Julie could hear some creepy sound from beneath her window, she knew it was her friends who had come to say hi which meant food was cooking up. One would wonder how she happens to be friends with thieves and yet miss Lucy haven't discovered such, especially when the food tends to run out of stuck. In defense, she would claim there are two extra mice which leaves around, and poor miss Vanessa would search around until her limb got weak or worn out yet, the mice can't be found. The kids were also smart on not being caught by the adults because Julie gave them specific time to show up during the week. Julie ran towards her window and found Charles and Kate waiting for her to pay homage through food, but it seems today, they weren't here for that but to just have fun. She was really missing her mother and why haven't she woken up yet? Was she so tired that she didn't realize it was way too late for the day because even though miss Lucy was late for everything, she always had a specific time that she adheres to regardless of what but now, it would soon be noon! Perhaps, because she was drunk and Julie can't blame her for waking up late.
“Are you coming along!” Charles's Voice invaded her thought as Julie shook her head. She can't leave when miss Lucy haven't seen her. It was going to cause panic possibly just like what happened in Los Angeles that she was kidnapped.
“But you promised!” kate blasted
“I didn't know it was a Saturday…my mom is spending the weekend with me okay!” She defended.
“Argh! So, you aren't coming! You're such a mummy girl” kate teased and Julie glared at her.
“Lucky you, you got a mom” charles mocked running towards the fence to jumped out of the building. Kate gazed at Julie and smiled.
“Say hi to her for me…” She paused and ran towards the fence.
“Introduce us to her someday! Bye” she concluded and Julie waved a goodbye sadly because she missed out the fun of going to the beach with her friends because of miss Lucy, although, she wasn't even going to show up either way, today was a day out with her mother after countless days in the office. That someday could be never because miss Lucy doesn't fancy kids and Julie should be really lucky that miss Lucy had time for her. Talking of miss Lucy, it was time to storm into her room because when she wakes up really late, all the blames would go to Julie for not making attempts to make her rise early for the day. As Julie was about to knock on miss Lucy's door, she heard the door knob of the sitting room turned.
“She didn't spend the night? Or she stepped out for an exercise” she thought accepting the second suggestion, at least, she was home now. Julie ran happily towards the door to await the queen's return and when the door finally got opened, Brian was standing before her. She peeped behind him if she could see miss Lucy, but there was no trace of her.
“Hi” she saluted timidly.
“Hello pretty” he replied coming in. Julie was suspicious on how he got the keys and why was he with key if the door was locked from inside which meant miss Lucy wasn't in her room but had step out.
“Wow seems you're all alone locked up…miss Lucy” he agonized and Julie began to move back.
“She's not here, when she gets back, I would tell her…”
“She sent me to you” Brian cut in with a smile. He could see how nervous and insecure she felt being alone with him.
“Hey don't be scared” he beckoned placing a call to miss Lucy because this child doesn't seem to believe anything he says, yet they call themselves friends.
“Hello?” Miss Lucy responded from the phone and Brian gave to Julie to listen to her mother's voice. After the call, Julie handed over the phone to Brian while taking her seat.
“I don't trust that voice, I want a video call with her then I can believe it's my mom” Julie petitioned making Brian bite his lips. This child was just like her mother, wanting every proof to be legit.
“Okay, according to your wish”. Miss Lucy was attempting to close her eyes when another call jerked her up. It was Brian again and this time, requesting a video call, she groaned. Couldn't he just do the duty of bringing Julie peacefully without pestering her with calls?
“I can't make video calls with no makeup on.” She panicked. The nurse who was coming to change the intravenous fluid swallowed hard at that statement miss Lucy made. Was there truly a need to apply makeup instead of being grateful that one was alive after a severe injury. Julie kept a fixed eye on Brian, she was acting like a strict mother on her son.
“What now?” She beckoned swinging her legs.
“No response but you spoke to her right? And she called you names which only her does” Brian explained calmly because he was about to explode on this little boss lady.
“Alright, at least I got a phone In case of emergencies” she threatened and Brian chuckled loudly while suit ran to her room to freshen up. She had a lot of questions bothering her and this man only told her miss Lucy was ill that's why she was in the hospital which meant she slept there all night. In a short while, Julie appeared pacing towards his car. She was rushing to see her mother and know how she was fairing as of now. Julie hopped into the car immediately Brian opened it. Brian heaved a sigh at her and sat to drive. At least, he was uniting both mother and child after a day off away from each other, was it even a day yet?
