Layla opened her eyes hearing someone knock on her door .
"Come in " she muttered think it was the maid.
The door opened and a huge teddy bear appear ,then a low sharp voice said.
"Hi there bestie ....missed me".
Layla smiled, "Mia"
Mia popped behind the bear and smiled.
Layla opened her arms welcoming her, Mia rushed over hugging her.
"I missed you " Mia yelled hugging her tighter.
Layla giggled .
"Me too"
.....
"They said you don't want to eat and rarely sleep ,what's going on?" Mias asked .
"Am fine ...and I wanted to come to work but the boss said I take a few days off " she said.
"But he didn't tell you to stay in your room "
Layla sighed.
"I know but ....." She stopped.
"What ?".
"We really didnt when I accepted to come here " she let out.
"AHH?!"
"I know his was being kind when he let me come here but I can't breath ,Mia. It's a huge house filled with expensive things ,so what if I break something or get lost in another part of it and cause trouble " she said.
Mia frowned.
"His mother and the maids are all so nice but I can't help feel like I don't belong here " she explained.
"oh my ,am sorry my dear friend. This is all my fault I landed you in all this " Mia cried out.
"No don't say that ...I know you where looking out for me but me and him are partically strangers and so is everything here . I don't want to sound selfish for his been so good to me but I just want my old life bag ".
Mia squeezed her hand.
"Am sorry bestie you have been feeling this way. Alright I will fix this , pack your things and return with me ,I will explain to the boss " Mia said.
Layla held her hand , "No please don't talk to him, I dont want him to think am a bad person . He helped me and now I just want to go away like that ".
"So what should we do ?" Mia asked.
"Don't know but for now let's just keep things this way. I will speak to him when I get back to the office " she said.
"Why don't you do it here ,his home ?".
"He has never had breakfast or dinner with us .and he disappears when we get home. And and ..."
"And?".
"And the only way to see him is go to his room " she added.
"Then do it ...you said you went there already " Mia said.
Layla nodded.
"And I still don't know what was over me that day ...but I said I would not do it again. We are not that close for me to go to his room" she muttered.
Mia chuckled.
"He would not have told you where it was if he didn't want to get close to you "
"Huh?".
"Layla all I know is that sine the day carried you ,his been watching over you . No boss would just offer you his place to stay or fight your boyfriend ...oh maybe because it his company . But still the way he looks at you and speaks is different ".
"So ...what do you mean ?"
Mia laughed saying , "it means he likes you ".
"AHH....he does not ".
"Yes he does and it's why he called me over. His worried about you ".
Layla fell silent.
"I know your in pain after all that has happened but it doesn't mean to push away those who care about you. So if he wants to genuinely care for you let him".
"But I don't want to mislead him.. especially if he has feelings for me" she let out.
"Then make it clear to him so he knows not to cross the line. And if he does I won't spare him" Mia threatened.
Layla laughed.
"But we will have to get new jobs after that " they both laughed.
"Thank you "she said.
Mia smiled , "Welcome ".
When she walked out of the room ,she noticed Gale downstairs . He smiled when she walked out .
"How is she ?" He asked when she came down the stairs .
"Alright now , just tell the boss to take her out for air or give her a tour of this huge house . She is afraid she might get lost in it " she said.
"Oh..."
"And once join them for dinner ...I thought he liked her but .." she stopped ,"that's all ,I will be going now"
Gale stopped her .
"I can give you a ride " he said.
"No thanks ,just go talk to your friend " she said walking out .
