The True Daughter

A Den Of Shock

Jennifer's P.O.V.

"You fool,get out of here immediately. Can't you see that our guests had finally come?. i***t. Had it been that you came from work the very moment I called on you,by now,you would have been true in executing the little job I wanted you to do for us"Aunty Cynthia said,in an angry tone.

I still stood right there,not knowing what else to do. I wanted to be very sure that she wanted me to leave the parlor at that particular time.

Truly,the dudes that they have been expecting since,were the ones who were honing their car outside, symbolizing that they were present.

"Clara! Clara! Where the hell are you? Come out from wherever you are right now. Your man and his parents have come,"Uncle John yelled,as he strolled down from upstairs.

"Yes, dad. I am coming. Behold,I am here"Responded, Clara,as she was seen running out from the kitchen.

"Get out from here,you unfortunate creature"Aunt Cynthia said to me.

I quickly left the parlor in shame.

Although,I just wanted to see who the unfortunate son of a man who intends to marry would be. Even though I was leaving the parlor,my mind and interest was still present in the parlor.

Two minutes later,the guests came in. They were protocolled into the parlor,by some of the security men that were surrounding the mansion.

Soon,I wasn't hearing anything,as regards to their words. Everywhere suddenly became cool and full of silence. They were probably talking calmly to themselves. Soon,I heard a voice calling on me.

"Jennifer!. Jennifer"

I ran towards the parlor side,and found aunt Cynthia giving me orders,as if she was a nice woman.

She whispered into my ears,telling me to go get the tray full of fried chicken for the guest. At once,I went into the kitchen, and brought her orders. As I was bringing it into the parlor,I got attracted to the sight of a young man who was sitting down calmly, and putting on a suit.

I looked at him,and found out that it was no other person but the empire's manager,who was also surprised to see me. Of Course,he should be expecting before now, to see me being present,because he knows that I live with my uncle and his family. But I guess that he was more shock to see that I was the one serving them,while Clara and his mum were comfortably sitting down.

"Hi dear"The manager said to me,as he smiled.

"Greetings sir. Nice to see you here"I reciprocated also,with a smile.

Everyone, including his parents,Clara,and her parents, started to observe me strangely. A glimpse of silence filled the atmosphere for the little time I was still serving them the fried chicken.

"Who is this pretty young lady?"The manager's father asked John, my uncle. Uncle John didn't seem to be happy with his sudden question.

"Oh! She is just a relation of mine"He responded. I just smiled,in order to send a message that all was well.

"Hmm"The manager's father sighed,still looking at me in a strange way.

His observation on me was noticed by all and when it looked like they were unable to bear it anymore, uncle John decided to crush the subject on its head.

"I hope that there is no issue? Because I have seen the way you have been stirring closely at her?".

"Hmm. She looked like someone somewhere I know,"The manager's father replied.

"Wow! Really?. Actually,it's possible anyway,since they are different people around the world,who have the same faces. We can't really predict. Anyway,get back to your job my dear"Uncle John responded to him,as he informed me to go back to my previous role where I was staying.

"She looked like a good friend of mine,who is now late"The manager's father said silently,not knowing that his voice echoed. I just left their presence, without saying any further words.

While I was alone in the kitchen,I I was contemplating the last words of the manager's father. I don't even know who he is, and I have never seen him before. His words have a deep clue on some secrets,which I would try to find out myself.

"She looked like a good friend of mine,who is now late"His last sentences re-echoed back in my mind. It was very thunderous in my memory. At this time, I began to get some inspiration from his words.

"He may truly be my late fathers friend, unknown to me"I thought.

But first and foremost,I really need to know who he is first,and the kind of business he is into. This is because he looked like a very wealthy and prominent man to me.

When I looked at his wife who happened to be the manager's mother,I saw one who is self made and dependent on herself. Infact, mere looking at the manager's parents, they looked like people who are far richer and better than my uncle and his family. But they were very calm and human.

"Jennifer,come here with your unfortunate face. Where the f**k is that bastard?. Come here let me see you

Idiot"Aunty Cynthia's voice echoed .

It was immediately that I knew that the guests had left. I have no further ideas of whatever that must have gone on behind my back.

"Aunty Cynthia walked in,into the kitchen,and landed a heavy slap on my face.

"Bastard,"She said.
