Amelia
"I'm happy you honoured our invitation, it's so nice to see you" his uncle's wife said with a bright smile, "I can see that you came with a friend, who's she?" She asked raising her brows at me. I took a glass of water and gulped some quantity of water nervously.
"My bad, everyone, this is Amelia Whites, she's my PA and a friend just like you said, aunt" boss replied and I smiled politely. "Amelia?, Wow, I'm so happy to see you. You are no more the timid Amelia that allows herself to be bullied unnecessarily. You are still friends with Daisy right?" The lady beside Steven asked, Boss raised his brows at me in confusion, "You attended kingdom high?" He asked and I nodded in affirmation before turning to the lady, "you seem to know a lot about me, what's your name at least?" I asked and she chuckled.
"I can't believe you don't seem to remember, I'm Alexis. I remember inviting you and Daisy to my birthday party in our senior final year. Tch, it's a pity we weren't very close then guess I didn't like your vibes then but I think I like this lady before me now" she said with a wink and I laughed slightly. "It's good to see you again Lexy, I'm sure Daisy will be happy to see you too" I said to her and she nodded in agreement, "let's hang out when we're free, if that's okay by you" she said. "Sure" I answered poking my food.
"By the way, this is Steven, my brother"she introduced. "I know him" I replied smiling. Strangely, the room was quiet all through my discussion with Alexis. My boss's uncle and his wife ate silently and my boss was just staring at his meal, lost in thought. The people I was told about earlier was also quiet as the guy typed away on his phone. The lady chewed on her gum loudly as she glared daggers at me. She muttered some incoherent words at me before focusing back on her phone. I just hate her guts immediately.
"Congratulations Rolland for matching the top second. Your parents will be proud of you" his uncle said with a smile, "thank you Uncle" boss said quietly. "I don't know if you will be comfortable with this but I want to make a request from you" he said again. "Go on".
"So, there is this young man I'm helping in his studies. He just finished studying business administration and is now in search of a job. I will appreciate it if you would take it upon yourself to hire him in your company and train him. I promised his father, my friend that I will help him become successful. Please son, do this for me" his uncle said pleadingly, "it's okay uncle, he can come on Monday" Boss explained and his uncle smiled in appreciation.
"So dear, have you met my son and daughter?." His wife asked me, "This is Evans, my son and this is Lily my daughter" she said pointing at the two people whose name were on red. They stared at me with pure hatred and I looked at boss, he shrugged and I turn back to them, "nice to meet you, I'm Am..", "save it, it's not necessary" the Lily girl snapped cutting me shut.
"I don't know when Rolland will grow up and do things in a matured way. Always bringing in beggars" the Evans said with scorn and my ears inched at his sentence, how could he?. Boss's hand folded in an angry fist but Lexy held him trying to calm him down. "Evans, that's not how to talk to your brother" his mother cautioned, "brother?, Rolland, my brother?. Tell me something else mom. For how long do I have to keep thinking this scum is my brother?" He screamed staring at Rolland in disgust. I just sat quietly watching their drama. "That was how he brought Steven and his sister to this house claiming they were like families to him and what did you guys do! Accept them and now I'm sitting on this table with pure strangers who claim to be family. Now he brought another weakling and soon she will be family" he said in a sarcastic tone. "Since you are so good at bringing in strangers and making them family, why don't you just introduce them to your dead parents who are your family and stop disturbing my peace!" He yelled and his uncle hit the table furiously, "Enough!!!!!!!" He yelled. "Evans, apologise to your brother right now" he said.

"It's not going to happen, it's high time this trash of a brother know where he belongs" he replied. "You know what Evans, leave us" his uncle said to his son. "It's not happening dad, the strangers should be the one leaving" the Lily girl said, "and by strangers I mean Rolland and his friends together with the filthy whore he brought along" she said with scorn and I gasped moving to where she was standing and like a possessed person, I gave her a resounding slap then turned to Evans, "enough of the insults pig, you could have simply said that our presence was not appreciated instead of acting stupidly and childishly" I said angrily to him.
"What?!!, You dirty whore, how dare you?" He shouted and raised his hand to slap me but boss stepped in between us and threw his hands away making him stumble across the room. "We will take our leave now uncle" he said dragging my arms out of the house.
Rolland
I must say, I was really stunned at her behavior, I had to take her away from there as I tried hard to control my anger. I dragged her into the car and angrily drove out of the compound. We rode in silence as she stared out of the window. I focused on the road driving on high speed on the highway. Amelia didn't say a word to me and I couldn't ask for more, right now I need to go somewhere to clear my head.
Amelia
Tears threatened to fall out of my eyes as we rode to where I could not explain. Rolland was angry, I was filled with fear as he rode on full speed. I couldn't cry, I can't cry, I promised my self not to and I had my lens on. I closed my eyes and leaned on the car seat. Soon the car stopped and I opened my eyes. "Kingdom high" what is boss doing here of all places and how did we even get here in the first place?, I thought to myself as I stared in surprise.
"Come with me, Mel" he said calmly and I followed behind.
