Victor out of reach

(Vivienne)

I was a little nervous having Monica around, her gaze was piercing and a little scary. I hoped I didn't do anything wrong. Although I did throw the puppy away, it wasn't intentional. I had no idea that it was a dog let alone hurt

"Leave Julia...Victor is about to leave, take Tiny to him"the lady said in a commanding voice turning her cat-like eyes to Julia who seemed nervous as she nodded quickly and scampered away to the doctor. I was surprised about how the black-haired Julia ran away with the puppy in her arms. Monica called the puppy tiny. Weird name for a dog, I guessed Victor named it and the image of the big man calling and coaxing a puppy had me feeling like laughing but when Monica turned her attention to me I regained my composure waiting for her to say what she wanted. So early in the morning, she was looking gorgeous with a fine tuck in a pink designer shirt and a black skirt which was sticking to her petite body and reaching about her knees. She was wearing black heels and other accessories on her body. 

"So...I heard you will be Victor's surrogate?" the lady asked nonchalantly as if she was being forced to talk, however, I didn't care but wondered why she was asking me when she knew what I was. But I decided to answer her politely just to avoid further hate

"Yes ma'am" I muttered with a low bow, not sure what to say to her. She already showed me she didn't like the idea of me living under their roof but I was employed by victor hence she could say what she wanted

"How funny...of all people, he could find...it has to be a stranger...remember this I have my eyes on you...make sure you keep your little eyes and heart in check"the lady surprised me when she lashed outpointing her indeed finger at me, she looked enraged as her sharp cat eyes shone with rage and I was lost. What did I do wrong to her? Monica averted her eyes cheekily from me and turned to walk away but stopped and turned back to me as if she had more to say

"And one more thing...my sister's things aren't to be touched...Victor is out of reach because I know how little girls like you are...they pretend to be so innocent but then show their true colors and trap rich men like Victor"Monica was so bitter as she said what she thought about me, I couldn't defend myself not sure why she thought so disgusting about me. Yes, I was not like her who had everything but I had principles. I only took something which was mine. If she was worried about me having anything with Victor then she was wrong. I only wanted money and nothing else

"I'm sorry if I'm being rude but. I'm only here to be a surrogate...I don't care about anything because I'm only here to work and get paid...so please don't think so ill of me" I said in a low tone, I didn't want to keep quiet while the lady insulted my dignity and questioned my character at least I was poor and sensitive. I didn't take what I didn't work for and that was what drove me till now.

"Then I'm glad we are on the same page...work and only that...welcome to the Ellison family," she remarked with a sinister smirk and the cat walked out of the room. I was confused and more surprised as I waited until the door was closed. It seemed my stay here was going to be a tough one but as long as I didn't cross paths with Monica I'd be fine

After that, I was having second thoughts about everything, but I had to continue what I started hence like Julia said I went to take a shower because Victor said we'll be going to the hospital for some tests and I didn't want to make him upset by being late hence I finished up with everything, took out what I would wear and hot ready

By the time I was fully dressed the time was 9 am. I was done, hence quickly tied my hair in a loose bun, took my little backpack and phone, and stormed out of the room. It was a beautiful day, a fresh morning that promised so many things. I was looking forward to exploring this new life even if it was just for nine months 

"Wow such beauty" I muttered looking around while I was walking, it was beautiful and clean and so spotless that everything screamed expensively and when I took a right turn heading to the stairs suddenly

"Ahh!" a gasp left my lips when I suddenly bumped into something solid and then I was in someone's arms. My head hit what felt like a hard chest which seemed to be covered in clothing hence I looked up while massaging my forehead only for my heart to race rapidly

"G...good morning s...sir" I stammered nervously and quickly moved away from Victor's embrace, it seemed without looking where I was going, I bumped into the owner of the house and his expression was as blank and emotionless as ever. I didn't know if he was angry for bumping into him but he averted his eyes from me and fixed his suit

"Two minutes to get to my car" to my surprise Victor said in a cold tone and without waiting for me to say anything or bothering to answer my greetings, he stormed away heading in the same direction as I left. Only then did I realize something. My room was where his room was. What? how on earth was my room near Victor's room. I was just a mere helper so how
