"You never told me about your child" we walk amidst the flowers
"I don't want to be too fast"
"You never ask about my husband"
"I thought....
"Am getting a divorce soon!
"What?
"I don't want Ivy to know about it, I don't want her to feel bad"
"But why are you telling me all this ,am just your maid"
"I don't know why, I just feel connected to you. I feel like I finally found someone to talk too"
"Do you even know who I am?
"Who you are? You are my boss, who else are you"
"Don't worry"
"But why are you divorcing him, looks like Ivy is fond of him, he doesn't seems to be bad....
The front small gate creak as it force to open
"And here is the man of the matter!
The door open in rhythm revealing an average man in a black hat covering almost his face. The gently breeze open slowly the left side of the hat revealing a big black scar on his left cheeks near his ear which make him looks more scary and odd. He walked directly towards us with a sly smile. Mrs.Sophie stagger backward swallowing her cold saliva.
"H..honey" she summons some courage
He ignore her and turn to my side with a weird smile checking me out completely
"Is she the new housekeeper?
"Y..yeah "she responded
"It pleasure meeting you" He held out his hand for a shake with an cunning grin
"Dad" Ivy ran out and hugging his legs
He pat her hair with his eyes glue on me
