Chapter 36
It’s Not What You Think
The following day was weekend, since Amy wasn’t really busy, she thought she could go and pay Mike a
visit and most importantly tell him that he would be reinstalled back and that she would stop working
there. She would have called him on phone but she thought it would be more proper to pay him a visit.
Plus, she doesn’t plan on visiting him again after today.
The maids were with the kids at the backyard of the house, playing with them, since Amy doesn’t have a
plan of coming back late, she did not really see any reason to inform the maids and the kids. As for
Broderick, it would be better to inform him cause she doesn’t want any trouble with him. He might not
understand her true intentions of going so it’s better she made it clear to him before leaving. She walked
over to his room and planted a knock on the door severally but soon realized that the door was locked,
implying that there was no one inside. He checked his study room and knocked, she knew that he
doesn’t like to be disturbed but she would rather disturb him than to get to his trouble later on. She
knocked again and again but didn’t get a response. She twisted the knob and saw him sitting before his
desk. His study room was like a library with so many books. He had a cup of coffee before him and
seemed to be seriously studying. He must hear that someone was knocking on the door yet he did not
respond, was he so engrossed in what he was doing? Infact, ever since she had opened the door,

and then closed the door back gently and walked out. She has not asked Broderick yet if she could use
any of his car and she did not even plan on asking cause she doesn’t want to feel like she owes him
anything. Though trekking from his mansion to where she could get a cab daily can be very tiring.
Broderick on the other end hasn’t ever offered her a car either. Wondered what sort of his husband he is.
This was someone who had more than fifteen latest and most expensive car in his garage. Once Amy
got to where she could take a cab, she took one that transported her to Mike’s house. Once she got
there, she allighted and walked to the entrance of the bongalow, she pressed on the doorbell and in a
jiffy, the door opened. Mike furrowed his brow in shock when he saw her, “oh my gosh! Amy, I never
expect that I would see you.” Amy was alll smiles and then he gestured for her to walk in after which she
did, “please have your sit.” He said, very happy to see her. “Thank you,” Amy sat gently. “What would you
like to take? I can get whatever you want for you,” he said. “Well… How would I tell you I’m okay? I kind
of ate before I came. But thank you. If I feel hungry or need a drink before I leave, trust me, I’ll tell you,”
Amy said. “It’s fine,” Mike smiled and sat, “so how are you doing?” “Well, I’m fine. I’ve got a good news
for you, you will be employed again,” she said. “I was about to tell you that I was asked to resume work
on Monday. You can’t imagine how happy I was when I found out, how did you know though?” “Well, I
have someone as a friend who is close to the bosses, I had to plead with her to tell those the bosses to
forgive whatever your offence is and to my surprise, she informed me hours later that you will be
reconsidered,” she said. “Oh my days! All thanks belongs to you,” Mike said. “So what have you been
doing at home? Isn’t it boring being here alone?” Amy asked. “My girlfriend and I haven’t been in a good
term, she’s likely to break up with me,” Mike said. “That’s quiet sad, I’m so sorry. Would you mind me
asking what you did to her that wants her to break up with you?”

“I didn’t cheat,” Mike answered and giggled.
“Like you know that’s what many men do,” Amy chuckled back,
“Well… She told me her family doesn’t want me, I really don’t know why. She said she can’t be on the
bad side of her ramiiy just because of me as her family means everything to her. Her actions and
reactions since then have been flat and dry, and I’m just here waiting for her to break our relationship,”
Mike said.
“Won’t the break up hurt you?” She asked. “It will hurt me so bad but I am getting prepared for it. I can’t
tell her to choose me just to be on the bad side of her family. Maybe our relationship aren’t just meant to
work out,” she said.
“Maybe, or is there something you could do for her family to accept you?” She asked and before Mike
answered, a call came through to her phone. Seeing that the caller ID was Broderick Alessandro, her
heart thumped loudly and she swallowed the saliva she didn’t even know was stored in her mouth. “Are
you fine?” It was impossible for Mike not to notice her nervousness. “I am, a second please,” she

Once she answered the call, Broderick’s voice came through,” in Mike’s house, huh? You have three
minutes to return here.” The call came to an end before she could even say a word. “There is an
emergency, I need to leave,” Amy said and stood immediately. “Oh! Please be fine, okay?” Mike asked
and also stood. “Sure,” Amy answered as she walked swiftly to the door and opened it, “bye Mike.” “Bye,
Amy,” Amy walked out and quickly prayed to get a cab, while waiting for a cab, she turned and saw that
Mike had walked back inside. Mike must be wondering why she was suddenly this nervous, well, they
won’t even get to meet again after this so he can think whatever he wants. She suddenly sighted a cab
approaching her, before the cab could get to her, she felt a hand scratch her neck with it’s fingers and
she winced in pain as she turned only to see the person running away. What? Who the hell is this? She
didn’t have time to think of why a random stranger will scrub her neck and run away, she quickly got
inside the cab and was being transported to Broderick’s house. Perhaps, the person who harassed her in
the neck escaped a psychiatrist institution, it was absurd to her. She checked her wrist watch and saw
that three minutes had passed, oops! She paid the cab driver immediately the cab arrived at Broderick’s
mansion. She didn’t even know why she was nervous. It’s not as if Broderick will hurt her, or maybe she
was just concerned about Mike, Broderick may actually hurt him. If he can fire him just for eating with
her, what will he do then since she went to his house? Amy walked inside but couldn’t find anyone at the
living room, also, the house seemed extraordinary quiet and that gave her goosebumps. She dialed his
number but it was only dropping, she walked quickly to his room and saw that the door was slightly
opened, she pushed the door open but didn’t see anyone in the room. A figure appeared behind her and
suddenly slammed the door closed, making her heart almost jump off her throat. She turned and saw
