" You both know each other?" One of my contractors Nico asked.

“ Not like we really know each other, we just met on my way here, I crashed into his car," she said.

“ Oh, there we go again," the man said as a slap landed on the back of his head.

“ Please, I'm sorry for whatever she might have done, my friend here can be careless sometimes, so pardon her," Nico said.

" Why does everyone think I'm careless, don't ask me to help you with anything ever again,” she said to Nico in anger before turning to me.

" I'm sorry once again for the accident Mr Gonzalez,” she said before running out of the building.

“ Don't mind her, she's just being dramatic," Nico said as we continued our way into the building. One of the workers walked to us as he handed us helmets.

“ She's my best friend by the way, I left this at her place and she had to bring it for me," he said as he showed me the blueprint he was holding.

“ Okay," I said.

“ So I made a few changes and adjustments and I'd like you to look at them," he said.

We walked to a table in the part of the building that was almost done and then he opened the blueprint.

“ So this was supposed to be the pool area but we changed it to this place," he said as he pointed to the place facing the woods.

“ Why the change?” I asked.

" Remember that nothing is official until you give the go ahead,” I know that.

" With the pool area here,...” He said as he made demonstrations with his finger…"instead of here, people would get a better view while swimming, adding more allur to the building.” he said and I nodded.

He moved on to show me other things and then we went around the building to see how far the progress of the building had gone.

By the time we were done looking around I was satisfied with the work so far.

“ Well, Nico, once again I'm glad you're handling this project, I know it would be nothing short of perfection,” I said.

" Thank you Mr Gonzalez for trusting in me,” he said as he brought his hand forward for a handshake and I took it with a smile before he shook Leo.

" Well, I might as well leave you to get back to work,” I said as he laughed before I gave him a nod as Leo and I walked out of the building.

“ So where next?" Leo asked.

“ I thought you were the assistant?" I asked and he just shrugged.

“ To get suits, let's get ready for tonight," I said as we both walked to where our car was parked as we both got in as the driver started the car and drove off.

I can't wait to see the reaction on her face tonight.

********

“ I'm almost done Mom, what is wrong with you? What are you not telling me?" I asked as I parked my things inside my bag in a hurry and then I tied my hair up in a messy bun before taking my bag and walking out of the office.

“ See you tomorrow Samantha," I whispered to my assistant who waved at me before I walked to the elevator.

" Mom, come on, just tell me what is going on and stop making me worry,” I said but she just sniffled like she was about to cry.

Why the hell was my Mom being dramatic?

“ I can't tell you over the phone, just come home please," she said.

“ But Mom,.." the call ended and I had to pull it from my ear to really look at it. My Mom hung up on me after calling me and acting like our house has been set on fire with her in it.

Just great.

The elevator finally reached the ground floor and Rodrigo was already waiting for me.

“ Hey what's up?" He asked as soon as I entered the car.

“ I don't know but I think something is wrong, my Mom just called me sounding so sad and she refused to tell me what the problem is," I said as he started the car and drove out of the hotel.

“ Are you sure she's not trying to pull a fast one on you?" Rodrigo asked.

“ I don't know I'll have to find out, but the thing is she sounded really sad," I said.

“ Are you forgetting it's your mother we're talking about," he said.

“ You do have a point," I said.

The car finally drove into our mansion as Rodrigo stopped the car in front of the house and then we quickly got out of the car.

The first thing I noticed when I walked into our house was that the whole place was completely dark and quiet. Something that was unusual in our house, quiet, yes. Dark, no.

What the hell was happening?

“ Mom? Mom, where are you? What's going on?" I asked as I walked further into the house with Rodrigo following behind me.

“ Are you sure you're not being tricked?” Rodrigo whispered.

“ I don't know, I'll just call her," I said as I brought out my phone and just when I was about to call my Mom I heard a loud boom sound and my heart almost leaped out of my chest until the lights came on and loud ‘surprise!!!’ followed.

What the heck?

I turned and was about to give my mom an earful but whatever I wanted to say died in my throat at the sight before me.

I literally swallowed my words.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!!
