The story shifts at the Octav family home, or more specifically on the veranda of the family home, where Lucille appears to be busy mopping the floor while arching her back and singing a faint song. It seems like she's already lost in her own world and her song. Meanwhile, Maria, who was there, just shook her head because she couldn't bear to see it.
" Lucille, be careful mopping the floor, you'll fall, " Maria said to her sister-in-law.
" Yes, I know, I'm not a little kid, " Lucille answered.
" Stink, you're so hoity-toity! " Said Maria with a sarcastic tone, then she immediately entered the whare.
" Bugger, having a sister-in-law like her! " Lucille sighed bitterly as she continued to mop the floor. Not long after that, Maria appeared again in front of Lucille.
" Lucille, have you finished mopping the floor, aye? " Maria asked Lucille, looking tired as if she had just finished cleaning a hall, even though she was the boss in the house and made Lucille do everything as if she were a maid.
" I'm nearly finished, why? " Lucille asked.
" After this, I want you to go to Angela's school and keep an eye on her, " Maria instructed Lucille. Lucille didn't agree with the order, as she thought that watching over her niece was a silly idea and a waste of time.
" Oi? Why should I keep an eye on her? Like there's nothing else to do! " Lucille objected.
" Never mind, don't object, you better just obey my orders, " Maria said firmly, her eyes bulging at Lucille as if she wanted to swallow the creature alive.
" No!! I'm knackered, I want to have a kip today!! " Lucille with her elbows denied her sister-in-law's orders, she was too lazy to obey Maria's orders, who liked to treat her like a maid, not like her sister-in-law. Instantly Lucille remembered that if her parents were still here, their fate would be much different. While Maria who heard Lucille insistently refusing her orders, she immediately thought of another way so that Lucille would obey her orders.
" Oh, so you don't want to follow my instructions, eh? Alright, I'll inform your brother, my husband, about your attitude towards me and I'm certain that there will be no peace for you after that, " Maria threatened Lucille, as the woman appeared to be contemplating something.
" It's risky if she complains to Michael about my behaviour, I might get in trouble again, what should I do now? Just obey her commands? " Lucille pondered in her heart.
" How? Do you want to follow my orders? " Maria asked as she squished her waist.
" Sweet as, I'll go now! are you satisfied now?! " Lucille gave in because she didn't want to fight anymore with her sister-in-law who really didn't want to give in to her.
" Well, that's it, a good sister-in-law is supposed to obey my orders, " Maria said. Lucille just looked at Maria as she entered the house with a look of displeasure.
Whether she likes it or not, Lucille is obliged to obey the commands of her picky sister-in-law, it's really unfortunate for Lucille to have a sister-in-law like Maria. Lucille quickly completed her tasks and went inside the house to prepare for Angela's school.
Lucille has just arrived outside the school grounds where her niece, Angela, is a student. She glanced at the guard hut and the surrounding area, concerned that the security guards might still be on duty. She wanted to make sure it wouldn't be too hard for her to enter the school grounds and keep an eye on her mischievous niece. However, the security guard was nowhere to be seen.
" Thankfully there was no guard, otherwise it would have been hard for me to get in, " Lucille said, feeling thirsty as she hadn't had a drink of water since finishing her chores. "I'm thirsty anyway, I better go buy a drink first!" she added, before entering the school grounds and making her way to the canteen, which wasn't far away.
While in the main corridor of the school, a graceful woman was seen looking at herself in the mirror. She was a teacher at the school named Linda Watson, she looked very happy right now with a big smile.
" Before heading into the classroom to teach the kids who are eager to learn, I better put on my makeup first so I look beautiful in front of them and the other teachers, " she said with her usual high-pitched laugh. Miss Linda Watson took out her makeup powder from her handbag and applied it to her face. " Alright, all done! Time to teach! " she said again, but when Miss Linda Watson turned around she accidentally bumped into Lucille who was carrying a drink. The water that Lucille was carrying spilled and soaked the teacher's dress. Miss Linda Watson screamed in frustration.
" My frock is all damp!! " exclaimed Miss Linda Watson, gazing at her drink-soaked dress.
" Whoops! My bad, " Lucille apologised, feeling remorseful for her carelessness.
" What? It's easy for you to apologize, huh? I bought this frock at a high price and I worked hard to get it yesterday, " Ms. Linda Watson said to Lucille, glaring at her as if she were a tiger about to devour its prey. " And now you've wet this beautiful frock of mine?! " She added.
" But I've already said sorry, it's just a frock that can be washed again later! " Lucille said, wondering why such a minor issue was being blown out of proportion and made so complicated.
" I don't want to hear any of that! I want you to compensate for the damages! " Miss Linda Watson said loudly.
" What? Compensation for what? Your frock is only wet and not damaged! " said Lucille, not accepting that she was being demanded to pay damages.
" It's true that my frock wasn't damaged but my image was tarnished, because of you I had to teach wet in front of all my students and that will ruin my image as a teacher you know, " said Miss Linda Watson again. " You have to pay the damages now! "
" Cruel! I don't want to, after all it's your fault too because you didn't look first to see if there was someone passing behind you, " Lucille said. ," I don't want to pay for your damages, I don't have any money! "
" You should!!! " Miss Linda Watson tried to force Lucille.
" I already said I don't want to pay your damages! " said Lucille with a voice that was just as loud.
" Ah, I don't give a toss about all that, I want you to pay the damages too, mate!! " said Ms. Linda Watson again, her face seemed to have changed like a vampire who wanted revenge on Lucille. Too scary to look at.
" You're really keen on pushing it! " Lucille said, feeling really stuck. Suddenly, by chance, Angela and a new teacher named Charlie Dean pass by and see the fight happening.
" What's happening over there? " Charlie Dean asked.
" Oh my goodness, that's my aunt! " Angela said. Meanwhile, Miss Linda Watson's face was as red as a cooked crayfish and her hands were ready to strangle Lucille's neck. Lucille, facing her, of course felt guilty and wanted to escape from this woman.
" Blimey, the vampire's gonna lose it, leg it!! " Without muckin' around, Lucille took off like a shot and hightailed it away from Miss Linda Watson's rage.
" Oi, don't scarper!! " Miss Linda Watson yelled as she hotfooted it after Lucille.
" Aunt Lucille!!!! " Angela also followed her aunt.
" Angela, wait! " said Charlie Dean who was also chasing Angela who was chasing her aunt, oh my gosh the four of them were playing catch up anyway.
