Chereads / The Senator's Wife / Chapter 21 - #InstaMom

Chapter 21 - #InstaMom

She calls Brie to double check if she has work schedules for the coming week.

"You just got married and still on a honeymoon phase so I rescheduled your photo shoots," Brie replies.

She demands, "Get me some work I want to work." She drops the call and lies down again sulking until she falls asleep.

Morning comes. She opens her eyes half asleep finding a little girl tinkering on a digital tablet lying by her side. The little girl throws her an unexpected smile.

She tries to wake herself up and open her eyes wider to make sure that she does not see wrong. Why is Athena in their bedroom? She lifts the sheet and moves her knees to get up when Athena suddenly runs out.

She is perplexed. She heaves several deep breathes to clear her mind. She stretches her arms and picks up her phone.

She presses on a number. As soon as the call gets connected, she says, "Could you fetch me? I want to go out."

Brie comments, "Sounds like you're in a bad mood. Did you have a fight with Senator Graysen?"

She cuts her out, "I'm sending you the address."

Athena comes back. She pushes the door wide open. Nana Rosa follows her with a tray of breakfast.

"Good morning, madam. Senator Graysen said you did not eat last night. You must be hungry," Nana Rosa says. She puts the tray on her lap.

The little girl sits again at the other side of the bed, anticipating for her to eat.

She adds, "Athena helps in preparing these for you."

She thanks Athena and the old woman. She starts eating.

Before Nana Rosa steps out she tells her, "Nana Rosa, please inform the main gate that I have a visitor coming over. Her name is Brianna Nords."

She puts the tray at the side table when she thinks she had her fill.

When she closes the bathroom door, Athena puts her tablet down and runs to the door. Nana Rosa has been waiting outside the room. She picks the tray away. Athena remains in the bedroom.

Rosa takes a sweet time bathing and fixing herself. She comes out of the walk-in closet fully made up holding her bag. Athena is still sitting on the bed. The little girl looks at her smiling timidly.

She is about to get out of the room. Athena gazes at her but she still stays in the bed.

She calls her. "Let's go down."

Athena springs to her feet and takes her hand. Rosa comes down the stairs holding Athena's hand until reaching the patio waiting for Brie.

Brie stops the car in front of her and opens the car window.

She pats the little girl's head. "Athena, I have to go now." She motions her to go inside.

As soon as she shut the car door, Brie asks, "Who is that girl?"

She flatly replies, "Graysen's daughter."

Brie pouts her lips. "Ows, so that's why you're not in a good mood."

She denies, "No."

Brie pesters her, "Is that so? In that case, congratulations. You are now #instamom!"
