"marriage huh?!"; I exclaimed with a depressed tone as she went on nagging about marriage and relationship and soon left. I headed over to my lunch meeting with Mrs. Mann and back.
"Lily!"; I called out as I walked into my office.
"Yes ma'am; she responded as she came rushing in.
"What do I have on my schedule; I asked as she ran through her hand book.
"Ma'am, please you have a clear schedule; she exclaimed
"Alright then I'll be heading out; I said as I went straight home. It was 4:50 when I got home and was feeling completely stressed out. I took a shower to clear my mind but was still thinking of what Trina said.
"You're 26 and you're not even in a relationship yet"
"Damn you, Trina; I mouthed as I sighed. I got up and wondered around the house aimlessly. Soon, one of butler's approached me.
"Do you need anything ma'am?!; he asked.
"No, I'm alright I said staring at portait infront of me which appears to be "my father" as I turned and walked back into my room.
Seeing as time as gone by, I decided to go get ready but my phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?!'
"Sorry to bother you ma'am but something urgent just came up; said the speaker.
"Lily, it's already 9:45 why are you still at the company; I asked.
......
*sighs* alright, I'll head over; I said as I hanged up the phone.
"Just an hour more to go and something had to come up"; I mouthed as I got dressed. Seeing as to letting the black dye out my hair exposing my red hair, I put on a black wig and headed down.
As I made my way for the door, I could feel the stare of my father's most trusted butler's gaze piercing through me like a spear. I could feel his consent yet hesitant gaze.
"Something came up at the company and I have to head out; I said as I walked out not waiting for his response. I had everything sorted out and was back within 40 minutes time. Seeing how time had gone by, I headed straight to my room locked the door and got dressed. I pulled out the wig and brushed my hair, did some make ups and put on my mask. I was shocked as to seeing myself unrecognizable in the mirror, I took the card and put off the lights as I headed straight through my secret passage to the outside.
*5 minutes later*
I arrived at the venue without haste seeing as to how late I was. I approached a tree which stood out from the others, it was a large and thick Willow tree. At night, it will looked like a huge ghost with tenticles as I stood before it. To a normal person, it would look like being lost in a thick forest but to me.... humph 😎.
I position myself infront of the tree and yanked one of it leaves suddenly the ground opened up and I fell. I went gliding through a dark tunnel as soon I could see the light approaching, it finally came to end as I rolled over and landed on my feet. I looked up and was awed to seeing a huge structure like house which will be about 60-70 feet tall. I approached it and scanned it for a while soon I found the entry slot and inserted my card into it.....

*Door Opens*
*Walks in*
