"Oops... I'm sorry Mom, Emma, I hope that you ain't angry with me?" Grace asked and Emma replied, "No, you can have it."
"Thanks sis" Grace replied and Emma's eyes widened in surprised to heard Grace actually called her sister.
"Don't mind that silly brat.. She doesn't know how to cook too and only to eat" Aunt Mila chapped.
"I heard that mom!!" Grace yelled from outside the kitchen door and in the dinning room.
Aunt Mila sighed and she shook her head as she prepared another noodles with vegetables and eggs for Emma
"Are you sure that you really want to accompany Grace out there? I don't want her to sell you off to a mafia... You know, even though I turn a blind eye at times to Grace unruly behavior, I just cannot help but be mindful of her.."
"Hmm, I'm fine Aunt. Why will she sell me off to a mafia?" Emma curiously asked in a hushed tone as she saw Aunt Mila lowered her tone too.
"That's because her boyfriend is a Mafia, and Grace has refused to bring him home to marry her, even as the young man really loves her. She's not proud of him, because I told her that I mostly usually used to slept with Mafias too in the past. They know how to waste their moneys and spent it heavily on pretty ass like us. And with you been pretty, I'm scared you know, as I wont be able to face your mom."
"Mom... What are you both gossiping about, I hope is not me?" Grace asked with a narrowed eyes as she walked into the kitchen and saw her mother's whispering to Emma who was listening attentively.
"Why're you thinking is about you ? Did you did anything wrong?" Aunt Mila asked out with a smile and Grace narrowed her eyes at her mom and replied "No mom.. But I know that talks in hushed tones are gossips, so it's about me. Or Emma, Am I lying?."
Grace watched Emma's face with a lot of seriousness, and she didn't truly liked how Emma has a pretty doll face. As Emma was all round cuter than her and Emma replied "Yes.."
"I knew it, and Mom was still telling a lie" Grace raised her voice and Aunt Mila frowned.
"Aunt Mila is only asking me where you want to take me too?" Emma completed her statement and Grace calmed as her cheeks flame red, and she replied "Somewhere special. Come we have to go now."
"No Grace, she has to eat her breakfast first, and you tell me where you're taking my adorable tomato too first!" Aunt Mila looked serious and Grace frowned "Mom.. Is girls stuff."
Aunt Mila ignored Grace and she rather fried out the eggs first and placed it carefully on Emma's plate, and she said "Allow Emma to eat her breakfast first, and if you're in a hurry. You can as well go alone, as Emma need sometime to think about her future husband."
Grace saw that her mother was practically sending her away and she said "I will wait mom, as I'm not in a hurry."
Emma silently carried out her breakfast and she said to Aunt Mila, "Thank you Aunt."
"You're welcome dear. " Aunt Milla sighed and she prepared her own noodles as she usually added more vegetables and carrots to her noodles and she continued to wonder how she failed in raising Grace up.
Joy was indeed her peace of mind, But Grace was the reverse..
Aunt Mila shook her head as she prepared her meal and a herbal tea to sooth her mood.
Emma was through with her breakfast, and she stepped out from the house and saw Grace standing out and beside her car.
"We have to go now. Actually I have an appointment with some of my client to meet with at a luxurious hotel and I want you to accompany me as I don't want to go alone there" Grace spoked as she watched Emma alighted the frontage stairs.
"Okay." Emma looked away from Grace as she stared around the beautiful surrounding and the hot wind blew her skin and made her to felt relaxed. She sat in the front seat of Grace car and Grace drove out from the compound and head to the hospital first.
"But first I want to go and see my boyfriend in the hospital. Yesterday he got into a fight because of me and I feel really bad about it."
Emma was silent as she tried not to worry about what Aunt Mila told her.
"I hope he's not seriously injured?" Emma only asked.
"No, he's not" replied Grace, as she kept her focused on the road.
"There's this handsome man that I meet at the hotel club yesterday and I felt a strong pull of attraction to kiss him and he just pushed me away. He's so strong and he singlehandedly beat Pascal and all his men. I cannot believe he's so strong like that and yet he looked so calm."
Emma was silent as she didn't liked discussing about men.
Grace stared to Emma in a quickly glance and she kept her gaze and focused on the road and she took another turn.
"Haven't you ever admired a man before Emma, like feel wet in your pant?" Grace chapped with a smirked and Emma replied "No.. Not really.. Well, except for one man, and I don't think I will ever see him again."
Grace rolled her eyes in curiousness as she only decided to teased Emma and to found out how her pretty cousin hasn't had a crush on any handsome dude.
"Tell me, what does he look like, Is he a black man or a yellow man like us?."
"He's yellow, he's tall, well we meet on my flight journey here and he sat right next to me.. But I don't think it's a crush. I only admire him and that's all."
"Did you try to communicate with him?" Grace drove into the hospital gates.
"No.. We only argue as he accused me wrongly.. Or maybe not, I don't know as I cannot remember offending him. I was angry and leaving home was all that mattered," Emma stared away and Grace replied "It's alright. We're finally here, come follow me, let's go see Pascal."
Emma didn't protest or got scared, and so she stepped down from the car and walked into the hospital with Grace.
Grace check in with the nurses on duty and soon, she made her way up to the floor where Pascal private ward was.
Emma stood silently beside Grace in the elevator and soon the elevator stopped and the door opened while they stepped out.
Emma walk silently behind Grace and she admire how Grace catwalk as Grace was indeed a hot model.
They arrived the private ward, and Emma could see some tough looking men around and in the front door waiting.
The tough men didn't stopped Grace, but as Emma want to stepped in, they wedge their hands to the front to stop her.
"It's okay, she's harmless Lucian" Grace spoked to one of the men, and they finally allowed Emma into the private ward with Grace.
Grace and Emma walk up to Pascal's bed and Pascal was already awake and he stared to Grace intently.
Grace knew Pascal would want her to stay with him on pretense that he was sick and injured so she purposely brought Emma to look after him.
"Babe" Pascal opened his arms for a hugged and Grace hugged him first. And he watched Emma and saw that she was indeed pretty like a doll, but his interest was only Grace as it wasn't his first time seeing more extremely pretty ladies like Emma.
"What did you bring for me?" He asked Grace, after she pulled away from the hugged.
"My sister" Grace replied with a smirked and just then, Emma's eyes meet with the masculine man eyes on the bed.
