Chapter 43

"I will miss you too son"...Take very good care of yourself.

"Kira come here, leo called out.

"Uncle leo I'm going to miss you. "Same here, I will miss your annoying voice. There was a slight frown on Kira's face as she pouted her lips.

"Will you quit frowning, make sure you take good care of Alice I trust you.

"Fine Uncle"

"Leon can we get going now,your private Jet is ready. Jeffrey chipped in. "Yh I'm ready".

Leo turned to Daisy and gave her a nod which she returned with a smile. He looked back and smiled at Alicia, she gave out a slight smile and waved at him.

He headed towards the door. "I didn't even receive a goodbye....Peter complained. "Leo stopped within his tracks and turned to him. "That's because you don't deserve it. He blurted harshly and walked out.

*******

Alice please come down quickly, your breakfast is ready.

"Coming right down Alicia.... Alice shouted.

"What happened today?

"I beg your pardon... Alicia raised her head to see Lisa across the table pulling out a chair.

"Good morning Mother"

"Hmmm"

I asked you a question, what happened this time around? "I don't really get you Mother.

"Don't tell me you are that dumb my dear. For the very first time you set foot into this mansion you woke up early today which is very odd and also you're properly dressed just like the lady of the house.

"Next time don't yell Alice's name like that, just ask one of the maids to call her down for breakfast. "Yes Mother"

"Alicia I'm here... Alice walked in panting hard.

"Were you running?..Lisa asked as she sipped her morning tea. "Yes Mom"

Lisa raised her head from the cup and shot Alice a murderous look. Since when did you start running around? Just look at you, you're all sweaty now.

"I'm sorry Mom it won't happen again. I'm late.

Martha please pack Al's food.... Alicia ordered. "Right away ma'am, the young maid bowed before heading towards the kitchen.

In a few minutes she came in with a lunch box. Alicia collected it from her and handed it over to Alice. "Here you go Al.

"Thanks Alicia. "Jeffery is waiting for you outside. "But why is he taking me to school today?

Oo he will be dropping Kira off today, he was in the neighborhood so I asked him to come for you. "That's nice of you Alicia, I will get going now.

"Bye Mom"

"Take care Honey"

"Bye Alicia"

********

It was a smooth drive to Green Meadow. I haulted from the Jeep banging the door.

"Bye Uncle Jeffery, thanks for the ride

"No need Alice" . You girls should take care. Urhmm I think your guards will be here in five minutes,there were some few changes that's how come they're late, but they will be here anytime soon.

I gotta go... Jeffrey smiled brightly at them. They watched him put the car in reverse while he backed out into the street.

Alice did you have breakfast? ...Kira asked.

"No I didn't, Alicia packed them for me. I hope there's extra....Kira blurted with an annoyed face.

"Yh, I can't have all by myself. But wait a minute, why didn't you have breakfast?

"That's a good question. There was a whole drama in my house today. Jeffrey is dating Daisy.

"What????

"Yh I am surprised and shocked as much as you are. It's even high time I got a sister in law. You know how mom can be atimes, she made a whole issue out of it. "I couldn't tolerate their noise so I just walked out.

"Aww poor thing, buy it really is cool you know. Now both of us have sister in laws. "Yh it is...Kira blurted with a knowing look.

"What's for breakfast though? "Urhmm it's Avocado toast,an ace of cottage cheese and greek yogurt.

"Hmmm delicious.

"Come on let's head towards the cafeteria.

*****

"Daisy don't do this, I mean we've been dating for a week now. Don't end things this way. "I'm sorry Jeffery but I can't continue this relationship. You witnessed how your mother disgraced me this morning even in the presence of your little sister. "I know, but I promise this to you, all I need to do is to make her understand that it is you I love.

Come on trust me on this,she will agree in a few days to come.

"Okay if you say so"

Daisy wiped her tears and turned looking at her side of the window. Jeff kept stealing glances from time to time hoping she would even look his way but he kept on sighing because she didn't even spare him a glance.

After dropping the girls at school, he drove back to his mansion to pick up Daisy. They were on their way to the hospital.
