CHAPTER 256: MOTHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP

"When are you planning to strike Eva? The chairman is not in the company so I guess Carol is not very keen on what will.be happening in the company. The right time to strike is now what do you think?" Miss Alice asked.

"We should be careful with what we are planning. Anyone wrings move we will all end up in jail," Miss Alice replied.

"We can't end up in jail with all this money I don't think we will stay in jail more than one week," Miss Alice replied.

"I don't want to risk anything you know, I just want to strike her once and see her behind bars," Miss Eva replied.

They have been relaxing beside the pool after they had confirmed that their cargo have been delivered to Mexico safely. They will receive payment after two weeks.

"Then you should ca your daughter and ask her how is everything in the company. With that, you will be able to manage and know what is going on. We cannot monitor Carol without planting a spy on the company," Miss Alice said.

"I think that's a perfect idea, give me a minute," Miss Eva said as she stood up and left for the villa to take her cell phone.

She dialed Slyvia's never and waited for her to pick up the call as she walked back to the pool. 

Slyvia was busy designing the burner for the company when her cell phone vibrated. She was so happy thinking that finally Paul have decided to call her. She has been sending him texts for the entire week but Paul didn't reply to any of them.

So she took her purse with a smile on her face as she fished out her cellphone only to find out that her mother was the one calling. 

She was surprised as to why her mother was calling her at that time it was unusual for her to call Slyvia. The mother-daughter relationship has never existed between them. They normally lived like people who were just an acquaintance.

Sometimes she wondered if they were her biological parents. She remembers that her father gave been in the country for the last three months but they only met once. They b, umped into each other in the shopping mall. That's when she knew that her father was back. 

Everyone has been living their life, they never lived together as a family. Mr. Mokaya Sylvia's father lives alone, Miss Eva lives with Miss Alice while Slyvia stays alone with her two siblings staying in Florida in the United States.

Ever since her mother decided to stay in the country, she thought that they will build a good relationship like a daughter and a mother but she was not surprised when her mother neglected her. She has been trying to get close to her mother but it has been hard because every time she visits her mother she always gives her an excuse if being busy and the excuse was always they were counting dollars that need to be exchanged the next day.

She normally knows whenever her mother calls her, she needs a favor from her or she is asking her about something crucial. So today Slyvia decided that she was not going to pick it up, she turned the cellphone on silent mode and continued with what she was doing.

"What! Imagine my daughter has ended the call without receiving it, I will try three times if she doesn't pick then I will understand that she is busy," Miss Eva murmured to herself.

She called for the second time and still, Slyvia didn't pick it up, she directed it to her mailbox. Miss Eva didn't give up so she decided to calm down for one last time after five minutes.

Slyvia thought that her mother have given up on calling her again. But after five minutes her cellphone vibrated again and she was surprised that her mother was the one calling. So she decided to pick up thinking that her mother might be in danger and trying to reach out to her.

Despite the fact her mother has been absent in her teenage life, she appreciates that she is still there and it will pain her if something happened to her mother.

So she stood up a d left the office to pick up the call.

"Finally you decided to pick up my call were you busy?" Miss Eva said when Slyvia received the call.

"Hello, mum how are you?" Slyvia said.

"Just as always I am good, how are you doing in the company?" 

"I am fine just workload stress but I am managing. I have to do that since I have nothing on my name," Slyvia said.

"Please dear let's not start on that line you know that I love you and there is a lot that you don't know that's why you are thinking on that way," Miss Eva begged.

"Why mum? Why should I not think like that? Are you scared that I will ask you why my small brother and sister are enjoying their life in the state of Florida on the family wealth, while I am here struggling to make my end meet?" Slyvia said.

"Hey baby, don't say like that one day you will know why you are here in the country while they are in the states. I called to check on you today and I didn't expect that you are going to talk to me like this," Miss Eva said.

Slyvia scoffed then said, "What do you think? I have been managing this since my high school life so it's not new to me. I am fine to do you should not worry about me mum because you always make me feel like I am not part and parcel of this family," she said.

Slyvia! I think we need private meeting with you to talk about everything. Just realize that I love you so much and you will forever be my first born baby. Anyway leave that alone, I want to ask you about something," Miss Eva said.
