' Don't men in Kampala greet women ? ' Mia asked herself when Lucas was gone from her sight.
In the moment Ava came back with a cup of coffee and another maid behind her carries chocolate biscuits snacks.
They put them before Mia.
" Please take that. " Ava sat back.
" Thank you.." Mia said and begun eating slowly.
Ava watched her and she smiled.
Finally Mia was led to her room after eating. " You will sleep here for now. " The maid who took her said.
" Thank you. I am Mia. " She said.
" I am Julian.." the maid said and left.
Mia got her bag to removed somethings she needed to go for a shower and after it she entered the bed and slept.
Ava was always home watching or doing some other simple things..she was from picking her embroidery when Lucas came from his room dressed in a narvy blue shirt well and smartly tucked in black fitting pants and white sneakers.
" Where are you going ? " Ava asked on seeing him.
" My two weeks of preparing to take over the company are done so I am going to be moving around for the remaining days. " Lucas said.
" Indeed you have studied hard for the past weeks.But you are very wise, You managed to complete reading all those documents. " Ava praised walking to him.
" I got the wisdom from you Mom. " Lucas joked making Ava to laugh. Lucas smiled in response.
" If your father hears me now I will be dead. " Ava said to him.
" Hahaha.." Lucas laughed and then pecked Ava on the cheeks.
" Mom, Bye.." He said after the peck and left immediately.
" Pecks are for White Moms, Never do that again.." Ava shouted for him to hear.
" I love you Mom.." Lucas yelled back when he was outside
" Love you too. " Ava said with a grin and sat again.
Mark was seated in his chair in his Boutique. He had started it immediately after his graduation and it was dealing in mainly suits and male outfits. For his age it was earning him alot of money and besides that he also came from a rich family.
He operated the boutique with other four employees. Two ladies and two men.
Mark was busy on his phone when he heard the voice. " Hi bro.." The voice was familiar and when he responded it was Lucas.
" Lucas ! " Mark called getting up to welcome him with a big smile.
" Have a seat ! " He said and Lucas sat on the arm chair next to him.
" Where have you been hiding these days ? I last saw you before Christmas " Mark asked.
" Man, I was home. Busy with studying the company. " Lucas said.
" Mpozi, You are taking over the Company ? " Mark asked.
" My father is unpredictable. He said he will make me the director first. " Lucas said
" Not a bad post. " Mark said.
" Man, I hate it. I also want to be independent and have my own business but my family can't let me. " Lucas said
" That's because you are the heir to the Makula Designers Company. " Mark said.
" Let's chill that. Are you free and we go out ? " Lucas asked.
" Of course I am always free. " Mark said.

Mia woke up at around 3pm after having enough rest. She left the room and walked around the house where everything was still surprising her. She was in the compound when she met Paula.
" Mia, You are awake ? " Paula asked
" I have had enough rest. " Mia said.
Paula was watering the flowers. " May I help ? ", Mia asked.
" No please. Madam may get angry if she sees you working. ",Paula said.
" Why ? " Mia frowned.
" You are a visitor here. All you have to do is go back to your room, have enough rest and wait for Lyton to go with you tomorrow. " Paula said.
" Ooh, I am not visitor. I came to work too. " Mia said..
" They told us. You will be working at the Company. How lucky you are! " Paula said.
" It's God's grace. " Mia said.
Paula smiled and continued cleaning. " I am.. , Paula, May I ask something ? " Mia questioned.
" What is it ? " Paula asked looking back at her.
" Don't men from this region greet women ? " Mia asked.
Paula almost laughed at the weird question Mia asked. " What do you mean ? " Paula asked.
" Since I came here, All of you greeted me plus madam herself. But , There's this tall man who came. He didn't say anything at all. " Mia argued.
Paula could no longer hold her laughter and she burst out and laughed.
" Why are you laughing ? " Mia asked feeling embarrassed.
" Mia, You are so funny.." Paula said between her laughter and after calming down she said.
" Are you talking about Lucas ? " Paula asked.
" He is Lucas ? " Mia asked.
" He is Lyton's young brother. ",Paula said.
" Lyton's young brother ? You must be kidding. " Mia argued.
" He just came back from America. " Paula said in a whisper. " Don't be surprised, He has no manners. He is the most annoying person here. "
Mia listened. " Really ? " She asked lowering her voice too.
" You are going to work in the same company with him. So, You will surely witness it. " " Paula said.
" No wonder he looked at me arrogantly. " Mia said.
" But we all like it. He is hot, I am crushing on him " Paula spoke with excitement.
" What do you mean by crushing ? And hot ? " Mia asked with confusion.
" Mia..." Paula called and laughed again
" You mean you have never had a crush on someone ? " Paula asked..
" I don't when know what the word means. " Mia argued.
Paula started finding Mia interesting and she stopped laughing.
" You are so naive. How do I explain to you ? " Paula asked herself and after thinking hard she said.
" Okay, It's a feeling of admiring someone. Like...wishing to be with them. And making love together. " Paula said which put a Puzzle on Mia.
" Are you talking about love ? " Mia asked.
" Oh my God ! no ! What I mean ? Okay like I with I could do it with him. " Paula said.
" Do what ? " Mia asked.
Paula became speechless on realizing that Mia was not understanding what she was trying to explain.
