LTH COMPANY.
Thanks to Kristen, Griffin had to come in late. The elevator took him to the meeting hall. Immediately he got in, they all stood up as they bowed in respect. He sat down which they also did at the sign Dante gave.
"You can start"he said and the meeting started.
It's about the new car they'd be launching. "The color, any idea on changing it?"he asked.
"Well sir, we only have a car with this colour, so I think using it won't be bad"the lady on it said.
"We'll go for a change of it, everything else is perfect. Get the colour changed and fix a date for the launching"he said and stood up which they also did, but they bowed till he was out.
"Quick and easy, that's how he is"a lady said.
"Perfection is what he needs"another one said.
"I think he was a god or something"a man said and it continued as they kept laying out their comments.
Liliana ran in immediately. "Is it over!?"she asked with fast breathe but they all ignored her as they walked out.
"Can you ever stop with your late habit"a guy said to her as he handed her coffee. "Thanks Mile, it really isn't easy"she said.
"You had a child?"he said as they walked out also.
"A child would have been better, I had a drink with my bestie, we both can't drink much but we'd eventually and this is what we get. I really hope she made it"she said.
"You need to see a priest or a therapist same with your bestie. I'll see you around. I've got work"he said and went through another line. She sighed as she brought out her phone to call Kristen. But Kristen didn't pick up. "Hope she's fine"she muttered and began walking to her shared office.

ISLAND.
"Miss!"the maid earlier kept tapping Kristen gently but she's not planning on waking soon.
Well, she fell asleep immediately she lay on the bed.
"Miss!"the maid tap her face and she sat up instantly. "It's time to pick the kids"she said.
"Oh my! Did I sleep this long!"she jumped down. "Let's go"she faced the maid.
"Wash your face at least"the maid said and she walked to the bathroom. It's almost same size with the room itself. "Money, I don't think my recent way of living would make me rich! I'm sorry my future kids, momma can't do it"she muffled as she raised her face. She picked an hand towel which she used in cleaning her face.
"All done"she came out but the maid isn't in the room anymore. She walked out of the room, meeting the maid in the living room, cleaning.
"But you cleaned in the morning"Kristen said but just as expected, the maid didn't say a thing.
"It's fine then, don't talk to me and it's not like I'm dying to talk to you, I have a best friend"Kristen said.
"The driver has been waiting"the maid said and she scoffed, walking away. "She really knows what to say"she muttered.

AN HOUR LATER.
"What did you cook for us? Minnie asked as she pulled off her uniform.
"Cool?"Kristen asked.
"Yes, we're heading to the dinning after showering"Millie said and she gasped, dropping Minnie's uniform and ran out.
She can't believe she slept for so long, forgetting to prepare something for them. The thought of Griffin face made her hasten her steps. Getting to the kitchen, she threw five noodles into the pot which was already on the gas cooker.
"Pretty face!"Minnie called and she shaked her head in agreement that it's an illusion but when she felt hand on her leg, she knew it wasn't.
"How did you get here?"she asked.
"We walked off course"Millie said and she laughed awkwardly. "I'm making lunch"
"You ran out of our room and it got us worried, did something happen?"Minnie said.
"I wasn't worried though, I just don't want my dad's property to get destroyed"Millie said and she scoffed.
"It's nothing dear, let's go pick a dress for you"she carried Minnie and stucked out her tongue to Millie. Dropping Minnie on a chair.
"You should sit'"she said and walked back to the kitchen. "Geez Kristen, you're gonna get fired before a week"she groaned as she put off the gas. She didn't even put anything in the noodles and it's already dried out.
She quickly took it down, then settled for slicing of carrots.
Minutes later, she was done, serving the kids. "Amazing pretty face, you're the best chef"Minnie said with a mouthful.
"Thanks cutie"
"I'm calling Dad, I don't like you"Millie said.
"Come on Millie, you just have to try to like her"Minnie said.
"Stop talking"she stood up but just as she tried walking away, Kristen lifted her up, rolling her in process.
"Drop me down!!"she screamed but Kristen and Minnie kept laughing. Unfortunately, she felt dizzy due to it and slept off. Kristen stopped a while after she did, not noticing she slept off.
"Oh my Millie!"Minnie shouted.
"Milk or chocolate, which does she like best?"Kristen asked.
"Milk"
Kristen got milk from the kitchen and poured little into her mouth. Slowly, Millie stucked out her tongue licking off the stains of milk on her lip.
"Get up if you're done"Kristen said and she slowly stood up, her eyes moving to that of Minnie and Kristen.
"You shouldn't try to pretend to die!"Minnie shouted.
"I didn't, I felt dizzy and slept off"she said and faced Kristen. "I'm still telling dad"she frowned.
"Then there won't be sweet food for you and most importantly, you'd miss my food"she said with the same face Minnie had.
"There are many better chef our there!"
"I'm a rare gem"she said.
"Tell her to stop keeping with my words!"Millie screamed frustrated while they both laughed.
"Not funny"Minnie jumped off the table she's on, picking her plate of noodles, she ran away.
"That's my food you're with!"Kristen laughed alongside with Minnie.
