CHAPTER 3

Eva looked at me confused while  I paced around "Adeline, open the door this minute and pay me my money" Mr. Wendy says still banging the door really hard. "What do we do?" Eva asked me and I shook my head, I had no idea what to do right now. "Okay, I have an idea." she whispered, I looked at her expecting her to talk but instead she kept on shoving me to bend "Can't you just talk?"I whispered-yelled and she rolled her eyes. "Get under the bed," She said and I sighed, the man was banging much harder on the door. I squeezed myself under the bed and prayed that whatever Eva wanted to say would actually work. I heard the door open "Where is Adeline, I want to see her this minute" Mr.Wendy snapped and Eva sighed "She is not home, I am the only one here right now but when she does come here then I will ask her to come to see you personally."Eva said the man scoffed "I saw her come in here but all of a sudden she has disappeared? what sort of magic is that?" He asked and I shut my eyes closed where I was. "Are you sure you don't need glasses because Adeline didn't come here with me, I came alone?" She told the man and I heard a long pause. "I will be back for my money, either Adeline is here or not, I don't care but let her know that whenever I see her will be her last time in this house because I will throw her out of this house." He said and walked away. Eva closed the door and I came out from my hiding place "What are you going to do now?" Eva asked and I sighed, sitting on the bed 'I have no Idea, Eva, He is determined to throw me out of the house and if he does, I have no idea where I would go to."I said and she sighed 'If that happens then you have to come to stay with me, Three roommates or not." She said and I smiled "Yes mom." I replied while she stood up. "I have to leave now, I need to go to the club, see you later?" She said and I smiled 'See you." I replied and watched as she walked out of the room, I stood up and closed the door behind her. I had no idea what to do, Mr. Wendy was more than ready to throw me out of the house and even with what Eva had said about her being welcomed to stay with her, It genuinely was something I couldn't do. I have to find a way to pay Mr. Wendy by all means.

I stripped off my clothes and walked into the tiny bathroom and turned on the tap so I could bath but alas. Mr. Wendy had done his magic and cut my room off the water. What in the world was I supposed to do?; I mean this was my first time owing him his rent and all of this was just because I had gotten fired from my previous job four months ago, Now it wasn't as though I didn't try my best to get a new job but it has been proving extremely difficult for me. I got fired from my last job because the boss's insolent and stupid bratty son had thought it would b okay with me for him to grope my bum but then I gave him a befitting slap, one that he wouldn't ever forget in his lifetime. The boss was more than mad that I slapped his one and only son' that he gave me my sack letter the next day. I sighed and kicked the empty bucket of water, taking my anger on the bucket. I walked back to my room and wore my black shorts and yellow tank top, I needed money and I need it fast. I picked my laptop and turned it on, checking my mail and internally praying that I would at least get good feedback from the companies I sent my resumes to. The first mail I clicked on said...

"Dear Applicant,

We are sorry to inform you that you did not make.,.." I hissed and deleted the mail immediately, checking my other messages but they were filled with the same thing "Rejection!" I groaned and attempted to close my mail but I paused, I still had one message that I hadn't read. I clicked on it and read through it. WAIT!? Ashford group of companies? when the fuck did I send them my Resume? and how the fuck did I miss the fact that I had an interview scheduled for tomorrow by 9? Ashford group? Did I by mistake send them my resume?
