In the room which was beautifully design as it was the taste of Thea. Layla lay on the bed going through her phone while Thea was on a call at the same time she was arranging for the mini vacation she has with Layla. They decided to go to beach since it been a while.
Layla was staring at her dad pictures, it been litrally seven years and few month now that her father died. She has her mum, her brother and a step dad who she thought was her dad and later on she found out that she had another dad and she left her home just to stay with this man and since she left home she has not seen her mum. Her father had an accident while traveling out for business. She will never forget those moments In her life. She was almost done with high school preparing for the final exams, when she got the news. She really did not know anyone from her dad side so she really did not know where to start looking from and her mum has no idea, it was probably a one night stand buy they knew themselves but immediately she found out she was pregnant, she left the country and go back to where she was and did not tell him about the pregnancy not until he came to their home town for a business and saw her and immediately knew I wa his child.
She know her dad was a chauffeur and because of that she had lot of opportunities even when he died. He travel out of the country both with her mostly when she not busy, went to good schools, even her higher education she studied outside of the country. It was called a scholarship program maybe because of her excellent good grades. She tried looking for information about where her father do work but all was useless.
Thea came into thier lives few months before her father passed away and those moment was really fun. Thea mother would alway disguised herself to their house so that her husband won't find out and bring food for them. When her father passed away she was always caring for them. They both went to the same schools all their years and decides to come back to LA. She was done with schooling at an early age and now she currently 22. She met her Ex back at school tho it was fun when they were on school but every since they came back his attitude change based on the family business and other idea he has to do to be successful and not until recently.
When she got back to LA, she never visited her family, her mum brother or step dad but she definitely get a lot of a calls from them. The place she and Thea has been staying was where her dad rented but since her dad died, the land lady has always been generous and never for once collected the rent. The old lady keep bringing food and not collecting a dine from them. When she decides to pay the old lady said her father already bought the house before he died, but how could he afford to buy a house like he knew he was going to die.
Layla felt she has not been able to feed for herself without no one trying to help her, even her dead dad was helping her. She decided to move out even tho Thea insisted, Thea mum found an apartment for them but she wanted to start life on her own so she did not accept, she felt like a burden to everyone helping her, she even got jobs through her dead dad connection but she still wonder why those who her dad works for was helping her but she has no idea who they where. Thea's mum always tried helping but she did not accept the favour.
Life has been hard for her, she finally got an apartment but it was Luca who gave her the apartment, she paid just for a year. Luca did not want to accept the payment so he used the money to get things she needed in the apartment for her. She got a job from her father friend, they were not really close tho. It seems her dad did not have any friend at least they say hi once in a while and that was how she got the receptionist job. Because of him, mr William she was able to become Mr Logan assistant.
"Hey" Thea brought her back from her imagination world. "Thinking about your dad again". Layla rub her eyes to avoid the tears from coming out and she sat up right "there is still lot of time for this parking you are doing ". She threw a cloth to Thea and stood up and left the room.
"I am hungry " Layla shouted from the kitchen after checking there was nothing left to eat. She walk back into the room and look at Thea with a bright shinning face, without saying anything Thea cut her short. "Believe me when I say am not going to help you prepare noodles ".
Like she already knew what Layla wanted, she immediately went down on her kneels "please, like you know that what am craving".Thea brought out her phone to check her order "I already order chicken and chips it will be here soon".
Layla shouted "ahhhh" and went to the bed "after all my teaching on how to cook noodles and other stuff, you still can't cook anything just pasta ". They both laughed "Don't you dare blame me, cooking is way too stressful". The sound of the door bell interrupted them and Thea without wasting any much time she ran out to get her order.
She opened the door only for her to see an very big carton outside with a guy who was definitely not here for the chicken, she peep outside to check if she will see a delivery guy who got something much worth eating but she did not them she faced the guy "you are with my chicken right ".
The guy gave a smirk "from Eva stores" he gave her a booklet "miss layla please". Thea looked the guy then back to the big carton and collected the book "layla you got a delivery" she shouted, she signed and returned the book back to the guy. "what in the carton" she examined the carton because it wqa really big, what could layla has order that it was this big. "Probably bags".
" can you please help me getting it inside". He nodded help hee carried it inside and left. She look through the hallway to check if she will see a delivery guy but it was empty " what taking them so long". she close the door and went inside. " but I did not order for anything especially not this big". Layla said while looking at the cartoon. "It from Eva's stores" Layla tried thinking, she was sure in the stores yesterday and after having to fight with Harper, she got the bag which she was not sure if she paid or not and she was surly she did not order anything else.
Thea try opening the carton with something "wait". Layla stop her from opening it "what if it is a trap, maybe from your dad". Thea laugh "don't be ridiculous"then she stop "what if it from Luca or". She tried thinking of who would send some huge carton to them this early " or your mum finally delivers your brother to you ". Layla laugh really hard because she could not think that was possible.
Thea opens the cartoon and brought out the reciept "jezz, 25000 dollars "she shouted and started going through the bags. Layla immediately ran to the room to get her phone as she want through her account details. "My balance still remains the same"she took the receipt from Thea as she kept looking at the bag then she decides to call, she dial the number on the receipt and after a while the she could hear someone from the other end.
"D embro" she shouted as she holds the bag in front of her, it was a sky blue bag, and it was looking very beautiful and unique. "The only bag in LA, how did you get it Layla". Layla was done making the call and she was still shocked " she said is either I ordered the bags or someone ordered them for me". She went to check the bags "maybe you already have a crush". They both went through the bags.
"Same thing with yesterday, they said I paid for what I took but my account was not debited". She was still not sure of what was going on "or maybe it was Luca". Thea dropped the bag she was holding and gave her annoying look "are you for real right now, you can call him and he will tell you he has nothing to do with it "she went back to digging back to the bags, Layla phone rang and she checked who was calling "Thea" she raise her head and she showed her the phone.
"Why is he calling "Thea was already having a bad feelings, she thought her mini beach vacation was going to be ruined. She answered the phone call and without saying anything in less than one minutes he was done talking and he hang the call. "arrgh, he did nt even allow me to say a word ".
"Why was he calling" it was like the phone call already ruin her mood "he wants me to get the information I got about mr Allen to his place". The door bell rang "already, wa it not last night he told you to get the information". She went toward the door and open it "finally the chicken is here ".
"Our plan is not yet ruined alright, I just need to get it to him, he did not say anything else, so don't worry". She went to the kitchen "I hope".
Layla wore a while shirt with a blue jacket and a short skit with a white snickers and she just got down from a taxi. She was with smalk coffee bag. As she walk into the office she went to the receptionist desk, she wave to her giving her a very bright smile "hi Amy " she smiled back "you are so lucky, you not been to work for two days while am here meeting different kinds of manners"
They both laughed "Am really surprised Mr Logan has not kicked you out yet. Layla thought about and she too did not know why, she has been really careless since she started. "Am also surprised". After talking for a while she asked about mr William and she went to his office.
She knocked on the door "you can come in", she slowly open the door and she just peep through the door to see what mr William was doing and both of their eyes met and she gave him a very pretty smile and walk in. " You know I have been thinking if I was dead". she slowly walk to him "you gave me a job that even don't create time for myself ".
She smiled at him an gave him what she brought for him "are you bribing me now". She brought out the coffee and the cake and kept it infront of him"if it what you call it, no problem then". He took the coffee "like you know what I really need right now". She went to sit down "Are you ok, I saw Luca and he said you two broke up".
"Don't mind that son of a bastard, he cheated on me". Mr William did not look so surprise "and I thought you two will give me grandkids soon". He joked around "and how is it with Mr Logan". She stood up from where she was sitting like she finally have the privilege to talk "it so stressful ".
They both talk for a while and she decided to go see the IT guy to get more information about mr Allen...
