Crossed Path

Chapter 2: Genevieve comes to my rescue.

“ Yes,Mrs Red, it’s me” she says. I get up from the edge of my bed as I hear the sound of a lock falling into place . The door swings open, revealing a man in his mid thirties whom I guess is the locksmith and my Secretary, Genevieve, foolishly smiling at me. Genevieve is a girl in her early twenties, she just finished college not long ago and had picked her to be my secretary after discovering her talent in fashion during an event hosted in her college. She reminded me of my mamà’s niece, Fea, whom she had brought home to keep me company before perishing and leaving my brother and I to fend for ourselves. I walk out of the door with Genevieve trailing behind me. “Mrs Red, we had been waiting for you since 7am not knowing you were stuck in your room. I didn’t know you were clumsy a times” she spoke and giggled. I glare at her as I ask“ what do you mean by “we”? “. “ The designing team, I mean” she answers and lifts her head to look at me with her unusually large doe eyes which fited her round face perfectly. We get into my car and the chauffeur drives out of the gates towards the bridge which linked Bronze estate to the country’s main city. Not long after we had left, the car came to a halt in front of an edgy, urban building with an industrial-chic features.
