Pretty World of Humans

Chapter 5

A week has passed since that night and I got this new habit of checking the newspaper first thing every morning.

I couldn't really help myself to be calmer. I so badly want to know who the murderer is.

I have this feeling inside me that I might get into trouble. I still have that piece of paper and the memory card with me. Keira is going to drown me if she finds out I haven't got rid of it. But the thing is, what if I actually do get in trouble and this piece of paper saves me with whatever is written on it.

What language is it anyway?

And that card was not any ordinary card. It would only fit into a certain type of computer which I don't even know about. I kept both of it back into my coat pretty sure nobody's actually going to look into it.

That's when dad came to my room telling me that he had someone coming up and that he'll be glad if I could make some tea. So I grabbed my phone and went to the kitchen and began making some tarts.

"Amelia? What're you doing ?", Emily asked coming into the kitchen.

"Dad's got someone coming over. Could you please serve the tea?"

"Sure dear, who's coming by the way?", she enquired.

"I don't really know. Might be one of his old friends or some business partner", I told shrugging.

We are done just in time as the bell rang right then and we could hear voices outside. Emily went out to greet them while I proceeded to clean the kitchen. And that's when my lady love chose to enter.

"What a mess have you created? How dare you enter my kitchen? I want it to be just the way I left it.", she huffed walking out.

I murmured an 'okay', least bothered and continued cleaning, which I would have done even if she didn't warn me to better do it.

"Amelia!", Dad called out for me from the sitting room.

"Yes, dad?", I asked walking out of the kitchen after removing the apron off me.

"Come here, child. Have a seat. My friend here wants to meet you."

I went into the sitting room and saw dad sitting next to his friend on one couch and Emily on another, so I went and sat next to her.

Dad introduced me to his friend, Park wilson. I was confused as to why he did not introduce Emily but maybe he did it before I came so I just brushed my thoughts away.

Mr. Wilson was quite a tall man in his 40s. His utterly black outfit released a mysterious aura out of him. Why do I not like him already? Well it's not like I have to like him. But I still don't like him.

All this time, I could sense his eyes on me and no where else. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, I excused myself and went back to the kitchen.

That felt so awkward.. Ugh!!

Soon, when everything was done, Mr. Wilson was about to leave not before giving me a weird look. He then got into his car and soon pulling out of our drive. Why am I not having a good feeling about this?

After dinner, Dad informed us that he'll be leaving to Weshton tomorrow with Mr. Wilson for an important meeting and won't be back until weekend.

Emily just nodded hoping she could go too. Emily worked under dad in his company, so dad thought it would be alright taking her along and that left me and Eliza together for three whole days which I'm already dreading and I bet, so is she.

Anyway, I dressed up and left for work. I know it's not going to be very pleasant for me to be at home alone with her. So I made up my mind to work extra hours.

Once I reached the cafe, I straightly went to Keira.

"Why are you late?", Keira asked as soon as I appeared in front of her.

"Bother something else, can I stay with you for a few days? Dad and
Emily are going somewhere and I have to be with mom alone", I explained to her.

"Wait! when?", asked Keira.

"Tomorrow!"

"Ohh no! I am extremely sorry but I am going to my uncle's place for
two days, but you can stay over today".

"No I really don't need to stay today but the next few days but since
you won't be there, its okay", I said sighing.

"I'm so sorry, I wish I could cancel going to uncle's place but it is important as you see, he isn't feeling very well", Keira said looking down.

"Oh Its fine, your uncle will be alright. Don't worry", I tried consoling Keira.

"I hope so. See you later then Bye", she hurried to take her shift waving to me.

Keira was my only hope to stay away from home and that has gone.

I also went in to get started and turning around, I see Mr. Holmes coming towards me. He is the manager of this hotel and definitely the big boss who keeps ordering the employees around.

But why is he coming to me? I pretty much managed to keep myself in his good side. Did something happen now?

"OMG Did I do something wrong?
