"She calls me mother?" Helen turns to face the boss.

"So?, are you now her mother?"

"No, boss."

 "Then get your ass on that plane. You are leaving tomorrow by 8 a.m. Noah will give you the details." He turned to face the wall, indicating that he was done talking to her.

Helen left and went home, she can't remember when last she stays in this house, and she can't remember when last she cleaned the house either. It was so disorganized, but she was so tired when she got home she kicked a few things aside to make way for her to get to her bedroom.

And then she threw herself onto her bed and dive into the dreamland. She woke up a few minutes after a horrifying nightmare and then her mind runs to Olivia. She quickly reached out for her phone to call Noah.

"Hey what's the update?"

"Oh... about the Prince?, I need to update you about that tomorrow but unfortunately you are going alone," Noah said without stopping to listen to Helen.

"What Prince?, I'm talking about Olivia. Are you high on something?, Give me the details about Olivia, is she safe?."

"Oh.. Olivia, yeah, her father is willing to pay, so she's going home soon. Don't worry your pretty head thinking about it so much,"

 "Oh… thank goodness" she hang up on Noah, still talking.

Noah looked at his phone but Helen has hang up already. "What is wrong with her?, always hanging up while I'm still talking, huh...

The next day Helen woke up early by the ringtone of her phone, she searched through the hip of clothes on her bed. "Where in hell is this phone?" she muttered, half asleep and searching the bed for her phone.

She start throwing off some of the clothes that are scattered on the bed looking for the phone. "oh there you are. " she jumped at it and picked the call "hello".

"It's me Noah. Where are you?"

"What a bag of garbage?, I know is you, what do you want?". Stretching on the bed and yawning into the phone making Noah to look at his phone as if he can see her through the screen.

"Is morning already? You're supposed to be on the flight by 8 a.m. and why is your house so scattered like this?".

 "What!, are you in my house?"

"Yes, I'm in your sitting room and it looks like a bag of garbage," repeating the same word,  he made a face and kick some things aside to get to the sofa.

"What! " She jumped out of bed, rush to the bathroom and take a quick shower. Put on her clothes and hurried back to meet Noah in the sitting room, but she got knocked down by her bra that was seating on the floor.

"Oh… sorry about that" she kick the bra to hide it from Noah but he saw it already.

"Wow.." was all Noah said as he look at the bra flying across the sitting room instead of heading in the direction that Helen has intended to hide it.

"Sorry,.. I will get that," she chase after the bra and caught it.

"I.. I…I… will just take this inside," she said, too embarrassed to face Noah.

"Hmm, is ok" was all Noah said again, wondering if a woman can live like this.

"Ready?" Noah asks when she came out.

"Oh, yeah, ready,"

"Your hair. " Noah pointed at her uncombed hair.

"Yeah thanks" she rushed back to her room and brush her hair and came out again. "let's go. It's almost 8 a.m."

They drove all the way to the airport without talking to each other because Helen was too embarrassed to talk and Noah didn't force it because he thought maybe she didn't want to talk, but Helen was thinking about the embarrassing moment she has gone through just now because she had no time to take care of herself.

She is always on the move for the boss who didn't even care about her. She has always been stealing valuables for him over the years, but now he has promoted her to the post of kidnapping. "That's great," Helen muttered to herself.

"Take, this is the detail of the contract, everything is in here," Noah hands her an envelope.

"A contract!, What contract?"

"You are to kidnap the Prince."

"A Prince!, what Prince?" Helen couldn't believe this. She wasn't expecting to be a full-time kidnapper!, What is going on?.

She was obviously shaking within because she didn't think it will get to the point of her becoming a kidnapper. "Surely there is no going back," she muttered to herself.

"You're free to read the contract before taking the plane." Noah whispered, seeing the sad look on her face.

 "If you pull this deal off, then the boss will let you go. This will be your last job, Helen". Noah tries to console her with those words.

She took the envelope from Noah and read the terms of the contract. "A Prince!," She finds herself yelling at the paper instead of Noah.

"You want me to kidnap a Prince?, no! This is too much. I can't do this."

"Bring your voice down, someone might hear you," Noah motioned to her.

 "And what is there?, No big deal, is just to get him out of the palace and into the car and we all are good to go," Noah said, rapping like he was singing a song.

"Hmmm, I see. "She put the contract in her bag. "Needless to talk to you," she walks back to her seat.

 "Kidnap a Prince?, No…no…no…" Helen shakes her head as she sat down thinking about it.

There is no way she's going to kidnap a Prince. What if she gets caught?. "Surely he is no ordinary person. He is a prince for God's sake.

 Why will they want to kidnap him?," Helen could not just think of a better explanation why the boss wants her to be the one to go for this mission. This mission is beyond her, but the boss have confident in her that she will deliver.

 This is not the life she has dreamed of, she has always wanted money to live life in luxury, that is why her main job is to rub houses, shopping mall, supermarket and what have you, but to kidnap a Prince!, No. That is way out of line.

She has always known that the boss hates her and wants to fry her like an egg, but he could find a better way of doing that, not to send her to the lion's den.

"Helen, are you OK? your flight is about to take off." Noah said, looking at his watch.

"What!, are you not coming with me?". She asks surprise seeing how Noah was not ready to enter the plane with her.

"I'm sorry Helen, you are going alone, just be careful,"

"What!, Why alone?" her fear began to increase and her heart started beating wildly, she can't do this alone, she needs Noah to be with her, and for the first time Helen needed Noah's help, she has never thought a day like this will come when she will have to ask Noah to help her.

"That's the instructions Helen, they need a new maid in the palace, I can't come with you. "

 Helen feels her leg crumbling under her. She felt like sitting down but the flight was about to kick off.

'Hurry up Helen, you will miss your flight". she hurried and onboard the flight. She felt like a lost puppy looking for a Savior. She thought of crying, but big girls don't cry.

She felt like her world was coming to an end. She sat down and pin her head between her knees blaming her parents for pushing her into this way of life.

Had it been her parents try to make a little money for themselves and for the family, she won't have to find herself in this kind of mess?

Surely she's not going to pull through with this deal. She knew it, she can feel it. "This thing is not going to work." She murmured.

She felt a sense of hopelessness and wish that Noah had come with her. At least she could have a partner, but now she's out here all alone, she doesn't even know anyone. But then she raise her head and someone was smiling at her.

 She quickly put her head down and raise it up after thirty minutes, but he was still smiling at her.

"What is he smiling at?, Oh.. shit!… maybe is my hair!", she put her left hand into her handbag to get out her small mirror to help her adjust her hair but it seems she has forgotten it because she was in a hurry to leave the house.

“Oh….No!, I hope he didn't think I look funny?, Why will he be looking at me like that and smiling?, Surely is my look. I didn't take out time to look at myself in the mirror and he thinks am funny.

Helen was so concerned about her looks right now, she has forgotten about the damn business of kidnapping a Prince and focusing on this guy. "Maybe he likes me". She thought and then smile back at him but he look away quickly.
