Chapter 16 - Hug the thigh

The dog stretched even more comfortably looking like it was enjoying it very much. Seeing the dog's enjoyment, Emma got even more courageous and got nearer it. She rubbed the soft fur and felt herself falling in love more with the dog. The dog also smelled strawberries. She figured that it must have been the body wash used to wash him with that had that good smell. Emma fell in love more with the dog the more she interacted with it, it was like that was how it was supposed to be. Emma was really not a dog person, so she thought maybe the connection was there because of the honour of her body.

Robert saw that Emma had totally forgotten about him after she came across the dog who went by the name Robbie, well the name in itself was just sort of a short form of Robert unnamed Robert did not like at all when they rescued the dog from a rescue centre Emma was hell-bent on naming him Robbie and so Robbie he was. Robert signalled his eyes to one of the bodyguards to take away Robbie since he was kind of stealing his wife's attention and of course, his wife's attention was only meant to be his and no one else even the dog at all.

Emma really currently got into the house with the escort of robots behind her and one bodyguard carrying her luggage. The door was opened by a tall handsome middle-aged man someone Emma thought was middle age actually but was already in his 50s but did not look like it since he had taken good care of himself and looked like he was in his middle 30s instead of his 50s.

Robert introduced him as his Butler confidant and also the man that raised him since he was five years old he was also his father's right-hand man before his father, unfortunately, passed away.

After his father passed away he was given the ultimatum of living his responsibilities and getting compensated handsomely and starting another life elsewhere but he refused since he had been taking care of Robert since he was a little child to his teenage years to his 30s and well as well he did not have any family left of his own their only child he was taking care of his younger brother's child was already a grown man by then so he just decided to stay by robots sighed as his Butler.

He was more of a father figure actually than a Butler something Emma would learn later and slowly and eventually. Behind the Butler what two middle-aged women and three young ladies in a maid's uniform. Robert introduced the Butler as Anderson Simpson, The two middle-aged ladies one was Nanny Lisa the other one was nanny Jane, and The three maids what Lucy, Mary, and Magdaline respectively.

After successfully making sure Emma had gotten to know the important people in the house, Robert then introduced her to them as their madam. Emma thought of it as weird. Since Emma had already been married to the man for more than half a year and had been staying with him it was safe to say that she ought to be already acquainted with the people there. Was it not like him telling the people indirectly that she was another person? Why then would he introduce her to a house she used to live in?

What Emma was unaware of was that the former owner of her body had been staying in a house in the city close to the Roberts's office being a virtuous wife she was she never wanted her husband to be tired by having to make long trips back and forth between the house in the suburbs mountains and the office in the city, and so it had been decided that they would only move to the house she was currently occupying when she neared her delivery date or after her delivery as it was a better place for one to recuperate in.

Robert let the nanny's maid, and butler get back to their respective chores as he personally took her for a tour around the house. Emma kept sighing all the way from the start of the tour to the end of the tour and her hunger for fame and fortune kept increasing. Her eyes were filled with stars with every famous piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall and paintings Robert pointed to and told of its origin and history.

It was only at the end of the tour that Emma felt a pinch I her heart. She was feeling oain for the money spent on decorating the home. So many things in the mansion were things that if they were put up in the meuseum they would generate a huge source of income for the government. Now she knew her husband was not only super duper rich but he was way beyond that. She knew some of those things he saw in the house could not only be bought by money but by something far more worth than that. Her husband was super powerful, and it made her sigh with remorse. If only she was not being forced she would have tried to live off the man, but she Emma does not entertain being forced to do things she was unwilling to do.

Even though the man was super powerful she had no feelings for him and such powerful men would not accept their wives working in the entertainment industry as they termed it as being a dirty place which of course it was, it was hard to be clean and famous in the entertainment industry unless you came from a powerful backing which Emma did not have and she insisted on taking the right path and that was why she was a stunt double and a substitute for a whole three years in the entertainment industry. If only she could hug the huge thigh beside her then her life in the entertainment industry would be smooth, she was not pretentious as to want to suffer when she could get backing but could she really hug this thigh?

Emma shook her head to be back in the present. Her heart told her to try and talk to the man about her goal to get into the entertainment industry maybe he would help her, another told her not to as it may make the man lock her up in the house and not leave her any leeway.
