A lady in her middle age made her way inside the enormous sitting area, " I thought to myself that she was my grandmother compared to the age she seemed to be and my grandfather's age, and since grandpa was so pleasant when welcoming me maybe my grandmother would be caring so I stood up and greeted the lady who had just taken a seat in front of me and since I had no photo of her and been the first time I hoped it to be memorable. " Good evening grandma, I hope you had a great day, I am Matlida your granddaughter. " I stated as I stretched my hand for a handshake and a broad smile curved on my face before I was snubbed off. " Nancy, could you bring me a glass of water to kill my thirst? " She yelled out before she spun her head to gaze on me from where I stood reluctant and I could see her gaze scan through my body from head to toe. " You must be the new maid, right " She asked with a smirk curved on her face " No ma'am, I know this is the first time we are meeting, and I am sorry that this happened this way but I am the daughter of Aurora Miller your daughter which makes me your granddaughter. " I stated and in the back of my head, I thought she would start recollecting the past and she would start to cry as I watched movies when families that had been lost and come to meet but that was my illusion since what dumbstruck I was that she broke into soft mocking laughter. "Hahaha, What did you just say, That you are my grandchild? " she inquired again in a high voice. " Yes, I am your granddaughter. " Ariana stated before Nacy came back to the enormous room with a glass of water that broke in the tension in the chamber. " Excuse me ma'am here is the glass of water that you requested. " Nancy stated and she was about to stroll back to the kitchen and leave the two before she was halted halfway. "Nancy, where is Amos? "The middle-aged lady inquired. " Mr Amos left a while ago with the chauffeur since he had something urgent that he needed to take care of. " Nancy stated " Did he say, where to? " The middle-aged lady inquired " I am sorry ma'am but he didn't say where to since I left him chatting Ma'am Matlida as I went back to the kitchen to finish off my chores. " Nancy stated in a low voice. " Okay and did he say anything about the lady here? " The middle-aged lady inquired curiously. " Yes, I remember sir addressing ma'am Matlida as his only granddaughter before I left. " Nancy stated " Okay, You may leave now and I will call you when I need you here. " The middle-aged lady stated before he took her phone that she had placed it on the couch and started to dial some digits on the screen, The phone buzzed and there was no response and she tried like two more times before there was no response before she strolled out from the enormous sitting area and made her way out through the main entrance as the call from the other end buzzed. " Ooh my God I didn't expect she would be this rude to mention how she even looks down on people like they are thieves or trash. " Matilda stated as she murmured to herself. " Excuse me, Maam are you speaking to me? " Nancy who passed by inquired " No, No, no," Matlida stated as she looked in another direction to hide the embarrassment. " I hope she did not hear me, I feel like I am going to freak out. " Matlida cursed in her thoughts. " I am sorry but you are right about her, She might be the boss but she is a human and she is supposed to treat people like people, not like animals. " Nancy stated " Did you just... "Matlida was cut short. " I am sorry If I startled you but the fact that you stated it, I felt like you should know it. " Nancy stated as she was about to leave sensing the ambiance between them her heart was racing in her chest as she thought of how she would get fired and taste her wrath before she was stopped halfway by Matilda. " Wait, You are Nancy, right? Matilda inquired " Yes ma'am, Next time don't compliment on something that you overheard it might cost your job. " Matilda started to the lady who stood in front of her. " Okay, Maam but you won't report me to her or will you? " Nancy inquired as she held her breath. " Would you wish to lose your job I smell something burnt from the kitchen. " Matlida started " I am sorry, I should go back to my work. " Nancy stated before she bowed down and left as her footsteps hastened and she disappeared from the thin air.
