ANNOUNCING THE GOOD NEWS 3

An hour and thirty seven minutes later, Jade returned home from work and she and Sellisa had their dinner. Jade noticed that Sellisa had been all smiles throughout their dinner but she decide to ask her about it after they were done eating.

"Lisa, what's up? You've been smiling ever since I step into this house and I am very curious to know the reason for this happiness of yours." Jade asked curiously.

"It took you so long!!!" Sellisa said impatiently which seemed to get Jade confused. "What I mean is that you should have asked me about it since, I have been waiting for you to ask me since you returned, finally, I couldn't contain my happiness anymore." She added.

"Seriously Lisa, you actually waited so long just for me to ask you about it, you are really something else?" Jade asked jokingly.

"Okay guess why I am so so happy." Sellisa said.

"Lisa, are you for reals right now? Just tell me I can't really guess right now." Jade said and Sellisa made to her that said she should at least try. "Sorry Lisa but I can't try I need my sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow morning. If you don't want to tell me, it's fine, I will just go to bed." Jade made an attempt to go when....

"Okay never mind I just tell you because I can't wait any longer. Take a look at this." Sellisa said handing an envelope to Jade.

After observing the content of the envelope, Jade had a shocked expression on her face.

"Shock right?" Sellisa asked smiling.

"Li..lisa, where did you get this amount of money from, did you start some kind of illegal business?" Jade asked.

"OMG!!! Jade, can someone get this kind of money through illegal businesses alone? Seriously? I got it from someone." Sellisa answered.

"Can you just tell me already?" Jade asked impatiently.

"Okay fine, I just got a job to work as an accountant in fizzy fox company." Sellisa replied happily. " I can't believe it after so long I finally got a job. I am so happy." She added.

"Wow Lisa, supper proud of you, congrats dear. So when will you start working?" Jade asked happily.

"I will start tomorrow and thank you so much. At least now we can now go to our respectively work together." Sellisa answered.

"You're welcome my love, I am also glad, I have someone to talk to when I am going to work." Jade said and they both hugged each other happily as they went to bed.

******** ********

In the midnight, precisely around 12: 42, Sellisa got a call so she answered the call without looking at the name of the caller due to the sleep still in her eyes.

"Hello, please who is this, why would you possibly call someone in the middle of the night, didn't it ring a bell in your mind that the person you might be calling may be asleep? Don't you have a conscience, why would you disturb someone like that?" Sellisa charged angrily and ended the call without realizing the big mistake she had made.

The next morning when she woke up she checked her phone and saw that she received a call in the midnight but she really remember it clearly but she remembered that she gave the person an ear full without even letting the person speak. She checked who called and she realized she had made a very grave mistake. She called the number once, twice, trice but the person didn't receive the call.

"I know he must be really mad at me, why did I even do this, I would I even face him right now. I will call him later, let me get ready first." Sellisa said to herself feeling very disappointed with herself.

After thirty minutes, Sellisa was ready to go to work as she waited for Jade to get her things. So she decided to try calling the person again and luckily for her the person answered.

"Hello Richard, good morning." Sellisa said trying to ease the situation.

"Yeah, what is it? How are you doing?" Richard asked and Sellisa was shocked.

"You, you aren't angry?" Sellisa asked.

"Why should I be angry? Is there a problem?" Richard asked acting like he didn't know what she was talking about.

"I know you know what I am talking about. Please just answer me." Sellisa said sadly.

"Okay fine I know but I want to forget about it, it is not that serious." Richard said nonchalantly.

"How can you say it's not serious, it's serious to me and I am very sorry, I didn't mean to say those words, I thought it was some scammers. I am really sorry please forgive me, I should have checked who the caller was before answering the call. I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart big bro, please forgive me." Sellisa said sadly

"Sellisa please stop this, I can never be angry at my little sis like that and I know it wasn't intentional, you only reacted like that because you were woken up from sleep the wrong way. So it's fine okay." Richard explained.

"I love you so much Richard, you are the best big brother ever. Thank you for forgiving me." Sellisa said gratefully.

"I love you too dear, so the reason why I called you was to ask you if what I heard wa true." Richard said.

"And what's that?" Sellisa asked.

"Mum told me that you just got a job. Is that true?" Richard asked.

"It's the truth, I got the job yesterday and I will start today and as I am speaking to you, I am already dressed up for work, just waiting for jade so we can head out." Sellisa answered.

"Okay then I'll call you later okay, I don't want to cause any delay. Talk you you later. Bye." Richard said

"Okay bye.". Sellisa said and the call was ended. "Come on Jade, what's keeping you so long, I don't want to be late on my first day. Please come out let's go." Sellisa said angrily.

"Okay fine I'm here, let's go." Jade said and they boarded a cab.
