I returned back to the trailer with my heart thumping very fast, I was so anxious about my father's meeting with Madame, I was hoping that my first week there went so well without any need to report back to my father but if Madame was thinking otherwise then I wonder what she would actually be planning on telling him and at such a private hour as well.
I was planning on scolding my sister for preparing breakfast without my consent but I couldn't do that anymore when I saw her crying, I rushed to her side with paper towels to dab her eyes with it.
"Crying? At such time in the morning? That's not good for your beautiful eyes darling" I told her gently as I pet her, she was still sobbing violently and the only time she cried like this was when she thought of our mother or maybe remembered her in some kind of memory flash.
"I am sorry… it's just that, I miss her" she sobbed into the handkerchief that I brought out for her, the paper towels were already used up.
"We all miss her and there is no way that we can relax our minds if we see you crying like this, it would make us sad as well" I rubbed her shoulder comfortingly, I did not feel like scolding her anymore.
"I am sorry… it's just that, with the way that everything is going and how many blessings we have seen lately, I just wish that she could have been here to see it all happen… she would have been so happy and proud of you" Lucia started crying again and this time I felt like joining her but if I did, who was going to comfort me?.
"I am sure that she is proud of us where ever she is, there is no doubt about that… she wouldn't want us to be crying about it, so cheer up and come and make breakfast with me" I pulled the crying girl to her feet and we set off to make breakfast in the kitchen area, I brought out the bread that was needed for the bacon and toast with a cup of coffee breakfast.
Lucia handled the bacon well and she fried it until they were crisp, just the way I liked them… the coffee didn't take more than two minutes and soon we were having a nice talk over a cup of coffee and a toast in hand.
"How are they like? The people that you work for" Lucia asked me as the breakfast progressed, I was about to bite into a toast but I stopped to answer her question.
"They are nice, rich as well, they like fancy things and their compound is so huge, I work for only one person and that is Julian, the new CEO of his father's company" I rolled my eyes subconsciously as I mentioned his name, I did not like his cold behavior that he put up all the time.
"Sounds like you don't like your boss" Lucia said with a small smile, I laughed aloud because of her statement.
"Don't get me wrong, he is alright but he is just too weird sometimes… he acts cold, he acts as if he owns the place (even though he does) and he even shouted on his mother… he has no behavioral conduct and he is one hell of a bipolar human" I saw his face in front of me as I spoke and for one moment, I could vividly see his cold gray eyes that held no love or affection.
"Is he handsome?" Lucia's question brought me out of my thoughts and I blushed before replying because I had been thinking about his face before she asked me the question.
"I don't think that I should be looking at my boss in that way" I evaded her question deftly but she was not backing down so easily.
"I was only asking that question because our teacher in school told us that, attractive people acts proud and disrespectful because of their beauty, so I wanted to know if he was-" I got her point before she finished and I rushed the answer because his face was still on my mind and my cheeks were beginning to hurt.
"Yes, he is handsome and he is very rich too… I guess that's why he acts that way" I answered her question for her and hoped that she would drop the issue but she didn't, she prodded on even to places that I thought she wouldn't reach.
"Do you like him?" Lucia asked with an innocent smile, I blushed so hard and I couldn't understand why.
"No! I don't like a player like him and besides… I have a boyfriend so please don't view me as such a girl that would have an affair with her boss because I might get offended, Lucia" I warned her severely for what she did and she raised her hand to show how sorry she was.
"I surrender, I am not going to ask further questions… I just felt that since we always tell each other stuffs like that, I thought that you would actually want to talk about some things concerning your work life but I was wrong! You haven't been with me all week so I thought that maybe we could catch up but I was wrong!" Lucia ran out of the trailer in tears and I put my head in my hands to think about what I had done.
I had treated her so harshly and succeeded in hurting her feelings. When I thought that the drama was enough for one morning, I heard a knock followed by a voice that I had been avoiding lately.
"A sister is not supposed to make her sister cry, you know" Olivia's voice brought me dread, I had forgotten about her case for a brief moment but now she was in my front, quite unavoidable and I was incapable of escaping her this time, I held my breath as I heard the door open and I turned around with a forced grin.
"Welcome, my friend"
