It’s already in the evening and Chleo got back home with the same result if not seeing a job, Mrs Wood already made the dinner and set the dinning, Layla pretended to be nice to her and she went to meet her when she was about to enter the room, Chleo though maybe, Layla wanted to argue with her.

“ Layla! I am so tired and I am not ready to argue with you today” Chleo said.

“ I am not arguing either but I just wanted to ask you how did it go, I mean your search for a job” Layla asked.

“ I guess that is none of your business, I know you want to mock me “ She said in anger.

“ I am not mocking you, I just want us to make peace and be one family, I know that I have offended you in many ways but can you please forgive me, I want us to live as one in this small tiny house, I also want to search for a job” Layla said and Mrs Wood walked closer to them.

“ Yes Chleo! I want us to live as one family, I don’t want us to argue anymore, I don’t want to rest you bad or like an outsider anymore I want to treat you as my daughter now, I know that I have one so much mistakes in the pass by treating you horrible but please accept my apology” Mrs Wood said and Chleo was confuse.

“ What is going on here?” She asked.

“ Nothing but just want us to be as one family now” Mrs Wood said.

“ I already prepared the dinner. Why don’t you come join us on the dinning?” Mrs Wood said.

“ Off course, I will but I need to take a shower” she said and she entered the room thinking.

“ Could it be that they have both changed or this is a trick?” She asked herself while thinking and she smiled.

“ Well, maybe they have changed after all, no more living of luxury life that made us run into debt and now, Layla also wants to sea h for a job maybe, they thought about. Thank goodness they want us to live as one family now, this is what I have always prayed for, I have always wanted this maybe from her I can get motherly love since I never got one, she always tells me that I murdered my mother because she died after she gave birth to me. I am so sorry mum that I was the cause of your death, I can’t get to see you and you can’t get ti see yo it daughter also”she said speaking to herself and she smiled.

Mrs Wood and Layla were happy that Chleo already believed them.

“ I told you mum, Chleo will believe, she is such a fool” Layla said.

“ I just hope this work out” Mrs Wood said and Chleo walked out from the room and they smiled, they went to the dining, they eat together.

“ Sir! Mrs Thomas is here to see you” the bodyguard said and Nathan was in his private backyard.

“ Let her in” he ordered his bodyguard and after few minutes, Mrs Thomas came in.

“ Nathan Wilson, how are you doing?” Mrs Thomas said.

“ I Hope you are not here to ask for money?” He asked and Mrs Thomas smiled.

“ I demande some respect from you Nathan. I know I did you bad in the past but I am still your foster aunt” Mrs Thomas said.

“ I am sorry Mrs Thomas. Why are you here?” He asked.

“ I’m sure, you know about Mrs Wood, the woman whom lost her husband recently, her husband had a lot of debt before his dead” Mrs Thomas said.

“ What is it about her?” He asked.

“ She needs help to pay off her husband debt so she can live her luxury life back, I remember you told me that you have a lot of money and you don’t know what to use for so I suggest her to give you her stepdaughter while you give her money in exchange” Mrs Thomas said.

“ The girl will be yours forever” Mrs Thomas said.

“ I will need to see the girl first, if I like her then I pay Mrs Wood and have the girl” He said and Mrs Thomas smiled.

“ I’m sure you will like her, you do not need to worry” she said and Mrs Thomas smiled.

“ Chleo was in the kitchen while, Mrs Wood and Chleo were in the backyard pretending to tidy, they both stood and Mrs Wood fold her hand.

“ We have been nice to her for days now it’s time we step up our game, we need to think deep on how you going lay down sick on the bed to pretend like you are ill” Mrs Wood said and her phone rang, it was Mrs Thomas, she picked up the call.

“ Hi Mrs Thomas” Mrs Wood said.

“ I have a good news for you” Mrs Thomas said and Mrs Wood smiled.

“ Really! Tell me about this good news” Mrs Wood said.

“ Nathan said, he will like to see the girl and if he liked her then he  will pay you off” Mrs Thomas said and Mrs Wood smiled.

“ You should not worry about that he will like her” Mrs Wood said.

“ You have no time to waste again, you must present the girl to him in three days time” Mrs Thomas said.

“ Thank you so much, I will do that” Mrs Wood said and she end the call.

“ What did Mrs Thomas said the good news is?”Layla ask.

“ He said that Nathan said we can come with Chleo in three days, now we have no time to waste” Mrs Wood said.

“ I have a plan mum. I will pretend to pass out and you get a fake doctor, the fake doctor will say that I have kidney disease and the fake doctor will say that I need to be treated as soon as possible or else I will die” Layla said and Mrs Wood smiled.

“ Yes, you are right” Mrs Wood said and they both smiled staring at Chleo in the kitchen.
