The next day was a Sunday, Andrew couldn't get a new SIM card and phone as early as he had wanted, and it got Vivian very worried.
Vivian was surprised, naturally Andrew would have called every morning. But that morning was different, as he didn't call and his line wasn't going through.
She was dead worried, did he by any chance recognize who Ella was? Maybe he is avoiding her on purpose after seeing Ella. She flashed back to when he asked her about the house.
No doubt, Andrew has found out about something. She was not happy but tried her best not to show it, nothing must bother Ella for now. She has exams to write.
Ella noticed her aunt, she was not happy but was trying hard not show it. "Auntie, is everything okay with you?"
"Yes, I am fine." Vivian manages to fake a smile.
Her aunt was lying, it was obvious. So she tried to bring up a topic to cheer her up. "When you get married, I will move in with you."
"What?" Vivian asks and smiles.
"Yes" Ella nods. "Do you expect me to stay here all alone, and again you will need someone to help you out with the house chores and carry the baby for you."
"Baby?" Vivian laughs loudly, Ella seems to have successfully lighten up her mood. "You are taking things too fast."
"How? You should get married as soon as possible. I want to be an aunt too and carry babies." Ella nags.
"I would get married, but not now. I don't want to rush things." Vivian says and her phone rings, but it was an unknown number. She doesn't like picking up unknown numbers, but she had a change of mind because she hasn't been able to reach Andrew. "Hello."
"Hi beloved." Andrew whispers.
"Andrew!." Vivian calls happily. "What happened to your phone? I have been trying to reach you since morning."
"I am sorry about that, I actually went out last night to get something but some pick pocket stole my phone." Andrew lies again.
"That's fine." Vivian stood and went straight to her room to have some privacy.
Ella smiles. "My auntie is so obsessed with this uncle.
The D-day was here, the first day of exams that Ella has been preparing for. Ella walks in the school compound gently, and was heading to her classroom. It was pretty early though, but she had to come to school that early because of the exams, she wanted to settle well and prepare herself.
This was her first time writing exams in the school anyways, she was pretty nervous about that, not too sure on how the teachers would choose to set their examination questions.
On her way to the classroom, she spots one of her male teachers coming out of the principal's office adjusting his belt, and his trousers looked loose. As if he took them off or something.
It really wasn't her business, she took few steps away when something caught her attention. Ella takes some steps backwards again and sees that the teacher was coming out of the Principal's office in that state.
"What is going on in this school?" She asks herself staring at the teacher who was standing somewhere to adjust his belt properly. Soon, he was done with his belt and he saw Ella staring at him, he was frightened. "Good morning sir." She greets ignoring his frightened attitude.
"Why are you in school this early?" He asks walking close to her.
"Our exams are starting today, So I am here this early to prepare myself."
"Okay." He clears his throat nervously. "Good luck." He walks out still nervous.
Ella's eyes follows him and she laughs for some seconds. "After all, everyone has got skeleton in their cupboard." She says and was about to continue her trip to the classroom when someone called her.
"Ella!"
Looking back, she saw Lola, the school principal. Ella walks closer to the principal and greets.
"Good morning ma."
"Why are you in school this early?"
"I came to prepare myself well for the ex-"
"Who are you?" The principal asks cutting her off. "Who are you and what exactly are you hiding?" she asks again and there was no reply. "I get it, you won't tell me? I will find out myself."
"Don't try anything stupid ma'am, don't cross your path." Ella warns sternly.
"What? How dare you use such words on me?"
"You are not worthy of your position. Just know that, if you try anything stupid. I will expose you."
Ella's statement sounded more like a threat, Lola dares not do anything stupid. Above all, she values her reputation more than anything else. She wouldn't allow Ella rub her precious reputation that she has been building for a while in the mud.
