Elise
Outside we met Mr. Williams warming up Dad's car. Mr. William's is our family personal driver. He's been with us since I can remember. You can say he's like a family.
"Good morning Mr. Williams" I greeted as I rounded to unlock my door.
"Morning Elise" He flashed me a smile. "Hope you had a great night"
"Yes Mr.Williams. Hope it's the same with you"
"Yes dear. The old man is up and strong. By the way, I like your car" And that made a smile out of me. I'm glad that people are noticing the car.
"Thank you Mr. Williams. I got it painted yesterday"
"That's nice. The person who did the work is really skilled. I like it"
Only if he knew the extent I went through for the fixing. Only If he knew. I only flashed him a smile. "I will be on my way then"
"Have a great day girls"
"Bye Mr. Williams" And we got into the car and drove on our way.
While in the car, Aria kept talking on the phone. Sending voice notes to her friends. Which is basically about boys. I wonder if there's any other thing in her head apart from boys talk. "I hope you're focusing on your studies and not stalking boys" I said when I heard a giggle erupt from her at some joke. A joke I had no idea what it was about.
"Yes Sis. If I don't, Mom wouldn't have sit idle. Wait till you see our part time mathematics teacher"
"Part time teacher? Is there something like that?"
"Yeah. Our teacher went on an important trip, so he's taking over. Even though it's for a short while. Oh my God, just his body is a sight to droll on. And not to talk of his eyes. His eyes are so-"
"Do you want to get off here?" She glance at the window. We were on the middle of this road. And I wouldn't think twice to drop her off. After all, I'm only helping her. It's not like I'm the one taking her to school.
"I'm sorry" She said in a slow voice resting her back down. And that was the end of her boys fantasy. My car came to a halt in front of the college.
"Thank you sis. You're the best" She unlocked the door and got out of the car. I was about to drive my car away when she turned back.
"Oh my God, I just saw the teacher" She almost shouted.
"What teacher?" I asked not getting her.
"The part time teacher. He's going towards that direction" With the way it sounded weird to me, the curiosity to check out the person grew in me. I was curious to know who the person my sister is all giddy about is. I followed her pointing hands. But all I could see is his back. Before I could talk, she sprinted away. I spared the figure a second glance. His back was facing me but then again, he looks familiar. Like I've seen him before.
Elena's call came through as I drove my way to the office " Elena " I commenced as I slid the green button.
"Good morning Miss Elise. I'm calling to remind you about the meeting you have with Mrs Melissa" My eyebrows furrowed in question. . Who is Melissa again?
"Who is Melissa?" I asked as I rounded the next street
"Skylar's Mother . The meeting is by 10:30am at LèChattè restaurant".
As the name Skylar slipped out of her mouth , a his left my lips. First , the daughter and now the mother. What could she possibly wants from me? Skylar has been on earful already. I've already made myself clear to her that if she's not going for last prece of design , then she'd have to look for another designer.
Since then she has been quite and now the mother is up on the plate. I glanced at my wrist watch. It's already past 10. I have wae fifteen minutes to get to the restaurant. Its not that far from where I was currently. "Alrigth, after the meeting what do I have again?" I asked.
"In-clients"
"Alright. Thank you" I hung up Increasing mmy speed.
My car came to a halt Infront of LèChattè restaurant. It's a classy and expensive restaurant where all the big names , and other public figure dine in. I guess Mrs Melissa is one of them. I parked my parking lot for customers. Grabbed my bag and then made my way out.
Even when l entered the restaurant. There were literally few people here and there . I scanned the room and a middle aged woman waved her hand over.
She must be Skylar's mother. As neared her, I was surprised at her young form. Nevelueless, she is Indeed a beautiful woman. I wouldn't think twice to say she's more beautiful than her daughter. Only that Skylar is a bit fairer and skinner.
"Hello" I said taking the seat facing her·
"Hello young lady. I don't think there's a need for a long formalites. I'm Melissa, Skylar's mother" she said leaning her hands over the table for a handshake.
"I'm Elise. Elise Jordan" I ushered back shaking her hand.
"I've ordered coffee already. Don't know what flavour you take . I ordered for a normal coffee" She pondered.
Great . I like how smart she is . I don't really have a specific flavour . I like any type of coffee In as much as it tastes sweet , then I'm in.
"Thank you. I'm okay with any flavour" Just then the coffee was brought out. The sight of it was already making me tasty . I wasted no time in taking a sip . The sweetness going in contact with my tongue. So far so good, I like the restaurant's coffee . Your taste buds can't go bad with the coffee.
"I see you're enjoying the coffee Miss Elise" Mrs Melissa's voice snapped my eyes open.
"Yeah I like the coffee here"
"Oh... You're a regular here?" she asked her eyes going slightly wide.
"Not really I come once in a while. Mostly for business purpose"
"I see" she leaned over adjusting her sitting "So without further wasting of time, I heard everything from Skylar" she said "Okay..." I trailed off.
