A black jeep stopped at the front of edie and Kate's apartment. Dave and another man, both in black suits came out. Dave walked over and knocked on the door.
"coming" Kate's voice was heard. Seconds later, the door was opened.
"good day miss, i am dave"
"hello there" kate had a bright smile
"is miss edie home, i was sent by mr dravis to retrieve her lugagges"
"oh that, i would tell her that. Just a minute" kate closed the door.
***
"edie" Kate's voice rang in the aoartment" get your damn butt up"
"hmmm" edie twitched her lips"let me get some more sleep "
" EDIE, GET. YOUR. ASS. UP" kate screamed making edie wake up immediately.
"is.. Is the house on fire kate" edie mumbled panicking
Kate nearly bursted into laughter when she saw edie's innocent expression.
"mr dravis sent people to retrieve your luggages"
"oh" was all edie uttered before getting up.
***
"sorry for keeping you waiting" kate smiled"pls come in"she gestured Dave
Dave gave a curt nod before walking in.

At the airport in country A, a woman who had the same feature as nathan was seen walking over to a black suv
"mrs stone, welcome back to country A" the driver gave a curt nod.
"thanks kim" she smiled. Although she kept a stony expression, she had a cheerful aura.

Outside Nathan's apartment, the staffs were seen arranged in a straight line. A black jeep drove into the compound, earning everyone's attention.
Dave stepped out of the jeep once it came to an halt. As a gentleman, he opened the door for edie to step out.
Edie was mesmerized by the beautiful garden of the big mansion.
"miss Edie" Dave called.
"mr dave" she gave a curt nod"sorry, i was distracted"
Dave smiled briefly before he spoke"pls come with me" he gestured.
Edie walked behind dave. Behind edie was a man in his late forties and three maids carrying her luggages.
"miss Edie, he is Carlos" he gestured at the man in his late forties.
"hello miss edie" he had a bright smile
Edie gave a curt nod
The interior of the mansion was big. The color used to paint the house was grey 'who the heck paints the house grey' she scoffed in her mind.
The living room was huge with a big tv, three couches and a table at the center of the room.
"pls take miss Edie to her room" dave ordered.
***
"you can leave that, I'll do it myself" she smiled. The maids left the room.
Edie sat on the bed feeling a little tired. She had not slept well all because of kate. Yes kate.
She took out her phone to give the later a call.
"Edie" kate loud voice echoed in the silent room
"for crying out loud kat, can you pls be more composed" edie complained
"forget about that" kate shrugged it off" how's mr dravis place"
"normal"
"what normal? Luxuriously normal or what" kate whined.
Edie rolled her eyes "kat, it's a normal house. How about i video call you"
***
"wow your room's big" kate beamed
"yea" was all edie said. Kate suddenly had a sad expression "what's wrong Kat why are you suddenly down"
"hw do I pay for the rental Ed"
"dont worry about that, we will both pay for it"
"thanks"

Nathan walked into his house with Carlos walking behind.
"mr dravis, miss edie's in her room" Nathan gave a curt nod as he walked over to edie's room.
He knocked on the door thrice but still no response. Slowly, he opened the door, there, he found her curled on the bed.
It was the first time he saw her without her glasses. Her wavy brown hair sprawled around the bed, giving him full view of her face. She looked cute.
He noticed her mumbling a few words as a frown was vivid on her face. He moved closer as he sat on her bed.
"pls.. Pls help me anna" a tear drop escaped her eyes.
