Hazel was helping her father take his medicines when she heard her phone ring.
she answered the call only to hear a seemingly excited voice from the other end of the call
it didn't even take her a second to know who it was... Kate was so excited as she spoke to Hazel..
girl!! we need to talk"..I got great news for you my dear.. let's meet at the cafe later and talk"..
hazel agreed, and with that ended the call..
it was around noon that the two ladies were sitted in the cafe...
Kate signaled for the waiter to come which he did..
he handed them a menu with a polite smile and walked away..
Kate looked through to find something to order, but hazel on the other hand had a troubled expression on her face..
Kate noticed and Asked her, hazel? what's wrong"? Hazel looked at Kate somewhat embarrassed..
K..Kate, every meal on this menu is exorbitant. I can't afford any.. hazel said in a low voice ...
Kate "..."
Kate sighed almost rolling her eyes.. hazel? since when do you start seeing me as a stranger?" Hazel looked at her confused but Kate continued... as long as am here you have nothing to worry about" .. I gotcha sis.
soon the girls where done eating their meals when Kate finally broke the news to Hazel..
she told her how she overheard her colleagues talking about her boss needing some maids and the salary was quite good, so she thought of telling Hazel since she needed the money and refused help from her
hazel, this is a big catch, you are gonna earn a lot but the only problem is ..."
Kate hesitated a bit before continuing,
she said in a low tone.. this boss of mine, he is cold and ruthless so be careful not to get on his bad side ... hazel stared at her unsure of what to say before finally nodding her head.
the girls spent the rest of the day chatting till they departed..
hazel got home feeling a little relieved.
she removed her shoes and saw her father sitting in the living room seemingly lost in thoughts ..
she quietly went to hug her father from behind
dad, what are you thinking about?".. hazel asked while taking space beside her father
her father held her hand with sadness in his eyes. "my precious girl, my beautiful miracle daughter am so sorry to put you in this situation, I should be your source of strength but look at me now.,,
I have failed you hazel.."
Mr Robert said with tears rolling down his face. he loved his daughter so much and she was the only one he had after her mother's death
he promised his wife Victoria, that he'll take care of their daughter but now he feels he has failed her too.
Hazel was so heartbroken to see her father like this she felt her eyes burn with tears, and with a broken voice she said to her father..
DAD no!!! p... please don't say that.. she fought to hold back the tears and couldn't control the pain in her heart.
she loved her father dearly he was always very strong and now seeing him like this, she just couldn't....Hazel hugged her father and sobbed in his arms..
after what seemed like some time the two now stabilized their emotions they just sat there ,both lost in their own thoughts.
hazel received a notification on her phone and it was from Kate
Kate sent her the address and details of the job..
hazel replied with a "noted" and sighed
she told her father about the job Kate mentioned to her..
her father was skeptical but Hazel assured him that she'll be fine and that she was only worried about him since she will be gone during the day.. Mr Roberts assured her that he'll be fine ..
and with that they both went to bed
