2:45 pm, Riley was outside her father’s office waiting for him. He was talking with an American client when Riley got to the office. The client kept staring at Riley, losing interest on the discussion he was having with Mr. Chang. Mr. Chang glanced at him and cleared his throat.“Is that your daughter Mr. Chang?” the client asked, glanced at Mr. Chang and continued staring at Riley who was preferably outside the office waiting for him to get out of the office. “Is there any problem Mr. Richard? You look marveled by what you are seeing” Mr. Chang jabbered and chuckled softly.“Of course I love what I’m seeing right now. You really have a beautiful daughter Mr. Chang” “Thank you Mr. Richard. Now, according to what I’m saying, we really have enough capital to start up the investment but…”“Oh hold on Mr. Chang, we can discuss business later” the client said, still staring at Riley.“What do you mean Mr. Richard, we only have today to discuss about the business” “Is she married?

I think I was confused at that point. You could have noticed if you were really watching me” Heather pleaded.“Oh really? Do you even who put those p
“Oh let me be, go away” Kenny tried chasing her cat away but he kept disturbing her. “What is your problem? Let me press my phone please”“Meow! Meow!” the cat cried slowly and glanced at Kenny.“Awww! My little cutie pet. Alright what do you want? Rat? No I can’t get you that, go get one yourself” Kenny said and the cat jumped onto her lap, flipped the phone away with it’s claws and stared at Kenny.“Oh you wanna play now you silly cat” she giggled and fell on the bed with the cat, playing and laughing. They were still playing when Mimi, Kenny’s little sister, bashed into the room.“A guy came, said he’s looking for ya” Mimi said quickly, holding a small white teddy.“What?” she rose from the bed immediately.“What guy?”“I don’t know, haven’t seen him before” Mimi concluded and hiked out.“I am not expecting anyone. Who do you think it is?” she stared at the cat and hurried out of her room, heading to the entrance door. He opened the door and saw a tall and handsome guy standing in
“Jane come back here will you?” Sophia yelled out.“Mom! I am tired of this. Come on Mom!” Jane turned and bawled at Sophia. She was climbing down the stairs.“Oh my God, this is not happening to me right now”“Just call him and tell him not to come” “Look sweetie, he is your Dad no matter what happened between you both”“My Dad? Mom did you just call him my Dad?“Of course peach, that’s what he is and it’s unchangeable. You have to understand that and stop being childish”“Mom, that man left us when I was only six years old and till then I haven’t seen him. Now he wants to move back to us after I just celebrated my seventeenth birthday and you cool with it? How are you sure he hasn’t another family over there?”“Jane, watch your damn mouth. Think before you speak. What the hell do you mean by that?” Sophia grumbled loudly.“I was just assuming, that’s all” Jane prattled .“He is coming back to us and that’s it. If you don’t want him, I do”“Fine, do whatever you want” “Now you are
After the rehearsal, Jane left Kate and Kylie and headed home. On her way, she was stopped by Max and his sister Mara.“Hi Jane!”“What is it Mara?” “Are you preparing for the race? Oh come on, there is no need for that because I’m still gonna win your team no matter how hard you guys prepare” Mara bragged.“Really? I really like it when you brag” Jane said and forced a smile to her. Max chuckled lightly.“Don’t mind her Jane, she always thinks she is better than anyone else but she’s not”“Of course I am. Wait, Max are you supporting her right now?” Mara asked, staring disappointedly at Max.“No that’s not what I meant, I was only saying…”“Oh fuck you” Mara concluded and left them.“Jane I’m umm! Sorry for what happened at school today. Can you forgive me please?” he said and Jane nodded with a smile.“Really?”“ALEX!” Mara yelled from a distance.“I gotta go then, see you in school tomorrow” he smiled and raced off to meet Mara. Jane stared at him for a while and continued hom
6:30pm, Kate got home and met her Dad in the garden watering the flowers and vegetables. He was wearing an old khaki trouser, a black shirt and was carrying a big water keg.“Hi Dad” She called out to him and he turned, facing her.“Hi sweetie, you came back late today, everything okay?” he said loudly.“Yeah, I didn’t money for cab”“Oh dear, you should have met a sports mate for a ride”“It was just Jane, Kylie and I.

7:45 in school the next day, the athletes were busy training themselves for the forthcoming school even. The racers were all ready and set on their on their sportswear and were all in line including Jane, Kate and Kylie. The coach blew the whistle and they raced off. Jane was the fastest among the other qualified fourteen racers but as she was running fast like an Antelope, thoughts about her returning father passed her mind. She slowed down a little and fell down. After she fell, it took about thirty seconds before the others could reach her and ran past her giggling.
