"Wake up mama. Mum. Wake up!" My rising bell today is the melodious voice of my little angel. Any voice would have woken me up from the very moment my name is mentioned, but not with this one. The more Jah mentions my name, the more it relaxes me to sleep.
"Mummmm!" And I felt the sadness in her voice. Maybe she's just whining. I thought and still continued sleeping. Sweet Lord, I can't believe this was the same way I worried my mum when I was younger. I seriously need this sleep but Jamera isn't giving me the chance. She started crying and screaming. I'd be a dead goat if my parents hear her cry.
"Jah?" I looked at her surprised.
"Yes mama" there's no drop of tears under her eyes.
"Jah how could you cry without tears. You just want to worry mummy" I picked her up and sat her on my tummy. "You want to be naughty naughty, isn't it?" I tickled her and she really laughed her ribs offs.
"Did you brush your teeth before coming here?" I looked at her, waiting for her to make her usual face when she wants to tell a lie.
"Yes" her face remained the same. "Nanny Jazlyn brushed it for me. I didn't cry, I promise I didn't cry" she said so proud of herself.
"Oh wow, you're big girl now aren't you? Good job dear. Do you like nanny Jazlyn?"
"Yes!" She screamed and started bouncing on the bed. "Mum she..she reads my story nicely. She gave me chocolate and told me not to tell anyone. I like her" I smiled at her innocence. If Jazlyn knows that their little secret isn't secret anymore, she'd be scared around me because I told her not to give Jamera any chocolate if she demands it. All the same, I'll act like I know nothing.
"Mum where's uncle....eerm daddy Chris? He promised to take me to the park" she said happily. I've not even thought of where Chris is. He didn't even leave a note to tell me where he's left to. I picked my phone and dialed his number. He picked on the third ring.
"Jamera wants to talk to you" I know he doesn't want to talk to me and I'm not going to crowd his space either.
"The park!" Jah screamed cheerily. The beautiful smiles on her face is soon replaced with fresh tears. I know what that means, disappointment. She ended the call and gave me back my phone.
"He couldn't make it right?" She nodded sadly.
"He said he had to go somewhere with grandpa" she hugged me.
"Awww my baby. I'm sorry about that. Mummy can't take you there either as I've to check on something. The goodnews is, you can go there with Jazlyn" she removed her face from my neck and smiled. "You can have the whole day out, shopping, playing and having fun okay?"
"Yeepy! Thanks mommy." She pecked my cheeks and exited the room. I know she's going to break the news to Jazlyn.I got out of bed and did my usual morning business in the washroom. Jeez , I forgot to tell Jazlyn not to give Jamera anything that has peanut in it. I rushed back to the bedroom and used the house landline. I don't even know which department to call to get to talk to her quick. I called the kitchen and they directed my call to Jamera's room.
"Ma'am?" Her tiny voice spoke through the phone.
"Yes, please Jamera is allergic to peanuts so don't let her go close to any." I said sternly.
"Consider it done ma'am" I sensed trust in her voice. "Alright, take care of my baby and don't let her speak to strangers okay?"
"Yes madam" she said playfully. Jazlyn is still a baby. I found out from mum she's twenty one years old and the youngest of our workers. Normally girls her type are all in school but situations has gotten her here. I'll try helping her out before I leave to Italy. I hanged up and took a quick shower. I've to get to the estate that I'll be working at today. Though I've not booked any appointment with the anonymous owner, he'll still love to see me. Lucas gave me directions to the place and it's very easy to get there.I wore a short black dress and did a simple makeup with a little touch of lip gloss and let my hair lose. Thanks to my ancestors who happened to be German's, I've a curly long hair that rests on my shoulders. Stepping out all glamed in my glass slippers with important files in hand, I picked my car keys and stepped out of the room.
"How beautiful you're looking my girl."
"Thank you mama" I kissed her cheeks and sat next to her at the dining table. "Mmm I'm indeed home" I picked a slice of the toasted bread and spread it with mom's homemade jam. "Damn! The recipe got better mama" I forced to speak with my mouth full.
"It did" mum said with a broad smile.
"Wait till you taste mine" she almost choked on the fruit juice she was drinking. "Are you okay?" I asked alarmed. Mum burst out laughing after I handed her a glass of water and she finished gulping it down.
"Since when did you start touching a kitchen item?" She laughed harder.
"I hope you'll still laugh this hard when I surprise the entire family with my cooking skills." I shrugged. "Mum, I enjoyed breakfast but I have to get going."
"Where to? You just got home yesterday and you need rest and a good family time." Mum asked surprised that I'm resuming work so soon.
"I've to check on the company that I've signed to work with" I picked the files from the couch.
"Which company is that?" Mum stood up and began tidying the table.
"Granite Homes Company Limited."
"Oh really?" Mum smiled. "But how did you get in touch with Ghana's fast growing Billionaire?" Mum folded her arms her chest, waiting for an answer.
"I've not even been in touch with him yet. Everything was made possible through Lucas. Lucas said he's one of his good friends. Mr.Anonymous saw Lucas' decor and persuaded him to talk me into working with him." I explained everything to mum who's smiling ear to ear now.
"Why do you call him anonymous dear?"
"Mum, I don't even know his name. Can you imagine?" Mum shook her head. "Well to tell you the bizarre aspect, he trippled the amount I charged him when I refused to present myself here."
"Interesting. So how long are you going to be here?"
"My stay here depends, but it won't be that long."
"That's good to hear dear. I wish you the best of luck dear." Mum relaxed in the sofa.
"Thanks mum. Can you tell me his name? I've searched various websites for personal informations about him but there's nothing. No picture of him. Not to talk of his name" mum shook her head.
"Why the rush dear? He's your business partner now. You'll definitely know a lot about him soon. Just take your time." Mum said and rushed out of the hall when she realized that I wasn't going to accept that.
"Drive safely" she shouted and banged the door after she entered her room. That old lady can be corny sometimes. I proceeded to main door and stepped out.Litsquaaaaaad✨
It's been long since I gave a shout out so here goes nothing.
This chapter's shout out goes to
