Chapter 32 - NEW JOB OFFER FOR ALAYAH

In the living room, Mr. Grendel was talking to his assistant.

"Lucas! Everything happened due to that Henry, that is why he is dead, this happens due to his evil

deeds", Grendel said.

"But Mr. Henry gave you five percent of the company share", Lucas said.

"Five percent? Just five percent? The hell with those five percent, we have to keep Harry with us to get

fifty percent of the share, are you getting me?" Grendel said.

"I am", he replied.

"If you hate kids, how would I like them? He is not a kid but a monster, a monster!" Mrs. Grendel

shouted soon after entering the living room.

"Calm down, my love, just calm down, and tell me what happened", Grendel asked.

"He wants a TV, Grendel, please just buy a TV so that he might shut his mouth", Mrs. Grendel said.

"Lucas, just go and get a TV, before the shopping mall closes", Mr. Grendel said.

"Wait, Lucas, there is one more thing, I think it is a game console under the TV, just buy that too, and

consult Harry before buying", she said and Lucas left.

"Aww, poor you", Grendel said and hugged her.

AT AARON'S HOUSE (NIGHT):

Aaron was laying on one of the sofas on the lawn, he was drunk, and his eyes were half closed. From a distance, he saw Erik was coming.

"What is this?" Erik asked and Aaron smiled while looking at him. Erik sat with him.

"Tell me, what are you thinking? What is disturbing you?" Erik asked.

"Let's not talk about anything related to me, I don't want to, let's talk about something else, tell me what

happened to the girl with the whole you got stuck in the elevator", Aaron asked.

"That girl was just a dream", Erik replied in a low tone.

"Why so?" Erik asked.

"Aaron, in my life I met two types of girls, for the first type of girls I am just a ticket for their future, they

just want money, the second type of girls are career-oriented, they are just concerned about their

career", Erik said.

"What about that girl?" Aaron asked.

"She is of the second type, but she is like a riddle, she hides things, I don't know intentionally or

unintentionally, she doesn't want me to know where she lives or works", Erik said in a low tone.

"Sounds weird", Aaron replied, after that Erik kept on talking but Aaron slept. Erik stood up, went inside,

took a blanket for Aaron, and left.

THE NEXT MORNING:

Alayah came, and she entered the kitchen, where Aaron was busy writing something. He gave the

paper to Alayah, "here is the dish I want you to prepare today. There is no need to clean the house,

someone will come for cleaning", Aaron said and left for the office.

"Woah, what a man, he didn't even bother to ask about my health or anything", Alayah said. And kept

herself busy with work.

After a while, the guard came and informed him that Lucas came to see him. Alayah asked him to let

Lucas comes inside.

"Ms. Alayah, Mrs. Grendel called you", Lucas said.

"Why? sorry I cannot come", Alayah said.

"Ms. Alayah it is not something about Mrs. Grendel but about Harry", Lucas said.

Alayah agreed and sat with Lucas in his car and the car stopped at Grendel's house.

"Welcome, Ms. Alayah, would you like to drink something? Mrs. Grendel asked.

"No, thank you", Alayah said.

"I want to offer a job to you, that is why I called you", she said.

"I don't need any, look first of all the court did not declare Harry's custody yet, so I will prefer working for Mr. Aaron", Alayah said.

"Don't be so fool, and take your time and think about this, see I have seen that you love Harry so much, and Harry loves you too, He didn't like any of my assistants, so I want you to think about this again, do you want to meet Harry?" Mrs. Grendel asked.

"Of course", she said.

"Denzel is also here, he comes here daily to see Harry", Mrs. Grendel said and walked towards Harry's room. Harry was busy playing games on his tablet. The assistant was busy cleaning Harry's mess.

Alayah stood near Harry and looked at Harry, who was so indulged in-game, "This time you can't beat me", Harry shouted.

"Harry", Alayah whispered.

"Alayah, you are here", Harry left the tablet and opened his arms to hug Alayah.

"Yes my dear, I am here, Hello Denzel", Alayah said while hugging Harry.

"Hello, how are you today?" Denzel asked with a smile.

"I am good", she replied.

"Alayah do you know this TV is mine, I own this, this remains in my room, and I can play any game in it", Harry said.

"That is great", Alayah said.

"We have downloaded a number of animated movies for him, but he never watches them", the assistant said.

"I don't want you to say anything when I am talking to Alayah", Harry said rudely.

"Harry, stop talking like this", Harry tried to calm him.

"Alayah she was reading the story for me, I asked her to stop, but still she kept on reading", Harry said.

"But why you asked her to stop? You loved to listen to the stories, right?" Alayah asked.

"I still love to listen to the stories but in your voice, I love the way you change your voice with the character", Harry said.

"Aww, my little monkey", Alayah said and hugged him tightly.

"Alayah read me a story", Harry requested.

"Okay, we will give a role to your uncle too", Alayah said.

"Sure, I am in, where are the stories book?" Denzel asked.

"There!" Harry pointed out toward the bookshelves. Denzel closed his eyes, and touched the upper part of the shelf, "I can't see anything, Mr. Harry can you please guide my hand?" he said.

"Oh Uncle, you just know nothing", Harry said.

"Are they the books?" Denzel said while touching the cars.

"Uncle, they are cars, can't you feel", Harry laughed.

"Oh I thought they are books, I never saw any books, I don't know what they look like", Denzel teased him and finally took a book. She read the story to him. She was still reading, when Mrs. Grendel came to see them.

"Alayah!" Harry called him. She stopped reading and looked at him with love.

"I missed you so much", Harry said and hugged Alayah.

"Aww, me too", Alayah said and completed the story.

"Harry, now I have to go, I will come again", Alayah said and stood up to leave.

"Okay", Harry said in a low voice.

"I don't like you, Harry, Alayah came and you forgot about me, I am leaving too, see you", Denzel said and stood up.

"Uncle, won't you give me a kiss", Harry said, Denzel smiled and kissed Harry's cheek.

"Alayah, in my Uncle's house, there is a night light, it reflects the stars on the ceiling, my uncle gifted me that, I want you to take that light for me", Harry requested.

"Harry, if you want anything I will buy you", Mrs. Grendel said.

"I want mine", Harry said without looking at her.

"Alayah, will you please bring that?" Harry requested again.

"Sure, I will", Alayah said and left, Denzel followed her.
