CHAPTER 6

  Suzy's POV

  "Get your little cute self here Mia....You're running late for school"I said as Mia ran round the table playing.

  "Catch me if you can aunt Suzy"She chuckled as I scratched my head

  This little girl is real pain in the a*s.

  "Meria I think I will leave Mia for you to take her to school"I said finally giving up.

  "Mia!Stop that and get prepared for school"Meria's loud voice yelled from the bedroom.

  I quickly caught Mia's arm and she smiled at me.

  "Here that's your book"I said handing some books to her.

  "Thank you aunt!"she said

  I turned to leave but her voice halted me.

  "Aunt Suzy when are you guys ever going to work?"She asked as my heart skipped a beat.

  I quickly turned around.

  "What?"I asked in the mildest voice.

  "You and sister Meria said you always go to work but how come I don't know when you guys do"She asked.

  I gulped nervously as my legs became jelly.

  "Uhm....We do go to work"I said not knowing what else to say.

  "But when?I've never seen you guys go to work"She said with a puzzled look.

  I forced a smile at her.

  "You see...ah....We....We..."I stuttered out

  "Huh???"She asked

  "We leave immediately you go to school but we always come back before you"I said as I breathed heavily.

  "Oh OK......"She said as I breathe out heavily in relieve.

  Thank goodness I thought of something to tell her....

  I heard noises from the staircase and turned around.

  It was Meria...

  She was dressed and in a hurry too.

  "Meria!Where are you going?"I asked anxiously.

  "Well you see Miss O called me to come over to the bar quickly"Meria said as she forced the sandals to her leg.

  "But why?"I asked as she inhaled sharply.

  "I have no idea..."She said packing her stuff into her old worn-out handbag.

  "Oh OK then...I'll take Mia to school"I said as she rushed off.

  "Thanks Suzy!"She said almost inaudibly since she was meters away.

  Thoughts kept running through my mind.

  Why does Miss O want to see my friend?

  I hope nothing bad happened.....

  My eyes caught with Mia's school bag on the table that was when I recalled she's still at home with me.

  I glanced at the wall clock and gasped....

  "Oh my gosh!!7:26am?And Mia is still here????"I said as I quickly rushed to get her ready.

  Meria's POV

  My heart kept racing as I got down from the cab.

  I was very nervous...

  Why does Miss O need my presence so urgently huh?

  Did I do something wrong???

  Could it be she wants to fire me for turning down the offer?

  I scratched my head and shrugged it off.

  I knocked on the door in anxiety.

  But I got no response....

  "Miss O?Miss O??'I called out but no response.

  I turned to leave then the door swing open.

  Instead of Miss O,,,it was a very handsome and rich looking young man.

  "I guess I am in the wrong place"I said as I turned to leave,but then he touched my butt smiling mischievously.

  I quickly turned around and landed a dirty slap on his face....What the fuck?
