Chapter 13
Gisele woke up the next morning, feeling extremely happy. That was strange because as mentioned earlier, she was definitely not a morning person.
She looked at the time, and saw it was 6.30 a.m. Wow, she never got up this early. But then, she remembered her dreams and blushed; it was definitely R-rated material.
She jumped down from the bed and took a quick shower making sure to wash her thick red hair thoroughly.
She came out felling invigorated and light.
Then she put on an outfit she had never imagined to wear; jean cutoffs and a top with Mickey Mouse on it and paired the ensemble with a pair of Vans.
She put on mascara and eyeliner and proceeded to braid her thick red hair on one side. She sprayed the French perfume, Gaultier, that Lizzie had given her for her birthday.
She went to Callie’s room and saw that she was still sleeping. She didn’t have school that day, so Gisele let her sleep.
Gisele went downstairs and saw Mrs. Hale’s replacement for the day, Edith.

“Hey”, Gisele greeted cheerfully with a small smile on her lips.
The woman looked at her with a frosty glare that left Gisele confused and said even more coldly, “Hello, Gisele”, Edith said, emphasizing Gisele’s name as to imply that Gisele was no better than her.
Gisele frowned but asked cheerfully, “Did Sla- I mean Mr. Hendrick go to the office?”
“No. And stay away from Slate if not you won’t realize what’s happening to you”, Edith said with a threat in her voice.
“I don’t understand you”, Gisele said.
“Look at you, the underdog trying to ensnare the biggest bone. Slate and Ella belong together and you won’t do anything to stop it, sneaky b****”
Gisele didn’t answer just kept a tight rein on her temper. At these times, her grandmama’s Irish temper threatened to overtake her but she always tried to restrict it.

Gisele went upstairs without answering Edith which was no doubt what she wanted. She went to Slate’s office and knocked and Slate answered in his deep voice for her to, “Come in”.
She went in and smiled brightly then said, “Good morning Slate”
He looked at her for a few moments and she snapped her fingers in front of his face and said, “Hello? Slate”
He surprised her by standing up abruptly and giving her a hard but pa**ionate kiss. “That’s how you’ll greet me each morning. By a kiss, okay”, he asked/ordered.
Gisele’s nerves were frazzled so she nodded almost instantly.
After composing herself, she asked, “Today Callie doesn’t have school and I was wondering if I could take her out? To visit my friend? I haven’t seen her in a long time, so I…” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, take her. But Suresh (the driver) will be coming with you”

“Yeah boss. Bye”
Slate nodded and off she went.
Gisele went to Callie’s room and woke her up gently. “Callie, do you want to see the kind witch of Oz”, she asked/whispered.
As soon as Callie heard the ‘witch of Oz’, she was hooked. She jumped and said, “Yes, yes
Gisele smiled at her and said, “Then come on and take your bath”
Callie rushed excitedly to the bathroom and called out, “Gigi, harry up or the kind wish of Oz is gonna go”
Gisele smiled at the kid’s enthusiasm and said, “Comin’, honey”
