The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Sherlyn said, “My sister’s name is—”

Francine suddenly caught a whiff of the excessive perfume on Sherlyn’s person and retched. When one of the maids saw that, she pushed Sherlyn out of the way and said, “Move aside! Our young miss doesn’t have the time to talk to you right now!”

“Young miss, are you okay?”

Francine had retched to the point of collapse, and she required the help of the maids before going in.

Sherlyn was incredibly annoyed that she was pushed aside before even getting her questions answered. Unfortunately, she did not dare to mess with whoever lived there.

The Holdens’ driver lowered the window and gave her a word of advice. “Be on your way now. You shouldn’t be poking your nose around a place like this.”

Sherlyn turned her head and asked, “Are you the driver of this family? Could you tell me who’s staying here?”

The driver replied cautiously, “I can’t disclose that information to you, but I heard that the family just recently recruited a new group of maids. Your sister might be one of them.”

‘Is Corinne here to be a maid?’ Sherlyn thought to herself. ‘Isn’t she an intern at Alpha Enterprises?’

Sherlyn wanted to ask further, but the driver had already driven the car into the garage. The entire situation was getting more confusing with each passing thought, so she called an old classmate who worked in Alpha Enterprises to find out what was up with Corinne. Through that conversation, she learned that Corinne had been fired.

‘Fired? Is that why Corinne is working as a maid in this household? All that talk about finding a house to rent was a lie! She just had to move here because she has to work twenty-four hours a day as a maid! That’s all she’s capable of, and that expensive suit jacket she wore home was probably stolen from the owner!’

Sherlyn was absolutely elated when she connected the dots, and she finally felt ready to go back home and inform her father of her discovery.

At the Holden manor’s second floor, Corinne leaned lazily by the floor-to-ceiling window and smirked as she watched Sherlyn leave with a pompous gait.

…

At noon the next day came, a graceful old lady was helped out of an extended Humvee and into the house. When Francine saw the old woman, she ran toward her and said, “Grandma! You’re here!”

“I had someone book the earliest flight today after I received your call.” Pamela Holden, grandmother to Francine and Jeremy, appeared to be heartbroken when she looked at her granddaughter. “Francine! It’s been a while since I last saw you, but you seemed to have lost a lot of weight.”

Francine said lamentably, “Grandma, Jeremy’s new wife tried to assert her dominance in the house with me right after the marriage. I ended up vomiting so badly and was hospitalized after what she did…”
