You Of All People

"Eh? Oh we ran out of films" said Violet as she reluctantly looked inside the cartridge.

"We'll buy more later. Here I finished writing down the dates. Now post it up" said King.

"Ok"

*Ding dong

"Who is that?" asked Violet curiously.

"I'll go answer the intercom. You go do your own thing" hurriedly said and sneaked out. Occasionally looking back to see if she's a little bit suspicious.

He arrived in front of the intercom, pressed the button then instructed, "Enter. Be quiet. Door. Make it quick"

King went outside and carefully closed the door behind him. He waited for 5 minutes then he saw the silhouette of a car from the distance. The car stopped in front of him. A man dressed in a neat black suit alighted. He went to open the door at the backseat to retrieve something then marched towards King.

"Boss here are the things you requested" the man handed King five boxes in different colors and cute ribbons enclosing it.

"Good work Todd. Doubled Salary. Collect it at Finance Dept" King curtly remarked as he nod his head.

"Is there anything else I could help you with Boss?" Todd asked to test the waters.

"None. Dismissed" commanded King.

Todd bowed down and remained that way until King disappeared. Only then did he straightened his back and laughed quietly as he went back to the car.

'It's your own fault Sam for passing your task to me. If he knew, he'll definitely be jealous. Doubled Salary just from getting what the Boss wants. Woohoo. But those things he asked for hmmmmm guess we finally have a lady boss? It's too early to say. Let's just observe more. Boss didn't use the door and went to the back? Boss is starting to get weird, not that he was even normal in the first place', were Todd thoughts as he drived out.

Carrying the boxes, King sneakily made his way around the Villa towards the back to avoid Violet. He quietly opened the door then stealthy tiptoed towards the stairs leading to the second floor. He kept on looking at the living room, too nervous about her catching him. When he finally made it to the second floor. He went straight to their bedroom. Arranged the boxes on their bed, placed a card with a letter 'V' written on it then he took the other 2 boxes with him. One big and one small. The small one he stashed in his pocket. The other, he hid in one of the bookshelves just outside his bedroom. He wiped his invisible sweat then went down to the Living Room but he went back and also hid the small box in the shelves. Scared that Violet may find out with the way it bulged in his pocket.

'Now the challenge is, how will I dupe her to go to our room. Hmmmm', King pondered along the way.

"Who was it?" curiously inquired Violet as she posted the remaining photo.

"The gardeners. They must have not been informed of the change of schedule. There wasn't anyone that will let them in since Alfred's on vacation so they have no choice but to ring us up all the way from the main gate.

"I see. Look, it's done! Isn't it wonderful! A little bit lacking with the pictures but we'll fill this wall up someday!" declared Violet full of anticipation of the future.
