CONTRACTED TO A BILLIONAIRE

Chapter 9

Two months into the wedding, Jessica was already feeling extremely frustrated. Ever since they left the beach after the pathetic honeymoon. Andy had gone worse, leaving the house by 7am and returning few minutes before midnight when she would have been fast asleep. At first it didn't bother her but she was overtaken by the massive and tastefully furnished house but after spending a week in the house and was already used to it's beauty, the house started to bore her. The maid and the gatekeeper were the only ones she talked with, asides that she talked with herself alone. When she had said 'yes' to Andy, she never imagined it to be this bad. The way Andy had been behaving, it was like he could not stand her, he even always looked for one reason or the other to go out on Sundays. Somehow, she wondered if her stay would have been worse than it already was if Andy had stayed home more. It was a Saturday and Andy was obviously at work so Jessica decided to spend the time with her friends. The three women decided to come over to Jessy's house since they hadn't visited since she got married.

Jessica was happy about a little fun even it would last for few hours.

She entered the kitchen feeling some level of excitement.

"Welcome Ada" she greeted the maid

"Thanks ma" the girl responded smiling.

"Hmmmm I love this aroma" Ada grinned

"It must be the chicken" she said.

I think it's the combination of rice and chicken

"What is yet to be done" Jessica asked needing something to be get busy with. Ada looked critically at everything. "I think the only thing left is your appearance ma" Ada smiled

She had become friend with Jessica and now she felt comfortable chatting with her madam the way she would chat with her friends.

"What is wrong with my appearance?" Jessica frowned.

"You need to look like the hostess ma, you are not dresses yet"

Jessica placed her hands on her hips "Now you sound like Lizzy my friend, what is wrong with what I am putting on? I am not going anywhere"

Ada looked her from head to toe and tried hard not to grimace. The gown Jessica was putting on was specifically for someone who was twice her size and Ada wondered why Jessica was always trying hard to look unattractive when it was not even working.

Despite the shabby dresses Jessica wore, she still looked exceptionally outstanding with her spotless round face with a lengthy hair to die for. "Anything would look good on you ma'am"Ada said

"Hmmm why the change of tone now, don't worry I will change the clothes"

Two hours later, Jessica was walking down the stairs in a beautiful but similarly big gown.

She sat in the sitting room and put on the television, relaxing her back as she waited for her friends. She was hungry but she wanted to eat with her friends, so they won't be eating while she watched.

She heard the doorbell ring and went there happily before Ada could even think of leaving the kitchen.

"Open this heavenly door Jessy" she heard Lizzy say as she smiled.

Paulina's 'comport yourself' was not lost on her as she opened the door with a big smile on her face.

The ladies screamed and cooed in delight as they fussed over Jessy."See this small babe of yesterday o, your face is so fresh and your cheeks are fuller" Lizzy said with delight.

"Oh please" Jessica giggled

Sonia kissed Jessy's cheek " I have missed you honey" "Me too dear" Jessica said and stared at Paulina.

"It is only proper that I greet the mummy of the house last right? I have her to thank for making the rest of you all look dashing" They all laughed at what Jessica said.

"If I don't take care of them, who will?" Paulina asked dramatically. "We are old enough to take care of ourselves mummy" Lizzy and Sonia chorused and they all laughed.

"Well get your little butts inside the house" Jessica said and they all laughed and left the entrance.

"Oh my goodness, this house is a palace" Paulina exclaimed as they all murmured one thing or the other about the house.

"Comport yourself" Lizzy said to her and Sonia laughed at them.

"Babe you are enjoying o, this house is amazing you are the luckiest babe on earth" Sonia said.

"Lucky" Jessica muttered silently as they all sat down. Ada entered the sitting room and greeted everyone before whispering into her madam's ear. Jessica nodded and Ada left.

"Well ladies, let's eat first before we have a nice chat or we do both at the same time"

"Neglecting table manners?"Paulina asked with a raised brow

"Maybe, how does fried rice, chicken and salad sound to you guys"

The ladies jumped out of their seats and headed for the dinning "I think we can forfeit the table manners for today" Paulina said.

The ladies were done eating and were busy sipping their drinks. The food had been so delicious that they all ate and were satisfied. As they sat in the sitting room, they talked about everything that came to their minds.
