ANGEL'S DIARY

Chapter Fourteen

The Ciara I know would not just go into a relationship without my consent. After having a nice chat with her with. I came to understand that he has always approached her. But she agreed because she has the intention of helping me out. Ciara and Mike wants to create an internet distraction for Fans and Netizens. At first I thought it was a stupid idea but I never expected it to help so much.

After they updated their relationship status on IG. They immediately became the topic of discussion. Mike is an influencer and Model too but Ciara works with me. Netizens began to compare Chris and I with Mike and Ciara. Things began to move smoothly again.

I kept ignoring every incoming calls from my Dad and Mom. I never want to speak with any of them for any reason. Jane meets me up at my shop.

" Jane do me favor, can you pay for the cakes you have eaten today, at least if I calculate them it's up to five thousand naira".

" You wish. You own the shop so why should I pay you?"

" Because I actually own this shop"

" But you are my lovely sis. You won't starve me right. I'm your baby sis, the only girl who's giving you the lastest family gossip"

This girl is nothing but a troublemaker. But I miss her any day she did not come to the shop. Jane is quite different from Maria. She's a honest, bold and outspoken girl. She might always obey my parents but once she says she would not do something, there's nothing you would do to get her to do that. I know this measure my parents are trying to use to get me married will never work on her. Jane is lovely but quite stubborn, she's the one who gives us, Maria and I, the latest news from home. Still the one who takes an extra cake home for my Lil brother.

It was a Tuesday afternoon when Jane came to my shop. She was looking stressed out. She just went straight to the coach and slept off. When I was about to get off work, I woke her up.

" Jane, are you alright?"

" Yes, just tired. Can I sleep over at your place?"

" Why not. Let's wait for my driver, he would soon be here. By the way what got you so tired?"

" Actually, the payment for the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations has commenced and I have not the money yet. I don't want to meet your parents for the money so I had to work extra time after school"

" Why don't you ask Dad for money?"

" I don't want someone that would decide my future or course choice for me please".

" How much is it?"

" Angel, you don't need to stress yourself. Look I need to tell you this just in case. You will not have control over my life for any reason so I don't need your help just give me a house to sleep in tonight"

" What kind of job is that by the way?"

" I work as an usher at a club here in Lekki that's why I thought since you stay here it would be easier for me to work from here".

" Jane, the club of all places?"

" They pay really well"

" It's too dangerous, did you weigh the merits and demerits?"

" Sis, trust me I'm a very good girl. Besides..."

" Does mum know about it?"

" I told her am going to stay with a friend to make money for my fees but even if they find out they won't do anything less than yelling so I got these already sorted out".

" Call your account details. If you told me you were going to stay with me for sometime to get a fresh air from our parents, it's understandable but for this it's too risky and not worth it. You can just concentrate on your exams, call mum and tell her you are staying with me. She would feel more at ease".

I sent fifty thousand naira to her. She looked at me with teary eyes and hugged me. Afterwards, she called mum to tell her she would stay with me for one week before going home.

" Let's go, my driver is here".
