The Beauty In Our Scars.

The perfect mistress (1)

Mandy walked lazily into her room. Her legs as heavy as her eyes. She flung herself on the bed in a bid to catch some sleep when suddenly, a knock came on the door. Mandy hissed and sat up on her bed.

"Who is it?" She asked, the tone of her voice almost seemed she cursed at whomever knocked on the door.

"I have an urgent message for you Miss" the voice answered.

"Come in" Mandy responded. The maid walked in and greeted Mandy.

"Mr Craig said you should come see him by 9am in the morning. He says your training begins by that time" The maid announced. Mandy let out a sigh of exhaustion.

"Is that all?" She asked the maid.

"Yes Miss" the maid answered.

"Alright then, you may leave now" Mandy responded and the maid took a bow before she left the room. "Now I can't fall asleep any longer" Mandy swore in fustration. She decided to use the opportunity to change into her night dress and while she was at it, she remembered Craig's cold gaze at the shopping mall. She let out a sigh and put on her night gown before heading over to bed.

Craig lay on his bed, recollecting the activities that had taken place that day. He remembered when Mandy was trying the dresses on, how awkwardly and timidly she stepped out of the dressing room to him clothes she wore. He chuckled to himself at the thought of it, then he remembered all the spa, hair salon and skin treatments sessions he took her to. She was quite cute but after the whole makeover, he couldn't help but admit she was a gorgeous woman. He smiled to himself for a while and suddenly stopped.

"And why am I smiling without a reason?" He asked himself, immediately after he stopped. He slowly moved his hand up to his chest, he felt his heart skip a beat. Slowly, he clutched his chest.

"No it can't be, I'm just making stuff up" Craig whispered. After a bit, he took a deep long breath and turned to the other side of the bed to get some sleep.

Morning came quickly, Mandy's eyes opened slowly as the small light sipped into the room. She sat up immediately and turned her eyes towards the clock on the wall.

"It's 8am, thank goodness" she said as she let out a sigh of relief. She immediately stood up from her bed and began to get ready for the day. It was already 8:55am when she had finished everything and majestically left the room. She got to Craig's room and knocked on the door. She got a response and immediately, she opened the door and walked in and walked around for a while before she met Craig. He was sitting in his study, in front of his study desk. Mandy couldn't believe her eyes when she saw him, he seemed like an entirely different person from the Craig she had come to meet in the mansion. His beautiful brown hair was well trimmed, low at both sides of his head and the hair center of his head fell beautifully at the left side of his head. His beards were well trimmed, his blue eagle eyes became more prominent, they were covered before my his long, unkept hair. Craig instantly raised his head from his desk, his eyes meeting Mandy's. He let out a smile, showing off his dimples. Mandy stood their, it seemed her breathe had seized just by merely looking at the man in front of her.

"Mandy, get yourself together" she muttered to herself as she tried to regain her composure. Craig wheeled himself over to where Mandy stood.

"Good morning Mandy, trust you had a good night" Craig asked.

"Uhmm yeah, I did. And you?" Mandy asked.

"Not bad" Craig answered. "Let's get started with today's training, shall we?" Craig said. Mandy couldn't believe her ears, he was going to train her?

"Uhmm sir, I thought someone was going to handle it, why are you the one who's going to tutor me?" Mandy asked as she looked at him in confusion.

"Well Mrs Williams caught a bad cold yesterday, she won't be here for a couple of days so I, have decided to start the basis with you. I can't just wait around, we'll be making our first appearance very soon and I don't want anything delaying us" Craig stated. Mandy was left speechless, she just gazed at him, her mouth wide open.

"If you don't mind, move over to the table at the east end of the room, our table manner etiquettes begins now" Craig ordered as he gestured to Mandy. She walked for a bit before stopping in front of the table. Craig followed her immediately and when they got to the table he took one position at the table while Mandy took the other, making them both to face each other.

"In about a minute, the meals will arrive" Craig said, Mandy nodded in approval and just then, a knock came on the door. "Come in" Craig said again and some maids came into the room with trays of food in their hands. They placed them in front of Craig and Mandy, alongside some cups of coffee.
