The In-Between

Episode 18

Pim woke up early the next morning and took her bath and after that, went ahead to prepare Zoey for school.

She wore her uniforms and brushed her hair and took her school bag.

"Come on, Zoey; let's go down for breakfast" Pim told her as she left the room and stood outside, awaiting her to come out.

Pim took a look at May's room which was in front of her and noticed her door was slightly open.

She strained her neck to take a peep and she was able to see her sitting on the bed with Tidy in her hands.

Luckily, she wasn't facing the door.

Pim noticed she was looking sad as she pet Tidy who laid quietly.

He really looked sick.

"Stay strong for me, okay?" May said softly and nuzzled it.

At that point, Pim felt pity for both of them.

"I'm through nanny" Zoey said as she finally came out of the room and she turned to look at her.

"Okay, let's go" Pim told her and they left for the dining.

Mrs Linda and others were already seated there, Zoey and Pim joined them.

"How was your yesterday's training, Pimento?" Mrs Linda asked immediately Pim dished out Zoey's meal.

"it was fine ma'am. We were told everything we were expected to do" She replied and Mrs Linda smiled back at her.

"So how do you see the other trainees? Do you think you can defeat them?" Bright asked and Pim shrugged.

"I don't really know. They all seem pretty good to me and unfortunately, I don't even know how to dance." Pim replied.

"Seriously? You can't dance?" Janelle asked and Pim nodded shyly.

"Well, maybe the training might be of help" Dezy said and Pim eyes widened in surprise.

"Did Dezy just said something nice to me?

Wow!"

After a short while, May walked in, brightly garbed and extremely gorgeous.

Even the pale look on her face couldn't hide it.

"Good morning aunt" she greeted casually as she walked over to her and pecked her on the cheek.

Hm. How sweet.

"Good morning May. Don't tell me you're leaving without breakfast" Mrs Linda asked and she sighed and touched her forehead.

Hm. It seems she's fond of doing that - touching her forehead with two fingers.

"I'm sorry, aunt. I just don't have an appetite for now. Besides, I have a meeting to catch up with."

"By the way, Dezy, could you help me call one of the vetenerian doctors to check on Tidy, please?" she turned to Dezy and asked.

"Okay May. Sure" Dezy replies and she nodded and left.

Pim hurried up her breakfast with Zoey and when they were done, they also left for school.

She dropped her off at the preschool and went for hers afterwards.

She clean up her duty post which was assigned to her and when it was 12 PM, she left for her training at the Studio.

Pin guess it's really not going to be easy on her - managing her Job and going for the training as well.

She came out of her ride and was about going into the building when a black SUV that was coming her way drove by and splashed water from the floor on hers.

What?!

Pim shrieked and turned to the car which stopped and the driver came out immediately. It was a young pretty woman.

"Wait; I know this woman.

Yes! She's Ken mum!"

"Oh, dear; I'm so sorry. I never meant to do it" she said apologetically as she scuttled to where Pim was and stood in front of her.

Then she dipped her hand into her bag and brought out a napkin and surprisingly, she started cleaning Pim body with it.

OMG!

"Were you hurt?" She asked as she cleaned Pim hands and Pim just stared dumbfounded.

She can't believe someone this rich can actually be this kind.

Then why's her daughter so rude?

She was very young and pretty, looking very classic. No wonder Ken is so pretty as well.

"Are you alright?" She asked staring into Pim eyes and she shrugged out of her thoughts.

"I'm...I'm fine, ma'am. Please don't bother" Pim said and tired stopping her from cleaning her body.

"No, no. Please, let me" she insisted and went on with it.

"What's your name?" She asked with a warm smile.

'Uhm...Pimento, ma'am" Pim replied, staring into her big blue eyes.

"Okay Pim. Once again, I'm sorry for splashing water on you. I didn't mean to. I hope you're fine now?" She said and Pim nodded.

'Yes ma'am. I'm fine. Thanks a lot" Pim replied and she smiled and held her hands, cleaning off a little stain on it.

Pim couldn't explain it, but she kind of enjoyed her touch on her.

When she was done cleaning Pim hand and surprisingly, she held on to it and stared into Pim face.

"Uhm...Pimento" she called.

"is. ..is it possible we've met before?"

Pim felt a wide feeling in her as she stared at her.

Although she've seen her on TV and other media, but she is not so sure she's seen her.

"I...I don't think so, ma'am" Pim replies and she stared at her for a little more while before letting go of Pim hand.

"okay then. I'll be on my way. It was nice meeting you by the way." She said and Pim smiled and she turned and headed to her car.

Pim kept looking at her as she got to the door.

And just when she was about opening it, she tuned around and looked at Pim and for an unknown reason, they smiled at each other.

She waved at Pim and finally walked into the car.
