Chapter 686 - Her mother....

The girl heaved a sigh of relief and soon began to pick up the bags from the porch and then started walking inside her home. The girl's home was a 25 years old building, built by her father soon after he got married to Sarah's mother. Though the house was not huge and it looked a bit old, but still it was beautifully managed by Sarah's mother 'Laila'. This house was the best memory Laila had of her husband and she would spend much time looking after it, maintaining the garden and keeping it well cleaned and decorated.

Soon they both stepped inside the cosy looking living room, which was decorated with wooden furniture and several hand painted, artistic statues. It was very easy to figure out looking at the painted walls and textures on it, that the house had been thoughtfully designed by somebody very creative. Laila's room was just next to the living room, while the kitchen was in the far end corner of the living room, overlooking the striking flower laden, front garden.

The back garden of the house had a tiny vegetable garden in it, from where the fresh vegetables were plucked and cooked by the two of them. Sarah's room was upstairs across the living room and soon she was already climbing the stairs, carrying along the heavy bags with her hands.

"Mom you leave the bags right there. Do not exert yourself." Sarah signalled her mother to keep the bags at the edge of the stairs owing to her high blood pressure and irregular pulse rate she was experiencing from quite a few months. The doctor had advised her to soon leave her job and lead a retired and relaxed life. But Laila was still continuing her job as she wanted to earn more for her daughter.

Since her mother's health condition deteriorated, this had made Sarah to apply for random jobs, which leaded her to start working for Evlin.

The girl ran stairs towards another beautifully decorated, small living room and then straight away entered her room keeping down the bags. The girl's room was small yet very cutely decorated. There was a large book shelf in one corner, which had several books on it that she had been collecting since childhood. Her study table was situated just next to the shelf, on which she preferred studying late at nights.

Just opposite to the study table was her single mattress wooden bed, besides which was a tiny table having several family photos, mainly with her father. The room was decorated with several colorful textures and paintings which were drawn by her mother herself. Her mother was extremely artistic, fashionable and creative in contrast to her daughter. Sarah was never into fashion or creativity but was always a nerdy, bookworm and silent child, just like her father.

After another fifteen minutes did the girl finally succeed to bring all the bags in her room and she instantly lied down flat on the bed, taking deep breaths. "This is so tiring." She looked up at the ceiling blankly, not wanting to get up at all and dress for the party. "Oh god! I do not want to go to the party. Do I look like somebody who likes to dress up and go for parties?? Just where have I gotten myself into!" the girl spoke sadly and suddenly got up hearing a knock on her door.

Her mother was standing at the edge of the room holding a glass of fresh orange juice in her hand. She had just plucked the oranges from her backyard and had prepared the juice knowing that the girl must be really tired and thirsty after her first day of work. "Tired, my sweetie??" she smiled walking inside the room, looking at her daughter with sad eyes.

"No mother not at all." The girl quickly straightened up her back holding the juice glass in her hand. In just a few seconds the girl had gulped down the entire glass in just one sip!

Her mother smiled patting her daughter's head. "Leave the job if it does not make you joyful or if you feel burdened."

"No mom. I am contented. But I will take time to adjust to the new atmosphere. You know I am not into clothes and makeup, but my boss wants me to look nice." She rolled her eyes thinking of Evlin. Of course she did not tell her mother, how she will be hiding her boss's bad habits from his mother and she will be paid triple the amount for it. She also refrained from telling how she had already seen her boss n.a.k.e.d, twice in just one day.

If Sarah's mother gets to know that Evlin is this type of man, she will immediately tell her to leave the job.

"But that is really sweet of your boss to help you buy new clothes. Even though it is uncanny, but nobody makes these many efforts. Maybe he knows how much you require this job or he is genuinely a nice man. Otherwise why would he do all the efforts to make you look better? He could have easily chosen somebody else." The lady smiled admiring Evlin already.

Sarah listened to her mother's words carefully. She had not thought about it before. Why did the man make so many efforts for her? He could have sent any employee to mall with her to shop or he could have easily paid an entire year's amount to her and tell her to get lost. "Hmm... you are right mother. He is indeed sweet. He even told me to work hard on my book side by side and if I wrote a really nice book he will recommend my name to the publication houses. And owing to his standard, nobody would refuse him."

"Oh wow! What a nice man. Sweetie, you really should work hard for this man. He is a really lovely man and is doing so many efforts for you." The lady smiled contentedly that the girl was working under such a kind man.
