Andria felt the car stop and the driver get out. She bit her lip already anxious.
Karlye had to let her come alone after he received a call from work. Leaving her with his assistant to guide her.
"Madam, we are home " said the driver.
She thanked him, getting out, faced with a huge, beautiful house.
They had stopped at a shopping mall and changed her clothes and shoes. Her curly hair was now straight and held in a ponytail.
She breathed following the assistant who had introduced himself as Trevor.
"AHH Trevor, can I have a few seconds " she asked before they stepped inside.
He nodded walking in.
She took a deep breath as she muttered to herself.
You can do it. Think of it as another role you need to perform, and you always do your best.
She froze when a loud sound of something breaking sounded inside the house, followed by the cry of a child.
Andria turned rushing inside without thinking, she could hear the little voice calling out to her mother.
That was her, the child she had been told to help. Her heart was pounding as she reached the source of the voice.
Dressed in a long white nightdress was a young little girl, with brown long hair standing barefoot as she cried.
Her one hand was holding a teddy bear while the other covered her blushing face.
"I want my mommy "she cried.
The two flustered maids froze when they saw Andria rush in.
"Madam " they both cried out.
Myra stopped crying, moving her hand from her face and looking at her mother.
"Mommy " she sniffed.
Andria gulped, then slowly nodded, "I'm here, baby come here "She knelt down
Myra burst into tears running into her embrace. Her small frame disappears into her arms.
"Mommy, where did you go for so long?" she cried.
"I am sorry, baby, I'm here now ", Andria found herself holding back her tears as she soothed the little girl .
Andria opened her eyes, she breathed, noticing the little girl sleeping next to her. She must have fallen asleep, too, when she took her to bed.
It has been days since she had a good night's sleep , after her sister's death, sleep rarely came to her.
She looked around, noticing it was dark outside already, and someone had pulled the covers over them.
She breathed, too tired to get up. Her body felt limp, so she got closer to Myra and went back to sleep.
.....
Karlye had got back home later in the day. He asked about Andria and Myra, and Trevor told him they were upstairs in their room.
Karlye and Myra were asleep his daughter was warmly lying next to Andria, who seemed to be soundly asleep too.
Quietly he pulled the covers over them and left the room.
Trevor followed him to his study.
"What did you find out about that company ?" he asked.
"It seems the CEO is involved in illegal activities and uses his company as a cover for it. As for the actresses and actors who sign under him, only those with special connections and privileges or who do what he tells them are actually given opportunities to work and others, like Miss Avertt, are laid off till there contracts expire if they fail to reach his expectations.
Karlye frowned.
"Special connections ... privileges ...what exactly is that?".
Trevor explained in detail and Karlye's face got colder.
"Do everything to shut him down, contact our agency", he said.
"Understood, sir " Trevor pulled out his phone calling a number.
Karlye took it. "Hello, Fred. I need you to set up a meeting. I need you to meet someone," he said.
After his call, he told Trevor to leave and handle the rest of the work.
He leaned back gazing at the picture of his wife on his desk .
I know she isn't you ...but Myra needs her " he mumbled .
