The entrance Examination
Wearing a grey sweatpants and a black small top and pink sneakers, with her black long silky hair packed in a ponytail, adding a little pink lip gloss and eyeliner, glancing at herself one last time in the oval shape mirror beside the dressing table, Valentina was satisfied with her simple dressing, with that she took her phone and dialed her friend number at the second ring a sweet voice sounded on the other line.
Hey babe, what's up you ready, she was obviously excited yep, Valentina replied are you prepared for the entrance exam, more than prepared Emily said with a smirk , as they talk Valentina grab her pink sling bag and car key, checking her wristwatch, we have just one hour Valentina said as she was descending the stairs nodding at the maids who greeted her.
Waiting for you miss pretty, Emily said back
Miss your breakfast is packed Abigail, Valentina personal maid then gave her the milk and sandwich. Valentina then rushed out of the house,
Okay where are you now, Valentina asked as she was about existing the compound in her blue Ferrari car, at the gate of course where else Emily replied with her eyes rolled, Valentina and Emily house is just 10 minutes drive
Being childhood friends, they never wanted to be far from each other, and what's more Valentina and Emily are both their parents only child, so their parents bought their houses not far from each other due to their children's request
On getting to her friend house, Valentina jumped out of the car passing her friend by and went to seat at the passenger seat.
Emily opened her mouth in disbelief, on seeing her friend coming out of the car, she thought her buddy wanted to give her a hug only for her to seat on the passenger seat
" .... " raising one eyebrow up while folding her hands under her breast making it more fuller, showing that there's no way she's driving
Valentina grinned at her friend mischievously from the car we are late, when coming back am driving okay, today's lunch on me, my treat okay.
After saying that, then Emily entered the car, tsk tsk this spoilt child, Emily couldn't help but grumble as she sat behind the wheel.
starting the engine to life
The car dashed through the road, forty minutes later, on getting to the school compound, the two girls were dumbfounded at the school buildings, it screams of luxury and maintenance.
They only saw the building on the internet and magazines but mere looking at it, .oh wow so beautiful the environment look so serene and calm.
Following the direction of the signboard, they got into the exam hall along with other student who came to write the entrance exam and everyone got seated according to their seat number.
Valentina and Emily got seated together making the two friends squeal in excitement, a lecturer stood in front of the hall, gave instructions to them and they got their exams started.
At Max Enterprises
In the conference room, eight people sat round the table delegating about the current issues of the company
We need a quick solution as soon as possible without entering into a debt, am afraid in the next following week our company will be declared bankrupt, Mr lockwood voice echoed through the meeting hall, as a major shareholder of the company he wouldn't want his investment to be ruined.
Out of the eight people sitting in the room thinking of a solution, everywhere was silent for a minute before Mr Maxwell finally voice out his own opinion
The next step we need to take is to meet the Quin's for cash injection, that's right, we won't be at loss and we can return back their money when the business picks up Mr Donald chimed in, Mr . Danvers who has been quiet finally spoke up, that can't be possible with that being said . Veveryone attention fell on him giving mr Danvers a questioning look, Mr Danvers cleared his throat and said
Old master is on the is on the sick bed for two days now and only a handful of people knows about it, the young master of the Quin just got back from abroad, and he's going to take over tomorrow
We still have 72 working hours don't we? it can still be solve Mr lockwood said, as the meeting was coming to conclusion, Caleb the secretary of Mr Maxwell quietly walk beside him and whispered something to him making his boss to bolt out the meeting room
Caleb stood behind and apologize on his boss behalf, telling them it was an emergency, he then bow out of respect and excused himself out of the room
At kings college, as everyone dispersed from the exam hall, Valentina couldn't keep her happiness to herself as they proceed to car, she keeps hopping and giggling like a child who got her favourite candy.
She was 100% sure she would pass the exam , because she and Emily were being tutored by one of the king's university lecturer who is her Dad friend
Can you stop being a baby already, it feels as if am baby sitting a 5 year old Emily snapped at her friend, well you couldn't expect less from me can you Valentina retorted back with giving her a nonchalant look.
You know what i just remember something oh yes snapping her finger Valentina stood in front of Emily,
What? Emily was getting impatient, she was overconfident in her answers, she didn't bother to crosscheck and when she wanted to do that it was too late for her.
Mrs angry bird, you look like one of the grumpy old granny in the nursing home i usually go to and am sure with this your face and mood you sure grow old quickly Valentina said with a straight face.
Fuck you, Emily cursed under her breath, am not going to spare you, you fool, not wanting to create any drama she was trying her possible best not to pounce on her friend as it seems she won't stop getting on her nerve giving they were in a new environment, she wouldn't want them to be black listed without not entering into the university yet.
Well let's go, as they walk through the school buildings going towards their car Emily couldn't help the thought of exchanging Valentina with a car as it will be more useful than her.
well, well, well am used to that thought of yours since we are little, Valentina voice brought her back to the present, Emily could only hiss and grumble leaving the annoying fly behind
She taught Valentina have change, composed, calm well behave and matured, who is she kidding everything has followed the exam paper hmm a snake will always be a snake no matter how many times it shed its skin
On getting to the car Valentina sat behind the wheel as she promise to drive in the morning
The blue Ferrari car screech to a halt in front of a fancy restaurant with the word favorite spot boldly written on it, after entering into the restaurant, two settled down and ordered for what they want, 2 minutes later their food was served, any other thing miss, the waitress in a white shirt and black short skirt asked with a smile plastered on her face, it's alright Emily replied with a smile back.
The two parted their ways after they left the restaurant, Valentina then hailed a taxi, gave him the location and then the car zoom off, 15 minutes later the taxi stopped in front of an old building , a rusty signboard at the gate with the word hope orphanage home written on it Valentina payed and came down from the taxi, and entered into the building, on getting inside Valentina felt like she was in another world,anytime she comes, it felt as if someone or something is calling for her, like a part of her is here, she couldn't get that feeling when she's around, but she will just brush it off, telling herself that because she loves playing with the children and she might have form a bound with them
Sister val is here a little girl shouted in the sitting room on siting Valentina welcoming her with a hug, i missed you i thought you wouldn't come again she pouted
Awwn i missed my babies so much, your sister had to prepare for her exam that's why she couldn't come now she's done and she's here for everyone Valentina replied like a small girl confessing her crimes to her parents
Okay but you have to make it up to me, pinky promise Elena said tucking her smallest finger out okay Valentina replied after sealing their promise as the two girls are still in their own world the voice of other children and one elderly woman brought them back
Biggest sis we miss you the five children went and hug her, how are my babies doing, and i hope you didn't stress your aunt much no we didn't they replied, okay good Valentina was just smiling when talking to them see here are some chocolates and biscuits for you, bringing out a big nylon bag containing some snacks for them
