WHAT FATE HAS IN-STORE FOR ME

7. FIRST DAY AT WORK I

Valeria's pov:

After waking up I got myself ready for the day.I went down stairs for my breakfast.I got to know that Blake already left for work
since early in the morning from Rose.I took my breakfast leisurely because I knew I didn't have any plans for today except for going to the mall later I'm the day. After I had my breakfast I took my dishes from the kitchen counter and placed them in the sink. I got ready to wash them before I was interrupted by a voice behind me.

"Excuse me madam, there is no need to do the dishes. That's my work." I turned to face the owner of the voice, it was a young girl probably my age.
"No need I will do the dishes, there is no any problem with that."I said as I turned on the tap.

"There is a problem, Anne you do the dishes I need to talk to madam,"Rose said as she was entering the kitchen.
"But..."I tried to argue when Rose interrupted me.
"You came here because your the lady of the house and not maid,"her words left no room for argument and I had to comply.

"Please follow me,"Rose said as she left the kitchen. I had no choice but to follow her. She walked into a room that I think is hers.
The room is but not as bigger as mine. It's arranged neatly that is pleasant to the observer. She took something from her bedside table and handed it to me it was a black credit card with golden writings. This was one of the most unique credit in the world 🌍 owned by at least ten people in the world.

"What is this for?" I asked Rose taken aback by this.
"The young master asked me to give you this, he said that you would need it,"Rose said.
"Oh no, I already have my money I don't need this,"I said handing the card to her.
"Blake said that he doesn't want to refuse it now that I have given it to you, I've done my part. But if you think that you don't need it, you can hand to him when he comes back from the office,"she said while heading out of the room.

"I guess I'm stuck with you,"I said to the card looking at it intently before I walked out of the room.
Tomorrow it's going to be my first day at work and I have to look presentable. When I left from my father's house I didn't take much with me because I was devastated at that time now I need to shop for clothes and other personal things.

I went to my room to get ready. I put on a black off shoulder dress that ended at my knees. I looked in the mirror after putting mascara and a light of pink lipgloss. I made sure that I had taken everything in my purse 👛 heading out. When I reached at the foyer a young man slightly elder than me, walked to me.
"My name is Nathan and I will be your driver henceforth,"the man said  sincerely.

"Mhhm," I nodded with a smile.
"Where would you like me to take you today,"he asked opening the door for me.
"The city mall," I said before entering the car. The drive was silent, which I didn't mind at all. My mind couldn't help but going through the event that has been going on recently.

A week ago I was thrown out of my father's house and now I've got a house where I'm treated with respect and all this is thanks to Blake.It was like God had sent him to me as salvation.He just agreed to our marriage contract but he treats me more than a wife is treated, I'm honoured by his kind gesture.
He makes me feel like I belong somewhere, which makes me less lonely after my parents passing.

"Excuse me ma'am, we've already reached your destination," Nathan said breaking my train of thoughts.
"I will take a little while in the mall, if you don't mind give me your number and if I'm done I'll notify you,"I said while handing him my cellphone 📱. He put his phone number before handing my phone back.

I took a while in the mall before I finished shopping. I went home afterwards to prepare myself for the big day. At dinner, Blake was not back yet from work and I needed enough rest before I started to work officially. After taking my dinner I went to the washroom to have a shower before going to bed.

****
The next morning I woke very early, I got up and did my morning routine as usual.
Today I put on a cream coloured suit, that hugged my body perfectly. I tied my hair into a neat bun. I put on black coloured, three inches stiletto 👠. After getting ready I went downstairs to have my breakfast. There I saw Blake at the dining table.

"Good morning,"I greeted him before taking my seat in front of him. It has been a while since I've last seen him.
"Morning,"he answered before resuming eating.

Blake's pov:

I was having my breakfast when I heard the clicking of heels coming down the stairs, and I knew for a fact it was her.I couldn't help but look at her,she was dressed in a cream coloured suit that added a glimmer to her pale skin. She looked so elegant in an office attire. Her jet black hair was pulled into a bun making her look more beautiful.
I didn't know that one could fall in love with the same person more than once but seeing her now I fell harder.

I turned my gaze before I was caught staring.
"Good morning,"she greeted before taking her seat.
"Morning,"I answered before I pretended that my focus was on the food. We had our breakfast silently without a word but I couldn't help but stole some glances in between eating.
"Is it okay if I drive you to work today?"I asked breaking the silence. She raised her eyes to mine confused.

"We had agreed that we'll keep our marriage a secret from the public," she reminded me of what she had made me agree to. And I regret agreeing with her.
"If people were to see us together they'll think that I got the position through connection and I don't want that. I'm okay with going on my own," she told me seriously.
