CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
After some minutes passed, he got up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom he turned on the shower and took his bath, not too fast nor too slow, and when he was through, he tied a towel around his waist as he walked out of the shower and stood in front of the bathroom sink where he washed his mouth and shaved, then he washed his face as he walked out of the bathroom.
He put on some body moisturizing lotion as he entered his dressing room and put on a pair of matching outfits alongside his turkey shoe.
When he was done, he put on a wonderful, fully scented, manly cologne, and then he put on his wristwatch. Then something drew his attention, he saw the shoe he had put on yesterday in his shoe rack, and he wondered what it was doing there as he went closer to confirm.
He picked up the shoe and saw that it was already taken care of, and all his mind could think of was Tina, she did his laundry and possibly handled the shoe.
He would get confirmation from her later in the day.
He glanced at his wrist watch to check the time and saw it was already eight o’clock, he wondered if Christina was still in the house because everywhere seemed too quiet, unlike yesterday when she was handling the laundry.
Mr. Gavriel walked out of his room, and everywhere was so unusually quiet. Even when his house was filled with housemaids, a gardener, a butler, a driver, and his chef, it was still quiet, but unlike the quietness he was experiencing now, this was the beginning of his loneliness again, and since he was harsh to Christina, she would not like to go closer to him if it was not something concerning her work.
“I think I have to live with this,” Mr. Gavriel signed as he said to himself.
When he got to the second floor, he could not see any sign of Christina in the house.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Could it be that she has gone to the office?” Mr. Gavriel asked himself as he continued walking towards the first floor, he was indeed hungry.
When he got to the first floor, he noticed everything was sparkling clean.
“Hmm,” Mr. Gavriel signed as he walked into his study room and noticed that everything was neatly arranged, unlike the way he remembered it being last night while he was working.
Anyway, he did not want to bother himself about it since he was going to ask Christina, so he went straight to the table and carried his office bag as he headed towards the dining table.
He had his breakfast, and for the first two times he had ever finished a dish served to him. That has never happened to him, but now even when he tried his best to stop eating, he just found himself devouring the dish more and more.
Finally, when he was done with eating, he drank a full glass of water and headed out of the mansion to the car.
Later, he was going to deal with Christina for leaving him behind and not driving him to work, of course, it was part of her job.
Immediately he got to his car, hopped in, started the ignition, and then he zoomed off to work.
——————————————————
I got to the office at exactly eight o’clock in the morning, and I was so happy about it.
It feels so good to arrive early at your work place if it is the first time.
Suddenly, I remembered Mr. Gavriel. I wondered what he was doing now, if he had eaten the food I prepared for him, if his stomach was still hurting, and I was so damn worried about him and I did not know why.
“What the hell is wrong with you, Christina? Mr. Gavriel is your boss for God’s sake, and you hate him, so where is all this caring and emotion coming from?” I said to myself as I slapped my head continuously.
“Hey, good morning,” a familiar voice greeted, and I turned to see who it was, it was none other than Zoey.
She looked so beautiful, and her dress made her look perfect, unlike yesterday when she wore a casual dress.
“Hi Zoey, good morning,” I said as I admired her.
“Congratulations! I heard you got the job, I am so happy for you!” Zoey exclaimed joyously.
“Yeah, I did, thank you so much,” I replied. I was so happy to hear that she was happy for me.
This was indeed a dream come true for me.
“I just hope you can work with the boss because I heard that he has never employed a secretary to work for him in twenty years, so I think he will feel a bit weird when you guys are working together.” So just put yourself together and endure our nasty boss. Zoey said as she stared transfixed at me.
“Yeah, Mr. Aaron told me about it, and I know I would manage,” I replied to her in a calm tone as I admired her baby-like facial features.
“Okay, just take care of yourself and do not get into any sort of trouble with the boss or involve the boss, or else he would not think twice before making a hasty decision,” Zoey added voluntarily.
“Sure, I have to get going, so I would prepare his tea before he arrives. Thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it,” I replied, and Zoey smiled as she nodded her head in approval as she walked towards the receptionist’s office and I headed to the employees’ elevator.

The elevator clicked, indicating that I had arrived at my destination. The door opened as I gracefully walked out of the elevator.
I headed to my office and dropped my bag and my phone as I checked my time and it was already twenty-four minutes past eight, and I was already worried about Mr. Gavriel. I wondered why he had not arrived yet, as then I also headed straight to the tea counter to prepare Mr. Gavriel’s morning tea, which was said to be his morning routine.
