" Are you deaf ? Come on, like I said, get out of here now !"
Annie spoke in a hostile manner, she was the exact opposite of her cute appearance.
" I knew this from the very beginning."
Stella was sure that she would have problems, especially after she heard it from Carla.
All the nannies were leaving after months and some of them left after days, it can be seen that the problem is not with them.
" I have to calm her down first, and then talk to her."
Annie lay down on her bed, to go back to sleep, she telling her, "Come on, would you like me to take you out myself ?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Stella pulled the blanket hard, then made her sit up, coldly saying," We should talk, it's not bedtime, Miss."
Annie shouted at her," Hey, you, what are you doing ?"
Stella replied indifferently," I'm just doing my job, come on, according to what they were told, now it's study time, so please have a seat at the table."
Annie also responded indifferently, saying," I won't do it, but I think you're the one who needs to study. Your level must be low, so you need it more than I ."
" She already act like her brother."
Stella felt that she would bring trouble to herself as a result of this, so she decided to leave her alone for the day.
" Well, today we will postpone studying, but if this happens tomorrow too, then I'm afraid I will tell your grandfather."
" Huh, you're going to tell who ? Let's see who will believe you."
Carelessly Stella walked out of the room, while she was heading to her room, she heard that Mrs. Loran is not at home.
" That's why the naughty one acted this way, I have to think of a way to get along with her, otherwise I'll be in trouble."
Annie remained seated in her room, pushed aside by the weight of her thoughts.
" I have always been this way, the one of other's sympathy."
From her earliest years, Annie grappled with adversity ; her albinism set her apart, subjecting her to ridicule from peers. Compounding her struggles was the painful story
Of her mother's departure following her parents' divorce. Two years later, she mourned the loss of her father to illness.
Amidst the whispers of servants, Annie caught wind of their discussions, often centered on her mother, and how she was cruel
" All those idiots, they claim that they want to help me, on the basis that they don't just want the money."
The next morning, Stella came back to her again, knocked quietly on the door and no one answered.
" Well then don't open the door."
She had the other key to the room with her. Stella came in to find that all the windows were closed with curtains, so she went and opened them for sunlight to enter.
Even though Annie was still covering herself with the blanket and didn't want to get up, Stella calmly said," Good Morning, little Miss, come on, it's time to get up."
Annie replied in a wavering tone," I told you yesterday to leave, what brought you back to my room ?"
Stella pulled the cover and said in a firm tone," Get up from your place first and I will tell you."
Annie sat down and said, " Here you are, get up, tell me, you annoying."
Stella replied indifferently," Oh really ? I'm sorry to bother you, but there are things you should do first before telling you, little."
Annie, " For your information, I am not going to do what you say."
Stella acted as if she didn't hear what she said, and approached her.
Annie said with surprise," What are you doing ?"
Without a preamble, Stella carried her out of bed by force.
Annie screamed," Crazy, what are you doing ?"
" Your size is much smaller than your age."
She sat down on the chair, then went to open the closet, saying, " What dress would you like to wear today ?"
Annie nervously replied, "I want nothing, except to get out of my face."
Stella did not care and pulled out a purple dress," This looks appropriate for today."
" This is the worst color ever, where is your taste ?"
" But it looks very proportional to the color of your eyes and beautiful skin."
Annie said with surprise, " Beautiful ?"
Stella, " Yes, beautiful. Come on now, get up to help you put it on, we are going out today."
" Who did you get permission from for this ? I'm not going anywhere with you."
" She does not like going out because she's an albino, has an issue with sunlight, but no problem, I have a solution."
She went and sat beside her, saying sadly, "You know, you remind me of someone I know."
Annie completely ignored her, but she continued the conversation," In my childhood, when I was about the same age as you, I had a friend, who was close to me. She and I spent most of the time together because she liked to go out and play a lot. But after a while, she no longer comes out the same."
Annie asked indifferently, " Why ?"
"She can't anymore because of her illness.I was always visiting her, I thought she was bored, but always said she was fine, she would recover and we would go out to play again."
"And what happened next ?"
"After her…" Before Stella finished, someone entered the room.
The person who came was Mrs. Loran, with her usual smile.
" Oh, what do I see ? Are you going out ?"
Stella replied tactfully, " Yes if you will allow it."
She replied with a laugh,"Of course, I will allow it, but I should know dear Annie's opinion about it."
Stella looked at Annie, with a sideways glance, as if saying that they had to go out if she wanted to hear the rest of the story.
Annie hesitated at first but eventually replied," Yes, I'm going out today."
" Then, I will leave you to prepare yourself now."
After the grandmother hugged her granddaughter ,she went to take a break with Hannah.As Stella told her, Annie wore a dress, but not that purple one, she chose one in sky blue instead.
" What a stubborn child she is !"
