Anna snapped at Nora, hopping into the car first leaving Nora to stand outside, doesn't care if she gets in or not, or she should rather go on and let Lucian give her a ride, that won't seem like a bother to her.'' Jezz! Are you planning to leave me alone here?!'' Nora yelled, with the two heavy bags in her hands. '' You have a choice, get in the cab or you continue to stand there, better still let Lucian give you a ride'' Anna rolled her eyes, as she moved to the extreme of the car, creating space for Nora to get in.Lucian was standing adjacent to Nora, he was still so mad at himself, looks like he deserves this and the shine in his eyes are dull. '' Go on Nora, dont worry about me'' he waved his hands at her and forcing out a smile, Nora blinked and smiled a little before she got into the cab.'' Driver let's go please'' Kyle said from the front seat.As the driver began to ride on, Anna's heart began to race against her chest, she felt her skin squirming and her heart squeezing,
Hopping out of the cab, she walked boldly towards the twin building. Her head tilted to a corner looking up at the building as tears pricked her eyes..this was her dream - her life. To always be here was her dream, but standing in front of this building didn’t give her the much satisfaction or peace of mind she had expected. Something was missing.Him. It was as though she couldn't feel herself anymore, that kind of joy that was meant to fill up her mind, jezz it was not even there. Why isn’t she happy like she ought to be? She’s already in the place where she would fulfil her goals and have what she has always craved to also she has all the freedom she wants now, but no. This is not her. The kisses and hugs from her friends didn’t make her feel any better. But she has to, no matter what she has to make herself happy and accomplish her dreams. “ Good to have you back here, girl!” she heard a familiar female voice behind her, as she was lost in some thoughts she couldn’t filter.
It was not just the people who changed, the building too. The infrastructure was different from the one Anna used to know. Including the paint. It was painted blue before but now it was a little touch of white and blue. Sparkling.When Anna stepped into his office, her mouth dropped open as she gulped down roughly. Everything. Has. Fucking. Change.'' God, is this your office?" hands rubbing on the latest glass table contemporary. The fragrance in the office was brain refreshing as well.He smiled, '' Please do have your seat." the only thing that didn't change was his voice. Calm and soft, it was soothing." Thank you," Anna observed around the office while he prepared the documents she would need to get register." I'm really happy you are back," he smiled as he grabbed a pen from the table in front of him. '' Here, read through thoroughly. And sign. Then that would be all." he said.'' Sure.'' She grabbed the pen from his hands, taking her attention back to the documents in her han
Nora opened the door and went straight back into her room without saying a word to Anna. This is it.She has offended the gods, she needs to please the gods to forgive her. Anna knew she isn't quick to anger, but when she gets angry it meant a lot. It meant you should control the way you react or use your words in action. Nora is the last person who could get angry in this world.Taking her shoe off beside the door before reaching Nora's room. The house was empty as though no one was around except her. That reminds me, Nora has only one parent and sadly she's the only child. Anna was the sister and best friend she never had. " Hey, bitch. You never ring me or ping me with a text." Anna grumbled as she dropped off her bag on the table some inches away from the bed." I miss you bitch, don't give me that face please," She hopped into the bed. Dragging the pillow away from Nora, she had been hugging it like a teddy bear. " I bought you, your favourite snack. I'm sorry I spoke to you t
The morning came as a blur. Anna left Nora's house as early as possible, returning back home to get a change of clothes and then get back to the twin building for her training immediately, after she had received another calls from her friend, James.It hadn't been more than five minutes since she read James' text messages. He had given her the good news about her approval of being a participant in the contest.Being over whining that she got confused about what to wear, shattering her wardrobe like a mother hen digging the soil for worms.It would be nice if she go with Nora today, and by the way, she would get the chance to share the good news with her, Anna thought. Picking her phone off of the bed, "Hey, bitch. Do you mind accompanying me to my music class today? " she asked, waiting for Nora's reply. Anna could hear how she was trying to stutter out a reply to her."Uhm- do you mind if I come pick you up? You know I have exams to write. I need to read hard." she said. Though she w
The heart-aching smell of disinfectant pervaded the air in the hospital.Mr Ben was rescued here to the hospital by the neighbour. Anna had just received a call from them about her dad blacking out, out of the blue. Fear gripped her and froze at the spot, she hurried out in a breaking sweat, left her rehearsal, at the studio, running swiftly to the said hospital." Dad!" she pushed the emergency door open, Anna's cheek was so reddish and heavy, she was fighting back the tears threatening to roll down her cheek, she wasn't expecting this sudden sad news tall." Please stay outside, we have to check on him" the nurse shove her out of the room, other nurses attending to him in the emergency ward." What is wrong with him? What happened this time?" Anna asked the neighbour sitting out the door of the room, shaking at the expense of seeing him collapse that way." I don't know, I heard him screaming from my room. I ran to check what was wrong when I saw him collapse on the floor that way"
The doctor said Mr Ben had quickly responded to medications. She had decided on when to discharge him back home. Nora felt a bit relieved, Mr Ben's smile was coming back on his face. And he smiles more often now. Especially when he smiles and exposed his white cute teeth it is like having breakfast in the morning and getting satisfied for the whole day. Anna on the other hand was happy to see those beautiful smiles on his face again." You should smile often dad, it looks really good on you" she grins and tried hiding her pain.'' Anna you need to go and start backing your things, your suitors would be here soon'' Mr Ben said, after smiling for a while. '' So soon?'' Anna's heart throbbed, her eyes bugged out, she said within herself.'' O_okay dad'' she appeared in her room, slammering the door against herself, falling to the ground shedding tears, Anna knelt beside the threshold, she didn't take note that she wasn't the only one in the room.Nora was there already helping her pack h
They arrived at the estate a bodyguard unlocked the door for Anna, because she seemed to be focused on the beauty of the mansion. Nestled in the woodland, as humble as any rock face in these parts, was a mansion. Its windows were as humble eyes, large to welcome any ray of sun. The mansion was all concrete and tall glass windows that gave a view of the mountains, a chance to relax and take in the changing of the seasons from the comfort of an easy chair.She wowed the moment she stepped out of the car. '' Welcome young madam'' a maid said to her, while she had other assistant maids behind her. She looks like the chief of the maids, and the ones behind her seem inexperienced, unlike her, who has experienced eyes, like someone who has been working here for the past 18 years.'' Anna, please call me Anna. That's my name'' she corrected the middle-aged woman. '' I'm sorry, I can't call you by your name, you are Young master's wife, and I won't be able to bear the consequences of his wrath
