It had taken hours since mother and child waited for Brian. Although, it seemed he was part of the family already even though miss Lucy wasn't willing to see him, Julie was just on her neck to speak with her boss.
“Mom, will he come?” She asked again and again while miss Lucy shoves her question. Miss Lucy didn't want to see Brian because she felt embarrassed by his presence, she knew he had questions for her, but she was not willing to answer.
“Argh!” Miss Lucy yelped. Julie had just hit her on the side where her injury lies.
“Mom? Are you okay?” She asked scared, staring at the spot which she screamed.
“Yes…” She lied hissing with pain and just then, Brian walked in holding lunch packages in his hands.
“Did I come late, sweetie?”
“Yes!” Both mother and child replied and then stared at themselves. Brian wasn't expecting miss Lucy to reply to him.
“You would have come earlier than perhaps, I would have gotten my peace of mind” she queried referring to Julie's constant request.
“Oh I'm sorry Julie, am I forgiven?” He pleaded, smiling at her, and she smiled.
“You have a cool boss mom… I thought he won't make it” Julie whispered naughtily and miss Lucy glared at her.
“I'm his secretary okay… it's his duty except he wants the company to crash” she whispered back.
“That's a lie… he's good to all, if someone was in your shoes, he'll do same thing” she mocked. Brian didn't mind what these two were whispering about but was just unpacking the lunch.
“You little wench!” Miss Lucy whispered, almost standing up as Julie ran to hide behind Brian.
“Miss Lucy can't hurt you, okay… I'm here now” he defended and Julie nodded, blotting out her tongue at miss Lucy.
“You…”
“I think it's enough yelling makes you get wrinkles and besides, you need to recover” Brian teased as miss Lucy closed her eyes in annoyance.
AIMBO BEAUTIFUL CARE
“She's alive!” Peter lamented pacing to and fro. Perry scoffed at him and tapped his fingers on the desk. It was one thing taking over her properties in Los Angeles and another to confirm if she was truly dead.
“What do we do?” Peter furthered, scattering his hair.
“Party of course… besides it's not like she could defeat us”
“You're not too savvy with her are you?…” Peter paused and came closer to Perry, who was sitting on a chair opposite him. This was miss Lucy's company and one of her pride so to say.
“She could take us unaware, and it would be risky” Peter rages and Perry laughed wild
“I got it under control, relax” Perry beckoned while Peter smirked at him
“Where you aware she was alive” he asked confused at how relax Perry was. Perry heaved a sigh and then chuckled at him,
“You just told me, and it is best to act fast”. Peter agreed to his statement, he pulled a seat close to Perry and sat beside him.
“Do you ever wonder who started this scandal in her life?” Peter tabled curiously staring at Perry.
“I don't care, but that person helped in any way by making our plans easier” Perry muttered happily.
“Gosh I need some women to fuck here” he furthered, getting fed up with Peter's irrelevant questions.
“When your wife finds out you're cheating…”
“What? Are you going to tell her?” Perry barked and Peter winced like a scared puppy.
They both heard someone knocking on the door.
“Where you expecting someone?” Perry posed while Peter made a mockery face at him.
“This is an office, not my house! Anyone can walk in because it's a business place”
“Fool! Isn't your secretary or receptionist meant to inform you?” Perry sneered, standing up to open the door. They both looked at the being before them and then gazed at themselves.
“Yes? How may I help you?” Peter chanted calmly.
“Just here to get some details on miss Lucy” the man on dark coat post and Perry swallowed hard. Who was interested in knowing about miss Lucy when she's believed to be dead. The man was still by the door and Peter gestured at him to have a seat while he gives out the information this man needed, besides, it might benefit them too, that someone was after miss Lucy.
****
It was getting late and miss Lucy was meant to stay at the hospital for two days, she couldn't leave Julie all alone and called Vanessa,, but Vanessa had gone to care for her sick mother and won't be returning for a week. Julie kept praying that Brian takes her in to stay, however when miss Lucy doesn't trust him, how was that going to be possible.
“Mom, how about I stay at…” She freezes in her speech after glancing at the daring glare miss Lucy gave her.
“I want to be discharged today…is there no way that could happen?” Miss Lucy clamored.
“No, your health matters now” he responded as miss Lucy groaned.
“How about she stays over with me”
“No!” Miss Lucy panicked and Brian smirked at her. What was going on in that corrupt mind of hers?
“There's a family hang out at my place… there's no need to be worried” he responded yet, miss Lucy wasn't going to buy that answer.
“Mom, please…”
“You barely know him!” She fumed winking her eyes at Julie to refuse the offer, but this child wasn't going to back down.
“His your boss, it's ease to sue him if anything happens, okay…” She said, and once again, Brian was quietly watching mother and child whispering about him.
“So, what's your decision?” He cuts in after waiting a little longer for their whispers to be over, and it didn't seem it was going to be any sooner.
“Well… I was thinking?”
“I wasn't asking you but Julie” he interjected and miss Lucy scoffed
“I'm her mother anyway, and you can't change that, okay." She reprimanded holding on to the bedsheet. Brian licked his lips, annoyed which made miss Lucy's heart skip. He was hot with that act of his, especially now that his lips glowed.
