Chapter 24: The monster boss returns

Isa felt bad for tormenting the hell of out Khloe but she deserved it after all that she went through with her in the hospital. Yes, her landing in the hospital was Isa's fault because of her mischievous idea to put pepper sauce in her lotion. Khloe suffered the same fate she went through but hers wasn't worse as compared to Isa's. Isa considered herself lucky because she had Claire and Mrs Macy as her partners in crime. She came up with the idea and they helped her execute it, the good thing being that Scott was around. She didn't know when he'll be back and neither did any of the other staff. She knew he'd be back by Monday since he said he was leaving for the weekend. Isa was still enjoying her royal treatment. Again, Curt had ghosted her to a point where she wondered if it was deliberate because she refused to tell him the colour of her panties the previous night. Why did he want to know anyway? Does he sell underwear? She had her bath that evening and went downstairs to join the others for dinner. She still pretended she was sick as she sat at the main dining table and had her meal claiming that the noise from the others increased the migraine as usual her accomplice Claire, accompanied her as they sat down at the table together and mimicked Scott and Khloe, Isa acting as Scott and Claire as Khloe. They laughed their lives out as they impersonated their various characters. Khloe was knocked out as she went to bed early saying she was exhausted from all the errands Isabel and the others laboured on her so the mischievous duo took it upon themselves to watch a movie in the house cinema while occupying their mouths with popcorn. This was Isa's best corner in the house. You could be here all day and no one would ever know people hardly come in here to watch movies except when they had to clean and she wondered why they built it in the first place if it didn't have any use for them. Well today, she would make use of the rejected stone. While they were halfway into the movie, she received a text from Curt. Finally! She exhaled. The message read ' Hey' he was always fond of texting her short messages and when she replied, he either ghosted her or gave her straight-to-the-point answers. This was not the doctor she'd met that day. He looked like such a caring and loving person but the person with whom she texted was different. She replied ' Hello! You finally decided to text me! Should I be worried?' he replied almost immediately.
' No! I'm not doing anything now so I wanted to check up on you.'
' Aw, that's so sweet she replied with a smiley emoji. She was a fan of using emojis, she believed that they gave you a reaction to your words. For example, you can insult someone and attach a smiley emoji to it and the person wouldn't make a fuss out of it because he would know that it was just a joke. In general, emojis were a symbol of the expression of feelings.
' Tell me more about yourself Isa.' he asked.
Oh! Now they were getting somewhere she was bored of seeing the same messages every day ' Hey, ' what you doing' etcetera. This was another step and she didn't mind telling him because why not? There was nothing to hide about her miserable life.
" Can you put off the sound from your keyboard and your phone? You two love birds are distracting me." Claire complained.
" That's why headsets are made available, bush girl" she teased and threw the wireless headsets to Claire and Claire stuck out her tongue at her.
'Nothing is interesting about me. You tell me about yourself instead. I bet your life would be more interesting than mine.' she diverted the question.
' Answer my question' he commanded.
' Well, nothing is interesting about my life. I grew up with my parents in the countryside so yes feel free to call me a country girl. Life is pretty much interesting over there. You have neighbours, friends with whom you can gossip with, play with and hey over there, nobody keeps a secret.' she replied.
' Tell me more. ' he demanded.
' Anyway I grew up on the farm and I'm a farm girl, that's pretty much about me.' she waited for his reply and when she received it, she blushed. It read' Do you have a boyfriend? '
' I have many boyfriends ' she teased and immediately her phone went off. Shit! How could this happen? Now he would think she's a harlot. She jumped from where she was sitting and pranced around the place looking for her charger she didn't want to go upstairs for the distance was too far. Claire looked at her like someone who had taken an overdose of hard drugs. She finally saw a stray charger and didn't hesitate to charge her phone but as usual, her old retired phone took a long to come on, especially if it went off completely low so she had to wait for quite some time. She just hoped Curt wouldn't get the wrong impression about her she facepalmed herself, why did she have to be goofy all the time, now see where it landed her. She turned the phone around and gave it a light slap praying for it to switch on fast. After about 15 mins the damn thing came on, she thanked her stars because, on a normal day, it usually took 30 mins. She didn't waste time as she replied to Curt immediately ' Sorry it was a joke. I was about to tell you that when my phone went off. The crazy phone he didn't reply immediately and she silently hoped she didn't drive him away with her stupid joke. She was about to keep the phone down when she got his message.
' Alright. So answer the question'
' No' she answered truthfully.
' So that means you're still a virgin?' she choked on her saliva. That was a very personal question. Did he want to use her for a blood sacrifice? It was common for that cultist to look for little virgins like herself for their cult condition.
' That's a very personal question.' she responded.
' There's nothing shy about it. It's not a taboo being a virgin." he told her.
' Well, I don't find it comfortable talking about something so private for me" she replied.
' Okay' he replied and she didn't know what else to say so she kept quiet. Then he sent another message ' Do you like me?'
' I haven't known you well enough to like you like that but I do like you as a friend.' she said and he didn't reply. She decided to stir up another conversation as she asked him ' What prompted you to become a medical doctor?'... 10 mins.. 20 mins... 30mins, no response. So she decided to go to bed.
The next morning, she checked her phone to see if Curt had replied to her but nothing. So she decided not to bother herself anymore with him replying to her messages. She went outside to the garden as she wanted to bask in the early morning sun. While she was still in the countryside, she normally woke up at 5:30 am to feed the animals and start her chores so she was already accustomed to getting up early. She watered the flowers as she thought about her friends back home, especially Marco and she was a terrible person because ever since she moved here she hasn't texted him. She took out her phone and called him but it wasn't going through. Khloe was relieved she was feeling better as Isa decided to stop the pretence before she gets caught. Khloe having no responsibility again decided to go out and party so the house was practically empty. After they had their meal, Isa decided to lighten up places as she gathered all the staff to have karaoke night. They were having such a good time singing and dancing and the music was so loud that they didn't hear when Scott's car drove in.
"The beginning of yet another hassle with Mr and Mrs Lucifer for sure!" she mentally faces planes herself giving an inner pep talk to help her curb her tongue from spewing anything which would cause problems for herself and Scott.
