Priscilla raised her head to see that person and he was the same boy who was making money by dancing on the street.
He clenched burgers from Priscilla's hands and returned them to the lady.
Lady: "I have called the police, Stand right there otherwise you'll suffer the worst punishment."
The boy bowed towards that lady while saying: "Mam, My apologies. She is my sister. I told her to go to your stall and get two burgers. I'll pay you later but I had no idea that she would perform this activity without your permission. I promise that this will not happen again."
That lady: "Oh dear! You look sensible and she is so innocent. You should take these burgers and tell me whenever you are hungry. I'll give you the food for free. By the way, what is your name?"
That boy: "My name is Dylan. Thank you for your co-operation, mam."
{Author's note => Dylan was the guy who helped Priscilla when she was a seventeen years old kid.}
Dylan gave a burger to Priscilla and took her to the bench on the side of the street.
Dylan: "Who are you?"
Priscilla: "Thank you. I am Priscilla. I am homeless and helpless."
Dylan: "I didn't ask you where you live I just inquired your name. You already look homeless. Do you have anyone else with you like your mom, dad, or any family member?"
Priscilla: "I have a happy family but they don't live with me."
Dylan: "Then where do they live?"
Priscilla: "They live..."
Priscilla looked at the sky and pointed at the stars.
Priscilla: "These stars in a triangle are my family. The top one is my grandfather. The right one on the downside is my father and the left one is my mother."
Dylan took a deep breath and sat beside Priscilla while announcing: "So you are just like me. My parents also died, they left me alone in this world. But don't worry we are not alone anymore, we are together from now on, We'll be best friends forever."
Priscilla: "I saw you dancing, Do you like to dance?"
Dylan: "It's just a hobby. I want to be an actor and a dancer so I just like to show off my skills and get paid but today is a good day. I saved my money to rent a room and I was just coming back from that place. But I still need a job to be settled."
Priscilla: "I have a beautiful home. I have so many rooms, my dad's piano, and beautiful furniture but I don't know how to get into that home."
Dylan: "Was your dad a pianist? He might be a popular person."
Priscilla: "Not only that, my mom was a famous opera singer."
Dylan: "Oh wow so you might be living a good life. Not as mine. I mean you were born rich and I was born poor. I spent all these years in poverty."
Priscilla: "Don't worry you are not alone anymore."
Dylan: "You are right. Hey! Do you have any talent like opera singing, playing the piano, or anything else?"
Priscilla: "Yes, I have a good voice, and I can play the piano a little bit like some tones. My dad taught me 'Twinkle Twinkle little star.' But I think I can play some more of that."
Dylan: "Can I call you Prissy?"
Priscilla: "Yes, why not? We are good friends now, so its cool. No one called me by my nickname before."
Dylan: "Okay that's great."
Both chuckled.
-------------In reality-------------
***Next day!***
Priscilla was sleeping in the room. Suddenly her phone rang. She received a call without noticing a number.
Priscilla (In a sleepy tone): "Hello, Who is it?"
A man spoke (on the call): "Oh! Hi miss Rimiley. Did I distract your sleep?"
Priscilla saw the number on the phone, that was Grey Allaire's call.
Priscilla became shocked and sat on her bed while replying, "Oh! No, I was just resting. I mean, I was tired from the morning walk and I didn't have any idea when I slept.
Grey chuckled and responded: "Okay! By the way, I didn't ask for any explanation and I should have texted you before calling.
Priscilla: "It's okay. May I know the reason for your call?"
Grey: "Yes, I wanted to inform you about my mom I mean she wanted you to come to the ceremony of her wedding anniversary and I also want you to perform with me. I just want to surprise my parents. If you are available..."
Priscilla cut off to Grey's statement and raised a suspicion: "Why do you want me to perform with you and when is the ceremony?"
Grey: "Because my mom really likes you and she also thinks that you are talented. You know what, it's just like her wish and the ceremony is tomorrow night."
Priscilla: "Okay I'll consider my schedule and then reply to you in the evening today."
Grey: "Okay, I'll wait and please accept my apologies for distracting your sleep. You can now get back to your sleep, bye."
Priscilla: "But it's....."
Grey hung up the call without listening to Priscilla's sentence, She (Priscilla) looked at her phone to see the time. It was 02:11 pm (afternoon).
Priscilla: "He is such a rude person, I hate him."
Priscilla dialed the call to Sasha. Sasha didn't receive a call.
Priscilla called on Kate's number. Kate received a call.
Kate: "Hello mam. How are you?"
Priscilla: "Did you receive a call from Gray Allaire?"
Kate: "No mam, What happened? Did you have an appointment with him?"
Priscilla: "No, Where is Sasha?"
Kate: "She is in the meeting with your new agent."
Priscilla: "New agent, But who?"
Kate: "A new agent is assigned for you. Didn't you know?"
Priscilla: "Who is that agent?"
Kate: "Esmé Allaire."
Priscilla: "What?"
