-Eleonora-

I walked around the place, it was a vast place but didn't have a look of a farm, it was just a few cabins and a few square lands of grass. I saw what looked like a man at a distance I took my shot and walked to him hoping he could explain what this was.

"Hello sir" I greeted him waving my hand, we were separated by some grids I watched him looking at some fluffy brown things from the distance

"Hello, miss! Oh you must be our new boss, right?" he asked in a sharp texas accent

" I wouldn't say that but-" he passed his hand through the grid so I could shake his hands "It's a pleasure-" I tried to say while this man dislocated my collarbone

"Your Mrs. Maxwell! I'm Benjamin Wyatt" he introduced himself while placing his hat down "welcome to the farm!"

"Thank you" I smiled "What are you doing?"

"I'm watching over the bulls over there" he pointed at the brown dots

"Those are bulls?"

"Yes, they like to graze far till their little hill over there" he explained to me

"You don't go with them?"

"Nah, I'm too old for walking that far. Slipper does that job!" I looked around to try to understand who Slipper was but they were so far I just saw dots "See that dot moving pretty fast ?" I nodded my head in response "That's Slipper, he is a caucasian shepherd, and he loves to pasture the bulls"

"Has he been doing this for a long time?"

"Slipper? No, he hasn't he started one month ago his mom and his dad are the ones who are more used to it but lately Daisy hasn't been feeling well" the man explained, I was looking at the beautiful green hill in front of me this place looks like some sort of heaven, it's so beautiful that it's ridiculous

"what happen?"

"a new litter...she has been having a lot of pain because of the pregnancy so Slipper has been learning how the job"

"oh well I hope she gets well"

"she has company, Slipper's dad never lets her side. It's a good dog, a loyal dog... it was Mr.Maxwell's first dog" I suddenly was even more interested in this... So Blaze had a dog which meant that somewhere in there he had emotions, people with animals are emotional people only those who treat bad animals but I don't believe he is that kind of person "Do you like animals Miss?"

"Me?" I questioned pointing at myself making the man nod bouncing his straw hat up and down "I do yes, very much"

"How do you feel about horses?"

"I love them"

"Let me show you something" The man passed through the bars of the grid and led me to the farm along the way he showed me some other animals, then we stopped near an iron grid where a man and next to him a white and brown horse. His fur was beautiful he had brown spots and he looked fluffier than all the horses I'd seen.

"Oh my that horse is beautiful" I commented

"Thanks," The man who was next to him said, he was a very young man probably around my age he had beautiful blue eyes and caramel hair, a sharp jawline, and probable abs under that tight shirt. " He is hard to take care of " the man smiled "Benjamin, who is this beautiful woman?"

I felt my face suddenly hot, did I just blush? Oh no, I'm married what the hell is wrong with me?

"Hold your horses, Ford, she is your new boss" Benjamin said, the man walked close to the grid to introduce himself

"Mason Ford, Pleasure!" he greeted me while showing off his white teeth and extending his hand

"Eleonora Hart " I said shaking his hand "Maxwell" I said quickly this thing of being married is still fresh in my brain

"Do you like horses, Mrs.Maxwell?"

"I do yes"

"Do you know how to ride?"

"Yes" I said in an uneasy tone, so many questions whats whit this all questionary out of the sudden

"Have you ever been with a wild horse?"

"No"

"Do you want to?"

"I do" I said climbing the grid, he shook his head in approval

"Well, come with me I'll show you" he walked through the green grass and I followed him in this moment I thanked myself mentally for choosing to wear the sneakers. We walked for a long time he kept asking questions about when I started to ride horses, the conversation was very subtle and he was very interested in knowing what I had to say. We then stopped almost near the other side of the lake and there they were, a lot of horses eating the grass together I didn't know why but that made me smile.

"What do you do? I mean what is this farm really about you're taking car of wild animals do you have any profit from it ?" I asked not understanding what they did, I did notice the grids were only to divide the farm from the horses there were no more grids around as if the trapped ones were the humans on the farm while the animals were all free. I liked that idea, knowing they were free but yet I didn't understand what they did exactly.

Mason laughed "You sound like Mr.Maxwell," he said making the smile on my face disappear. Damn you Mason you were doing great till now "We take care of the wild animals, there's no profit from it, we don't make any products out of the animals or ride them only the ones that let that happen"

"But you're being paid right?" I questioned making him nod a yes with his head

"Mr.Maxwell pays us for taking care of the wild animals around the lake this is all his property"

"The lake too?" I questioned surprised

the man giggled "The mountains too" he pointed to the green and white keen mountains

"So you need to take care of all of the animals even on that side of the lake?"

"On that side of the lake, on the lake, on the mountains most of them are in route to extinction. Since the property passed to Mr. Maxwell he has been doing it like a city service for the wild animals" He explained making me question passed to Blaze but from who?

"What was it then?"

" A simple farm, they sold the milk, eggs, bulls fur, cows fur, fox's fur, many horses were trained to be race horses other to be domesticated. It wasn't such a nice job to do" he commented with a sigh

I smiled looking at the happy horses "What kind of animals are around here?"

"All sort of Alaskan type of animals. Black Bears, Brown Bears, Moose, Artic foxes, Red Foxes, Reindeer, Lynxs, Mountain Goats, Squirrels, Beevers, Minks, Woodchucks, Coyotes, Wolves, some Bats, Otters, Dall's Sheep, Bisons-"

"What?" I asked stopping his long list "What did you say?"

"Bison?"

"No before that"

"Dall's Sheep?"

"Nope before"

"Otters?" he questioned with a smiley face, I returned the smile and I squealed with happiness mentally

"You take care of otters?"

"We do yeah" he smiled happily "Why?"

"I love otters" I smiled happily

"They are on the other side of the lake, a river passes through there, and there's also a lot of reindeer around that zone" he informed

"Can I go there?"

"Sure" He laughed probably at my enthusiasm " it's a more dangerous zone around there, they are a few wolves nearby but I can take you, Mrs. Maxwell, tomorrow if you like"

"Oh yes yes, I would love that!" I said clapping in joy "tomorrow it is"

"I will wait for you after lunch, Miss"

Blaze

It was starting to get dark and my stomach needed something so my brain could work I got up from my chair and called Albert through a communicator I had that made a connection with the kitchen. One of the oldest butlers in this house, he was the one who took care of me when I was only a baby sometimes my mom and dad didn't have the time to babysit around, they worked a lot and Albert was the one who took care of the small child but sometimes in rare time my grandfather and my grandmother were the ones who took care of me and played with me.

"Do you need something, Mr. Maxwell?"

"Yes, Albert I would like something to eat, please"

"Anything in mind?"

"Just a simple toast and a coffee, nothing more"

"Right away sir"

I stretched myself and walked to the window, this house although old had great architecture. I inherited the house after my grandfather died and then I changed to a more modern style, also I changed a few things around the farm. The house was nice and refreshing for me, it was where I spent a lot of time in my childhood, and at least my good childhood was here. I had good moments and memories in this big house.

As I looked outside my eyes captured two figures happily smiling making me frown. Eleonora was walking to the entrance of the house with a simple employee of the farm by her side, she was laughing and happy. I frowned even more not understanding such closeness by the two yet I shook it off and sat at my chair resuming my work.

Eventually, Albert came with the food and placed it on the center table in front of the sofas. I had a big office to work in when I needed to come here and relax. "Here it is Mr.Maxwell, anything else?" he asked after placing the tray of food on the glassy center table

"No..." I said as he was almost leaving I felt the urge to ask "Actually- " I began making Albert turn in curiosity " What has she been doing?"

"oh Mrs.Maxwell took a look outside, and she saw the animals ... she was very happy about it" That's why she was with that employee she was getting to know the animals

"Do you need anything more sir?" Albert asked taking me out of my thoughts. At least she wasn't being loud or distracting me from my job.

"No Albert, Thank you" The man left and walked to my simple dinner yet I wasn't very worried about it I am not a person who eats much I do know what I need to eat, to keep my mind healthy so I can work easily.

Seconds, Minutes, and hours passed it was already 11 p.m. and I didn't hear any sound outside. Is it possible everyone is sleeping? Even Eleonora? Then she must be on her side of the bed, I should go too I am tired.

I quietly entered the room and I saw her figure through the dark she was all converted with the duvets, I walked to the big closet and changed clothes. I went to the bathroom and walked to the bed, I looked at her, and I could get a glimpse of her face I analyzed her... she was peacefully sleeping, making almost no sound only her breaths were heard.

Seeing her like this is hard to believe she is this loud and naggy woman. I laid down turning my back to her ready to sleep on my side I closed my eyes thinking... of how my life turned quickly over my work yet I had to endure it no matter how this business would change my life I will start to start routes on the other side of the world.

Thinking big, was only my plan, go further and never stop. Be ambitious ad have the world in the palm of my hand so maybe then I will be worthy in his eyes.
