"Morning Dad"Eugenia said as she walked to the dining to have her breakfast

"Morning dear"her dad replied and continued

"You got home late yesterday"

"Yeah dad and I'm so sorry for coming back so late." she said.

"Why were you out so late?"he asked

"I was out  with a friend dad"she told him.

"Ok,no problem" he said and continued

"Larry is back"

"Larry?" She asked giving confused look

"Yes Larry"he said

"Who is Larry ?"she asked

" Jude Benson's son"he told her

" Larry"she said trying to remember who he was .

"Oh,Larry,his only child ?"she finally remembered

"Yeah"her father replied

"How's he?"she asked with a smile

"He's fine,he just returned from New York"her father answered

"Wow!"she exclaimed and continued

"I don't think I'll recognize him the next time I see him , it's been years since we last saw each other, "she said and laughed.

"I'm sure , you can't"her father told her with a  smile.

"You guys met once"Her mother told her

"Yes Mom,on his tenth birthday"she confirmed

"You didn't even greet me, you just greeted your dad and sat down"her mother reminded her

"I am sorry mom"she apologized

"No problem,hope you slept well?"her mother asked

"Yes Mom,I slept like a baby"she answered.

Ejiro, the maid brought the breakfast which  was bread, scrambled eggs and coffee to the dining.

"Madam,should  I get you sugar?"ejiro asked Eugenia

"Yes"she replied

"I know oga and big madam doesn't eat sugar"she said and smiled before she entered the kitchen to get Eugenia sugar

"So mom"Eugenia said and winked at her mom trying to make her understand she's still expecting her present

"What's that?"her mom asked with a big smile

"What's that?"Her father asked

"Her present"Mary opened up

"Oh,that"Jude said and smiled

"You told her about it?"he asked

"Yes darling"she answered and they both laughed

"Ok,no problem"he said with a smile as Ejiro walked in with the sugar .

"Madam this  is your sugar "Ejiro said as she dropped the sugar

"Oh thank you so much dear"she thanked her and smiled at her

"Ok,I have a surprise for you and a good news for you"he told his daughter

"Ok dad"she said with a lot of excitement in her voice.

"I will get you the present now but the news can wait"her father told her

"Really?"she asked

"Yeah"he answered

"Ok"she said

"Go Into my room, check inside  my drawer whatever you  see there is yours. "he told her.

"Ok dad"Eugenia said and hurried upstairs

After Eugenia left the dining,Mary faced her husband.

"I know she would be happy"Mary told her husband

"Yeah she will"Jude said with a smile and continued

"At least we can get her through that first"Jude told his wife

"Hmm,I hope so, but please think about this first"she told her husband

"Mar..."as he was about to complete his statement Eugenia interrupted

"Dad I found a car key"she said happily

"Yes, it's yours"Her father told her

"O my God!"she exclaimed and thanked her dad

"Your car is outside"her dad told her

" Thank you so much daddy"she squealed happily and went outside  to check out her new car..
