Chen was returning from his part time job late in the night when he saw a young Lady and an handsome man. The man was actually on his knees a if begging for mercy.
Chen decided to mind his own business but he was curious. He tried to pick out from the words they are saying but he could not. The only thing he heard was that "I still love her". He turned to see who the man was but to his surprise, he was the famous celebrity Paul.
" Why would this handsome celebrity begging a lady on his knees? Who was that Lady that the celebrity knees down for? "This was the series of thought that went through his mind.
When he cannot get an answer to his thought he made to leave that was when Juana noticed him. With a wave of hand she called one of her guards and whisper some words to him.
Few minutes later Paul was gone and Juana headed home.
" He his gone, "she said only to realized that Abigail was no longer in the parlour. She sat down heavily on the chair. Some minutes later the guard she sent after Chen returned.
" He lived down the street with his blind mother. Is full name is Chen Qin,"the guards said.
"Thanks. Prepare tomorrow we are heading to his place," Juana said and went to her room.

"Ko,ko,ko,"that was Juana knocking at Chen small house down the road.
It was his blind mother who responded.
" We are looking for Mr. Chen Qin,"Juana said.
"What did he do?" she asked alarming and continue please, "forgive him."
Juana looking at how worried the woman was said, "actually he did nothing wrong. It is just that he submitted his CV to our company and he got employed."
The old blind woman smile and called Chen.

Abigail get up from the bed only for her to realized that the time has passed. She went straight to the toilet had a shower and brush her teeth.
The dream she had yesterday night came to her head, clear as if it was a reality. She saw a beast running after her and that was what caused the riot. The beast looks exactly like Paul.
A feeling of guilty rushed down her making her to shiver. She knew that Paul loved her but she cannot brought herself down to love him. The dream was also one of the causes.
She knew that the only relationship she can take is a contract one. She wished she was like her twins sister but there is more to it than having a man she love. It is a curse she must and have to live with unless she is able to divert the curse.
She wave the thought out of her mind. She had her bathe, put on a light dress and headed to the dinning room.
There the Butler told her that Juana had left the house. He also told her that Juana asked her to stay until she comes back.
She pay no attention to what the Butler was saying. She opened the food and what she saw was cous cous Alegerian.
"What is this?" She shouted.
"Cous cous Alegerian," the Butler replied"I know but I do not like it. I prefer chicken supreme,"she said lowering her voice when she realized how harsh her words were the other time she spoke to the Butler.
"Okay ma," the Butler said bowing. Be went to the kitchen and call Erica the housemaid.
Erica had started working with Juana since she was a little girl. It was her father Vincent who is the gardener that she use to follow to Juana work at Juana mansion.
Juana had lobe Erica as her own child.
Vincent, a dark haired,heavy set and good looking. Vincent who is about 45 years had magnetism and mystique interaction with people. His hair was a glossy black and his eyes were that uncanny blue which was almost violet.
Erica on the other hand has a long hair which she usually packed as pony tail. She was a kind of woman that men look at twice. and woman too for that matter.
It was not that Erica was very beautiful but she had what the French call Je ne sais quois, that indefinable something that made her special and caused heads to turn where ever she went to.
Today was no exception.
She is a tall young woman of about five feet eight,and slender. She had a a willowy figure and legs that were long and shapely. Her thick,chestnut brown hair was packed as a pony tail. She was too bony to be called pretty but she had a smooth forehead and high, slanting cheekbones, sharp as blazes gave her a thorough bred.
Erica had a flair for clothes and today was no exception.
She wore a tailored cream silk tunic with its simple round neckline and three quarters length sleeves,worn over a straight black silk skirt, was as crisp as it had when she first bought the clothes.
"What would you like to eat," Erica asked making Abigail to realized she is lost in thought.
"Chicken supreme," she replied.
Less.than an hour Erica returned with a plate of chicken supreme. Abigail ate in silence and went back to have a nap.
