NEXT DAY≈MORNING>BLOCK 11**
“You may come in, am all covered up!!”the door was pushed open, and a lady who she suspected to be a maid, walked in.
She had huge shopping bags in her hands, the content unknown.
She had woken up earlier on, still baffled about everything that’s going on around her.
“The boss asked me to give this to you, here!”she handed the bags over to her, bowed slightly, and then walked out.
Gracious stared at the bags in confusion, she really needs to know the identity of the “infamous“ person giving her preferential treatments.
She opened up the bag and was dumbfounded, when she realized the bags were all filled up.
in,side the bags were branded gowns, blouses and jeans in different colors, sizes and styles.
“Are they expecting me to put this on?”she threw the bags to the floor, rose to her feet and stormed out of the room.
She walked through the stretched hallway, making her way to the living room, so she could make things clear.
As she placed a feet on the staircase, she caught the muffled sounds of the blaring television set.
There must have been someone in there, but whoever it was must not have heard her, because of the white noise.
She poked her head through the exposed holes in between the stairs, a man she pegged in his early “fifties“, was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a copy of “Newspaper”.
He was dark haired, handsome in a sulky sort of way, with a mouth way to wide.
His l-ips was bright red and lashes were so thick, she thought they must be false, lol.
He was wearing black pants and a white shirt, topped with a smart grey blazer.
She descended the stairs slugglishly, gripping the elm of her skirt, that prevented her from moving a bit fast.
“I thought you weren’t going to come down, what took you so long?”gracious shivered at his whiskey-soaked voice, making a pause two steps before she gets to the ground.
She flicked a look over her shoulder, it’s not that she was frightened, but his voice sounded like one who was clipped and filled with rage.
“Who are you?”he tilted his head towards her, and when she got a perfect view of his face, her brows scrunched up.
He wasn’t in any way familiar, she could swear she’s never seen him before, but why the sudden niceness towards her.
He gifted her a house with an excuse that the hostel isn’t good enough for her, and now he bought her a whole boutique, what the h*ll is going on!.
She heard a car pull into the driveway, and turned in time to the partly opened windows, to s₱0t a pink colored jeep.
The driver made his way out, clutching a white fluffy pup to himself, and as he came through the gate separating the pool from the mansion, three little children made a run at him and pilled into his legs, the pup bouncing along like a basketball.
Much squealing and hugging, punctuated by the dog’s shrill barks, the man extracted himself and headed to the door, combing his hair with his fingers and tugging in the tail of his shirt where the boys had pulled it loose.
“Quinn go get the door!!”a girl in her twenties ran out immediately, and wasted no time in opening the door.
“Good morning, boss!” with some enthusiasm, to her, he replied in a tone as flat as a tumbler of two-day-old Coke.
He jammed his hands into his pants pocket, and brought out a key held by a fancy “key holder“.
He stretched his hand towards the man, handing it over and the pup too, he snatched it instantly, before waving him off.
“Come closer child, don’t be scared, i don’t bite”gracious took in her bottom lip, and stared at the stairs once more, before moving closer to him.
“Who are you?”she asked yet again, and the man chuckled lightly, before straying to her face with the same veiled amusement.
“You’re one curious child, why don’t you get yourself comfy and have a quick chat with me. Classes begin by eight, so literally, you have thirty minutes more!”he gestured to the empty space beside him, and she swallowed hærd at nothing, before placing half of her butt cheeks on it.
“You so much look alike, you have his nose and sparkling eyes!”she felt a tingle of uneasiness run down her spine, as his gaze was fixed on her.
“Huh?”
“Am your uncle, the only brother of your father!!”her eyes w¡dened, and she stood up, and staggered back.
Her whole life an heavyweight has been placed on her, the fear of not having anyone to call “father“, weighed her down, even after finding out what resulted to her birth.
“What did you just say?”.

HOURS LATER≈GARDEN>HIDDEN VILLE HIGH**
The breeze shifted slightly, blowing gracious hair face, as she munched on her popcorn.
The bell rang several minutes ago,“break period over“, but it didn’t catch her attention.
“Are you being serious right now?, aren’t you coming in for history class”November strode to the wooden made bench, clutching a blue colored text book in her hands.
Whilst she piled books on her table, searching for her favourite pencil, she noticed gracious absence in class.
Who could have guessed her favourite s₱0t but her, she once told her about her love for nature, the garden was a perfect s₱0t.
“Gracious?”she tapped her shoulder, and the lost girl eyes turned to hers, a look of “confusion“ in her eyes.
“How long have you been here?,do you need something by the way”november playfully smacked her face with the back of her hand, then frowned deeply.
“I was really worried about you, when i realized you weren’t in class. Now we’re both gonna get punished because of your carelessness, what do you have in that “african“ brain of yours?”gracious placed the paper bag filed with popcorn on the bench, then rose to her feet.
“Am so sorry, it’s totally my fault for not pausing to glance at my wrist watch, forgive me nov!”november turned her back at her, and faked a frown.
“Apology not accepted, no!!”gracious chuckled at her friend’s childishness, then wrapped her hands around her shoulder.
Their friendsh¡p is too precious to be broken by her broken reality, she’s the only good person she’s got.
“I’ll explain everything to you later, can we go back to class now?”gracious entwined their hands, and nov’s face curled into a smile.
“Ok!,you won me back easily this time, but it won’t be so easy the next time!”they walked out of the garden in a hurry, their punishment awaits them.

MID-DAY>LEE RESTAURANT≈[CRUSTY CRAB]**
“Bethany you’ve really got to go, this can’t keep happening everytime you cook!”she sniffled in her tears, and loosened the apron with her hands, before placing it on the table.
It’s been two weeks since she’s been working in the sea food restaurant, and yet her skills haven’t improved one bit.
Customers request for “refunds“ after having a taste of her food, and the business is loosing a lot of money.
“Please don’t see me as a wicked person ok, you and i know the risk of having you here. My business might die, and i don’t want that!”she patted her shoulder, and the girl nodded in response.
The woman watched, as the girl picked up her purse and ran out in tears.
The ball wasn’t in her court, there was nothing she could do about the situation.
“Who’s got the prettiest woman in the world this way uhn?”she squinted her eyes properly, and almost thought they were deceiving her.
He was the last person she expected to see there, after stating “word“ by “word“ that he wasn’t in support of her so called “restaurant“.
“You’re here?, please tell me am dreaming!” he wrapped his hands around her waist, and k-issed the back of her hair.
“I missed you honey, i knew i’d find you here!”she roughly threw his hands off and faced him, placing her hands on her waist.
“You vowed never to step your feet into this establishment, so why are you here?”he stole a quick k-iss, and the workers began to murmur to themselves.
👥 Awww i wish my mum and dad were this calm and funny around each other.
👥 I never knew Mr Lee could be this r-omantic, this is quit and encouragement to confessing my feelings to ji-ho.
👥 Young lady, wake up from that dream of yours.He can never notice you ok, am more prettier!.
👥 What an amazing sight, awwwn!
👥 Ok!, ok, let’s get back to work.
“Don’t you dare touch me, are you sure you brushed today?” his eyes w¡dened, and she chuckled loudly.
“You haven’t told me what the matter is, i saw a girl running out of here in tears”.
She sighed exasperatedly.
“I need new helping hands, young girls who are very well trained in cooking, but i haven’t found “the one“ ok!”.
