She wasn't in the mood to say anything neither did she want to offend the lady who took it upon herself to talk to her.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"Lauren but I'm called Renny" she replied with a stiff smile.
Now Lexie could remember.
"Ain't you Kim's friend?"
"Yes ma'am" she replied shyly.
Lexie gave her a smile. She has been looking forward to see her. Kim has always told her about Renny and how she is her life savior.
"I've heard souch about you Renny" she said with a warm look.
Renny was suprised at the way the atmosphere around them suddenly change to warmth. It was as if she was the one controlling the atmosphere. Lexie heard her thoughts and smiled.
"Don't mind Kim, she exaggerates a lot" she quickly defended.
Although she was enjoying the now condusive atmosphere.
"Pardon my manners. I'm Lexie" she said softly.
Renny smiled.
" Who wouldn't know you ma'am. You are the only daughter of the Devikings family. It's my pleasure to meet you ma'am" she bowed.
She then discovered that it is those whom they want to welcome that they will show their warm side. Most of the time all those rumours about them are just talks of those who were not accepted by them. They seem friendly to her except her temporary boss though.
"Are you Carl's new secretary?" Lexie asked.
Renny gave a complicated smile.
" Kind of ma'am".
Lexie was confused by her reply and she showed it with her looks.
"Kind of?"
"It's a long story ma'am" she said shamefully.
To her, her predicament was so long, how could she explain it in such a period.
Lexie also couldn't read her mind clearly because it was so clustered and she believed her that it was indeed a long story.
"Then I'm interested in the long story" she said with a smile.
Renny didn't expect her to say that so she widen her eyes.
"Is it a secret?" Lexie mocked.
"No no no" she quickly said waving her hand.
Renny didn't want her to misunderstand her words.
" Who will have a secret with that tyrant" she thought and she started to get angry.
Lexie heard this and smiled.
"But the tyrant didn't want you to feel bored" she thought. " Did you offend the poor girl?" She mind linked Carl.
Carl didn't reply immediately that Lexie thought he wasn't going to reply her.
"What did she say?" She heard him talk back.
" Nothing but her thoughts are filled with insult for you and how she wish to kill you" she said laughing.
" Don't care" he groaned.
"Well I th....."
Lexie couldn't finish her word before someone called her name.
"Isn't this Lexie Devikings?"
Lexie and Renny turned to look at the person who called her. Lexie smiled broadened as she saw the person.
"Karel" she called happily.
The two hugged each other happily.
Renny watched has the two hugged then now she knew the rumour about Lexie is fake. She just don't want lot of people around her.
"Didn't know you were in town" Lexie said.
" Yes baby wanna give you a damn surprise" she said laughing.
Renny looked at the beautiful lady standing before Lexie. She was black but her beauty couldn't be hidden. She knew that men will be all over her for all her beauty.
"You really did darling" Lexie too laughed.
Karel is Lexie's best customers and they seem to be closer because Karel is friendly and accommodating. They sometimes see when Lexie goes to their province being that Karel lives in a different province. Lexie loves her so much and so does Karel.
"Didn't know you know Paul" Lexie said.
Karel nodded happily.
" He is a friend of my father. I came in his stead since he is not too well to come" she replied.
Lexie's face became pitiful.
" I'm so sorry about that" she said.
Karel tapped her lightly.
"C'mon don't be. He is getting better" she smiled.
Lexie too returned the smile.
Renny watched as the ladies communicated. She didn't know what to do. She looked around and discovered she was all alone. Even Lexie's husband was nowhere to be found.
"Why didn't he allow me to follow Kim when he knows that he is going to eventually abandoned me" she grumbled sadly.
She felt like to cry but there was no tears. She then decided to comfort herself with food. She then head to the food stand.
Though the Devikings were socialising, they didn't forget to be vigilant. They were so at alert looking for anything suspicious but everything seems normal. This normality is what is making the them uncomfortable because it has never happened that they were in same room with Vin and he wouldn't pick on them.
