The ray of sunlight some through Amanda'a window. Amanda stretched her lazy set of worn-out bones before opening her eyes.Yesterday was very exhausting and hectic for her. Her stepmom forced her to do all the house chores at home including the laundry and trimming the garden. She didn't rest until late in the night after she finished cooking dinner.She stood up from the bed and checked the time, it was already past 6 am. Her heart skipped a beat as she didn't know if her stepmom was already awake. She usually asks her to wake up at 6 am every day to start the day's duties.She quickly rushed into the bathroom, washed her face, had a quick bath, wore casual clothes, and rushed into the kitchen.Luckily, no one was up yet, it was the weekend. Her stepmom and stepsister take longer to wake up on weekends.She quickly prepared breakfast while checking her time, she had somewhere to go. She took college exams unknown to her father and stepmom. Today was the day the results were out so
Amanda sat quietly alone in her room as she reflected upon everything that had happened in her life. Life hadn't been easy for her but she had managed to pull through with the help of people she met and her own will to survive.She thought about how Juilet had been a great help in her life ever since she left home. She felt bad about how her relationship with Juliet ended up after what she did.She only acted the way anyone would, watching your best friend betray and take over your fiance wasn't what anyone would celebrate or be happy about. The worst was that she wasn't remorseful.They weren't, even Kelvin wasn't. She wondered why he is coming back now to beg her when he had acted like she didn't matter that day she left them.Amanda sighed and turned to the other side of the bed she was laying on. She couldn't even sleep because she was very restless and disturbed. She had to do something regarding her relationship with Juliet. She stretched and picked up her phone from the light s
Eric was working on his laptop when a call came in. He checked the caller and noticed it was his Assistant.He picked up the phone to know why he was calling him."Good day Sir, I'm calling regarding the investigation you asked to carry out concerning the reason why Amanda was at the hospital last time," his assistant said."Yeah I remember, any information?" Eric asked him, typing on his laptop."Yes sir, she took a little girl for a checkup. From my findings, the girl hard issue with speaking so she wants to find out if she can speak again." his Assistant replied calmly."Okay," Eric replied and hung up."Who might this girl be? Did Amanda have a child?" he thought, staring at his laptop.He knew that Amanda doesn't have any relatives here and even if she did, she had never mentioned it except to her Aunt who she had talked about.He had never thought that she might have other relatives to take care of other than his son. "No, I don't think she had a baby," Eric concluded and start
Eric was working on some files in his office when his Assistant walked in. He stood before his desk but he signaled him to wait for some minutes so he would conclude what he was working on.After about two minutes, Eric looked up and gestured to his Assistant that he can tell him about whatever he came for."I brought a document containing everything you need to know about the doctor and how to contact him as you have requested," his Assistant said and dropped a brown file before looking up at Eric."You may leave," Eric said when he glanced at the brown file before concentrating on what he was doing."I came with some other documents for review and approval. After going through them, message me so I would come to pick them, up," his assistant said and dropped Another document."Okay," Eric replied, not bothering to look up. His Assistant bowed and started heading out of his office.He stopped him and called him back."Can you get me a cup of coffee?" He requested."What type of coffe
Mrs. Robinson picked up her phone to call Amanda. She was planning on going to visit her parents with Nina since Eric gave all his workers a break until James came back from his holiday. "Mom! Let's go. I'm done," Nina said excitedly with a smile."I'm coming, I'm trying to call Amanda," Mrs. Robinson said while waiting for Amanda to pick up the phone.Amanda picked up after a few rings."I'm sorry for not picking up on time, I was doing the laundry," Amanda said over the phone "Okay, I called to inform you that I'm about to travel with Nina. We are going to visit my parents who had been wanting to see her," Mrs. Robinson said and put the phone on loudspeaker. She wasn't done with arranging the remaining clothes into the bag yet."Oh my God, I'm going to miss Nina. When will you guys come back?" Amanda asked, feeling a little bit sad."When James comes back. You know we were asked to go on a holiday too and would resume when James comes back," Mrs. Robinson recalled as she packed th
Amanda woke up early because she had an appointment at the hospital with Bella. When was preparing to leave when Anna's call came in. She picked it up to know why Anna was calling her in the morning."Hey, can we briefly meet?" Anna asked over with a rather exciting voice."Why? Don't you have part time jobs to do today? Ain't you going to sell in the coffee cafe you usually work in the day today?" Amanda asked Anna. She was surprised that Anna fixed up a meeting with her in the morning when she was supposed to be at her other job."I want us to meet because it's urgent, please," Anna said as she wished in her heart that Amanda should agree.Anna was calling her because of Mr. Bryan. She had already promised him to reach out to Amanda and convinced her to meet up with him. So she had to keep to her promise, she had already taken money for it."I'm busy, I have somewhere important to go, can't you fix up another day?" Amanda asked and packed up everything she would be needing for the t
Chapter 88.After Anna left for the club, Amanda decided to cook a simple meal for herself. She walked to her kitchen and checked her cabinet to see the available ingredient. She noticed she didn't have enough good stuff at home, so she decided to go to a nearby grocery store to purchase some items missing in her kitchen.She walked to the beer section and took some cartoons of beer before proceeding to the foodstuffs section. After purchasing all she needed she headed to the cashier to pay for everything. The cashier calculated everything and slotted in her card.Unfortunately, it was insufficient, the remaining balance she had was not enough to pay for the things she purchased which left her apprehensive. It looked like she had purposely come to the supermarket with an insufficient bank account. She remembered she had sent the remaining money in her account to Anna and didn't bring the second card.She felt stranded and thought of what to do. Going back home to get the card would ta
Anna called Amanda early in the morning to let her know that Mr. Bryan wished to see her. Amanda told Anna to let the meeting happen in an open area.She was still at home when Anna came, she knocked on the door softly which grabbed Amanda's attention. Though she was expecting her but did not know the meeting would be early. She walked towards the door and opened it."Hi," Anna said out loud as Amanda opened the door. Amanda sighed before inviting her in.She didn't offer her a seat and Anna sat comfortably, looking around the apartment."I hope I am welcomed, get me refreshments," Anna said which made Amanda roll her eyes."I don't have any refreshments. You didn't even tell me you would be coming so early," Amanda said.Anna didn't reply, she stood up and headed toward the fridge. She opened it and brought out two cans of beer before heading back to the couch to sit down.Amanda joined her and grabbed the second can of beer from her."Don't be greedy and don't also feel too comfort
