Chapter 7

• Louisa stood before her almost totally broken mirror fidgeting as she  applied light makeup on her face and packed her hair into her usual ponytail style.
• She rushed down to the restroom to use her mint flavoured mouth spray,palmed her hair again and dashed out.
• It was already 1.40 pm, she checked the time paced to and fro nervously. She stood before her mirror,cleared her throat and did a little rehearsal.
• " Hmm hmm hmm, good day Declan, sounds too simple. Hey Declan, how are you" she said going on and on until she heard the door bell.
• She quickly ambulated to Danna's room to bid her goodbye and soon was out, she took a deep breath, wore her almost real smile before she finally opened the door.
• "Hey ma'am you look great" Declan said.
• Louisa stared at him with utmost confusion, he seemed like a total different person, his voice was calm and suiting unlike his previous cold countenance. Louisa turned to look at the back to be sure he was addressing her.
• " Hum..thank you! Sorry if I may ask are you same the Declan that came the previous day?" She asked curiously.
• Declan looked at the car direction briefly and leaned closer to her who was still standing at the door entrance.
• "I know we had a soar first time meeting, you can just skip it when you meet the boss uhn..I was just too stressed the other day,if not how on Earth would I address you in such a way" he said.
• While he was still talking his mobile buzzed and he nervously took the call.
• " Yes ma'am,we would be out soon" he said.
• Louisa looked at him intently.
• "He is not a big deal after all" she whispered as she shut the door behind her.On stepping out she was stunned to see the black colored Lamborghini sesto elemto packed at the parking lot. A young Man whom she guessed to be the driver stood beside the car with a creased face and his hands folded across his chest.
• Declan opened the door and ushered her in while the young man entered and they drove away. 
• After pinching herself countless time to be sure she wasn’t dreaming ,Loisa felt like she was inside an entirely different world, she wanted to scream her lungs off  and hop and dance as she sings.
• "I can't believe I am in a god damn Lamborghini even before fame, OMG! This is definitely a good sign!" She clamoured in her head
• She flung her ponytail backwards and crossed her legs, dabbed her face lightly with a handkerchief and leaned her head backwards on the car seat as took a deep breath with her eyes shut and her mind blank..
• “ oh what comfort! I deserve to feel important for some minutes and more” she said and giggled mildly
• “Chloe has to see this ..” she thought as she brought out her mobile and stylishly took few pictures, unaware to her that Declan was staring from the car's center mirror and smiling.
• After about an hour ride due to traffic the car pulled over in front of a coffee shop, she driver honked loudly to get the attention of Louisa who was already sleeping and in fact snoring. The sound successfully woke her from her slumber after several minutes of trying.
• Louisa hopped out the car and adjusted her dress nervously, she lowered her body to see her face I the car glass.
• “louisa how could you sleep in such a situation, damn it ! you even drooled.” She shrieked.
• Seconds later she stood upright reorganised her dress, clenched her bag beside her and ambulated majestically towards the coffee shop entrance.
• She got herself a sit in the corner of the shop while Declan quietly followed suit. After they were both sitted , Louisa stared keenly at Declan who was busy looking around the coffee shop.
• "Hmm hmm hmm, I guess I'd go first, I actually called back because after you left I Wonder who your boss could be that he desperately wants to see me, when according to your words I have just been living a miserable life and--"
• She was saying but was interrupted by Declan.
• " Forgive my manner the other day, can you please try not to mention it before her? And yes my boss is a female before you start having thoughts and you will meet her in few minutes time" he said looking at her through the corner of his eyes.
• "Oh I see...you sure have a sharp tongue" she whispered.
• She sipped from her the cup of coffee before her , glared at him in expectation to end the meeting and inform her when she would be meeting the boss but Declans voice resounded in her hears.
• "You will be meeting her soon? Was that what he said? It can't be, I asked a meeting with him not his boss."
• She leaned closer and tapped the table to call the attention of Declan who seemed to be scanning each customer that entered the shop.
• "Did I just hear you say your boss will be here today,I will be meeting him soon? Or--"
• " Here she is! " Declan said cut Louisa off her sentence.
• Declan sprang up and and pulled a chair for his boss then stood beside the chair with his hands folded behind his back.
• Louisa slowly titled her head to behold the boss whom Declan dreaded so much; her eyes bulged and and her jaw fell ajar, unconsciously she slowly rose from her seat and she raised her hand to cover her gaped mouth.
• "It's a female, an highly incredible female" she whispered
• Natalie approached Louisa wearing a  broad smile.
• "Welcome ma'am" Declan said.
• "Hello you must be Louisa, I am Natalie" she said offering a handshake.
• Louisa whose mouth was still widely ajar, stared at the young looking lady standing before her right from the strand of her hair to the nail of her toes.
• Natalie wore a light make up, her nose sat perfectly such that it seemed to good to be real,her eyes were covered with shade and her with a simple designer scarf. Her hand bag was customised with her me crested on it just below the G&D logo.
• Her cologne was strong but alluring, a strong scent of sunflower mixed with Jasmine made her smell like paradise.
• Her scent didn't only drown Louisa in the world of flowers but also called the attention of few people in the shop as the turned to admire her.
• Lost in her thought and analysis Louisa suddenly regained a piece of memory she had repressed.
• A young looking lady hustling for cab beside her, one of the reasons she lost her job and a chance to fame. 
• " It was her, it definitely was her, but why would a lady of her caliber go out through a cab?" She thought.
• She raised her bowed head briskly and suinted her eyes till she realise her hands were still out stretched and hanging in the air.
• " I hum...I am sorry, was just lost examining you beauty" she said and took her hand as they both say down.
• Still in doubt, she bit her lips and gathered courage to speak her mind.
• " Hum..have we by chance met?" She asked
• Natalie on hearing her questions smiled faintly, grabbed her cup of coffee to sip from it and gently laid it down.
• " Yes we have and I am extremely grateful for the help you rendered that day, you don't know how great it was for me. Also you might not remember but we met at the daffodils hotels and bars I guess two days after the cab incident."
• " You don't know how miserable my life became after that day at the bus stop" she thought.
• " Oh I'm glad I'm of help, but how did you find me... And why did you choose to see me, if you intend to show appreciation it is ain't needed for real.I mean--" she uttered instead
• " That's not the pressing issue if you ask me, I found you and I am glad I did, your last question will lead us to the business at hand" Natalie said and Louisa quietly nodded.
• Natalie looked right and left and looked over her shoulders before she turned back Louisa  and removed her shade.
• " I'm sorry I'm dressed in this way, at times fame and wealth comes with a price to pray" she said.
• " A price  I'm willing to pay over and over again" Louisa thought in her mind.
• She smiles sheepishly and leaned forward
• " I understand you very well ma'am" Louisa said.
• Nat moved the cup in front of her sideways interlocked her fingers into each other and looked keenly at Louisa.
• " For some reason Louisa I have found likeness in you. And I will like to hire you for a really private job, which I believe you will be able to carry out descreatly, if you carry this job out perfectly, I'd offer you a permanent job, for  this job I'd offer you the sum of $5,000."
• " What five thousand dollar? What am I supposed to do" Louisa looked right and left then leaned forward such that her face is close to Nat.
• " Hope I am not to kill anybody" Louisa whispered.
• Natalie scuffed and lightly places her palm of Louisa hand.
• " Nothing of such Louisa, you are just to move in with my son for two weeks andake sure he attends a family dinner" Nat responded.
• " Just that?" Louisa blurted.
• " It is not as easy as it seem, my son is a tough one to deal with, the only sign he is alive is that he breathes and work infact he hardly eats. He is dead within" Natalie said while she fought tears.
• Louisa staring pitifully at her stretched hand to offer her a handkerchief which she took and gently dabbed her eyes.
• " I'd need to think it through ma'am, I'd have loved to take it up immediately but there are several things I need to consider.i hope you understand "
• " Sure Louisa, take your time, the family dinner is on 5 of the next month anyway, I hope to here from you bgefore then" she said.
• Nat smiled warmly,stood up,put on her shade and bid Louisa good bye.
