Chapter 48
He saw Catherine’s car parked right in front of his building.
What the hell does she want! It’s not time to visit Arin yet but he was surprised and almost shocked to see Javad step out of the car and not only Javad…
Gladys too, one of his maids too. “What the hell!” He cursed.
He left Arin to continue to converse with Irish over the phone while he left the room in a rush.
He got to the living room and Javad and Gladys walked in at the same time. “What was that?” Harold asked harshly and Javad was surprised.
Ethan had never spoken to him in that manner.
“Wh.. at Mr Ethan?” Gladys asked hoping the cat hadn’t been let out of the bag. They were just returning from Morgan’s building after hatching a new plan.
Catherine had promised her a lot if she could hurt Irish and she’s more than pleased to do the job.
First, from the look of things Ethan is starting to like Irish and she hated that. She had loved Ethan right from time but he had been so blind to see that.
She wanted him for herself and she had tried severally to make him see that but no! He doesn’t always look her way.
And now she finally get to deal with the lady who has been getting his attention lately! “Why the hell did Catherine drop you!?” Ethan seethe.
“What! He had seen that?” Javad panicked inwardly. “H.. how did you… see that Mr Javad?” Gladys asked.
“I was standing by my window! Now, answer my question” Ethan said. “She gave me a lift”Javad said.
“Me too” Gladys said.
“How? Like… what are you saying.? A lift? When did you both go out? How could you go out without informing me and even if you wanted to go out, why didn’t you take one of the cars” Ethan said.
“I.. I was bored, i only took a walk and i didn’t even knew i had gone far until i heard the horn of a car. It was Catherine and she offered to drop me at home since she was going through the
same route. I refused ofcourse but she insisted. On getting into the car, i saw Gladys” Gladys said, glad his lie had come out smoothly.
He hoped Ethan believes him…
“Ohh… so Gladys, what were you doing in Catherine’s car?” Ethan asked. She cleared her throat and sighed.
What is she gonna tell him?
What would she say she was doing in Catherine’s car?
She should have just declined the offer of Catherine dropping them at home but they were pinpointing ways to execute their plans.
She was glad Ethan hadn’t seen his brother, Morgan who had been in the car too.
“Gladys!” Ethan half yelled.
“She offered me a ride too Mr Ethan”Gladys said.
“When did you left the house? You left without informing me?”
“I.. i quickly went to say hi to my mum… and Catherine offered to give me a lift” Gladys lied.
“I’m not against you checking on your mother but you should inform me first and then why didn’t you take one of the cars?” Ethan asked.
“I.. didn’t want to disturb you, all i planned was just to say hi and return. I’m sorry Mr Ethan” Gladys said, licking her lips in the process.
“I’m sorry Mr Ethan” Javad said. “It’s fine” Ethan said calmly.
“But you both should know Catherine isn’t welcomed here. Y’all know how she almost destroyed me. I want everyone working for me to stay away from her . She’s dangerous and evil!” Ethan said.
“Okay Mr Ethan” Javad and Gladys chorused, including the bodyguards in the living room.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“How come Catherine gave the both of you a ride together, the same day! almost the same time!” Gabrielle said, walking out of the kitchen.
She had heard everything and she knew something was off but she doubted it cause she trusted Hand, he wouldn’t lie. But Gladys the lady is hellish! She’s one of the maids Gladys
doesn’t trust.
Gladys knows almost all the maids have feelings for Ethan but she knew Gladys to be extreme. She had once approached her to help convince Ethan to date her!
“Gabrielle, they just explained to me” Ethan said. “I know! I heard it all” Gabrielle said .
“Catherine giving us lift the same day i guess it’s coincidence” Gladys said with a fake smile.
She hated Gabrielle with passion!
Always behaving like the lady of the house.
