Miranda rushed out and flagged down a cab and hopped inside quickly without telling the cab driver her destination.
" Ma'am were are heading to?". Asked the cab driver.
" Oh! Eeeem Abraham estate quickly". Miranda ordered.The cab driver started the car and drove off.
Few minutes later he got to Abraham estate" we are here ma'am". But there was no reply he turned back and saw Miranda fast asleep and tapped her." Ma'am were are at Abraham estate".
Miranda jerked up "okay". She got down and forgot to pay the cab driver.
" Ma'am you haven't paid me yet". The cab driver said to her as she was about to leave.
" Oh! Sorry", she opened her purse and brought out some money and gave him and walked out quickly.
The cab driver came down from the car after calculating the money and found out that it was three times the amount she was supposed to pay" Hey ma'am" he called out to her.
Miranda walked fast until she got home and was about to unlock the door when she saw her reflection on a little glass on the door " Oh my God what a mess have I done to myself". She brought out her makeup bag and began to dress properly so that her sister won't suspect anything.when she was done she unlocked the door and walked into the house.
" Hello Mira how was your day, do you care for some coffee?". Asked Ellen Mira's elder sister.
Miranda tried to put up a smile" Hi Ellen, can I get a cup of coffee please?". She said as she sat down on a couch.
" But I just asked if you needed one now". Said Ellen.
" Oh you did, sorry I didn't hear you ask" said Miranda.
Ellen has already started suspecting her attitude but got the two cups of coffee first" Here you go". She handled a cup of coffee to Miranda.
Miranda looked at Ellen " what is this?".
Ellen took the cup of coffee from her and placed it on the table" Mira what is wrong with you. You just requested for a cup of coffee and you are asking me what is this".
Miranda tried not to raise suspicion" Sorry can I have it?".
Ellen gave her the cup of coffee still suspicious of her odd behavior " Mira you know you are my little princess and you can tell me anything". Said Ellen as she sipped her coffee
" I know Ellen. But I have nothing to tell you". Said Miranda.
Ellen nodded her head in disagreement " Mira, I don't if anyone has ever told you that you don't know how to lie with a straight face".
" What do you mean?". Asked Miranda.
" You are my kid sister Mira and I know you so well I can tell from your expression and voice that you are not fine not to talk of your recent forgetfulness said Ellen.
Miranda kept the cup of coffee on the table and looked at Ellen" Ellen I'm fine okay".
" No you are not fine and I......". Ellen was cut short at the sound of the door bell." I will get that" said Ellen as she walked towards the door and opened it.
" Good day ma'am". The cab driver greeted Ellen .
" Good day what can I do for you?". Ellen asked him.
" There's a lady that walked in here few minutes ago, she's tall, fair and quite curvy The cab driver explained.
" So what can she do for you?". Asked Ellen.
The cab driver brought out the extra money from his Pocket " ma'am I'm the cab driver that brought her here and the money she gave me was three times the amount she was supposed to pay".
" Oh my God! Thank you so much but you can keep the money if you don't mind". Said Ellen.
" Thank you ma'am". He said and left.
Ellen closed the door" Mira just imagine.....".
Miranda was no longer in the sitting room she left the coffee untouched and went to her room immediately Ellen went to answer the door to avoid further questions.
" Oh dear little princess I hope you are fine". Said Ellen as she went up to her room.
