CHAPTER 91

Her Seducing Skills Can Never Go Wrong

The study room went quiet with Maurice looking at Freya, and the lady comported herself trying not to quiver under the man's gaze.

"About that I walked in on them when they were having this conversation, I am sorry if you found my move, sleazy sir…I just wanted to have evidence of them doing something so that I will be able to back my claims," Freya says, bowing her head in shame thinking that the man would hate her for getting a video of the women.

Maurice chuckles hearing Freya's words, and he wonders which part of his actions looks deliberate like he was trying to punish her.

"Why am I going to punish you? I mean you just helped me with getting this kind of information, why am I going to be angry at you?" Maurice says, dropping the phone on his table and he decided to send the video to his phone, deleting it in Freya's phone.

"What's your name?" Maurice asked, and Freya's eyes widened hearing that Maurice was interested in knowing her name and she got all giddy.

"Freya! I mean Freya is my name," Freya exclaimed excitedly, but she tamed her excitement not wanting to irritate the man.

"Ok Ms. Freya, what did you want?" Maurice asked, folding his hand and looking at Freya and the lady looked at him shocked.

"What did you mean by that sir?" She asked.

"I am sure you were expecting something when you handed this over to me right? So what did you want?" He asked.

"No, I do not want anything, sir, I just want to let you know about what's going on in the house, and since you have been informed can I be excused?" Freya asked.

Maurice was surprised hearing the girl's words, and he asked again to be sure but the girl's words were the same thing saying she didn't do it to receive favors.

Maurice permitted that she could go and she picked up her phone bowing her head as she took her leave.

Maurice watched as Freya walked out of the study room, and his face was doubting as the door slammed behind the girl leaving him alone in the room.

"What? She doesn't want anything? Why do I feel like she wants something?" Maurice wondered, placing his hand under his chin as he thought about the conversation he had with the girl.

Maurice has always believed that everyone has a motive for doing something and knows no one is a saint, but hearing Freya's words he doubted her heavily.

"I am going to keep my eyes on you, Ms. Freya, I don't know when you also might act up," Maurice says, and his eyes filled with different flickering emotions.

***************************

Penelope was in her room jittering around anxiously as she thought about what happened in the living room that night.

She could still remember how she and Benedicta planned to guilt trip the gullible Alexa into letting them both stay in the house, and since Maurice listened to her they could use her influence to extend their stay.

"That trash of a plan! I should not have agreed to it in the first place!" Penelope gritted as she bit on her fingers in anger, but her movement stopped abruptly when she remembered tiny details so she picked up her phone to make a call.

The person Penelope called rather picked up the call late, as she picked up the call on the third ring.

"What did you think I should do now, Maya? The plan is falling apart," Penelope bellowed into her phone, and the person on the other side of the phone hissed frustratedly.

"How is the plan not going to fail when you don't listen to the people who let you in on the plan," the lady said from the other side of the phone and Penelope hissed in frustration.

"What did you mean by that? Don't tell me that Benedicta has called you to complain about me?" She asked.

"Yes and it's high time you stop misbehaving," the lady warned, and Penelope got irritated.

"What did you mean I shouldn't misbehave? Is it my fault that the two siblings are fools to not have adequate information that I need to get Maurice hooked?" Penelope says into the phone already pissed about what the person was talking about.

She left her peaceful, not so eventful life to substitute for someone, but all that she has been getting were threats and disrespect, she just cannot stomach that.

"I know you are angry, but you have to stomach that anger and work hard to stay in that house..that's the only way you can achieve your aim.. your real aim," the lady on the other side of the phone reminded Penelope, and the lady hissed seeing that she really needed to do something.

"Yes, you are right I remember the main reason I took the job in the first place, but how am I to seduce someone that tears me worse than a dog," Penelope spat.

Yes, Penelope's main aim in coming to the house was to seduce Maurice, and being Benedicta's accomplice was just a cover.

Her eyes have been on Maurice ever since and she has always longed for the position of Mrs. Heather.

"But I thought they say the girl is someone he longed for…did they plan it all wrong?" The lady on the other side of the phone asked, and I just hissed in frustration.

"You are not helping I have to go," Penelope says, hanging up on the call and she ponders on what her next course of action is.

She can not possibly leave the house so she has to find something to redeem her.

"I can't just stay here and rot..I have to do something," Penelope said, biting off her fingers as she tried to think of the trick she was going to use on Maurice, she never could have thought seducing the man was going to be that hard because she was sure that her seducing skills could never go wrong.
