Let's go home. Cont. Pt7
“You heard what I said! You’re fired! Go and pack your things and leave my estate at once!!!” 

Stunned by what had just happened, Carla quickly left the kitchen. Sure, she’d planned on quitting, but that was only after Resena left, she wasn’t prepared to leave that evening. Yes, this had been a bad idea indeed. Delvoy wanted to blame someone, and Carla was an easy target. 

“Yes. I’m good. Better than good! Thank you for asking!” 

Just then Resena noticed Carla’s face. “Was she crying? Why?” 

“Umm, Carla, forgive me for asking, but have you been crying?” 

Carla looked directly at Resena; she had indeed been crying. Suddenly, her eyes began to swell. 

“Oh Ms. Resena!! He’s an absolute monster!!!” 

Shocked and confused, Resena directed Carla over to a chair so that she could sit down. After composing herself, Carla began to explain what happened after she left. 

Resena could hardly believe it! Delvoy had blamed Carla! Of all the ridiculous things! Resena found herself feeling instantly guilty. Because of Carla’s kindness to her, it had cost her job. Rather than sad, Resena realized for the first time she felt a surge of anger! Her uncle had gone too far! There was no need to drag Carla into this! She would have to find a way to make things right for her.  

Just then, Resena’s communicator began to buzz, it was Julius! 

“Eh hello! Yes!” 

“Hey, we’re pulling into the estate now. Are you packed?” 

“(We??). Um, yes! I’m ready!” 

“Good! I’ll see you soon.” 

After Resena’s call ended, she suddenly got an idea! 

“Carla!” 

“Yes ma’am?” 

“Do you have a lot of things here?” 

Confused by the question, Carla wasn’t sure what made Resena ask her that. Did she plan on offering her a ride to her hometown? That was out of the question, Carla was from a small village that was over an hour away from the city of Conland. No way would she make Ms. Resena go out of her way. It was still relatively early; she would be able to catch a bus. 

“Oh ma’am, that’s okay you don’t have to give me a ride.” 

“Ride? Oh no, I’m not offering you a ride! Listen, Julius is on his way here to pick me up! I told him was transpired this evening, so he doesn’t think it’s safe for me to stay.” 

“Ms. Resena that’s wonderful!” 

“I want you to come with me!” 

!!!!! Whaaat!!! 

Carla wasn’t sure she’d heard her right, did Ms. Resena just say she wanted her to come with her?? 

“Ms. Resena, I don’t understand what you’re asking. Do you wish for me to move in with you at the Spencer Estate?” 

Grabbing Carla’s hands, Resena had a huge smile on her face. 

“That’s exactly what I’m asking! I was hoping you could be my lady’s maid?” 

“Oh wow! I mean, I’d love to, but do you think Mr. Spencer would be okay with that? I’m sure he’s already got a staff?” 

Resena hadn’t thought of that! Would Julius object to Carla’s coming? She’d decided in haste without even discussing it with him! Resena began to panic, just then, she’d thought of Julius and how sincere he had always been. All Resena had to do was explain how important Carla was to her, she was sure he’d understand. 

“Not to worry Carla, my fiancé is a kind and gentle soul, once I explain to him how much you mean to me, there’s no way he would say no.” 

Tears began to fill Carla’s eyes! She’d wondered what she would do for employment once she had quit, and then Delvoy went and fired her! “On second thought, it’s a good thing I walked into that kitchen after all.” 

As Carla ran to her room to gather her things, Resena began to make her way to the staircase, she’d packed as much as she could, but she would need help with that trunk. She gathered the smaller bags to place at the door. As Resena began walking down the stairs, she heard the doorbell ring. Was it Julius? Had he finally arrived? She could see Diana making her way to the front door when suddenly, Delvoy came charging behind her. Resena suddenly paused on the steps. Without giving her a chance to confirm, he began to bark at her. 

“Who is it!!!” 

“I’m not sure sir; I haven’t had a chance to open the door.” 

“Well then open it!!” 

Delvoy’s anger began to poison the entire house, Resena felt a tinge of guilt, all of this was because she’d chosen to move out before turning eighteen and although she didn’t quite understand why this was so important and she didn’t want to stay, she was beginning to wonder if leaving was the right choice. “I don’t’ want anyone else to suffer because of me. Maybe I should stay.” As Resena began to reconsider her choice, the door swung open, and Julius walked through. Behind him was a taller and larger gentleman that Resena had never seen before. “I wonder who that is.” As both men walked in, Delvoy stopped in his tracks. 

“Spencer!! W-What are you doing here!?” 

“I’m here for Resena.” 

Gasp!! “What!! I thought you said she wasn’t going to move in until Friday!! Why are you here tonight?!” 

Delvoy stood in utter disbelief, what was going on?! Why had Spencer decided to move her in tonight! Just then, as Delvoy turned in confusion, he saw Resena standing on the staircase. She had several bags in her hands,

“What is the meaning of this! Could she have called him to tell him what happened in the kitchen?? How! She doesn’t even have a…”

Suddenly it became clear to Delvoy just how he’d learned what happened this evening between him and Resena and why he was now here.

“Of course he gave her a communicator, his company literally makes them!!!”

Delvoy could feel his mouth getting dry and his throat tightening up. Everything was starting to fall apart. 

“Spencer, I thought we agreed on this Friday! What is the meaning of this!” 

“Lanster, are you really going to stand there and pretend as if you don’t know what’s going on?” 

Delvoy stood in silence, if she hadn’t told him, he most certainly was not going to volunteer that information. 

Sigh. “How disappointing, I had expected better of you Lanster. I spoke to Resena shortly after you accosted her in your kitchen. I no longer feel secure with my fiancé staying here, so it’s best if she leaves tonight.” 

Delvoy began to get angry. Who did Spencer think he was to charge into his home and make demands! While it was true he was the son of a duke, Delvoy had his pride. 

“Look Spencer, I don’t know what that girl has told you…” 

“That GIRL is my fiancé Lanster, and I will not allow you to further disrespect her!”
