(at the amusement park) Layla and Zoey were playing happily they ride the swing, dance with a clown, they played with almost everything in the park, after they were tired of playing the Assistant bought them ice cream, and they sat down on the chair under the big three and lick their ice cream 🍦 happily minutes later the assistant received a call from Mr. Hayden to bring the children back so they can go home after he end the call the assistant asked them if they want to buy something else but they said they are okay with the ice cream they are taking. “ Okay then, let’s start going your parent are done with the meeting,” the assistant said the journey from the park to the company took them almost an hour, and before they got to the company the children already fall asleep 😴 “ the children already fall asleep sir, should I call the second driver to pick you up so it won’t be inconvenient for you,” the assistant asked his boss Mr. Hayden: don’t worry, I will sit at the front while my wife will sit at the back, we will manage. thank you for helping the children today hope they enjoyed their self. The assistant: yes sir, I will be on my way the driver already arrived Mr. Hayden: alright, meet me at home by 8:30 tomorrow morning The assistant: okay sir, goodbye madam “ where are we going sir,” The driver asked “ don’t you see the children are asleep where else are we supposed to go, to the club or what” Mr. Hayden shouted at him driver: “ am sorry sir” Mr. Haden: sorry for yourself he said irritated The noise make Layla wake up but due to the heated conversation that was going on she decided to keep it low and pretended she was asleep. “Honey, are you sure those people will want to support you and vote for you tomorrow” Mrs. Hayden finally broke the silence at that moment Layla wanted to stand up but hearing this she decided to keep low to hear the rest of what they wanted to say she has been wondering about how her parent company turned into her uncle's own since morning but she didn’t allow that thought to take over her feelings “ don’t worry honey, have already collected the numbers of some shareholders that are easy to convince, when I get home I can just call them and bribe them” “ how many do you think we can bribe, you know we need like 15 votes to become the CEO of the company” Mrs. Hayden replied Mr. Hayden: don’t worry my lovely wife everything will be settled by me, very soon I will be the CEO of the country and you will be able to enjoy as you like all this while Layla was listening to everything they said, she was heartbroken she never expects her uncle to do something so illegal like that how ill they bribe people just to take over my parent company she thinks meanwhile, the couple did not have any idea she was awake, they thought the children Was Asleep minutes later, they arrived home, when the maid heard the horn of their car she immediately came out to welcome them as she wanted to collect her madame bag she was told the children are in the car and they were asleep, so she went ahead to carry them, she doesn’t have the plan to carry the both of them together but as she got to the car she saw Layla was awake. she first helped Layla get down from the car and carried Zoey inside. On the way inside Zoey woke up due to the movement. she raised her head and struggled to get down, noticing this she put herself down and let walk herself. As she got down she saw Layla “ Layla you also awake, let’s go inside” Layla was not in a good mood so she kept silent and followed her, they went to their room to get a change of clothes After they were done Zoey came out to eat but Layla stayed in her room she was still thinking of the reason they have to bribe the shareholders just to become the CEO of her parent’s company, but she was still a child she doesn’t know anything about it even thou she has been following her parent there when she has nothing to do at home or during holidays but she doesn’t know what’s going on there. All that she knows about the company is about fashion, they design clothes. “ why may say he bribe them to be the CEO, he is my dad's brother it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take over, “ she thought Everything just seems confusing to her she doesn’t know anything about the business world due to she is still young. She was in her room all this time, she doesn’t want to see anyone she just want to be alone. She is the type of person who likes to know everything, When her parents are Alive she asks for anything that confuses her from them, this is one of the reasons why people like her. minutes later she decided to step out of her room because she was getting hungry, she went straight to the dining but didn’t meet any food The maid was in the sitting room all this while watching Television with Zoey she noticed Layla and realize she was hungry “Layla are you hungry what do you want to eat,” the maid asked “ I want to toast bread, can I get that,” Layla said “ yes, I will go prepare it for you now,” the maid said The maid was tired because she has been working since morning but she just have to help her with but the fact is If she has told Layla that she was tired Layla would have changed her mind to eat something she doesn’t need to prepare for her. Layla noticed the hesitation before she replied so she took the initiative to ask her if she is tired Layla: are you tired? the maid: yes I am, but don’t worry I will help you prepare it Layla: in that case let me help you the maid: no Layla you don’t need to, it’s not appropriate for you okay this is my work let me do it Layla refused to take in Layla: it’s not fair you only have to do all the work, being seven years old am old enough to do house chores from now on I will help you with some house chores, I even want to learn how to cook so I can be cooking my food myself so let me join you the maid: okay then since you want to learn the both of them went into the kitchen The maid showed her where things are kept and what they are used for, and she taught her how to prepare toasted bread, Layla was smiling and happy through the maid was teaching her things she loves learning new things and she is always happy to learn new things “ When do you wake up to do your house chores,” Layla asked eagerly “ well I wake up around six o’clock” the maid answered her Layla: hm, that’s early minutes later the toasted bread was done, Layla took it to the dining table to eat “ Are you not going to eat, we prepared it together, we are supposed to eat it together now” Layla said with a doll face as it bribing her to come and join her “ do you want me to join you,” the maid asked smiling at her. “ yes, we friends ain’t we? So let’s eat together and do house chores together from now on,” Layla said happily she already loves the maid, she is the only person with who she wants to make friends wholeheartedly by herself, the maid joined her at the dining table to eat What is your name? Layla asked “ don’t tell me you don’t know my name all this while, you can call me Sophie that’s my name” the maid replied Layla: oh wow you have a great name Sophie: thanks you also have a lovely name Soon later they were done with their food and go to the kitchen to clean the plates Layla volunteered to rinse the plate while the maid wash them she was not tall enough, Sophie declined her request suddenly she saw Layla going towards the door she didn’t expect Layla to give up just like that but she kept quiet and let her go.
