Her Redemption

Chapter 10

He told me that I will meet Miss George before I send it to the production team, "Alex, am I the one contacting Miss George, I thought I was just managing her design not to contact her" I asserted nervously, "Miss George wanted you to contact her as the designer who takes care of her ring, but you don't have to worry, she's not mean" I shrugged.

 I picked up my phone to call Miss George, "hello, this is Hazel Jones Assistant Chief Designer of King's Enterprise, please am I speaking with Miss George" I muttered under my breath, "sorry Miss is not available at the moment but you can leave me the details" I notified her things that made me want to meet with miss George. She invited me to her workplace.

I found out Miss George was an actress when I reached the address sent to me. I met Miss George who praised my work and introduced me to her colleagues.

I returned to the company after a while,  arriving at my table I saw everyone retiring from work, I put my things in my drawer and locked it, "see you tomorrow morning" I mumbled as I send a kiss in the air, I was happy to see that my first design would be produced and worn by a famous actress. I slam my head "damn it, today is the king's dinner and I am running late" I picked up my bag and rushed out of the company.

"What took you so long Hazel, the guest will soon arrive" Helen pulled me into her room and dolled me up, "Mom, you're really good at this"  I let out a little surprise.

  "Yes, I was the beauty of our campus you can ask Samuel" she blurted out with pride, I laughed slightly she didn't have to say it, I could feel it in her aura, she has a temperament of a noblewoman. "Well, you look beautiful my dear" I smiled shyly, thanked her, and walked over to my daughter's room, "baby, where are you?"  I shouted softly and pushed open her door. I saw her sitting on the bed with a dark face, "What's wrong?"  I carried her in my arms, "mum I wanna be a real princess tonight but these are the outfits I have" she pointed at the closet, I groaned and thought of something, I went back to my room, took out some of my work tools and made a matching crown for my baby, ''here you go princess'', I assisted with the crown and dressed her in a purple dress to match her crown.

  Coming down the stairs, there were a few guests at the table. "I guess Luther King has few relatives," I thought to myself. I sat opposite Helen with my daughter by my right. Gazing around the table I feel strange about the new faces among us. Helen introduced me to each of her family members, "welcome to the family, Hazel" a Handsome guy let out giving me a flirtatious look.

"Why is Helen's son not here yet, it's kinda weird," I thought while serving food to myself. "Helen, I wonder if your son is coming, how can you have a family dinner without your son,  are we here to meet the strange woman you have picked from the street" Samantha the mother of the guy giving me a flirtatious look asserted giving me a dirty look.

"Watch your mouth Sam" retorted Helen

"I don't see the need for this dinner, since you can't handle your son, I believe he left the mansion because of the strange woman you brought back home" she continued with her provocation, but a loud voice interrupted. "What made you think you could speak to my mother like that!" Everyone at the table turned their gaze to the direction of the voice.

"Angelo, there you are, I was only trying to reprimand your mother for allowing an unknown woman with a child to enter the house"

  "You think you have the right to reprimand my mother or tell her what to do?" he stared at the lady with dark eyes, "Reuben" he mumbled and a muscular man appeared, "escort Mrs. Samantha out of the house" he ordered, everywhere was silent I watched the whole scene with a lowered jaw. "One last thing, there are no strangers in the king's mansion and you never question my mother's thoughts, Ruben," he mumbled. The muscular man took the lady and her family away.

"Angelo you went too far, embarrassing my mother before everyone else, I will get back to you" cried the flirtatious guy as the muscular man drove them away, "mum" he greeted but Helen shifted her gaze to the other side.

"Angelo for a long time without seeing, come and sit next to me" asserted one of his cousins breaking the awkward silence that consumed the whole room. He strides with a strong aura and sat down next to Liana, "uncle why is your face gloomy, you look like one of the bad guys in my favorite cartoon" I widened my eye in shock, everyone burst out laughing, "baby don't say that, you should be polite to your elders" I mumbled lightly, we had our dinner chattering, I can't help but sit quietly listening to their story, Angelo stepped out of the dining room and moved to the living room. "I don't like his poker face, Liana is right, he will soon have wrinkles from his frown, I pity his handsome face" I muttered to myself, sticking my fork to my food.

"Uncle, why are you leaving so early, will you play my game with me? I heard from grandpa that you were good with it when you were my age" Liana sat on his thigh which stunned me, I got up from my seat and rushed over to her,  "behave yourself Liana or mum will punish you" I put out my hand to carry.

"leave her, I'll play with her" came Angelo's hoarse voice, I sighed deeply and stepped back, watching the two play, I blink twice as a thought occurs to me, "Liana actually looks like Angelo, is he the man from five years ago, but that can't be possible I heard he likes men, there is no need to overthink it," I thought biting my lip.
