Grandma: How did it go??
Me: I got a well paying job and an apartment
Grandma: Really!!
Me: Yes auntie, Daisy go to your room I want to take to grandma alone
Daisy: Okay mummy *runs to her room*
Grandma: Tell me how it went
Me: I saved a guy yesterday, he tired to take me to the hospital to check if I was okay so I won't blackmail him, I got offended by the word 'Blackmail' I left the scene immediately I got home feeling exhausted daisy gave me $1k saying a generous man gave it to her and even tipped Lucy $100, he also gave daisy his business card and told her to bring me to his company, I think daisy told him about my financial issues.
Grandma: Okay, go on
Me: He gave me a well paying job and a apartment as a little appreciation for raising a well behaved girl how saved him and returned his mother necklace to his sister
Grandma: Oh My God, Gracie God has answered our prayers, you have suffered alot these years it's not time to eat the fruit of your labour, don't let this opportunity slide
