Chapter 9

"Aunty Clara, who is that?" Anna asked as she and Clara walked back into the ballroom

"She is just a friend" she lied

"Are all friends like that?, I mean she is even shouting at you, aunty Clara don't be friends with her anymore,she is a bad friend"

"Okay I won't be friends with her anymore, let's go back inside, what do you want to eat?"

"Aunty Clara do you have other friends?

"Why did you ask?"

"If you don't, I can introduce you to my friends, and they can be your friends, so you won't be with bad friends again"

*laughs* "mm I will love to meet them"

"okay let's go"

Once they were, she took her to them and introduced her to them

"After she introduced her, she sat down and that was when she saw how the place looks, to the other people here it's normal but to her, it's like heaven, it's like walking into a movie. A string quartet plays softly in the corner, waiters carry trays of champagne and hors d'oeuvre, crystal chandeliers hang like frozen firework above the heads of the rich men talking business and rich women dressed in vintage designer gowns.

She starts to shrink, feeling eyes pass over her like she don't belong here____like she is just the *the help* but before that feeling could devour her she felt someone tap her from behind.

There she is

Anna in her glittery champagne colored dress and sparkly shoes beams up at you "come on" Nana(grant grandma)asked for you” before she could speak she grabs her hand and tugs her through the heavy wooden door that leads to their sitting room "let me introduce you to my family" she said and when clara entered she saw a lot of people, and then again she started feeling nervous

"Come in" eldest madam bane called for her and she came close to her just then someone came in, and Clara identified her immediately of course she will, it's actress favor, her favorite actress, and she smiled at her "hi am favor, you must be Clara Fairchild, Anna told me a lot about you"

Clara nervously introduced herself "yes I am, nice to meet you" just then Anna came to Clara"let me introduce them to you, everyone, this is sis Clara" Anna beams, standing in front of you like a proud little ambassador "she takes care of me when am sad and sick"

A light wave of awkward chuckles ripples through the group

The first to step forward is Anna's first grand aunty, Olivia bean, dressed in rich emerald silk sipping champagne

She arches a perfect draw brow, examining Clara"so you are the almighty Clara, Anna have been telling us about, I was looking forward to meeting you, now that I have you really as she says"

"Swears Anna never said anything about any other person even people that has worked as her nanny like she have about you" Anna's third aunty said

You gave a small, nervous smile "I just try my best"
