Lisa... it's Monday morning,you can't go late to school" Annabel groans as she pulls the half awake teenager off the bed
"Oh! Please Annabel,just two minutes more" Lisa begged but Annabel wasn't going to take it
"No. I warned you not to watch that movie late into the night but you refused and had to sleep 2am in the morning. Now see the consequences"
"But it was interesting"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. And also,I don't want to sit in the class like a nobody when my classmates are busy talking about the movie. It's the season finale of walking dead and I need to have a say in the discussion...she paused...oh my gosh,school!! No I can't be late"
"You see?"
Lisa started undressing immediately. Annabel laughed at how she removed everything right in front of her
"Have some shame young lady" Annabel turned her face and Lisa rolled her eyes
"I must not go late to school today" She ran into the bathroom
"Hey chill, what's the hurry? You were not this snappy few minutes ago"
"Yeah till I remembered I had something important to do" Lisa replied coming out of the bathroom and wiping her body with a towel
"What is it?" Annabel had the feeling trouble was cooking
Lisa kept quiet for awhile
"Come on tell me"
She sighed... Actually there is this guy in school that has been getting on my nerves lately"
"So?"
"So, I'm going early to lay ambush by the school gate and when he tries to get in, I'll beat the daylight out of him"
"What!" Annabel facepalmed
"What's wrong with that?"
"Everything Lisa. You can't go about beating any guy that crosses your path"
"But...."
"No buts. You will do no such thing. Infact I'm telling dad to drive you to school"
"No Annabel, don't do this to me" she pouted giving her the puppy eyes
"You know that's not gonna work on me right?"
"This is why I miss mum"
Annabel laughs
"Aren't you ladies done yet?" They heard their father's voice from outside
"I'm done" Annabel announced
"Good morning Dad?" Lisa said as he entered the room
"Morning starlight. How was your night?"
"It was cool"
Annabel took her bag and pecked her dad's forehead.
"See you in the evening daddy"
"You too"
"And Lisa follow dad to school gently and make no trouble"
"Boring"She rolled her eyes
Annabel laughed and left.
When Lisa was done,her dad drove her to school before heading for his work place. He is the manager of a big provision store.
After his wife's death 2 years ago,Mr. Williams had quit his recent job as a lawyer of a company to take care of his beautiful daughters. Annabel and Lisa to be exact.
It wasn't easy but they were able to cope especially with Annabel supporting him as the eldest daughter. He loves them and they love him too. There is nothing more he could ask for.

ADAMS BUILDING AND DESIGN COMPANY LTD
The building was a huge one and was surrounded by employees running here and there trying to get everything ready. Their C.E.O has returned from his trip to Korea and would be there any time.
Everywhere was crowded. No one wanted to be chastised by the handsome yet merciless C.E.O of that company.
There were elevators almost every where you turn to cause it was a skyscraper. The interior designs in the Halls were highly sophisticated. The office were were divided into sections according to the building materials each needed.
The C.E.Ooffice was the highest amongst the rest and just a look down the glass window,he could see everything going on around the company.
"He's here!!!" A lady announced as a Jeep drove into the premises followed by others. A bodyguard ran and opened the door and Adams the C.E.O all has been waiting for stepped down.
Adams removed his sunglasses h and breathe in the morning breeze. It's good to be home. He had actually been gone out on a business trip for two months now and he was glad to be back.
