The next day Louis left early for work. He told Brooklyn to not to wake Hope as she was in deep sleep. At 10:00am Hope came downstairs. She had messy hairs and was still in her sleeping suit.
"Good morning"Said Brooklyn who was washing dishes.
"Good morning" Hope said and yawned.
"Rough night ha" Brooklyn Said and smirked.
"Yes I couldn't sleep well" Hope replied.
"I know my first time was also very rough" Brooklyn Said.
"This isn't the first time I sprained my ankle." Hope Said and she ate the French toast.
"I am not talking about the ankle ." Brooklyn Said.
"What do you mean" Hope Said in a surprise and chewed the last bite of the toast.
"Come on don't act like nothing happened ." Brooklyn Said and continued to wash the dishes.
"Oh God do you think that I and your so called Sir Louis hooked for one night."Hope said.
"Y..yes I mean." Brooklyn said.
"Why would you say that" Hope said.
"This morning when I came upstairs Sir left your room in a hurry and his shirt was unbuttoned. He also told me not to wake you up."Brooklyn said.
"Listen I don't know what you saw this morning but I can assure you nothing like that happened between me and your Sir."she said and headed towards her room.
Hope laid on the couch and thought " He left my room this morning. What if he just came to check. Than why was his shirt unbuttoned. What if he r***d me. N...no no I should think positively. Nothing happened Hope be positive"
She checked her bed so she could find any blood stains . "Phew! that pervert didn't took advantage of me while I was asleep . I shall prepare myself for his next move. He helped me but that doesn't mean I can trust him. After all he is henpecked."she said and moved towards the balcony.
The weather was very pleasant. The day was clear and calm. Pleasant smell of flowers accompanied the fresh air . Hope relaxed in the pleasant weather under the warm sun when someone knocked on the door.
"Yes"she said.
"May I come in" a strange voice came from the door.
"Yeah sure" Hope said.
"Ola madam I am Brooklyn's aunt Edith. She wouldn't be able to do work for two days as she has to go out of town so I will be working in her place."she said.
"Hello Edith but I am not the owner of this house." Hope Said.
"Oh don't worry I know everything."she said.
"Okay than I think you should do your work than."Hope Said.
"Yes if need anything tell me and I forgot to tell you that Sir has left for Turkey due to some business project. He will not be at home for 2 days so I have to stay here for the night too"she said.
"Thank God at least for 2 days I can live in peace and quiet without listening to Mr.attitude."she murmured.
"Hahaha Mr. attitude i thought he was a very nice man" she said laughingly.
"Hmmmm" Hope said and closed her eyes.
After having a nap in the pleasant weather Hope felt a little bit hungry so she went downstairs. To her surprise Edith had already prepared everything.
"Mam I was waiting for you, come quickly I know you are starving." Edith said and pulled a chair for Hope to sit.
"Thank you" Hope said and she sat on the chair.
"Let me serve you" she said and served Hope lunch.
"Please join me I can't eat all of this" Hope Said.
"Yeah sure" Edith said.
"So is it your first time working in this house?"Hope questioned.
"No I used to work here but I had to go out of town." Edith said.
"So your Boss he lives here alone." Hope said.
"No his girlfriend used to visit him in summer but now she doesn't." Edith said and took a mouthful of water.
"So you know her. Who is she!?"Hope said.
"I don't know much about her."Edith said.
"What was her name?"Hope asked eagerly.
"I don't know because boss always used to call her babe."Edith said.
"God!! I also know that how am I supposed to know her with this information." she said.
"I know how she looked like. She was about your height. Short curly brown hairs. She had light skin colour." Edith said.
"Seems someone familiar but who?" Hope muttered.
"I think she was just with boss for his money. Whenever he was around her he didn't looked happy. My poor child. He lost his mother when he was only 5 years old. His father got married again and was always busy in his work. After his mother's death I brought him up. He has always lacked true love in his life." Edith said and got emotional.
Hope placed her hand over Edith's hand and said, " You have always been there for him. I know he loves you. The one who gives birth does not have that much influence on ones life than the the one who brought up.
"You are right. Now help me get these plates to the kitchen. They cleaned the plates and watched T.V together. Hope kept thinking about Louis. She felt bad for calling Louis arrogant and boorish. While thinking about Louis she fell asleep.
