Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 233

The spy had started to work on the mission given to her. When Alexis saw Mariam for the first time she couldn’t help but observe the girl. even though Mariam was in her late thirties, she was of a built that someone would hardly notice. Mariam was good at blending in with people and not making anyone notice her.

Now that she was keeping an eye on Julia and her family was done, Alexis came to the next task which was organising the parties.

She huffed and close the file, slammed it on her table and leaned back into the chair.

“What to do..” she muttered with a sigh. When it came to throwing parties and stuff Alexis was not as good at it as she might have initially thought.

Picking up her when she called Isabelle. She could only hope that Isabel would be able to provide a helpful solution.

“Hello?”

“Hi,” Alexis replied immediately. “Are you busy right now?”

“No..no,” she heard some shuffling on the other side. “I was just looking at designs for the kitchen. You know when you get old do remember to keep a hobby with you otherwise all you will ever do is remodel your house or paint it again and again.”

Alexis laughed a little at that. “Thank you for the advice. I would remember that. Anyway, I wanted to ask you about the party I am supposed to throw for the ladies.”

“Ah, yes.” A sigh came from Isabelle’s side, “I apologize for not telling about it you sooner.”

“You should have,” Alexis commented immediately feeling her frustration come out. if she had known about it sooner Julia won’t have had so much to talk about and the people that she had never met want won’t expect so much from her. “Not only I did not have any idea about it but those people have been expecting it for a very long time and I still had no idea about what to do.”

“I know child..”

“No, you do not. I cannot just randomly throw a party out of the blue without any meaning. All of them would understand that I have just done this for the sake of doing it.” She clicked her tongue in annoyance and leaned back in her chair. “They are going to hate me, Isabelle.”

“Ah..” now she understood where Alexis’s anger was coming from. It was the fear that everyone had except those who believe in a dictatorship. She sighed and smiled, it somehow relieved her to know that Alexis was looking forward to their opinions.

“Child, I have been having a few health problems because of which I forgot to tell you about the party you supposed to through and I apologize for it. Don’t worry, in the short while that I have gotten to know you I know for sure that you’re going to figure out something amazing to do with it.”

This regarding everything that Isabelle said Alexis focus on one thing. “What health problems?”

Isabelle laughed softly, “nothing of major concern darling. It’s just the problems that come with old age. Apparently since Gabrielle and I have been touring places and eating lots of food I have developed diabetes and because of which I have to get insulin and control my diet which is proven to be difficult since we still going to different places and eat a lot.”

“Isabelle,” Alexis chided, “you are supposed to take care of yourself. You know better.”

“Uh-huh, look at who is chiding me, wait a sec hon,” Isabelle talked to someone else over the phone as Alexis was told to wait and she once again opened the file in front of her which seemed to be hideous now.

“Honey, I am needed somewhere right now and I’ve had to go. I’m sure going to figure it out. Best of luck, bye!”

“But wai-”

She hung up already.

“Aish..” Alexis can’t help but just sigh. That was just one thing that she could do. “That was of no use.” She muttered as she kept her phone down. She had noticed it often in life, at times no one was of any use. Sometimes they genuinely couldn’t and the other, they chose not to.

“Madam?” Agatha came in and with a trolly that contained coffee and a few snacks. “I brought you a few refreshments. Would you like to have iced tea or coffee?”

“Iced tea.” It refreshed her.

Agatha nodded and poured her some.

Alexis kept on fiddling with her chair and swung it left and right. “So what extent does your knowledge go to?”

Agatha looks up a bit thinking about the answer and then said, “just like there is a ranking here and no one can refuse a question asked by the Donna, there is also a ranking within servants and given that I am your’s, people genuinely answer to what I have to say.” She placed the glass in front of Alexis who immediately to get and slurped on the straw. “What is it that you want to know?”

“Everything. Everything that the ladies think about me no matter their ranking.”

“Hm,” Agatha smiled a bit and answered alright then, “the ladies take you to be as someone mysterious.”

“Mysterious?” Alexis found it weird. “I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting that.”

Agatha giggled, “but that is the truth. the ladies take you to be as a symbol of power because you were working outside and you even have a restaurant, I think that if you make it happen that women could work outside the family you would be greatly appreciated.”

“Huh..” Alexis nodded. “That seems easy.”

“But it isn’t,” Agatha warned. “That is something that may look easy to you but on the inside, it would be a war. You would have to start it and also provide with the resources.”

“What more?”

“you haven’t appeared in front of them since your marriage and it does leave a little bit of uncertainty amongst them. As you have never really met anyone outside the family that is Madam Nikita and Madam Isabelle. I think you should start doing it now, little by little.”

“Hmmm,” Alexis hummed and swung in her chair.

Her eyes fell on her to-do list and two items that were on number 2 and number 3 caught her attention.

“I think,” she smiled and placed the glass d

own. “I have figured out what to do.”
