Vanessa was so shocked, she had no idea he would go to the extent of following them to the house. She came down from the steps and approached Alfred who was leaning on the car. “ What do you want? What are you doing here?” She asked him Angrily. “ Who is that?” Alfred asked her instead of answering her Question. “ I asked you first” Vanessa blurted. “ I’m here to see My child and her Mum” He smiled and Vanessa Chuckled. “ How many times will I tell you to stay away from our lives? Mara isn’t your child and you have no right to come see us” She said. She turned around but didn’t see Derek outside again, just as she was praying he shouldn’t do what she was thinking, he came out with Mara. “ Daddy!” Mara screamed running to Alfred. He bent down and hugged her tightly. “ I missed you so much” Alfred said smiling excitedly. “ I missed you the most, you took long to come for me” Mara said happily. “ I’m sorry baby, I’m here now” Alfred said.

“ What da! Why would I even look at him? He’s not even Handsome” She sat down on the bed. Suddenly, a knock came on the door and Derek entered with the shopping bags. “ Take them out” Vanessa said and he dropped them beside her. “ It’s for you and Mara” He said and left the room. “ Did we tell him we need something?” She kicked the bag with her leg and something fell out from one of the bags. “ what’s this?” Vanessa picked up a mini gift box from the floor , She opened the lid and Chuckled. “ A candy bear?

“ I don’t even know her name” He tested his head on the Sofa’s handle and Smiled at the ceiling. “ She’s so pretty. But I’m Still confused on how everything happened. When did I get her pregnant? How? Where?” He sighed and shook his head. His Assistant was outside fuming with Anger. He couldn’t believe his Boss would go to that extent of visiting them. “ Oh come on, this won’t turn Good and I know it” He stamped his feet on the ground and Entered the sitting room. He found his Boss on the sofa smiling like someone who just got married to the love of his life. He had Never seen his Boss in that situation before and he knew something wasn’t right. “ He’s in Love with her” He said and closed his eyes tightly. “ What are you doing there?” Alfred who just turned to the door asked. He closed the Door behind him and walked inside the room. “ What took you long to come in?” He asked the Assistant who was trying to hide his anger. “ I was on call with my Sister” He lied. “ Okay” Al
Few days later, Vanessa came out of the room all dressed up. She was wearing a plain blue gown with ribbon on the shoulder. Her shoes were low level in black and she hanged her black bag on her am. She packed her hair in to a ponytail and her lips were painted in nude. “ Where are you going?” Derek asked coming out from the kitchen, he put down the plate of Noodles on the dining take and removed the apron he was wearing. “ Wow! Why an Angel. Are you going on a date with The President?” Derek asked Grinning from ear to ear. Vanessa Chuckled, she adjusted her dress and turned back. “ Mara, come out” She said before turning to Derek. “ I’m not going on a date” She said to him and he was Disappointed. “ I thought you are going on a date. It would be a sight to behold if Mara’s Dad could see you like this. He will fall over hill for you. Vanessa, you are a Queen, you look so pretty , so wonder and so….” She interrupted him with a wave of hand. “ Enough! I know I look so pretty” She

Please make sure you don’t make any mistake in doing your job, our guests are from upper classes and none of them would appreciate it if the foods doesn’t taste Good” She looked at the crowd again and smiled. “ Those of you that came with their kids, we’ve already preserve a place for your kids to be safe. We don’t want to endanger them by keeping them close to the cookers” Vanessa looked around and discovered that almost all the ladies in the room had a child each. “ kids, follow me” Lillian said and the kids followed her. Vanessa thought Lilian was taking the kids out of the kitchen and when she saw a corner in the kitchen where there were no electrical appliances, she heaved a sigh of relief. The kids sat on a chair each facing their mothers. Mara waved to Vanessa and she smiled and waved back. “ You can start working, your names are Written on your aprons” Lillian said showing them the aprons whi
“ I don’t care what people would think , Mara is my Daughter and her mum will soon be my wife” He smiled. “ What da!” She lowered her voice and stood up. The Assistant Entered the kitchen, He was shocked that his Boss was with Mara and Vanessa. “ Hi, Bully” Mara said and Vanessa giggled. “ You..
