“Why do you need to go and study? It’s not like you are going exams like the others,” the matron said.
“Yes matron, I do have an exam tomorrow.”
“What exams are you doing?”
“CAPE ma’am. I am doing A’ levels.”
“Anna you could go ahead and study for your exams,” the matron said.
“Yes ma’am,” Anna said and they saw her walk up the stairs. Lee was looking at her every move and even saw when she turned back to look at him and wave before the wall blocked her.
“Matron we would return tomorrow to negotiate more about this. We have somewhere else to be at the moment,” Michael said before opening the door and Lee was the first to walk out before Michael also exited.
“Call Davis and ask him to take us to the supermarket,” Lee said.
“Yes sir,” Michael said and then he made the call while they were strolling back to the beach house.
Davis had just pulled out of their garage when Lee and Michael arrived at the beach house en
“I did say that we would be visiting again today,” Michael said. “Yes, you did. How can I be of assistance to you gentlemen?” the matron asked. “How about we help you with these bags inside first and then we can sit somewhere more confidential and talk,” Lee said, before the matron could reject their help Lee had already taken the bags that she had placed on the ground after getting out of the taxi. “Thank you,” the matron said since her hands were now empty and the two men had already walked towards the door and were waiting for her to open the door for them. Annabel opened the door and led them to the kitchen, “You can place them there, one of the caretakers would pack them away a little later,” she said. She watched the two men place the bags on the counter, “Come this way,” she then said as she showed them to her office. “Gentlemen take a seat,” she said while pointing to the two chairs that were across from her. Lee and Michael looked aro
When he came out he saw Anna hiding to the siding of the step. He just took a glimpse at her before walking away like he didn’t see anything. “What is it?” Michael asked when he looked in the same direction. “It’s nothing, I thought I saw something but I didn’t,” Lee said. Anna watched them walk away, she was about to come out from by the stairs when she heard the matron talking, she slowly walked towards the office door and listened. “About the girl, did you already make the arrangement…Someone came yesterday and today asking for her…I told them that there is already someone that wants her…The young man keeps insisting that he wants her…I tried to get him one of the other girls…Yes, I agree with you that Cindy would be the best candidate but the man only wants Anna…I tried, I even told him to leave…I don’t think this one would be as easy as the rest, this is already the second day he came…How do you expect me to do that?... I understand that after all Anna i
Anna didn’t really have to study for the eight paper one exam papers because she had revised everything for the paper two exams. She knew that she told the matron that she wanted to study, it was an excuse to get some rest as she could sense that things were not going to be quiet for her until she left. That night the matron called her in her office and told her since she was turning eighteen she would become someone's wife and as such, she had to know how to do all the house chores. The matron added laundry duty, sweeping and mopping, cooking breakfast and dinner, preparing snacks, stock taking, folding and ironing clothes and even taking care of the babies. On Wednesday Anna was very tired after doing everything, she wanted to tell the matron that she had an exam on Thursday morning and she couldn’t help with some of the chores, but when she was going to tell the matron Gemma walked in and said that she needed Anna to go into town to do something for her. T
At half nine Lee and Michael were already waiting for Davis by the roadside as Davis was reversing the car into the road to pick them up. They arrived at the orphanage in five minutes time as the house was only five houses away but because Davis mother also wanted Abigail to go with them and Davis had to explain to his mother that it was some business and confidential things that the boss was going to do, it took them a little longer. Lee and Michael knocked on the door, the matron was already dressed to head out and was shocked when she saw them but then became annoyed as she thought that they gave up when she didn’t see them the day before. “I have some business to take care of, I cannot delay my appointment,” Annabel said. “It’s nothing much, we are even heading into town and we can offer you a lift, that way you wouldn’t have to wait to get a taxi,” Michael said. “Fine, but we have to make it quick, so what do you want to discuss?” Annabel asked.
Lee remained quiet the entire ride into town, every time she was about to say something to him to discuss the marriage between him and Cindy his phone would vibrate and the man would be busy messaging someone. “Boss we have arrived,” Davis said as he pulled into the underground parking lot of a building. Annabel looked around her surroundings, she found the place to be isolated but then every few minutes while they were waiting for the man to say something she would see a few people walking out of an elevator or into it after a car pulled out and another pulled in. “Where are we?” she finally asked. “We have arrived at the building of the attorney that I plan to work with,” Lee said. “Matron I hope you don’t mind we continue the discussion at his office,” Lee said. “Sure, sure,” she said. Only when they enter the elevator did she recognize which building they were in, in this one building had three of the best attorney. She smiled, ‘Ma
“Not for us, the current matron would have a lot of work to do before next week Friday, but we would give her some assistance. Can she use these forms to get their birth certificates at least?” Lee asked. “Yes, but I would have to inform them in advance so that they would know she is coming and to not allow anyone else in during that time. It would be best if she gets the birth certificates today before four this evening,” Derick said. “How long would it take for you to finish the document for her to sign?” Michael asked. “I am almost finished,” Derick said. “Wait there is something I want you to add in,” Lee said and he was about to say something but then Annabel’s phone interrupted them. “Michael, take her outside, make sure she doesn’t let others know and that she doesn’t run away either,” Lee said. “Yes boss,” Michael said before grabbing Annabel’s hand and carrying her in the attorney’s office that was across the corridor.
Anna had to come into town to meet with Jessica as she made an agreement to visit her at work once every week and since she was unable to do it on Monday and Tuesday and knowing that Jessica would be working on that day she decided to visit. Anna also hoped that Jessica's shift would end early so they go to the supermarket together and she could get a few things. However, while was crossing the road a visit broke the red light and scrapped her, she wasn’t seriously injured, she just got some scrapes on her hands and knees, nothing that some ointments wouldn’t heal. She didn’t bother to make a scene and continued towards the hospital. When she arrived Jessica was still attending to the inpatients that had appointments so she waited among the inpatients until Jessica was free. When Anna entered Jessica’s office, Jessica wasn’t too surprised to see Anna with another set of bruises on her skin. “When this happened? And what caused it?” Jessica asked. “Wel
Anna felt the tingling feeling and she wanted to pull her hand away as she was starting to blush, but he had a firm hold on her hand which was difficult for her to get her hand out of. She gave up and when they arrived at the supermarket she said, “You can let go now, I have to push the trolley.” Lee reluctantly released her hand, but he followed her inside. “What do you have to get?” “Just a few things to top up the fridge and some dry food products,” Anna said heading towards the market section first. “Just a few? Why don’t you pick up everything one time?” “The matron only gave me two hundred and I cannot spend it wildly,” Anna said. “Fine, pick up everything you think you need. You will pay with the two hundred separately and the balance I would pay.” “Are you sure you want to pay the bill? I could spend a lot,” Anna said. “Just pick them up, I want to make you all the children have healthy and enough food. Think of i
