Despite my best efforts over the next few days Miss Gomez keeps to herself, she's polite but the only people that she'll ask about are the masters. I think that's the only reason she even talks to me at all, which has Mr. Von Don annoyed with me but what else can I do?

My phone starts ringing while I'm cleaning the lounge, it's my sister. "Hey sis, what's up?"

Sarah squeals through the line, I hold it back for a moment until she quiets, "I'm engaged! We're getting married next month. Please tell me you can be there for a weekend?" She begs.

"Congratulations!" I start with, "I must speak with my bosses but I'm pretty sure I can take the weekend off!" I exclaim.

"Fabulous, next important question. Will you be my maid of honor?"

"Of course! It would be my honor." I giggle.

"That was so bad. Are you going to ask who I'm marrying?" She giggles.

"Omg, I'm sorry I assumed you were still seeing David."

"He broke up with me a few weeks ago."

"Oh-."

"No, it's great, while I was out drinking away my broken heart, this man asks me to dance. Anyway his name is Chaddick, he completely swept me off my feet. He's in Hollywood, not an actor, he's in the sound department." She explains.

"Oh interesting." I continue wiping surfaces clean for the guests that will be arriving soon. This time it's Henry's family, I'll be introduced as his girlfriend, we're having Mr. Von Don serve. He is livid to have to do my job, even if it's just for the weekend. I tune back into Sarah.

"He's really an amazing guy, I'm sure you'll love him."

"I'm sure I will too. I'll text you in the morning with an answer, send the details. Love you!"

I hang up and start vacuuming, after this I'm cleaning the guest room that his parents will be staying in. Then I get ready to greet his family, I think I'm in the perfect outfit. It's a modest but classy light pink dress with a matching blazer. I find it very hard to clean in without getting it dirty.

"Are you ready dear?"

"Just let me put my cart away. Do I look okay?" I've actually put lipstick and a bit of mascara on tonight, my hair is long and straight.

"Stunning." He kisses my cheek. Hand in hand we go outside to greet his large family. Several staff wait with us to take the luggage.

His family lands in their private jet, his mother steps out first looking stunning herself in a lavender suit with her steel gray hair, cut into a sharp bob.

"Really Henry must you keep such odd hours, the children are ready for bed." She complains. I blink surprised, when she notices me besides Henry she pales. "Oh where are my manners. I'm Daphine Oclaire, this is Richard Oclaire."

Henry's dad steps forward to shake my hand, besides the more gray than brown Henry looks like a younger version of his dad. It's obvious who is brother is they look exactly alike.

Richard takes over introductions, "This is my eldest son Liam and his wife Becky. Then my youngest Claudia and her husband Duke. You'll figure out the grand kids later I'm sure, there are six of them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Wrenly Mooney." I smile to them all, "Why don't we show you to your rooms then we can have cocktails in the pool house before dinner."

Each of the siblings and their families get a large cabin, and his parents get the best guest suite in the main house.

"You certainly have changed things since you and your friends bought me out." Richard says, I had noticed he was studying each room we went into.

"We just made the house more comfortable for us." Henry says.

"Where are the rest of them?" Daphine asks.

"Around, just giving us some privacy for now. They'll meet up with us at the pool house for drinks." I say.

Daphine pulls me aside, "How are you getting along dear? There are so many men here."

I give her a modest smile, "Oh just fine, they all leave me be."

"Very good,"

I can tell she doesn't believe me. Henry excuses us so I can go change my outfit. He helps me out of my modest dress and into a flirty sparkly long sleeve cocktail dress, and it's light pink again. I give Henry a spin, he chuckles and pulls me into his arms kissing me deeply.
