Chapter 57

Miles got to his room and could hear his father consoling his brother.

It was easy for him to hear what they were saying because his parents room was opposite his.

"Miles already knows. I told him myself"

Miles heard his brother explain to his father.

"Well we will tell others and together we will see how you can get help.

Soon he heard laughter because of something his father did which he did not see because they were behind close doors.

For once Miles forgit why he had rushed to his room.

Then it struck him.

He was supposed to get to his room to get some money.

He opened his door and went straight to his drawer and brought out a bundle of notes.

He placed it in his pocket and headed back to the living room.

He saw the girl looking all fragile as though she was about to be frozen.

Miles was shocked to discover that his mother was still standing at the same spot.

Miles was careful not to show them what he was carrying in his front pocket.

He pulled the girl by the hand and led her outside and it earned every one a round of laughter because the girl had been so uncomfortable with everyone staring at her.

She was looking so unkept with her cheap clothes and she had no charisma so they knew she must be some girl trying to tame their little Anderson.

"Take this. You can help your mother with this"

"The girl collected the money and was almost about to pass out.

She opened her eyes wide and her mouth couldn't produce any word at the time.

Miles have seen people behaving that way before.

He doesn't just stop to help everyone but the girl looked sincere so he decided to help her.

When he found her at his gate she was actually crying and she had explained that her mother was sick and they have no money to take care of her.

He had wanted to take the mother to the hospital himself but he doesn't want to attract so much attention.

"Please sir this money is too much, I cannot take it all.

She finally found her voice.

This was not the first time Miles was seeing people trying to be modest.

Though she had asked for 20 thousand naira. He was giving her 50 thouusand naira for a reason.

"Don't worry go and take care of your mother.

"Now you need to hold that money well before you will be seen and it would be snatched from you"

I am not going to give you another one.

Without hesitation. 

She opened her skirt and put in the bundle inthe tight.

She then looked up and smiled at him.

"Thank you so much sir,  I will never forget this.

She wanted to ask for his number but Miles didn't give her the chance he waved at her and went back into the house while she walked past the long street and finally she was out of the estate.

It felt like a never ending journey because she had been in his car. While coming in but now walking back alone felt like she was going to some really far distant.

She finally got outside and left for her house.
