A NIGHT WITH HIM Episode 52 by Azeemah Salami

” “Happy birthday” ” Wishes filled the whole house as Ivory and Harold stepped into the living room.
The whole workers stood there with different wrapped gifts in their hands.
Nola already made cake and it was sitting prettily on the table..

Harold carried her in his arms as they sang for her.
She was still in her pajamas,she only brushed before coming downstairs with Harold who had been the first person to wish her happy birthday.
He had given her a tiny and expensive necklace as a gift though he still had more gifts for her.
Irene could see the beautiful necklace, laying cutely on ivory’s neck and she knew Harold had given it to her.
She hoped ivory would like the dress she made for her.
They finished singing and wished her Happy birthday once more, Harold dropped her gently on her feet to blow off the lit candles on her cake.
She did and everyone clapped happily.
“I’m nine now” She giggled, cutting her cake and eating it.
“Thanks everyone, i love you all” Ivory said with a mouthful of strawberry cake.
Whipped cream was smeared on her cheeks and Harold helped her wipe it off with a smile.

Everyone dropped their gifts for her and she thanked them one after the other.
They all left to go back to work after Harold promised everyone they’re gonna have a nice treat today.
They were all happy, knowing how fun today’s gonna be.
Irene and Nola were the last people to drop their gifts.
“Damien said i should give you this and Mum said i should give you this” Irene said, handing two wrapped gifts to Ivory who smiled and told her to thank them.
“And this is mine” Irene said, stretching a large box to Ivory, it wasn’t wrapped.
“Happy birthday once again” Irene pecked her cheeks and ivory smiled Happily.
Ivory opened Nola’s gift first and it was a stunning tiara that Ivory wore on her hair immediately.
She squealed as she hugged Nola.
“Thanks Nola, i love it” ivory grinned.
“I’m glad you do” Nola smiled.

“I’m

gonna open yours next” Ivory said as she said down, dragging Irene’s gift to her tiny legs.
Harold could see how hopeful Irene looked.
She was obviously hoping Ivory would like the gift and he couldn’t wait to see what was in there himself.

They
watched Ivory as she opened the box and there laid a stunning purple dress with crystals around the neckline, it’s a knee length gown, it was plain down to the waist and was gathered from the waist down to the knee, the bottom was covered with precious pearls.
It looked just like a little princess dress.
It was so elegant and eye catching that they all gasped.
Ivory ran into Irene’s arm, deeply astonished by the gift.
She has beautiful dresses but this dress Irene had given her surpassed them all.
It’s so simple yet with a touch of royalty which made Ivory feel so special.
“I’m glad you like it” Irene smiled, relieved.
Harold and Nola also commented on how beautiful the dress is.
“Happy birthday” Unfamiliar voices said and they all turned to the door.
Irene looked confused cause she has never seen them before.
A beautiful teenager and a stunning woman whose outfit screamed ‘wealth’ .
Ivory jumped up with a scream and ran to them happily.
“That’s Allysia and my mother” Harold said to Irene.
“Oh..my!” She gasped.
How couldn’t she have known?Harold had said it on the plane that they might appear today and they did.
Allysia looked more beautiful than Nola always said.
She was in a jumpsuit,red heels and leopard coat,with huge diamond earrings and a silver necklace,her hair was dyed red and packed into a tight ponytail which accentuated her face.
Bright green eyes,pointed nose and thin lips which she had obviously applied red lip gloss on.
She looked like a model,a striking model who can appear in front of a magazine without question.
“V rules” Ally teased ivory and laughed.
Irene noticed she has a nice voice too.
“I thought you both weren’t gonna come, I’ll be so pissed” Ivory said in Mrs Marshall’s arm.
“Oh..my, you’ve added so much weight,what has Nola been feeding you with” Mrs Marshall asked as she gently placed Ivory back to her feet.

Allysia
was reuniting with her Mum, hugging her and kissing her all over the face, they both giggled, obviously happy to see each other.

Irene
could boldly say Harold got his striking looks from his mum.
She looks far younger than her age and would easily pass for Harold’s sister.
She didn’t look old enough to have a son his age,she still had a trim figure, Harold once told her she plays golf and tennis with his father on weekends,she was athletic and in good shape.
She was wearing a black channel cocktail dress with small silver earrings. She has warm blue eyes,her straight blonde hair was pulled back and there was this gracefulness hovered around her, just with a look,one would know she’s immensely rich!
“You guys should chat outside with others” Mrs Marshall told the four bodyguards standing behind her ,they looked so huge and mean than Harold’s bodyguards.
They bowed and left.

Mrs Marshall stretched out her arms and Harold knew what that means.
He pulled his mum into a hug with a broad smile.
“Billionaire Harold Marshall” She teased and they both laughed.
Allysia was still with her mum and Harold was with his too,with Ivory tagging along.

Irene stood alone nervously,she likes them and hope they’ll like her in return and she has been wanting to meet Allysia.
Harold kissed his Mum on the cheeks and she did the same.
Allysia jumped on Harold’s back after his embrace with his Mum was over.
They both fell on the couch, laughing as they teased eachother.
Nola and Mrs Marshall hugged each other too and finally the greetings was over.

Mrs Marshall and Allysia stared at Irene.
They knew who she was after the scandal with Carrle at the Ice cream parlor.
Allysia was staring hard at her and Irene knew immediately that the girl doesn’t like her, Mrs Marshall’s face was expressionless.

“Meet Irene, she’s ivory’s nanny and..”
“Blah blah blah” Allysia rolled her eyes.
“That was rude” Harold scolded sternly.
“I’m sorry brother” Allysia said, giving Irene a scornful look.
Mrs Marshall hadn’t cast her any bad looks but the looks she was giving her wasn’t warm either.
Irene felt like crying.

“Irene is a very good person,i like her so much” Ivory said.
“Yes she is” Nola agreed.
“She’s a great friend of mine” Harold said.
“That’s what you say until she turns out to be another monster again” Allysia said.
She started hating on Ivory nannies cause they are either here to seduce Harold or end up treating Ivory badly and this lady here didn’t look different, though she have to admit Irene’s very beautiful and she looks calm too but looks can be damn deceiving! The past nannies had looked calmer but they ended up doing something worst.
“I already have your rooms cleaned properly” Harold said to his mum and Allysia.
“You knew we’ll be coming?” Mrs Marshall asked.
“Of course,you both can’t miss Ivory’s birthday for anything” Harold said,not happy with the way Irene was treated.
She had been looking forward to meeting them and they ended up doing this to her.

“Wow!” Allysia screamed, startling everyone.
She lifted the dress Irene had gifted Ivory and Mrs Marshall was wowed too.
“This is beautiful” Mrs Marshall mouthed.
“Brother gave this to you?” Allysia asked, admiring the dress greatly.
“No” ivory giggled.
“Irene did” She added.
“Ohh…it must have cost a fortune,i bet she used all of her savings…” Allysia said. “Just to impress Harold” She added inwardly.
Women like doing things for Ivory just to impress Harold and she’s not surprised Irene is in that league.

“No” Ivory laughed this time.
“Irene made the dress, she’s a fashion designer” Ivory added surprising Mrs Marshall and Allysia further.
They both knew Irene is s fashion designer but they never knew she was this good.

“Well…” Allysia dropped the dress like she hadn’t admired it in the first place.
“We will retreat to our rooms” Mrs Marshall said.
“Come for your gift later” Allysia winked at Ivory who nodded and smiled.
They left for their rooms and Nola returned to the kitchen to start cooking.
“I’m so sorry Irene” Harold said.
“It’s fine” Irene said, trying to smile.
“I should go dress Ivory up” She said as she took ivory’s hand.

Harold sighed, seeing how unhappy Irene looked.

???

Ivory stepped out after getting dressed in the purple gown Irene gifted her which fitted her so perfectly.
She had asked if Irene took her measurements while she was asleep and Irene said she had used one of her dress for measurement.
Everyone admired the dress on Ivory and they all commented.

On her neatly packed hair was the tiara Nola had gifted her,she wore pretty white shoes and tiny silver earrings with the necklace Harold had given her.
She looked so beautiful like a real princess.
Harold was also dressed up nicely.
They both said goodbye to everyone.

Harold had said they’ll be going to Paris first and Ivory was so excited.
They left and the whole house was thrown into full celebration mood.
Everyone was happy, except Irene who slowly walked back to her workshop after bidding Harold and Ivory bye.

??A NIGHT WITH HIM??

Harold and ivory returned at night and Ivory was so exhausted that Irene had to put her in bed immediately.

She walked out of ivory’s room and gently closed the door behind her.
She’s damn hungry, she needs to go join others in the dining room for dinner.
They are eating already.
She had had her lunch in her workshop,not feeling comfortable enough to eat with Ally and Mrs Marshall without Harold.
Her bodyguards stood by the door of the dining room while she walked in.
They’ve all started eating, except Harold who was obviously waiting for her.
She was touched and she felt her heart reach out to him more.
She didn’t notice Ally and Mrs Marshall’s gaze on her.
They were wondering what she was doing in Harold’s private dining room.

“Thanks for waiting” Irene said to Harold before sitting beside him.
“What!” Mrs Marshall exclaimed startling everyone.
“What do you want?” Ally asked Irene who looked confused.
“Irene dines with us” Mrs Nola said.
“Who gave that rule?” Allysia asked, obviously annoyed.
“I did” Harold said, urging Irene to start eating but she couldn’t.
She couldn’t even bring herself to dish out the meal.
“This isn’t happening! Harold, you want me to dine with a nanny?” Mrs Marshall asked, looking insulted.
Harold sighed…”And what’s wrong in being a nanny?”
“This isn’t happening!” Mrs Marshall dropped her spoon loudly.
“Brother, It’s highly disrespectful of her to eat on the same table with godmother” Allysia said.
“Why is it disrespectful? She didn’t bring herself here! I personally told her i want her to always dine with me and she always have and Ivory is fine with it” Harold said as gently as he could.
He doesn’t want to yell.

“She needs to get up and leave now, i can’t dine on the same table with her” Mrs Marshall said.
“Yeah” Allysia sighed.

Irene’s hands trembled as she slowly stood up.

“Sit!” Harold said in a tone she has never heard him use before.
He seems pissed.
“Sit” He said in a calmer tone.
“Please” He added to the surprise of Ally and Mrs Marshall.
“I can just go have dinner in the kitchen,I’ll be fine” Irene said.
“No, you’re having your dinner here. Sit” Harold said and she finally did.

After all Harold is her boss not Mrs Marshall or Allysia.

“Mum! This is my house,I’m sorry to say this but you’re not entitled to oppose to how i treat my staff, i employed her and i want her to always dine with me, even Ivory hadn’t complained. I can invite whomever i want to my dining room. It’s my dining room” Harold stated clearly.
Mrs Marshall sighed knowing she can’t get Harold to change his mind,she only fumed as she continued eating.
“But she wasn’t here for lunch! Why did she suddenly wants to dine with us now. Because you’re here?” Allysia rolled her eyes.
“Because she wasn’t comfortable with you guys, you’ve not been nice to her since you arrived and to think she has been looking so forward to meeting you made it worst” Harold said.
“I can’t believe you want us to be nice to her despite what Ivory’s past nannies have done and why was she looking forward to meet us,is there any motive behind it?” Ally asked, facing Irene who had her eyes glued to the table.

She never expected all these…it’s just so much to take in.

“She’s not Ivory’s past nannies Allysia! She’s different” Harold said.
“And she was looking so forward to meet you cause i told her a lot about you. Stop being rude! Eat! And go to bed!” Nola chastised Ally who frowned as she continued eating her food.

“Dish out your meal Irene and eat up” Harold said.
“Ohh..okay” Irene said.
Harold stroke her hair, hoping that’ll make her feel better and it did! she felt incredibly better.

“What!” Ally mouthed while Mrs Marshall just stared.
Nola was not surprised, knowing Irene and Harold felt something for eachother.

“And how was your day with Ivory,she seemed tired but happy” Irene smiled, returning to her old self.
Harold’s hands really does magic.
“It was totally great, we had a nice time, she said she can’t wait to show you the pictures tomorrow” Harold smiled.
“I can’t wait too” Irene smiled.
“And you’re yet to show her her ballet room.. she’ll be so happy” Irene said.
“Yes, and she really likes the dress you made for her. I want you to make more of it for her and let me know the price” Harold said.
Irene nodded, knowing she’ll never charge Harold for anything.
He has done so much for her and she’ll feel ungrateful to charge him for just making dresses for Ivory.
“I…” Irene was saying.

“You must be so tired” Allysia said to Harold, cutting in.
“Not really” Harold said.
“But i won’t mind some of your massages though” Harold added and Allysia laughed.
She looked like a sweet soul when laughing and Irene wondered why she’s being treated this way.
Well…she’s starting to understand it’s probably because of the way Ivory past nannies had been.
But she’s not them.
“Allysia, when i saw you, i thought you were a striking model who’d appear on the cover of a magazine without question,you’re so beautiful” Irene said before she could stop herself and Allysia looked surprised.
She never thought the lady would compliment her beauty despite how mean she has been to her.
She must admit she’s a bit touched but that won’t make her soften towards her.
it might be part of her strategy.
She’s not gonna get her like she got Harold, Ivory and her Mum.
“Of course,I’m beautiful” Ally shrugged.
“There you go again” Harold said and Allysia smiled.
“I can’t wait to get to school on Monday” Allysia said.

She’s the Queen of Ivy Royals and she’s greatly admired.
She’s good at almost all the activities, she’s so intelligent that no one has been able to beat her result so far, she stands out among the female students with her unmatched beauty and the male students always cling to her like magnet. She’s always the center of attraction and everyone strives hard to be her friend.
Harold decided not to mention Damien to her.
He wants her to see for herself though she wouldn’t know who he is.
He’s having doubts about who’s more brilliant between the both of them.
He knows there’s gonna be some real competition between them.

They all finished dinner and everyone returned to their rooms after saying goodnight.

♨️MONDAY♨️

Damien stepped out of the car and bid the driver bye.
He started walking to his class when someone almost knocked him over.
He turned and his eyes locked with a girl’s whose beauty was almost breathtaking..
“Wow” Damien said inwardly.
Her green eyes was captivating and her red hair almost matched with her thin lips.
She’s looking so attractive and he couldn’t remember seeing her face during the time he’s being here.
Well..she might be in another class.
Her school uniform clung to her body like second skin and he must admit every part of her body was attractive.

She rolled her eyes as she walked past him with her head high.

“You should at least apologize” He shouted after her and she showed him a middle finger before walking away.
“Wow!” Damien sighed.

Different characters in Ivy Royals!

“OMG!! Allysia is in school! ” A student announced to the whole class and everyone looked excited except Damien and Marlene who were confused.
They were waiting for their first class to start.
“Who’s Allysia?” Damien asked Marlene.
“I don’t know either” She said and he smiled,glad she didn’t ignore him this time.

He liked staring at her and talking to her even though she doesn’t give him attention.
He really wants to be her friend, but she seems like a very shy and timid person.
So cool and reserved and well mannered, he really liked that about her.
She’s beautiful and pretty intelligent too.
There’s this thing about her that keeps drawing him to her.
There’s something in those blue eyes of hers,he really want to get to know her.
And she always remind him of Irene.
They do pack their hair the same way.

The class fell silent and he turned to the front of the class, thinking a teacher had entered but he was wrong.
It was the girl that had almost knocked him over.

“Allysia!” The students cheered.
“Ohh” Damien sighed and faced his laptop.
Seems she owns the empty seat that has Allysia written on it.
Damien wondered if he’s fated with bumping into people that’ll end up being his classmate.

“She’s beautiful” Marlene said and Damien turned to her, surprised to hear her say that. She barely talks.
“Yes she is” Damien said.

And deep inside him, he knows he’ll choose Marlene’s cool beauty over Allysia’s anytime.

Allysia was beginning to hug her classmates one after the other and she rolled her eyes when she got to Damien.
She sighted Marlene too and sighed.
“I guess we have new students” She said, excluding Marlene and Damien from her ‘hug session’
“I’m prettier than her anyway” Allysia said to herself, deeply disturbed about Marlene’s beauty.

Everyone settled down immediately a teacher walked in and class started.

?

Damien and Allysia raised up their hands when the teacher asked a difficult question.

Allysia who thought she was the only one raising her hand wondered why the teacher was taking long to ask her to answer the question,until she saw Damien’s hand up too.

“What!” She screamed inwardly..

Tbc…
