Chapter 22

When the girls arrive, they excitedly get into the truck. My Darling is fascinated by accompanying the girls and me to the zoo. We waited a whole month to be able to do this excursion.

"Sensei" one of the girls calls me, looking at her, she looks at the gorilla that is taking care of us at the request of Yazahib.

"What's going on honey?" I kneel to be at her level, the girl looks at me with worried eyes. With my heart softened by her gesture, I caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead. "What's wrong, honey? Everything is alright? Do you want to go to the bathroom?” The girl shakes her head shyly.

"It's just that those very big men scare me," she whispers close to my ear. "Why do they follow us everywhere? They're scary.”

Smiling tenderly at her, I looked at the men, “you need not be afraid, darling, Yazahib has sent them so they can take care of us. Look, they are not bad, do you want me to introduce them to you and that way you get to know them?” She nods her head, “okay, look, he is Francisco, he is Santos, and the other is Russo,” they offered a friendly look and extend their hands to the girl and introduce themselves.

"Don't fear for us," Russo smiles at her, "we just take care of you, we're not bad. I have a daughter just as beautiful as you, and I know you are very brave, right?”

The girl now with more confidence nods her head, “yes, I am very brave. Sensei teaches us to defend ourselves, right Sensei?” Smiling happy because now she is calm, I get up.

“Yes darling, but I only teach you to defend yourself, you are already brave,” I look at the man and smile at him in gratitude, “now let's go, the others have gone ahead and I don't want you to miss anything,” the girl gives me a hug and then takes my hand to follow the others.

“Look at the koalas, aren't they wonderful?” Simone looks at the animals and gets excited as if he were just another child. My friend is very happy and the little things drive him crazy with happiness. I can't believe he still hasn't found someone who loves him. I hug him and he kisses my head.

“They are beautiful,” the girls look closely at the animals.

“It’s time to go back, 6 hours have passed and I have to work today,” my friend looks at me sadly like the girls, “I’m sorry girls. Yazahib promised that he would take us to the movies. Don't you like the idea?” They all shriek excited by that news, “then let's go home,” all holding hands, we start walking towards the truck. When my Darling arrives, he lets me go and we also go up.

"I'm excited for today's part," I look at Simone, “you shouldn't work, I don't understand how Yazahib accepted you to work. The party is his,” he shrugged.

"He has allowed it because I'll only work a few hours," I snort tiredly, "I don't know what to do with him," I look at the girls sleeping and smile, "let's not make noise, we can wake them up." My friend nods and also watched the girls sleep.

Arriving at Yazahib's mansion, my friend and I hurried to get ready to go to the party. My entrance is before everyone else and I am very late. Prepared with my work uniform consisting of: black cloth pants, white long-sleeved shirt, bowtie and black high-heeled shoes ... Shoes are a nightmare!

"Teddy… I'm ready, you're late darling, hurry up,” I hear my friend and Yazahib who is on the phone also hears him.

"Do you see it? You should come alone to the party and not to work, as I have asked you,” I sigh and take my bag to leave the room, I will not wear the dress and that way I will not stop working.

"Honey ... I'll be there on time, please stop insisting, let me work a bit," Yazahib growls in a bad mood "I must go darling, I love you" I smile as I tell him this.

"And I love you," he says in a honeyed voice. When I hung up, I run downstairs to meet my friend.

"I'm ready honey, let's go." Simone grabs the car keys and we both run out of the house. Once in the car, my friend accelerates full throttle. "God, Alex wrote to me and said the place is filling up, I don't understand why Yazahib is throwing such a huge party like that.” I snort, pulling my hair into a high bun.

“It’s normal Teddy. Remember that Yazahib is very important and there are many people he knows. You shouldn't be surprised when the paparazzi take photos of you and don't leave you alone. You are crazy! You shouldn't work. Do you know what they would say about you and Yazahib? Your boyfriend is a billionaire ... And you are waiting tables?” He shakes his head, “that looks very bad Teddy, very bad.”

I don't tell my friend, this conversation is not worth continuing. If I work cleaning floors, nobody should care. I don't want to live alone with Yazahib's money, I want to work and have my own money even though my boyfriend gets mad.

When I get to the hotel room ´Italia´ I get out of the car and in a hurry I go with my companions to the kitchen area while Simone goes with Rusa and Will. When we arrive, they are already giving the orders.

“You have arrived darling,” my boss smiles at me, “I was worried,” he breathes, relaxed, “you are at the bar, taking care of and cleaning the table,” he looks at me for a few seconds, “you sure Mr. Meyer is not going to get angry?”

I smile, of course he's going to be mad, “no, remember that I'm the owner, he doesn't have to be angry, after all I like my job" I and my colleagues smile.

"Good team ... let's show that we are good" all wishing each other luck we left the kitchen. Working with money people is not easy they are all superb.

Ready with work, I start to attend to everyone who calls me, I notice Yazahib gorilla following me and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I stop. "Can you stop following me? It is uncomfortable to work with someone following in my footsteps,” the man does not speak to me, Yazahib forbids them to do so. “By God, what a nightmare! When I specifically get to a table, I stop and smile at them, but the older man accompanying Yazahib's ex-girlfriend and another young woman looks at me like I'm a ghost. The man puts his hand to his chest and seems to be having a heart attack.
