The doorbell rang!!!! She quickly turned round to go through the house to go and answer the door, almost tripping over the dog in the process, hoping it was Nicholas although thinking to herself “why would he ring the bell?” he has the keys to the house, she opened the door preparing to start up a heated argument with Nicholas on leaving the house and not letting her know, to her utter disappointment as she opened the door it was Philomena the cleaner!!! “Happy New year everyone” she shrieked in her annoying and weird accent, that always grated on her, making a mental note to herself about getting rid of Philomena this year, one of her new year resolutions, she promised to execute even if it took till April. “Happy New Year to you too Philomena” she replied.... “Is Mr Nick still in bed?” she asked, “no he has gone out”, “but his car is still outside” Philomena insisted, by this point she was beginning to lose her cool thinking to herself ‘this woman knows our ins and outs way too much, she has become too comfortable and too familiar, she, MUST go’.... “I shall start with your bedroom then Ma’am, I believe today I need to strip the bed and put new sheets and pillowcases, start the new year with fresh sheets and nice pillowcases”... Philomena said breaking her trail of thoughts.... “Yes yes go ahead” she replied with a casual wave of her hand, without even thinking and completely forgetting about the letter she had hidden inside the pillowcase.
