The Billionaire’s Steward

Chapter Five

Aayla quickly dropped her phone and walked towards the lady who just called her name,

Hello ma, she greeted with a thought in her heart

“There ain’t no way I’m getting this job she just overheard me badmouthing my boss” someone she raised like her own child

Come speak to me in the balcony she said with a rather reassuring smile and this left Aayla quiet confused but she followed Mrs Rachel regardless

In the balcony

Make yourself comfortable child, she smiled again and by now Aayla was feeling a lot more comfortable by her constant smile,

She next to Mrs Rachel who was arranging some flowers.

This is my favorite job in this house I get to take care of beautiful flowers,stare at them and reminisce the good memories in my alone time.

Being able to stare at flowers is indeed a good stress reliever and your smile is as beautiful as these flowers.

You sure have sugars lined on your lips Mrs Rachel laughed as she nipped the bud of a rose and placed it on a jade pot vase.

This is meant for Mr Trevor’s study, I heard he saw you this morning…

Yes ma, I admit I had broken a rule he hated and how he feels one mistake would lead to another but I really didn’t think he’d be up and about before I was done, and now I know nothing I say would change the decision of firing me she added sadly

It’s alright child

I wasn’t given an order to fire you, Liam called to let you keep the job but be careful not to make same mistake again

Oh thank goodness Aayla heaved a sigh of relief and promised Mrs Rachel that she’d be more diligent and careful in discharging her duties.

She assisted her in placing the vase in the designated positions and was feeling a lot happier with thoughts of her nanna in heart

At the office

Liam what’s my schedule for today? Trevor asked while heading for the escalator, all staffs scurried out of his sight to protect their job.

On the head of department group chat Liam had already texted a code red for Trevor’s mood this made the air around the company quiet difficult to breath in for any of the staff, everyone felt like they were walking on water.

You have a phone meeting with directors from the aviation industry by 11am and by 12:15pm you have a lunch meeting with Mr Peter regarding the extension of our factories to the asian market, the shareholders board meeting by 2pm and the meeting with the members of one trillion club in the golf range by 3pm.

Alright did you do a background check regarding the financial sector of my uncle’s department store?

Yes sir I’d have the report sent to your desk in a couple of minutes and sir I uncovered some slush fund reports in the process of checking the oversea store’s revenue should I have the report ready too?

Trevor smiled at Liam and nodded in affirmation, it finally felt like things were beginning to look up and Trevor loved it when he finds his opponents loose ends.

At the BW mansion

Hi nanna, I’m sorry i couldn't check in on you all day Aayla said sadly

Baby that's alright you don't have to apologize about that okay? I know how hard you are trying just to see that my health improves,

*Silences over the phone*

Aayla, baby are you there?

Nanna I am sorry, I'm sorry I didn't know you were this sick, and now I am away from you just to get your meds I really hate myself and how this makes me feel, lumps formed in her throat and made her inaudible the more she cried.

Come on baby you really don't want to make me cry now, her Nanna sobbed quietly

Nanna promise me you'd get better please?

I promise baby I will get healthier and make you your favourites if you’d find someone to love and cherish you like I do.

Nanna really? A blackmail at a time like this?

If you don't find someone who you'd love and would love you like I do I might as well go to rest. Maybe,just maybe when you are lonely you'd find a person

Nanna would you stop? Aayla knew deep down her grandma wont concede to her but she really wasnt one to fall in love as a matter of fact she considered herself Asexual and rather allergic to intimate relationship.

Nanna no one can love me like you do but would you take better care of yourself if I find someone?

I would baby, she laughed cheekily and Aayla was glad her Nanna could laugh a bit.

I made payments for your other drugs and supplements, I got my private space here I would try bringing you over as soon as possible, I don't want you out of my sight.

Baby I just want them to take care of you as much as I do that's all that matters to me.

Nanna I'm okay over here but I want you over here that's all that matters.

Alright Miss Aayla, this made Aayla smile because Nanna only called her in that manner when she couldn't deny her request.

Nanna I would be home tomorrow when my boss leaves for work, I miss you so bad

I miss you baby but don't make decisions that could cause you any discomfort I am fine over here and addy checked in on me and promised to spend the night here.

Aayla felt a burst of gratitude in her heart for her best friend, Alright Nanna I love you

love you baby and be sure to stay safe

She ended the call with a smile and the thought of Trevor returning soon turned her mood sour.

Oh how I wish he'd stay out she sighed rolled over the bed till fell from the bed a sudden thud sound echoed through the room and Aayla hoped the lady heard nothing as she’d be too embarrassed to face her.
