Chapter 2 Going on

The next day, Elliot received an email that the contract had been given to him. He was so happy. He immediately rushed home to share the good news with Lucy. He kept wondering how Lucy came up with that idea. She was brilliant indeed said Elliot,l must enroll her in an accounting school so she came and helped me with business ideas. Lucy was busy in her room reading a book when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it to see Elliot with a smiling face. He asked her if he could come in and she said yes.

He told her about the contract, that he had gotten it back, and thanked her for that idea. He asked her if she went to school because only a graduate would have this idea in mind. She said yes but couldn't further after the dad married his stepmom and she wanted to be an accountant. He told her not to worry because he would enroll her in one of the best schools in Eastwood. Lucy was shocked and she became teary. She immediately knelt down to thank him but he asked her to get up because she deserved it and that was a little reward for helping him get the contract back. He left immediately to his room in high spirits thanks to her. Meanwhile, Lucy was in her room happy that she would be going to school to acquire her dream. She was so happy that day. She went out to look for the driver to give him some of the cookies. Elliot woke up feeling hungry and tired. He went to wash down and came downstairs to eat his meal. Lucy serve him with assorted rice and chunks of meat. He asked for a glass of water and she went to the kitchen to bring one. When she came he asked her to come sit down and also eat. Lucy rejected the offer she claimed she was a maid and must always eat in the kitchen. But he told her he asked her to since he brought her here. Lucy immediately went to the kitchen picked her food up and came to eat at the dining hall with the master. After eating, he told her to come to his room. She washed everything cleaned up and left for the master's room. When she got there he told her which accommodation will she like to go in for. Lucy said she would like to go to school from the house she doesn't want to go and stay the day since no one will look after him. He told her to feel free to choose any because he could get a new maid.

Lucy told him that she wanted to go to school from the house. He agreed to her and gave her a bag with new clothes to put on from now onwards. She thanked him and left the room. She poured everything on her bed to see what was inside. She saw how good it looked on her. A pair of new slippers and shoes was inside too. Tears of joy, she thought she was dreaming but it was real. The next day Lucy wore one of the dresses and combed her hair nicely all back and tied it in a ponytail style. The driver saw her and complimented her. She felt so good and happy. She went to ask the master if he wanted his usual coffee or something else today. When the master saw her he was dumbfounded. He kept wondering if it was Lucy. She saw how the master was looking at her so she tapped him to remind him that she was still there. He immediately acted like something fell on his eyes and asked her to take his handkerchief for him. She took it and he wiped his face with it and asked her to bring him coffee. Lucy was thinking about what just happened whether the dress was revealing or something was wrong with her body.
