Arin has everything anyone would ever wish for.
The second floor contained beautiful and expensive looking home dresses. Different designers, perfect styles, classic look.
Irish had always wanted to own a very big and popular Model store, her dream was to become a very famous Model which both rich and the poor can look up to , she wants to be on the list of famous Models but the dream shattered after her father banned her from one, And her loosing her Model Job at Mr Morgan’s.
To own her imaginable Model store she knows how much it’s gonna cost her and she doesn’t even have quarter of it. She only wants to focus on her getting reunited with her family and her brother schooling, that’s all that matters to her now.
The third floor contained different sort of school wears, neatly ironed and perfectly organized. “Irish, haven’t you found my school bag?” Arin asked.
“Could i have left it in the library” she said to herself.
“I found it” Irush said, picking up the fancy school bag which had a doll ballerina on the front cover.
“Ohh” Arin smiled, glad she hadn’t left it in the library.
Irish closed the wardrobe and walked to Arin with different thoughts running in her mind and she almost wished she was in Arin’s shoes.
“So, I’d love to start from arithmetics” Arin said. “Ohh… okay” Irish said, unzipping the school bag.
She placed all of Arin’s notebook on her bedside stool and then started searching for arithmetics.
“I already called Mr Brian” Javad said to Ethan who was on his way to see Gabrielle in the kitchen.
“Ohh, fine” Ethan smiled at him.
Javad is his one of his best bodyguards, he has this diligent nature that Ethanadmire so much. He had walked for him for quite a long time now. Even when he was in Australia he still employed him and never put him in the list of those to be changed every month.
“You can go have a nice time, I’ll be with Gabrielle in the kitchen” Ethan said to Javad “Okay, Mr Ethan” He said and left.

Gabrielle laughed hard in the kitchen after Ethan sincerely told her the reason he had scared everyone in the dining room.
“You shouldn’t have lied to her” She finally said after her laughter subsided.
“I didn’t wanted to lie to her but she was questioning me and i couldn’t find a better answer” Ethan said.
“If i may ask, why do you want her in your personal dining, you’ve never wanted any of Arin’s past nannies in your dining room” Gabrielle said.
“Well… i don’t know. I just wanted her there” Ethan said and Gabrielle sighed. She’s starting to see something she hadn’t seen in him for years .
“Why the sigh?” Ethan asked.
“There’s another thing i want to discuss with you”Ethan said. “What?”Ethan asked and sipped his wine.
“The amount you want to be paying her is extremely high!”Gabrielle said. “She told you?” Ethan asked.
“Well… she only asked if you pay your workers close to that amount. She knows that amount is outrageous and she couldn’t keep it to herself”she said.
“I want to help her”Ethan said.
“You could have sent your company to do that” Gabrielle said… “I.. i want to help her personally”Ethan said.
“Really? And how did you know she needs help?” Gabrielle aked. “That’s something i can’t tell you now Gabrielle. Not just now” Ethan said. “Okay, should i pour you more wine?” Gabrielle asked.
“No, I’ll be going back to the living room now, come with me” Ethan said. “I’m fine here” Gabrielle said.
“C’mon Gabrielle, you stay in the kitchen all day like it’s your room”Ethan complained and Gabrielle laughed.
“It’s my room” she said.
“I wish you can just allow me employ another cook, you really need to rest after all these years. Please Gabrielle” Ethan said.
He had tried to employ more cooks but Gabrielle always make them leave.
“Ethan. I love what I’m doing and this is the only way im able repay the help you rendered me years back. Without you, i might still be in the streets struggling with my daughter but you gave us a good life” Ethan said.
“Gabrielle, I’ve told you severally to stop mentioning that. You’re my aunt now, you’re no longer the stranger i told my company to help. I took your daughter as my sister and she took me as her cousin. You’ve repayed my help enough, please let me employ another cook. I’m not comfortable with the stress you go through everyday”Ethan said.
“Cooking is no stress for me, i do enjoy it” Gabrielle said. “Please Gabrielle” Ethan said.
“Okay, I’ll think about it”Gabrielle replied and Ethan sighed, shaking his head. they both know she won’t. That’s her way of shuffling the discussion away.
Ethan sighed ” I’ll be in the living room”
“Aren’t you going with your wine?” Gabrielle asked after him. “No” He answered.
Ethan was passing by Arin’s door to his to take a nap, he already spent enough time in the living room.
He stopped when his ear caught what Arin said. Arin hates it when someone listened to her without her permission but he couldn’t resist.
“So now i’ve told you my dream is to become the most famous ballerina in the world and also have my ballet company. What’s your own dream?” Arin asked and Ethan shifted closer to the door.
He pressed his ear to the door when Irish finally spoke after a long silence.
“My dream is to bring back my parents Model company, and also make it bigger, famous and the best in the city. I also want to become one of the best Models in the country, i want my name to appear in the Models top list but i guess some dream can never be fulfilled.” Irish said.
He knew.
He knew her dream and how he found out is best known to him.
“Why did you say that?” Arin asked.
” Let’s go back to your revision” Irish said.
“But you’ve not answered my question” Arin said. “I don’t want to, please” Irish said.
“Okay” Arin drawled.
Ethan left the door and quietly walked to his room.
“Please can I play with your dog?” Arin asked.
They just finished having dinner and Arin had walked into Irish’s room with her just to see her dog.
“Yes” Irish replied.
She sat on the bed as she watched Arin tried touching Dolly who was wringing her tail and sticking out her tongue playfully.
Arin finally touch touch the dog’s head after some seconds. Dolly licked her cheeks and she laughed.
“She’s so beautiful and I like her” Arin said giggling. “She is” Irish confirmed.
“His old is she?” Arin asked standing up “She’s five” Irish said
“Wow! Almost my age. I’m six and she’s five, hehe” Arin laughed. “Yeah”
“Can I carry her?” Arin said. “Yes sure.”
“Thank you” she said before carrying up the dog and played with her for some time while Irish arranged her room for the night.
“I’m going to bed now, Come read me a night story and please I’ll take Dolly with me? If you don’t mind” Arin said carrying Dolly up.
“Ofcourse” Irish stood up and they both walked into Arin’s room.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Arin climbed her bed with Dolly beside her while Irish sat down and read her a brief short story about the moon.
Soon, Dolly falled asleep in Arin’s arm.
“Good Night, Irish” Arin said and sleep filled her eyes.
“Good Night” Irish said and covered her with blankets.
She attempted to peck her but the last rule reads *Don’t peck me no matter what* She draw back.
Arin smiled. “You can peck me”
“Huh? Oh ok” Irish said.
Then pecked her forehead and muttered good night to her.
From the door, Ethan stood and watched them. The happiness in his heart was undescribable. Arin had never allowed her Nanny’s to peck her but she just did.
To Irish… On her first day!
Irish stood up after ensuring Arin was asleep. She made to walk to her own room through the mini door when she saw Ethan.
“I’m guessing she’s asleep” Ethan asked. “Yes” Irish nodded.
Ethan made to walk to Arin and peck her goodnight but draw back and cleared his throat. Irish stared at the bed and without being told she knew it was because of her dog.
“I’m sorry about Dolly. Arin insisted on sleeping with her. I’ll take her out now” Irish said. “No. Is okay, I’ll just leave. Goodnight” He turned and disappeared out of the room.
Irish hold her self not to laugh. “he was scared of Dolly!”

Irish walked to her own room tiredly and laid on the bed to sleep when he phone rang. It was her mother.
She picked it up.
“Hello mother. I’m sorry I didn’t call today, I was so b ”
“Is okay Irish! I’ve a great news for you” Her mother said. “Okay, what?”
“Someone had promised to take care of your brother’s education as well as the money your father still owe the jewelry company” her mother said.
“What!
