"Your cooking Today was the worst I've ever tasted, so you can't even make a replica dish." Erica said nothing. Edison continued "I didn't even bother you today, you just made a big mistake!". "Sir that means you were trying to say that the other food I prepared was nice". "No they weren't and I just gave you five because I pitied you". "Thank you for pitying me Sir I Hope after this competition I don't get to see your face ever again." Erica Walked out and Edison felt offended.
"She doesn't know how to talk to people older than her." Edison thought.
"We are going to throw a party in this house, they are two more competitions to go". Rita said. "No aunt not until after I've won the competition, the next one is on a Sunday".
"Erica on Sunday I don't go to the office so I'll be able to pick you up, when you've come Out of the competition. "Okay".
Elizabeth was in the house, James went to her. "Mom did you watch today's competition." "Yes I did." "And what do you think about Erica". "She's doing fine and anyway today's own was difficult, the highest was 24". "Mom I really like Erica a lot she's charming and very pretty."
Edison heard what James said while entering the house.
"Yes she's very pretty and she's patient, no matter how your brother mistreats her she never gives up or gives him attitude like some other girls would do."
James was smiling. Elizabeth observed him "Son are you in Love?". "I don't know mom, can't wait to see pretty Erica on Sunday."
Edison Just went to his room.Edison was working on some files, Veronica called him.
"Hi babe, I wanted us to go on a date are you busy?". Yes I'm very busy". Edison hung up.
"Why is he always doing this, he doesn't like spending time with me".
The next day on Saturday Erica went to Mrs blaze house again. "My dear can you help me deliver a pottage?". "Yes sure I can, where do you want the package to be delivered to".
"This house address." Erica looked at it. "Yes ma I can do it just give me thirty minutes, I have a scooter at home the one my uncle left, I'll deliver the package for you." Erica went back home, she took the Scooter. "Oh no, there's no petrol." She opened her purse and refilled the Scooter, she drove the package to its delivery address.
The house where she was to deliver the package was a really huge and beautiful mansion. "Wow, this house is amazing ,if I could live here then I won't wish for anything". The security man came "Miss what are you looking for". "I have a package to deliver." She handed the box over to the security man.
Edison was upstairs and saw the security man talking to someone in the gate from the balcony.
He wanted to call out to the security man and ask him but he waited. "Who should I deliver the package to? ". "To the house , Anyone you see give it to the person". "Okay I will".
Erica turned on her Scooter and drove off. Where Edison was standing in the balcony, you could see outside the gate. Edison saw Erica, she was driving a Scooter without a helmet. "Isn't that Miss Andrews what did she come to do in my house". The security man was entering inside with the box.
"Mister". Edison called ,the security man looked up "yes sir." "bring the box upstairs." The security man brought the box and left.
Edison opened the box and confetti shot at him, there were pieces of confetti in the box lay a family picture where Mrs blaze was in it with Edison, James, Elizabeth and the others.
Edison frowned, who could send this."
Mrs blaze was laughing hard, "So ma you want to prank your family". "Yes I know they miss me so much, but they don't know I'm in America."
"Your family house is really big and beautiful." "Yes that belonged to my deceased brother but his Eldest Son even made it more beautiful, before it was just a sample one storey building his Son demolished it and made it a mansion ". "Wow, his Son is hardworking, that's nice". "Thank you Erica for laughing with me and always keeping me company." " it's nothing I have a lot of fun chatting with old people, I'll learn a lot".
Erica looked at the clock, it was 12pm. "Ma would you like me to prepare any dish for you?". "Yes I do, I Love all the food you make they're so delicious, first start from a Sandwich before you cook me a nice dish." "Yes ma." Erica went to the kitchen. Mrs blaze Smiled at Erica.
Edison came back from work, he showed his mother the picture. "Every one of our Family member is in it". "then who sent it?". Elizabeth thought. "Then I'm going to ask the delivery girl." "How would you know the delivery girl? They're many people who
can deliver packages." "Then I'll find out".
After Mrs blaze has finished eating, Erica massaged her leg. "Dear you do too much for me, I think I should start paying you". "No ma, it's charity and after here if dusk hasn't come I'll still go to other places." "Do you have a job?". "I'll soon get one, but for now Charity is my job and also ma I won't be Coming tomorrow because there's another competition." "Okay". "but if we finish early I'll still come." "No problem my dear".
Erica left afterwards she saw Reema at home, 4pm. "Why are you home by now Sis?".
"My Boss wants to kill me before my time".
