Naomi and Ardi left tisha's diner after Naomi forced him to compliment tisha's dishes. I really enjoy myself. Naomi said. Yeah. So what are you going to do about your friends? He asked. I'm going to make things right. She said as he just nodded. It's good that your going to make things right. If you need any help just call me. He said as they arrived at her car. Of course I'll call you. She said as she sighed. What's wrong? He asked. I really don't want to go home now. Can't we just hang out a little bit? She asked as he smiled. We could but I have to run an errand. He said. Why must you run errands now? She whined. Some of us have to work just so we can survive princess. He said as she sighed. Well, you're right. See you when next we meet then. She said as she entered her car and drove off.
************************************Naomi was still driving her car when she dropped by a café. She really didn't feel like going home anytime soon. Immediately she entered inside, the bell at the entrance rung to signify someone entered as she went straight to a table at a far end. Good day miss. What can I get you? The waitress asked. Good day to you. Naomi said smiling. I'll need a cheese Danish along with instant coffee. Please it should be creamy. She said as the lady nodded and left. Miss whitmoore. Naomi heard as she rolled her eyes. She wasn't in the mood to meet with anybody she knew. It looks like her luck wasn't in her favor today. She turned to see the family lawyer. How are you Peter? She asked as he buttoned his suit jacket and sat opposite her. I'm good. Thanks for asking and you? He asked. As you can see, I'm good. Just wasn't expecting anybody I know. She said bluntly as he smiled. I noticed. He said sipping his coffee as their order was brought. So what are you doing here? She asked as he cocked his brows. I'm supposed to be asking you that. Peter said as Naomi became confused. My firm is just a block away. Look around. Everyone here is either working in a firm or a client. Peter said as she came to a realization. I can see you have a lot in your mind. Care to share? He asked. Nothing to do with you. She said sipping her coffee as he smiled. I suppose I should have already gotten used to you by now seeing as you are your father's daughter. He said as she smiled at the mention of her father. So, how's work? She asked. Moving successful and would soon become number one or should I say the best. He stated. Of course it should. It's why we chose and donated our money to your firm. She said taking a bite at her cheese. I believe we aren't wasting our money? She asked as letter adjusted his glasses. Yes ma. You aren't. He confirmed as she nodded. Good. She said focusing on what she eating. But there is something I don't understand Naomi. He said. What do you mean? She asked. You're mum constantly sends money to a Mr. Steven. Are you aware of that? He asked. Not that I know of. She shrugged. Naomi look, as he adjusted his glasses. You're farther gave a his properties to you. The school, hospital and even Lavinia enterprises. Don't you think you need to step up and own it. Maybe he gave you for a reason. Peter said as she looked at him. I trust my mum. She won't do anything to harm the business. Naomi said. But Naomi… I'm in no position to take advice from an ordinary family lawyer. I won't question my mother's ways of handling the business as I've not seen any problem. She said as he huffed. You know what? She asked as picked her bag. I'll go first. Do greet your girlfriend for me. She said dropping a ward of cash on the table and leaving. Everyone is just being reckless. He said ordering another cup of coffee
*********************†**************She came home to the house full. Almost everyone was present. Sonia was showing the stuffs she bought to her kids. Mary looked less concerned, while Marcus looked like he wasn't supposed to be there. Uncle Gerald was just being uncle Gerald. Answering important business calls. Uncle Tom and aunt Melody were talking and laughing holding what looked like hot cocoa drink in their hands. Nelly was oh her phone while resting her legs on the table while aunt Sandra ordered a maid to polish her toe nails. Emily and Max were both playing chess with a bottle of beer each by their side. Naomi my daughter. You're back. Cynthia said sitting on a chair which was meant for only the head of the house. Good evening mum. She said pecking her mum on the cheeks. I suppose you had a wonderful day? Her mother asked smiling at her. You could say that. She said looking at everyone. Mum, what's going on? She asked. What do you mean, my dear? Her mum asked. Why is everyone gathered here? Is everything alright? She asked. Does the atmosphere look like there's a problem? Nelly asked still on her phone. Aunt has called for a family meeting. Max said. For what? Naomi asked looking at her mother. Aunt ordered pizza. It looks like we're having a family movie night which is sweet but I still prefer to read my books in my room where it would be quiet. Mary said as Marcus groaned. Since you're all prepared, I'll go change. Naomi said going to her room.
Pizza delivery. Max shouted coming in with the pizza boxes as everyone rejoiced. This is what I'm talking about. Sandra said taking a box for herself. Save one for me. Naomi said running down the stairs. There's enough to go for everyone and it would still remain. Melody said as they all took their place to watch the movie the kids chose. The movie is about to start so no one should…. Shhhh… everyone should shushing Emily. Ok, I get it. She said sipping her beer as Max nudged her.
