I tried opening the door but it wouldn't budge, facing Mr Wilson, I eyed him angrily but he wouldn't budge either.
"What's wrong with the door" I asked
My question was totally ignored, and for a few minutes I thought of how to leave but I couldn't so I sat back down and settled for looking around the office.
The office, very clean and and almost spotless didn't have the usual blue colour of Mr Wilson's mansion, instead it has only one rock painting, the same one from the blue mansion, I got curious but didn't want to ruin the silence by asking.
It was almost thirty minutes later before Mr Wilson stood up
" Don't ever talk casually to me again Miss Edwards, I will be merciful this time because it's your first offence but I won't let it go again, let's go to the meeting room" He sounded stern
Pressing a button on his table, the door opened and he left the office in large strides, I almost had to jog to keep to his pace.
We took the private elevator to the meeting room, most people had already taken their seats and everywhere became silent immediately we entered, I swallowed nervously.
All this rich people are waiting for me to be introduced, it was a pin silence and all eyes were on me, Mr Wilson gestured I sit next to him which I found comforting
I looked around the hall, the head secretary was there, looking directly at me as a matter of fact, she gave me an awkward smile to which responded with a nervous nod. Alan Williams and Andrew Smith were also present, I guess they were all share holders representing their companies
I was dumbfounded though to find the whole Wilson family, Old madam Wilson and Mr Wilson had left the company to Alexander Wilson so they rarely visited the company, it was no wonder I was surprised that the Wilson family attended my introduction and initiation. Old madam Wilson's coming to the company meant she attached so much importance to me, I wonder what made me so special.
After I was introduced as Mrs Alexander Wilson, Old madam Wilson transfered three percent of the Wilson's family shares to me, I learnt later that three percent was transferred to every new member of the family. As I officially became a shareholder, the meeting continued to discussion Of other company affairs
***
When the meeting finished, everyone exited the hall except the Wilsons, I went over to greet them. Old madam Wilson looked at me fondly and patted my hair
"Old madam Wilson" I greeted bowing slightly
She shook her head gently
"Call me Grandma, you are family too" I found her kinder than our first meeting
Alexander Wilson exchanged greetings with her and left the room, he didn't talk to the others.
'Big brother" Yvonne tried to call after him, but Mr Wilson didn't even turn back, I looked at Yvonne and there were tears in her eyes
The family looked like there were used to his attitude, it was understandable that he didn't like his step mother, I once heard that they have strong animosity between them
but Yvonne Wilson was different, although his step sister, she seemed genuinely concerned about him, and she looks like a nice girl to me. Mr Wilson was there too, How rude of him to ignore his own father.
Grandma wanted to look around, she said it's been long since she came to the company, Madam Wilson offered to go with her, Mr Wilson had some work to do, Yvonne and I clicked and started chatting
I found out she was a very jovial person and had the same hobby of reading, she also studied business finance because her mother wants her to be the heir of the family. we asked questions and got to know about each other She frowned though when I asked about marriage
" I have a crush but he wouldn't even look at me, seems like he's in love with someone else, brother Alex isn't helping matters and mom is pressuring me, I really am confused" her shoulders sagged
She looked hurt so I didn't ask anymore, I just patted her
During lunch time, I was about to get the driver and Yvonne insisted she would come with me
"I have never been to the blue mansion, I've only heard of it from others. Since brother Alex won't let me in, I don't even get to see the beautiful water rock" she said sadly
"what, there's a rock in the blue mansion? I was surprised
" I'd be really surprised if you're just knowing, that's very popular about the blue mansion" she responded
"I really don't know about the rock, I only knew about the rock paintings in the living room, it was late after dinner yesterday so the butler will show me around the house today" I said
I was suddenly eager to the house, everybody loves nature and of course I was no different. With the image of water coming from a rock I could barely hide my eagerness, too bad the location was Mr Wilson home and I detested the owner. Yvonne who was even more excited took my hands and we left for the mansion
Once we got to the house, I dragged Yvonne who looked like she was in a trance into the house. Mrs Helena rushed outside to meet us
"Welcome back young Mrs Wilson" she greeted glancing at Yvonne suspiciously
I was a bit surprised how efficient Mr Wilson was, the way Mrs Helena addressed me changed and I found it uncomfortable, I never really wanted to be associated with Mr Wilson. I quarreled myself for I dug my own grave
"This is Yvonne Wilson, Mr Wilson's sister" I moved Yvonne forward
" Miss Yvonne isn't allowed into the blue mansion" It was the maid from earlier, the one who called me "miss Edwards"
I looked at Mrs Helena, she nodded in affirmation, it was Mr Wilson's orders
I looked back at the maid she was definitely not an ordinary maid to be able to talk to her master's family rudely. I had enough and I was going to show my authority, I was itching to let help her learn some manners
Yvonne looked at me pitifully, she seems to realise that she was unwanted here.
I whispered to Mrs Helena and she back.
"Hey come over here" I beckoned the maid with my fingers
"what's your name" I raised my voice
"Am Jessica Robbin" she replied
" oh nice name" I nodded
" Now Jessica, I learnt that we have a big pool outside that's cleaned after every three days, according to Mrs Helena, the pool is yet to be tidied" everyone looked at me curiously
"Mrs Helena, maybe Jessica should help with the cleaning today, ask the workers to take the day off" I raised my head authoritatively
"Yes Mrs Wilson" Mrs Helena nodded
I turned to Jessica
"While cleaning the pool, I hope you realise that I am Mrs Wilson, call me that all day long, and If you don't learn, we'll think of another fitting task" I said smiling
"Let's go upstairs Yvonne" I was done here
" No Mr Wilson ordered that no member of the Wilson family is allowed into Blue mansion" Mrs Helena tried blocking us
"I don't care, Yvonne is my guest and your master's sister, we shall treat her accordingly" I was getting angry
"Going against my orders are we" it was the cold voice again
