A New beginning

chapter 42

Vee

" Hi Violet, " Alicia says walking towards me giving me a hug. She doesn't even spare Rita a second glance." You look spectacular in that dress."

"Thank you."

" Alex gave it to her as a gift, " Rita says looking at Stacy, a wicked smile on her face. " Isn't he just romantic!"

We all know that she's trying to piss Stacy off but it's not working. Stacy still has that fake sweet smile on her face, acting like an angel . Sincerely speaking, she does look like she just dropped down from the skies.

She's just so beautiful! Alex and her are clearly the perfect pair!

" Hi Alex, George " Alicia says giving them both a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Alex, " Stacy says walking towards him, giving him a tight hug. " "You look good as usual. "

" Hi, " he says pushing her gently off him. " Meet my girlfriend, Vee." He pulls me to him, his hands on my waist.

" Yes, I actually have met her, " she says eyeing me from head to toe. " Isn't she a cleaner at George's law firm? "

" Well...atleast she works hard for her money, not like some gold diggers I know," Alex says smiling at Stacy.

" And I hope you are smart enough to know that when he says gold diggers , he means you, right?" That's Rita.

Rita is really something else. If she doesn't like you, she'll tell you straight to your face, not giving a damn what you think.

" Wait.. Vee works as a cleaner?! How could you let her do that Alex? " Alicia asks.

" It's not my fault mum, I've tried to make her quit, but she's to stubborn ! She doesn't like things to be handed to her. It's like she's allergic to free stuff or something ," Alex says his gaze on me as i glare at him. He's lucky his mum is here or else!

" Wow Vee, you never cease to amaze me! You just made it clear that you are not with Alex for his money and that makes me adore you more," Alicia says taking my hand. " But you have to promise me you'll stop working, especially now that you are pregnant. You have to take care of yourself and after the baby is born and you still want to work, you are always welcomed in my company. "

" Sure, I promise, " I agree since I know that this is all for show and none of the things she said, is ever going to happen.

" Mum! You'll just accept a poor cleaner to be your daughter in law?! Stacy ask in disbelief.

" You thought, just because she's poor and a cleaner, I wont accept her? I've never been one to judge people by their financial status. Don't you know that when I met Joe, he was as poor as a church mouse but I still fell for him and got married to him."

" Yeah, and look at where that got you! He's never made you happy. Do you want the same for your son?"

" Look Stacy, I only brought you here to see for yourself that Alex has moved on and is super happy ,so that you can do the same. Am not here to discuss my marital problems, okay? Now let's go eat," Alicia say leading the way.

I wonder how the whole dinner is going to end. I mean, they have only been here for less than ten minutes and the temperature in this room is super high!

" The food smells like heaven!" Alicia says as Alex pulls out a chair for her. " You never disappoint Robin. "

" Thank you ma'am. Excuse me, " Robin says walking away.

" Let me, "Alex says rushing over to me, pulling out a chair for me to.

I can see George, looking at us, and he doesn't look happy.
