The Hate His Touch

Photos of Daddy and Clara

"Yes, we'll wait in the living room. Come on, Clara," said Albert calmly.

"I have a right to know" Clara said, rejecting Albert's invitation.

"We need to talk" Albert said, distracting Clara.

Clara followed Albert.

"It's not a daddy's writing," my quarry threw out the will the lawyer first read.

"I know Miss is suspicious. Are you not suspicious of the accident that Mr. Evelyn had? I know it's not the master who made it but Miss Clara. I suspect Miss Clara was planning to kill Mr. Evelyn, but it took me a while to get the evidence. He's too cunning and clever, miss. Be careful and don't let your guard down" the lawyer advised me.

"Why then did this original will incriminate me? Why should I marry Albert? He's hooked on Clara, "I'm upset.

"This letter was made before me and I swear that this letter was written by your own father without any coercion from anyone. Maybe Mr. Evelyn trusts Mr. Francisco more. I'm sure Mr. Francisco has no ill intentions for you" replied daddy's lawyer.

"Then how?" my many.

"While I'm going to take the middle ground until we get proof. Let Miss Clara stay in this house until it's all uncovered" daddy's lawyer told me.

"Can I take care of the company from tomorrow? The daddy department must be filled," I said.

"Yes, Miss. Tomorrow I and the chief maid will help you. I hope you can start adjusting in the crowd" said daddy's lawyer who made me frown.

I never knew he knew about me. Dad's lawyer asked permission to leave. I just nodded while looking at him blankly.

The chief maid treated my back wound that was starting to improve. I didn't know what Albert was giving me until my injuries quickly improved.

"Are you sure you're going to the office tomorrow?" ask the chief maid.

I nodded to answer the chief maid's question. The chief maid helped me put on my sleeping dress.

"Miss has to have dinner" said the chief maid.

"I'm tired of the chief maid.don't let anyone in."

"Except me." I looked at Albert who had just entered my room.

I clutched the hand of the chief maid who was about to leave.

"You have to come down for dinner" said Albert as he approached me in my bed.

"No" I replied firmly.

"Then you can't leave" he said softly.

"You can't hold me back!" my snapping.

"Pick you for dinner or I'll make you unable to leave tomorrow. I swear I'll do anything to hold you back including entering you, sweetheart."

I tighten my grip to the chief maid. Albert said it softly but not with his eyes looking at me sharply.

"Go first, I'll catch up. Don't wait for me at the door" I said.

Albert smiled gently at me. He grabbed me and kissed me on my forehead.

"I will wait for you" he said before leaving.

I got out of my room and didn't find Albert in front of me. I breathed a sigh of relief and went straight down towards the dining table. I was silent when I saw Albert and Clara making out at the dinner table. Clara sits at the dinner table and kisses Albert back. Albert opened his eyes and looked at me while kissing Clara. He looked at me intensely. I don't know what it means to look at me like that. I intend to leave when I do not see their intention to stop their shameful behavior.

"Stop there" said Albert.

I looked towards those who looked breathless.

"You jealous?" said Albert.

I heard Clara's laughter mocking me. I really hate those two who are so disgusting.

"You don't expect to have Albert. Once that lawyer decides I'm the holder of your father's entire estate, I'll put you in an orphanage soon. Don't dream of Miss Evelyn" Clara mocked.

"I won't dream with my eyes open, Miss pel*cur."

I walked away after saying that. I don't want to hear Clara's answer to my words. I asked the chief maid to bring me some food. I feel like throwing up if I linger in one room.

I looked at myself in the glass before I left. I used a dark blue span outfit skirt and combined it with a white shirt. I felt a little uncomfortable because my clothes were too tight and showed me the curves of my body. Added to my hair in the ponytail makes my neck visible. I can only sigh. The maid leader smiled at me who looked blushing because of her amazed look.

"Come," I said.

The chief maid let me out of my room.

"You've been waiting at the dinner table" said the chairman of the maid.

"Bring me some food. I don't want to see anything dirty anymore" I said as I walked towards the exit.

The chief maid gave the code to the maids who followed us. The maid chief still continued to follow me while carrying my bag. Maid given the code of the chairman of the maid appeared with a supply box. The chief maid received his box and followed me back. I flinch when something pulls me. I saw Albert looking neat in his work shirt. I stomped my hand, but Albert pulled me and****** my lips were soft. I flailed his chest. He took off my hairband until my hair was back. He took off our kiss and I slapped him hard.

"Br*ch! You're disgusting!" angry say.

I wiped my lips violently and walked quickly towards my car. The chief maid helped me clean up the messy lipstick. He again confirmed my makeup but did not tie my hair.

"That's your hair still on Mr. Albert" said the chief maid.

I clucked in annoyance and tidied up my broken hair.

"That's what you call helping?" kapaku.

I got out of the car without taking off my sunglass. All the employees saluted me. I walked past them without caring about my surroundings. I just want to hurry up to my room. I find it hard to breathe around them. The employees who saw me heading to the elevator immediately gave me a way. The elevator was deliberately emptied for me to wear.

"Are you okay?" ask the chief maid.

"No," I said with a tired sigh.

I listened to all the explanations of the maid chief and daddy's lawyer. The knock on the door made us stop our conversation. I read the report no matter who knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, miss Evelyn. I'm Rachel Emanuel, Mr. Secretary. Evely. Now I will be your secretary" he said.

I was still staring at my report without a care for her who was waiting for me to look at her. Without even looking at it I knew what she was wearing now and what she was displaying in front of me.

"I gave you 30 minutes to fix your shirt which looks like *******. If you can't dress properly after your 30 minutes are up, hand over Ms. Emanuel," I said coldly without looking at him.

"Per .. per .. excuse me, Miss," he said stammeringly.

Rachel was in a hurry out of my room. I threw in the financial statements I held.

"It looks like prostitution rather than an office. Chairman of the maid please call the head of the finance division," I said annoyed.

"Alright, miss," replied the chief maid.

"Relax, Miss. Your journey is still very long. I hope you get through it. I'm proud to see your aura more assertive than your Daddy was. I didn't expect you to be this firm" said daddy's lawyer.

I just silently looked at the photo of daddy and Clara attached to replace the family photo that my father used to display. I've seen this room in photos of daddy in interviews with famous magazines. I remember the photo that used to be displayed was a photo of daddy and mommy holding me. I walked over to the photo and took the big picture down alone. Dad's lawyer came over to help me. I threw a rough ball on the photo floor.
