Dad please could we talk for a bit?" Sephora pleaded

"Look, honey, i'm so busy, you can talk to your mom about it", he grabbed his suit ,his PA took his brief case and they rushed out.

"Huh!", she sighed and went to her mother's room.

"Mom i...", she pushed the door open

"Sephora?, i was live on the internet why didn't you knock?", her mum barked then dropped her phone down.

"Sorry. Just wanted us to talk"

"Like right now?"

"Mhm"

"You'll be late for school and if it's about your fees,your books, i've paid everything Or, you want new accessory?"

"Mum it's none of that, can't we just talk like a family?"

"Darling go and get prepared for school it's getting late and you're still on pyjamas, we'll talk during breakfast "

" really?"

"Yes dear"

"Thanks mum"

"Okay. Enough of the praise just go get ready "

"Sure".

She dashed out.

She wore her uniform, sat in the dining hall and was being served breakfast by the chef "

"Where's my mum?", she asked

"She left for work few minutes ago"

"What!. She was in her room earlier "

"She said something came up at work and that she's sorry "

Sephora slammed the table, fumes in anger

"What the f**k is wrong with THEM!!", she screamed

"It's okay "

"I just want to talk with my parents or is that a crime?"

"They are busy"

Sephora gave the chef a quick glance, then hissed.

"Tell my driver to get the car ready in a minute "

"Yes ma'am "

...

Camille grabbed her bag when her phone rang

"Who could it be?, i'm late already ", she murmured

"Hello mum"

"Are you still at home?"

"I'm about leaving now to catch up with the bus"

"Could you do me a favor?"

"M..umm?, like right now?, i'm late already "

"Please Cams"

"What favor?"

"I forgot the drugs for my patient in the cabinet please could you bring it over?"

"Huh?, you're joking right?"

"Camille please i don't wanna get fired, Mrs Lydia is not at home, so just bring it over"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but i'm not coming "

"Just get the drugs and I'll grant you three wishes please "

"You're not genie"

"Whatever you want i promise "

"Even if i say i wanna go be with dad?"

"...is that what you really want?"

"Mum deal or no deal?"

"Fine!. I'd send you the location "

"Please hurry, time is not on my side"

Few minute later Camille was at the entrance of the Van wagon Estate.

"Excuse me sir"

"Who are you?"

"My mum works here as a nurse and i came to give her this drugs, she forgot it at home "

"I'm sorry but, this is the wrong address "

"Are you kidding me?"

She dailed her mum number

"Mum the security won't allow me come in, so just come and get it"

"Hand him the phone "

She handed it over to the security

"Please I'm mr Rowan's nurse, kindly allow my daughter bring in his medicine before he collapses"

"If anything goes wrong, you'd be held responsible "

"Fine"

Call disconnects

"Come in little girl"

Camille narrowed her eyes to him

"I'm not little, mr 90s", she runs in.

She stopped to catch her breath,put the drugs in her school bag and strolls towards the huge elegant building, while admiring the scenery of fresh trimmed flowers.

She stopped, as her mouth opened in awe, staring at the huge fountain that stood at the center of the building.

"This is magnificent "

"Camille!", her mother snapped

"Mum you work in such an immaculate place and you never took a picture?. I guess we're not gen zees for no reason"

"Hand me the drugs and leave before Mrs Lydia arrives "

"Chill mum, it's in my bag and i need to empty it and search "

"Search?"

"Yeah"

Hep stared at her for a while, then sighed .

"Come in"

"Sure", she smiles

Camille emptied her bag on the love couch

"Here", she handed her mum the drugs

"Thanks "

She packed her bag and walked out

"Byee"

Outside, she peeped around before talking pics, and posing. Then suddenly a blue ferrari drove in

She froze on the spot

"Omg the ferrari is so beautiful .on a closer look though"

Lydia came out of the car, and beckoned on Camille to come close, using her finger.

"...and who are you?"she says after taking a good look at her appearance.

"Good morning Mrs Lydia, i guess.I'm Camille. The nurse daughter "

"Oh. I see. Hep never told me she had a daughter.like you. Why aren't you in school?"

"Thanks for the compliment though.I came to deliver drugs to my mum, she forgot to take it with her "

"Okay... What's the name of your school?, the school batch is rather small so i can't see it"

"Norman High School "

Lydia freezes

"Who's the principal?"

"Mr Craig"

"Oh", she sighs in relief

"I have to get going, i'm running late. Its a pleasure meeting you ma'am"

"Why don't you get in my car and my driver will drop you"

Camille's smile broadens

"Really?, your Ferrari?"

"Its not a big deal "

" I'd love that "

"You're gonna be late if you keep talking "

"Thanks "

Lydia walked into the living room and beckons on Hepzibah.

"Welcome ma"

Lydia swings her bag on the couch and sits.

"I didn't know you had a child"

"Of course i do. Did you meet her outside?, hope she didn't create any scene?, i'm sorry if she did"

"She's funny though. Family members aren't allowed here Hepzibah. Besides where's her dad?"

"I'm a single mom "

"Ohh. Too bad. I don't want to see her here again "

"Yes ma'am "

"How's my husband?"

"He's responding to treatment "

"You should get a doctor report one of these days "

"Next week will be good. Lets watch his health this week "

"Are you done treating him?"

"Not yet"

"I want to have a word with him, so be quick"

"Sure"

Hep left

The blue Ferrari drove into the school in a rough style, catching the attention of those around.

Everyone nearby waited to see who owned such a luxurious car.

Then...

The door opened.

One polished shoe touched the ground.

Then another.

Everyone waited.

Finally, Camille stepped out.The courtyard went silent.

Amber's eyes widened.

“What the f**k!-Newbie?”, her grip on the stair of the third building terrace tightened

Freda gave a grin.

"I like her aura"
