Ella and her friends were sneaking out Cebu very early in the morning.

They met Alfred at the park selling flowers to the travelers. "Let us snub him, just pretend as if you don't see him," Mary said to Ella and Samantha whispering.

The three of them go straight to where bus ticket is been sold to purchase it, Alfred sights them from where he was standing "Ella! Mary! Samantha! please wait for me" He said while running towards them.

"Please sir we want to buy tickets of the t to Manila, hurry up please," Samantha told the Park secretary while trembling.

The three of them rushed inside the bus and they're the last passenger, Alfred ran so fast just to catch up with them but before he could get to them, their bus has already taken off.

"Ella, Mary, Samantha, where re you going? talk to me please" Alfred saying this while running after their bus and slamming it with his hand.

"I don't know what he wants, he just spoils my mood Ummm," Samantha said looking so pissed.

"Please ma'am can you borrow me your cell phone? our dear Ella needs to call her father" Mary told the lady sitting in front of them. She turned back and look at them with a disgusting face, then continue pressing her face.

"She is not even pretty, I pity her. She doesn't know that you're the governor daughter in law to be, don't worry when we get to Manila, we will look for where you can make a call".

*Cebu*

Alfred, face look so dull while he was going home from the park. Mrs. Toms was coming from the market holding basket full of different fruits and she met Alfred on her way home "Hello Alfred, why did you look so dull, what happened to you?"

"My Ella has gone to Manila with her friends" water was falling on Alfred's cheek while saying this to Mrs. Toms.

"Haaaaaaaa those three demons have duped me and run away" Mrs. Toms screamed and dropped the basket on the floor then sat down screaming and crying. Then Alfred started consoling her.

*Manila*

"Ella, Samantha, wake up, wake up, we're in Manila now, look, everywhere is beautiful not like Cebu," Mary said while she woke her friends up.

"Hello, Mani, la," Mary said while stepping out from the bus holding her waist and raised her left hand up, looking excited.

"So where should we go from here?" Ella asked Mary and Samantha while facing them Samantha brings out the flyer that was distributed to them back then in Cebu, she gave it to Ella "Read out the address on it, that is where we are going"

"Are you two crazy? don't tell me you don't have where we can stay before bringing me here! there is no address here" Ella said with her eyes filled with anger.

"Sorry Ella, let ask around am sure people we know where the company is" Mary replied.

Samantha stopped a taxi "Hey what are you doing?" Ella asked Samantha

"We're going to that company remember, let just pray this cabman knows the place"

The three of them get inside the cab, "Where are you going?" The cabman asked staring at the front mirror looking at them.

"Please take us to LAVIDA-S COMPANY" Mary

replied the cabman

"Okay ma'am"

Then the cabman drives them to LAVIDA-S COMPANY.

The three of them step out from the cab felt so amazed seeing how big the company was. When they arrive there "Ella, you're so lucky, look at your mother in law company so big and huge," Mary said this with excitement.

They all walked closer to the company Mrs. Davis was about leaving the company she is already in her car when Samantha rushed to her "Hey ma'am please wait" she said, breathing heavily

"Stop the car," Mrs. Davis told her driver. Then she winds down

"Who are you?"

"Am Samantha Suarez ma'am"

"Why did you stopped me?" Mrs. Davis asked while staring at Samantha.

"I and my two friends came here to look for a job in your company ma'am" Samantha replied Mrs. Davis and she was trembling, while Ella and Mary were standing 3yards to them.

"Ooh OK, but no vacancy for massagers for now. Please start the car and let go" Mrs. Davis said and she winds up the glass.

"Ooh, ma'am wait" Samantha was running after Mrs.Davis's car while Mary and Ella looked at her from where they're standing.

"Mary, Ella, both of you let followed her" Samantha stop the cab Mary and Ella walked up to her and enter the cab. Samantha told the cabman to follow Mrs. Davis's car.

When Mrs. Davis got home her guard closed the gate after she drives in, Ella and her friends arrived with cab.

They were amazed by the look of that house because it looks so big and beautiful. "Ella you're lucky took at the house you will be living in now so beautiful and big, am so jealous of you right now," Mary said this with happy expression written all over her face, while Ella was smiling.

The cloud change and Thunder began to tremble then rain started falling, the three of them don't have anywhere to hide and Samantha suggested that they should stay under the rain since they don't know when next they're going to bath.

Mrs.. Davis was inside her room upstairs looking at them through the window.

The next morning Mrs. Davis has prepared for work and she was about to drive out, then she saw three young ladies laying down in front of her gate when the guard opens the gate for her, she almost hit them, then she screamed "Oh my!" She was shocked.

"Who are refugees. Davis asked while step out of her car angrily "Guards!"

Ella and her friends got up quickly and said "We're sorry ma'am" Trembling.

Mrs. Davis cites Samantha "Are you not the lady that stopped me yesterday before I left my company?"

"Yes ma'am, we're sorry, it just that one of us. Her father was sick and she needs money to treat him, so that is why we came here maybe you can help us with any job even if it's cleaning your office always" Samantha replied having a pitiful expression on her face.

"And which one among you is that?" Mrs

Davis asked calmly

The three of them look at each other then Mary and Samantha pointed at Ella "No" Ella replied looking confused.

"Ella admit it, you don't have to hide am sure ma'am has a good heart she will give us a job," Samantha said, walking towards Ella and sounding pitiful.

"Okay, Okay. Nanny, Nanny" Mrs. Davis called the head of the maid in her house.
