Chapter 39 - 39: Meeting Daniella\'s ex

She felt an indescribable tense over her body, she masked her anxiousness with a cold face, staring at the Elder man straight.

"Your name is Daniella Chen, right?" Daniella nodded, hearing his cold voice reminded her of her ex-boyfriend father, though it was not because he was cold as the elder Su, James\' father especially his mother treated her as their own.

"Yes,"

"Why did you take this job?"

(Because your grandson blackmailed me?) She wanted to say those words but her lips said, "Because Kierry helped me once. I am returning the favor."

The elder man rose an eyebrow, staring at the woman that has the face of a doll, still couldn\'t believe that a woman with a beauty like her exist.

His jaw suddenly gnashed with anger. Kierry was his late first grandson\'s wife. He had never liked her, even after she died.

"Do you have experience with kids?"

Daniella shook her head, she might have stayed in the orphanage for two years but, she was never close with the other kids.

"How are you going to take care of my Selena,"

Daniella met the elder Su\'s eyes. With confidence, she said, "I have a degree in law and medical fields. I had a book published at the age of eighteen about the Angel of Death, I am a black belter in karate, so you can rest assure that Selena will be safe. Study says that spoiled kids like her are looking for attention and for a year, I am going to give it to her." She paused and looked at Selena looking at her with her lips parting in surprise.

"But I am not doing this for her. I am doing this because Kierry helped me."

After saying that, Daniella sighed, remembering Kierry somehow pained her.

Out of nowhere, Evan\'s voice interrupted their conversation.

"Ms. Chen, I am glad you are here. Can we talk about your contract?"

The voice Daniella didn\'t hear for days, Evan\'s eyes she didn\'t see for some time, seeing him suddenly lifted her pissed mood.

Daniella casually nodded and relaxed her back on the couch.

"You\'re fired!" Selena suddenly yelled, sitting next to her great grandmother.

"You can\'t fire me," Daniella coldly replied to Selena.

Selena was stunned, her hands held tightly to her grandma\'s arm.

"Uncle Evan fire her," she said with a broken voice, tears started to shimmer in her eyes.

"Maybe we can talk about this Selena," Evan said impatiently trying to be in the middle of Daniella and Selena.

Without replying, Selena held her breath once again.

The elders started panicking, while Evan brushed a hand over his face.

"Selena, breathe! What are you doing?" Evan\'s Grandmother exclaimed. Trying to sooth Selena by caressing her back.

The girl stubbornly shook her head, refusing to breathe.

"Evan!" the elder man shouted at Evan.

"Selena, breath! you can\'t use this to control us," Evan got up. His voice was low as he speaks, suppressing his anger.

Still, Selena shook her head.

30 seconds has passed, Selena covered her nose and mouth with her hands.

Meanwhile, Daniella dumbfoundedly stared at Selena, wondering why she\'s acting like this.

Daniella got up, approaching Selena with a frown on her face.

She squatted on the floor, both hands lay on Selena\'s lap.

"Why are you holding your breathe" her voice was full of confusion, head tilting as she tried to read Selena\'s mind.

Seeing the determination on Selena\'s eyes, Daniella blew out a sigh.

"Do you know that when people die, they go to hell. So, Selena, if you don\'t want to have a tea party with Hitler and Stalin in hell, I suggest you breathe," Daniella said those words casually, her mind was having a hard time reading Selena\'s eyes.

Daniella could see a slight fear sparkling in Selena\'s eyes, with victory, she smiled.

But still, Selena is not breathing.

Daniella sighed, she took her phone out of her Jeans and dialed a number.

When Daniella\'s call was answered, Kirby\'s voice erupted from the speaker.

Daniella turned the volume up, letting Selena hear it.

"Kirby, remember the concert you are planning to go with Selena?"

"Yes?" there was a confusion in Kirby\'s voice as he answered Daniella\'s question over the phone.

"Well, she\'s going to die soon so can I have the ticket?"

Daniella smiled, Selena snatched the phone from her and with her lips hardly catching her breath, Selena called out Kirby\'s name.

"Kirby. Did you really save me a ticket?" Selena excitedly said.

"Yes."

"What concert is it?" when Kirby told her about the concern, Selena could not help but squeal.

Selena ended the call, she hastily got up and jumped around like a kangaroo.

"Oh my god! I am going to find a dress!" saying that happily, Selena left the room running.

The elders were astonished as they watched their great-granddaughter disappear in the living room.

Daniella got up, she walked and stopped next to Evan. She tiptoed to reach his ear and then whispered, "Can you ask Kirby to buy the tickets?"

"what? Isn\'t it Kirby?"

Daniella discreetly shook her head, "No, it was Robert. So, could you ask Kirby to accompany Selena this weekend?"

With disbelief, Evan turned to Daniella.

His eyes dropped on her ears; a smile curved on his lips as he stared at her ears.

"They look nice on you," and his hand lifted to touch it.

Daniella bit her lips, feeling a bit embarrassed by the elder\'s eyes lurking at them with confusion.

Then the main door creaked open, and Matthew came with a cigarette on his hand.

"Good Morning!" he cheerfully said. A bright smile was on his lips, eyes closed as he exhaled the homey scent of the villa.

When Matthew opened his eyes, he found a woman standing next to his cousin Evan, the woman was facing his cousin, enabling him from seeing her face.

Remembering his promise to his niece, Matthew widened his smile and walked towards his cousin Evan to introduce himself to Selena\'s new babysitter.

"Hi, you must be Selena\'s new sitter. I am Matthew Su, and you are?" the woman was still facing Evan, she didn\'t bother to look even though he had his hand extended to introduce himself.

His head tilted, wondering if Evan told her something about him.

He was standing behind her, curiosity filled his mind, wanting to see her face.

So, he moved on her side to look at her face but, the woman jerked her head away, avoiding to meet his eyes.

He frowned, curious why she was avoiding her.

He quickly jumped to the other side but, the woman turned her head to another side.

Matthew looked at Evan, he had the same expression as him.

Then his cousin Evan spoke.

"Daniella, do you know Matthew?"

Hearing a familiar name, Matthew\'s heart thumped. His hand lay on the woman\'s shoulder and swiftly turned her body around to face him.

Seeing the familiar face, those round eyes that were hunting him in his dream, the dimples on her cheeks, and her unique irises, Matthew gulped, lips parted as the shock jolted his mind.

"Ella?" He murmured.

"Do you know her?" Evan asked.

Mathew, with his eyes swelling with surprise, nodded.

"Yes, that woman broke my heart and even took my rice cooker with her."
