Alyssa arrived back at her apartment where she stayed with her mother. She had wondered why Gladys had not made up to the party and was ready to scold her for that but to her surprise when she entered the apartment which was decorated with each and every beautiful picture of her but there was no sign of Gladys' presence.
" Where did she go ? " Alyssa asked herself and went to sit on a sofa as she removed her heels. After this she went to her room where she refreshed and wore her pajamas. It was almost 10pm but still Gladys was no where to be seen so Alyssa decided to go and sleep.
The next morning , Alyssa was awaken by hard knocks on her door. She wondered if it was Gladys' who just returned and rushed to open but to her surprise she found two men who were clad in black suits.
" Good morning Miss ? " One of them greeted.
" Good morning. You are...? " Alyssa asked giving them questioning eyes.
" Oh..We have been sent by Mr Wong with a warning warrant to Mrs Gladys for failing to pay off her debts in time. " The other man Said.
" Warning ? Debts ?....What are you talking about ? " Alyssa asked in a perplexed tone.
" Yes Ma'am . Am sure this is her address. Do you know her anyway ? " The man asked.
" Of course , Gladys is my mother. But how comes she is in a debt ? " Alyssa inquired.
" Oh..You know she owns a beauty shop and she's been purchasing cosmetics on credit but unfortunately she has failed to pay back. Her paying off date is soon reaching so we want to make sure ishe pays it. " The man explained as Alyssa nodded.
" Oh...I get that. How much is the money ? " Alyssa asked cheerfully thinking that it was some little but the answer shocked her.
" It's over fifty millions. " The man said bringing Alyssa to her shock.
" Fifty millions , All that money for just costemics ? " Alyssa couldn't believe it .
" Miss , I know it's hard for you to believe it but already signed a contract that she would pay back with 30% interest . That's why the amount is very high. " The man said.
" Okay , Give it to me. I promise I will settle this. ," Alyssa said getting the warning note and closed the door to walk back inside the house.
She read through it till she found the name of the company . ' Wong Cosmetics Limited. '
' But where did Mother put the money I have been giving her all along ? She would have at least paid half of the debt. " Alyssa cried innery and then decided to call her mother through the phone but Gladys wasn't picking.
