Chris saw the way Jack's eyes lit up as he talked about her, there seemed to be something going on between them, and he was going to ask him once they were alone
Anthony dropped and it was just the two of them left
"hey Jack," he said
"yes sir" he replied him
"is there anything going on between you two?" he asked him
"something like that" he replied even though they'd only spent a night together, he kinda of felt that they shared something special, so that was why he said that
"Okay, that's good to hear," he said, at least he won't have to burden himself with thinking that she might ask for marriage so he could focus on Jane, he honestly didn't know why he thought of her just now, was it that he wants to marry her or what?
He doesn't even know anymore, now that he is getting closer to finding that girl, he feels more relaxed about his life now
It was already evening by the time he got back to the company, he still had a lot of documents to go through so he just dived right into it
"Jack please head over to my office right now" he called for him
Jack appeared in his office "You called for me sir" he said
"yes someone is stealing money from the company, do you have any idea who it is?" he asked him
"no sir" he replied him
"schedule a meeting for Monday with the head of every department, the board of directors as well, and everybody in the top position in this company, my father will be here as well so make adequate preparations I need to get to the bottom of this fast" he gave him the instructions
"All alright sir I will do that right away" he replied and left his office
Jane and Grace waited for the man to appear but he was nowhere to be found, so they decided to return home, maybe he got scared and changed his mind along the line cause if not he would be here like they agreed
They got home, but it was already evening; Grace could see her mom outside; grandma was there too, and so was that wench Angel. She was still in this house? She thought her brother already asked her to leave so what was she still doing here
She felt like something was wrong, they both alighted from the car and headed inside the house
"Young lady, where in the world are you coming from?" Maria asked her
"Mom I'm an adult and I go wherever I please, you can't keep tabs on me all the time, it's not ni,ce," she said
"so now you've become best friends with a common maid, uhhhnn you are a lady of class and you should behave like one not mingling around with low lives" she complained
"Maria, that's enough. I wish I had the same thinking that you did. I will never have allowed you to marry my son either because you were also a maid in my house back then, remember?" Rebecca put her in her place, she was tired of hearing her whine and complain about the poor girl all the time
"Mother!" she exclaimed she wasn't expecting that she would talk to her and embarrass her like that in front of everyone, she was simply shocked
"you should be grateful that my son took interest in you and that you were carrying my grandson, so leave the poor girl alone and let her be," she said and made her way inside
Seeing that her grandma was already going inside, Grace quickly followed behind her dragging Jane along with her so that she wouldn't have to deal with her mom again she was so not willing to deal with her that night, they were already both tired and hungry
Jane made her way inside her room so she could freshen up. She had heard that part before Mr Williams had already told her that night, but she was very unsure if Grace knew about her mother's past; it was good that Madam Rebecca talked about it.
For someone who used to be a maid, she was supposed to have compassion but she doesn't at all, and she didn't seem to be that kind of person the day she came here for the interview, she was nice to her so her sudden change in attitude baffles her
Jane went ahead to freshen up, she knew the kids would be with Thelma, she seemed to be the one in charge of them these days and she was thankful for that
She went into the bathroom to take her bath and freshen up but as she was there, she could not stop thinking of what would have happened if she had met that guy today, she does not know how she would have reacted but then he didn't show up
She finished taking her bath and then wore new clothes, she made her way downstairs, she was going to the kitchen and just like she presumed the kids were there and they seemed to be helping out with the food that was being cooked
"and may I know what's going on here, are you guys mini chefs now or what?" she said
Hearing his mother's voice from behind him, Chris was very delighted, he ran towards her and Jane also followed behind him
"And what are you guys doing?" she asked them
"hey mum, we are helping Thelma and Estella cook tonight; we didn't have anything to do because we didn't have anyone to help us with our homework, so we decided to help out here, just like I help grandma back home," Chris explained to his mother.
