**BIRTHDAY PARTY**

At night, Olivia had finished cooking the meal and she was asked to join them at the dining table by Mrs Smith. At first, Olivia was a bit uncomfortable eating with them but later felt relaxed when Ben made very good remarks on her meals.

"This food is yummy Olivia!" said Ben with his mouth full of spaghetti sauce.

"You can say that again," said Anita chewing the food delighted and Olivia smiled brightly

"Uhmn! Am happy you guys like Olivia's food." said Mrs. Smith satisfied with the meal "And Olivia thanks for the help and hope there's nothing wrong with you staying here?" she asked concerned for her welfare

"No ma'am," replied Olivia and she quickly added. "And am happy to hear grandma is responding to treatment, thank you ma!" said Olivia smiling gratefully.

Ben was softened by her smile and he giggled.
