Chapter 3 & 4

Simeons driver took off.
“Home right.”
“No, not really, my parents would totally fire Mr. Johnny.”
“So it’s my house then.”
“I guess.”
Minutes later they arrived at Simeon’s house.
It was just as big as Gretel’s house.
Immediately the car dropped, some maids ran over to them. One of them took Simeon’s bag from his hands.
He grabbed Gretel’s hand and they walked into the main building. Gretel sat down in the parlour.
“Where are your parents?”
“I stay alone.”
“What?”
(He smiles)
“You’re going to catch a cold.”
He called one of the maids.
“Sir.”
“My friend here would like a hot bath thank you.”
Simeon stood up and walked towards his room
The maid turned to Gretel
“Pls follow me,”(She Said to gretel)
“Oh ok.”
She followed the Maid and just as she left, her phone started ringing Mr. John the driver was calling her
Simeon on his part quickly took his bath, he wore his slippers with a pair of shorts.
He was looking for something to wear on top when Gretel barged into the room tying a white towel
“OMG sorry,” she tried walking out.
Simeon drew her back
“Hey its ok.” Simeon said dragging Gretel back.
“Did you take my uniform I can’t find it?”
“I think the maids are washing it.”
She tried rushing out again.
He drew her back again.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“Who, me? nervous, nooo.”
“Are you going to tie that towel home?”
“I was hoping to wear my uniform, didn’t know it was being washed so.”
“Lucky you I think I have female cloths here.”
He moved over to the cupboard and handed over a pretty short gown to her
“Thanks.”
Simeon stood looking at her
“Won’t you leave?” She asked
“Ok am leaving.”
He leaves the room
She quickly dressed up and rushed to the parlour where Simeon sat. She picked up her phone and saw the missed call
“My driver called.”
“Call him back then.”
She dialed the number
“Gretel where are you?”
“I am at a friends house, how is your son?”
“It is really bad he is in a coma.”
” I really liked that little boy I hope he will be fine.”
“me too, please text me the address”.
“Ok She dropped the call.”
“Hey text me the address so I can send it to my driver.”
“Ok.”
He texted her the address which Gretel forwarded to her driver
She sat back down facing the tv
“I am really curious about something.”
“What.”
“Who Is your boyfriend?”
“I don’t have a boyfriend”.
“That’s unbelievable.”
“My turn.”
“ok.”
“Who owns this gown?”
“My ex girlfriend”
“Wow that’s nice.”
“Yea,so do u need anything water, food?”
“No, don’t worry am ok.”
“If u say so.”
Minutes later they heard a car Horn outside
“My driver is here.”
“Good bye I will bring your uniform to school.”
“Yes I will return your girlfriends gown too.”
“ex”
“Just kidding.”
She rushed out and Simeon returned to his movie

******** Next morning (Danny’s Suite).

Danny walked into the dinning where Sandra already sat eating.
“Good morning.
“Please how’s my schedule?”
“The shoot starts by 10 and would end by 2 or 3 after that you are totally free.”
“Ok.”
Just then Danny’s phone rang it was Jennifer
“Hey honey.”
“Hey.
I know you are mad but I am so sorry I was just so tired I forgot to call.”
“It’s ok so how are you?”
“Fine how are you?”
“Am great hope you are comfortable.”
“Yes I am and even if I feel discomfort I just have to think of you right.”
“Of course.”
“So where are you?”
“Just walking out of the mall.”
“Ok I better go and get ready,” Danny said.
“Ok I love you,” Jennifer added.
“I will call you.”
He drops the call
He rushed into the bathroom and took his bath, he got ready and headed for the shoot.

************* 2:30 (Celine’s house)
Celine sat in the living room with her mother, she already counted and arranged the oranges she was to sell.
Just then her father came back. He wore a very long and pitiful face.
His wife stood up to him…
” why the long face , what happened. His wife asked.
” well he finally succeeded in locking down my shop.
Celine stood up on hearing this.
” ordinary 15,000.. infact lemme catch that man.
Celine rushed out with the 3rd tray of Oranges for the day. She was so tired and angry she even forgot her glasses.
She already came half way when she remembered it but it was already too late.
So she ran off like that.

*******
Danny was done with his shoot for the day it was around 2:30
He returned to the suite where he took a quick shower and dressed up again
“Aare you leaving?”
“Am bored so I would just look around town.”
“Ok lemmy call the driver.”
“No, don’t worry I feel like trekking.”
“What if something happens to your aggressive fans or even kidnappers? Secondly you are not allowed to step on the floor. You can’t mix with commoners , what if someone infects you?”
“Nothing would happen no one knows me that well here. Secondly I have my cap on and I look casual who would recognize me ?”
“am not liking this.”
“I need fresh air be right back.”
He walks out of the suite.
I don’t feel safe about this Sandra says to herself

*******
Celine walked down the market junction she had sold quite the number.
Danny was stroling directly towards the direction of Celine when his phone rang it was his manager
“what’s up dude?”
“How is the shoot going?”
“It’s cool I just finished.”
Danny was so engrossed in the call he didn’t see himself running into Celine and at the same moment the tray fell down and her oranges fell all through the floor while some rolled into the dirty water nearby
“Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!,can’t you see!”
“I should be asking you you, walked so carelessly, gosh why are commoners so clumsy?”
“What commonner, me commoner who do you think you are !!! , anyways I don’t blame you.”
Celine bent down and started picking her oranges just then she noticed Danny was just standing
“What are you doing pick my oranges oo.”
“What you cant be serious,”he tries moving backward.
“What are you doing?”
“The thing is I am not allowed to touch anything that falls to the ground.”
“What, listen if you don’t start picking these oranges am going to call the masquerades.”
“Fine, I will call the commissioner of police.”
“That Will take time the masquerade riders are right behind me.”
Danny looked and saw them he got scared
“So what, are you not picking. hmmm its like you have not heard about this place we kill strangers and eat them alive.”
“What?”
“Start picking.”
“Ok ok am picking.”
Danny uncomfortably bent down and picked one of the oranges then he quickly droped it back
“You know what, tell me your account number let me transfer the stupid money to your account.”
“Are you kidding?”
“Am serious.”
“You are so sluggish now the rest has rolled into the dirty water.”
“It seems like you don’t know who I am , how dare you talk to me.”
“What, who are you, are you the President’s son?”
“I think am richer than him.”
“What!!!!”
Danny removes his cap
“So are u still talking commoner?”
Celine strained her eyes to see Danny’s face but she couldn’t she even moved closer to him but her sight was just too blury
“I know who you are.”
“Took you long enough, I mean assuming you recognized me earlier you would be happy I ran into you.”
“I know who you are, you are a lazy, stupid , proud peacock.”
“What, you really don’t know me?”
“No!!!!”
Danny was so annoyed at the fact that Celine didn’t know him he’s pride was hurt he wished she new him
“Do you need glasses or something you mean you dont really know me, me, me?”
Celine drags his shirt
“Don’t think you can fool me give me my money.”
“No no no don’t touch me please don’t touch me you will infect me, commoners don’t touch me.”
“Money!” Celine shouted.
“Don’t you have an account?”
“No.”
“How old are you?”
“Thats not your business.”
Danny leave me alone first I know what to do
I can’t believe this girl doesn’t know me he says to himself
“What.”
“Leave me alone I will call my assistant to bring money to you.”
“What if I leave you and you run?”
“No I won’t, you irritate me I can’t do anything right with you holding me.”
“Give me something of yours.”
“I don’t have anything on me or should i give you the phone I want to use to make the call?”
“Didn’t u wear a watch , give me the watch.”
“No I never take off this watch.”
“Fine give me your shirt.”
Danny covers his body with his hand.”
“My s-xy body is made for photo shoots not for stupid commoners’ eyes.”
“What’s this guy you are really proud, who are you tell me your name.”
“Ok hold this phone let me take off the shirt.”
As Celine took the phone from Danny’s hand, Danny pretended as though he wanted to unbutton his shirt and he ran off
forgetting that Celine was with his phone
“Hey peacock you can run but you can’t hide.”
“I can.”
Celine ran after Danny untill she realized the phone in her hands she stopped and shouted
“Ok bye bye I will sell your phone and replace my oranges.”
“No you are not with my phone.”
Celine lifted the phone just then she ran off and Danny ran after her
“Commoner stop there !”
“No!!!!”
Danny ran fast till he caught Celine and with one hand he drew her back
“You should know I wanted to stop.”
“Ok wait lemmy call my assistant.”
“ok.”
She handed over the phone to Danny and took his shirt,
As he placed a call to Sandra and he put it on speaker
“Sandra where are you?”
“Am still at the hotel.”
“Go to my room and bring the cash I left on the bed please do before I die.”
“OMG where are you Sir?”
“Just keep strolling down before that hotel.”
“Ok Sir.”
Danny dropped the call and Celine left his shirt
Danny looked at his hands he just couldn’t stand the sight of the dirt just then Celine walked out
“Where to?”
“Coming.”
She returned with a sachet water
“Won’t you wash your hands?”
“What?”
“I bought water don’t worry I won’t charge you.”
“But that water is not clean, I don’t want it.”
“If you won’t wash forget”.Celine yanked and opens the water she finished it.”
“Commoner is that water safe for drinking?”
“Peacock do you know how much I bought this water , well u don’t look poor.”
“Jeez.”
“Duuuurrh.”
Just then a black car arrived and Sandra came down
“Are you ok Sir?”
“Just pay her for her oranges.”
“Am sorry dear please how much is your oranges?”
“Ehe , now someone is talking, the thing is there are two types of oranges I sell here.”
“Really?”
“Yes nah, I have VIP oranges for only celebrities you know people like Danny Hoffman, musicians like star boy.”
“What?”
“Yes nah.”
“Really, but you are actually standing with Dan….”
(Danny cuts in)
“What makes you think Danny Hoffman will like your oranges?”
“(smiling) Well he has bought it before in fact we are really tight friends.”
“Jesus Christ!”
“OMG yes nah.”
“And I also have normal oranges for average people like my father he’s a carpenter.”
“That’s nice.”
“This proud peacock here threw all of them into that water so the total cost is 30, 000 no leave no transfer.”
“Who me, peacock ,what!!”
“Aunty what are you saying?”
“Please just pay that girl I don’t want to see her anymore.”
Danny walks into his car
Sandra gave Celine the exact money she mentioned and went into the car
