Riele's POV
"Beep, Beep!! urghhh....Who Made this thing. I swear this alarm clock is gonna give me a heart attack one of these days " i say as i roll off the floor. Well, well, well, another day, another morning, another time to work and another irritating manager. Anyways I laid my bed, tidied up the room and hopped in the shower to get started with my day. 15minutes later, i step out and got dressed in some jeans, a lana del ray crop shirt and some slippers . I tied my hair into a bun and set off to work. I know .i knowww i' m walking to the hotel where i work. Its only 30 minutes from here and i don't have money for an uber or taxi so that's it.
I walk fast to the staff quarters upon arriving and change into my attire which happens to be a white long sleeved button up shirt with a cute bow tie and a red floral skirt and set to work.
50 rooms down and 20 more rooms to go plus the lobby, Ana rushes to me panting like she just ran a marathon or something.
"Madam what's up? wait lemme guess; i have to cover for you for the 20th time this month" i said looking at her with the 'you've got to be kidding me' look.
"whoa! Calm down missy.. well yeah you have to cover for me again and i promise this time, i will tell you everything ok" She touched my shoulders reassuringly while waiting for my response.
" okay then . You better hurry . Now scoot, scaddadle- i have work to do" she immediately hugs me and runs to get changed. This girl will surely cause us trouble one day. hmm
Finally1!! its 5pm and i get to go home, eat and rest.Whew, today was one hell of a day..... I reached my house around around5:45 practically running to the kitchen in search of my food but go to meet an empty table and a crying woman. My mood changed to a worried one as i approach my mother.
" Mom, what's the problem? why are you crying" i said as i watched her try to clean her tears and there i know she is about to lie.
"i' m fine dear, how was work"
" Mooooomm" i growled out in anger as a warning for her to start talking.
"ok fine, my friends at the market refused to lend me anymore food stuffs because i haven't paid my old debts and the fan in my room too is not functioning properly" She says crying bitterly. I know she feels like a useless mother right now..poor woman
" Don't worry mom, everything will be fine. Lets just sleep on an empty stomach tonight okay" i told her massaging her shoulders and scalp to relax her.
"but my dear you left home on an empty stomach and -"
" No, nothing mom,,lets just go to bed .i will find a way out ok. Goodnight" i escorted her to the room,tucked her in, made sure she was asleep before going to mine. I closed my eyes after praying with one thought on my mind 'i have to find a way of getting some money'.
