he is.


    This was someone who had more than fifteentest and most expensive car in his garage. Once Amy


    got to where she could take a cab, she took one that transported her to Mike’s house. Once she got


    there, she allighted and walked to the entrance of the bongalow, she pressed on the doorbell and in a


    jiffy, the door opened. Mike furrowed his brow in shock when he saw her, “oh my gosh! Amy, I never


    expect that I would see you.” Amy was alll smiles and then he gestured for her to walk in after which she


    did, “please have your sit.” He said, very happy to see her. “Thank you,” Amy sat gently. “What would you


    like to take? I can get whatever you want for you,” he said. “Well… How would I tell you I’m okay? I kind


    of ate before I came. But thank you. If I feel hungry or need a drink before I leave, trust me, I’ll tell you,”


    Amy said. “It’s fine,” Mike smiled and sat, “so how are you doing?” “Well, I’m fine. I’ve got a good news


    for you, you will be employed again,” she said. “I was about to tell you that I was asked to resume work


    on Monday. You can’t imagine how happy I was when I found out, how did you know though?” “Well, I


    have someone as a friend who is close to the bosses, I had to plead with her to tell those the bosses to


    forgive whatever your offence is and to my surprise, she informed me hourster that you will be


    reconsidered,” she said. “Oh my days! All thanks belongs to you,” Mike said. “So what have you been


    doing at home? Isn’t it boring being here alone?” Amy asked. “My girlfriend and I haven’t been in a good


    term, she’s likely to break up with me,” Mike said. “That’s quiet sad, I’m so sorry. Would you mind me


    asking what you did to her that wants her to break up with you?”


    II


    “I didn’t cheat,” Mike answered and giggled.


    “Like you know that’s what many men do,” Amy chuckled back,


    “Well… She told me her family doesn’t want me, I really don’t know why. She said she can’t be on the


    bad side of her ramiiy just because of me as her family means everything to her. Her actions and


    reactions since then have been t and dry, and I’m just here waiting for her to break our rtionship,”


    Mike said.


    “Won’t the break up hurt you?” She asked. “It will hurt me so bad but I am getting prepared for it. I can’t


    tell her to choose me just to be on the bad side of her family. Maybe our rtionship aren’t just meant to


    work out,” she said.


    “Maybe, or is there something you could do for her family to ept you?” She asked and before Mike


    answered, a call came through to her phone. Seeing that the caller ID was Broderick Alessandro, her


    heart thumped loudly and she swallowed the saliva she didn’t even know was stored in her mouth. “Are


    you fine?” It was impossible for Mike not to notice her nervousness. “I am, a second please,” she


    requested.


    Once she answered the call, Broderick’s voice came through,” in Mike’s house, huh? You have three


    minutes to return here.” The call came to an end before she could even say a word. “There is an


    emergency, I need to leave,” Amy said and stood immediately. “Oh! Please be fine, okay?” Mike asked


    and also stood. “Sure,” Amy answered as she walked swiftly to the door and opened it, “bye Mike.” “Bye,


    Amy,” Amy walked out and quickly prayed to get a cab, while waiting for a cab, she turned and saw that


    Mike had walked back inside. Mike must be wondering why she was suddenly this nervous, well, they


    won’t even get to meet again after this so he can think whatever he wants. She suddenly sighted a cab


    approaching her, before the cab could get to her, she felt a hand scratch her neck with it’s fingers and


    she winced in pain as she turned only to see the person running away. What? Who the hell is this? She


    didn’t have time to think of why a random stranger will scrub her neck and run away, she quickly got


    inside the cab and was being transported to Broderick’s house. Perhaps, the person who harassed her in


    the neck escaped a psychiatrist institution, it was absurd to her. She checked her wrist watch and saw


    that three minutes had passed, oops! She paid the cab driver immediately the cab arrived at Broderick’s


    mansion. She didn’t even know why she was nervous. It’s not as if Broderick will hurt her, or maybe she


    was just concerned about Mike, Broderick may actually hurt him. If he can fire him just for eating with


    her, what will he do then since she went to his house? Amy walked inside but couldn’t find anyone at the


    living room, also, the house seemed extraordinary quiet and that gave her goosebumps. She dialed his


    number but it was only dropping, she walked quickly to his room and saw that the door was slightly


    opened, she pushed the door open but didn’t see anyone in the room. A figure appeared behind her and


    suddenly mmed the door closed, making her heart almost jump off her throat. She turned and sawN?velDrama.Org owns all content.
