It was half pass five and the alarm on my phone began to ring and I turned it off because I was too sleepy to wake up.it kept on ringing continually till I was awaken and turned it off. I pecked my mom on her brow, took my handbag and headed home to get ready for work. Within a few minutes I reached the house, took a quick shower, dress up and picked some clothes for my mum. On my way to the hospital, I had a call from my mum, and I answered
''Hello mum''
''hello, where are you''
''I just left the house; I went to dress up for work and picked up some stuff for you''
''Oh okay'
''How are you doing'' I asked
''I am feeling better today''
''That's good news'' I said with a relief voice
''Yes, so see you soon''
''okay bye''
I watched through the window with teary eyes glancing outside as the trees bent under the fierce winds, wondering when I 'll be free from all these predicaments, I suddenly burst into tears so loud that the youngster sitting next to me felt concerned and tapped me saying
''madam, are you alright''
''yes, I am fine'' I replied with a tearful voice
''Are you sure madam''
''Yes, am fine; am fine okay''
''okay, I think your phone is buzzing in your bag you better check''
''Oh okay''
I wiped the tears running on my checks with my hands, remove the phone and answer the call
''Hello Kelsey'' I said cheerfully as if nothing happened
''I been calling you for some time now, but you weren't answering''
''Yeah, I didn't hear the phone ringing
''Okay, hope you're fine
''Yes, am good, have you reached the airport already?
'' Yes, I just arrived. My dad is already here, we are exiting the entrance to board a car home, so I'll meet you at the club tomorrow''
''okay. See you tomorrow''
''Can't wait, bye'' she said blissfully
I placed my phone in my bag, wave the kid goodbye and got off the bus walking towards the hospital entrance to the counter and checked in. she reached her room to find out she was not in bed, she placed her stuff on the couch and was leaving the room whiles holding her phone in her hand about to call her mom when she heard her calling from behind on the verandah
''Brianna! Brianna! Hold on''
''I turned my head whiles saying ''mom where have you been, I was going to work since I didn't find you in your room.
''I went to the washroom, has your friend called you?''
''No, not yet but I will be expecting her call. Anyways Kelsey has arrived''
''Ohh, that's good to hear''
''Yeah, can't wait to see her. so, I'll be on my way now. Take care of yourself'' I said lyrically
''Okay, have a nice day''
In no time Brianna reached the club, greeted her colleagues and went into the washroom to put on her work attire. On her way she saw two ladies standing in front of the mirror whispering to each other saying
''I heard the boss's daughter is in town and he wants to force her to marry Mr. Leon ''
''What! She exclaimed. How does he plan on doing that because they don't know each other''
''well, I don't know about that''
''Also, Brianna wanted to marry a lowly guy that she was dating during her school years, but the father didn't approve that's why she's here''
'' Do you think Brianna and Mr. Leon will make an inextricate couple''
''if they don't like each other, it will be easy to separate them but let's see how his plans will unfold''
Brianna creeped behind the door as the ladies passed by. She then makes her way to the washroom dazing about what she heard. She hurriedly changes her clothes and puts them in her locker and walk briskly to the counter to deliver an order.
AT MR. RAYMOND'S HOUSE
They finally reach the house, and Kelsey gets out of the car watching round the vast compound whiles the maids remove her bags from the car and sends them to her room. Her dad walks to stand by her side also watching round and asks her
''what do you think about these new renovations''
''I think they are so beautiful and lovely, what I like most are the flowers because they are of different varieties ''
''Why don't we go inside I have a very big surprise for you, and I know you'll love it ''
''Kelsey hurries into the room and to her surprise she sees a…..
