Aubrey's POV
Nature must have fast forwarded the week because Saturday came in a flash.
It was the first day of tutoring Sharon and a car was arranged to pick me from the dorm to whereever the house was.
I would have been super happy if Jake had come to pick me himself but knowing him, it would never happen.
Negotiating with him over the phone was a big pain. Thank God for my high tolerance level, else I would have cussed him.
I received a call from the supposed driver, telling me he was already outside my dorm.
I did everything I wanted to do in a rush, wore my denim jacket over my thin strapped white tank top which I complimented with a pair of blue baggy jeans and topped it with my white sneakers.
I rushed out of the dorm and I saw a middle aged, bald man come out of a black shiny 2018 Mercedes Benz s-class.
'Whoah! This people are loaded' i thought to myself.
"Hi, Ms Jones?" He inquired
"Yes I am." I answered him politely.
"My name is James, I will be taking you to see Ms Henderson." He informed.
"Ms Henderson?" I asked confused.
"Ms Sharon." He cleared
"Okay." Was all I said or what was supposed to say to an old man probably in his fifties.
He opened the back door for me to enter.
"You didn't have to. I have hands." I said jokingly.
"It's my Job. Please enter Ms Jones."
"Aubrey. That's my name. I'd prefer you call me by my name instead. Please." I smiled at him
"I will think about that." He answered.
I entered into the car and James drove off.
*******
After for like forever being in the car, my bum were starting to hurt. I couldn't hold my peace anymore and I had to ask James how far we still have to go.
"Erm.... Excuse me James?." I called.
"Yes, Ms?" He answered professionally.
"How far do we still have to go?" I asked politely.
"About five minutes. We will be there soon. I apologize for the inconvenience."
"It's okay." I assure him.
James was right, five minutes later, I saw an enormous Mansion. No scratch that, Palace staring right back at me.
'They are indeed loaded.' My inner goddess gasped with me.
A giant gate opened for the car to drive in after James said some words. A password I guess.
'Dear God, bless my parents.' I thought, awwing the beauty of the mansion, from the field that I could see from the car, to the surrounding. The Mansion was an exquisite work of Art.
The car parked in front of a tinted golden glass door.
"You can alight now." James voice brought of my drooling thought.
Don't laugh! Who wouldn't drool at the beauty of the house?.
"Thank you for driving me." I thanked him.
"You are welcome." He answered politely.
I alighted from the car and thought of doing the stupidest ever heard. I wanted to go on my knees and kiss the ground but I decided against. What if Jake was watching?
I stood in front of the golden door about 12 feet tall. The surprising part was I didn't knock or press the doorbell before the door automatically opened for me.
'Showoff' My inner goddess scoffed.
I entered into the house carefully. I wouldn't want to break anything that could cause me my parents house right?. So I walked gingerly, watching my step.
I almost fainted at the interior of the house.
From the porcelain white tile to the expensive persian rug that sat in the middle of the hall. The walls of the hall were painted in White and the roman pillar were in gold. The hall had a double expensive stairway. The interior screamed 'money'.
I was lost in my own fascination that I didn't hear someone enter.
"Excuse me. Miss?" A voice called out to me.
"Yes?" I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Are you Ms Jones?." The woman in an uniform asked me.
"Yes I am." I confirmed
"The little Miss has been waiting." She informed me.
"You mean Sharon?" I asked.
"Yes. Miss Sharon. I will take you to her. Please follow me." She said politely.
'They do train their staffs well.'
She led the way and I followed her.
We climbed the double stairway, heading to Sharon's room.
On my way to Sharon's room, I took in the beauty of the house.
We got to a pink door that has 'Sharon' written on a gold horizontal plate.
The lady from earlier knocked on the door.
"Little Miss? Your tutor is here." She informed her.
I heard rustling from inside the room and the next second the door opened, revealing the little girl I shared my strawberry cake with.
"Hi" She smiled beautifully at me.
"Hi" I smiled back.
"Come in" She opened her door widely for me to enter and I did enter.
"Get us Snacks." She ordered the lady before closing the door behind her.
I knew her room would be beautiful. So I gave up on drooling over anywhere in the house because I had already drooled every spit in my mouth and my throat was starting to dry off.
"So...... Do you like my room?" She asked me grinning.
"Like is an understatement." I shook my and sighed.
"So..…" she asked anxious for my answer.
"It's beautiful." I complimented.
"Thank you." She jumped up happily.
I sat on her pink fluffy fur couch. I brought out my writing materials
"So, what subject do you wanna do first?" I asked her.
"I will go with anyone."
"Let's start with Social Studies first? I asked.
"Okay."
We started with the subject. While working on that, the lady from earlier brought us snacks.
"Thank you." I said to the maid and she left.
"You didn't have to thank her, she was only doing what she's being paid for." I was surprised at what Sharon said.
"I know that. But you should appreciate people for everything they do that you can't." I told her.
"Who said I can't do what she just did?" She blurted out.
"Really?" I narrowed my eyes and folded my arms over my chest.
"Can you prepare another tray of snacks?" I asked her. She looked at me for some seconds.
"I don't know how to." She admitted.
"You see?"
"I guess you are right." She said.
"Let's get back to what we were doing." And I requested what we were doing.
It was getting late and raining by the time we finished.
"It's raining." Sharon blurted out.
"I can see that." I said parking my stuffs.
"You could sleep over and go back in the morning." She offered.
"Actually I have got things to do and it's my first time here. So I don't think that's a good idea." I said to her.
"But it's raining. What if it starts to rain heavily? What will you do then?" She tried to convince me.
"I will be fine." I chuckled.
"Could you have the driver take me back please?" I asked.
"Fine." She sighed.
"Follow me." She ordered
I must say she was as controlling as her brother.
She walked ahead of me like a zombie.
'Why dose she want me to stay?'
We stepped out of the room and was about heading downstairs when I saw Jake coming out from a room.
'Could that be his room?'
'What do you think?' My inner goddess asked rhetorically.
"Jake!" Sharon called out to him and he looked to our direction and walked towards us.
He got to use and nodded at me.
What a strange way of greeting. I nodded at him too.
"How was your tutorial?" He asked Sharon
"Wonderful." She answered smiling from ear to ear.
"Good." He was stern again.
'Cold Wolf' i sneered at him inwardly.
"Are you staying the night?" She asked him hopefully.
"No, was about heading out. Will see you later." He said and Sharon's demeanor changed.
Jake turned to leave but Sharon called him again.
"Jake?" She called out.
"Could you take Aubrey in your car please?"
"What?!" I blurted out.
