"Why did he said we dressed with rags?" Mary asked her friends

"You know his an old man, so he won't know what is trending" Samantha replies.

"I think I have an idea," Mary said with a happy expression on the face

"What is your idea this time? you better make sure it something meaningful" Ella replied with a serious expression on her face

"Let travel to Manila, and apply in LAVIDA-S COMPANY as a cleaner, I heard that their salary is very high"

"Are you crazy? we don't even know anybody in Manila and we don't have money" Ella replied with a serious expression.

"Let go and borrow money from Mrs. Toms, and I heard that those in Manila are good people they will accommodate us especially if we tell them that you are the future wife to Governor's son," Mary said.

"Ooh Ella, Mary has a point but we must not tell Mrs. Toms that we're traveling besides your father is not coming back anytime soon, do it for your prince charming, please let go please"

"Okay, but it will be after our exam, we're in a final year already".

Mary and Samantha couldn't read what was written on it both of them started reading nonsense

"Ooh this is your mother-in-law company I think they want to repaint the building," Mary said while staring at the flyer.

"You don't know nothing, you're just dumb a*s, don't you see that flowers were used to decorate the building it means; they just bought new flowers to decorate the building" Samantha replied, looking really serious.

"Both of you should stop! the flyer read LAVIDA-S GROUP OF COMPANY, will be launching another new set of wears next month that is July 3rd" Ella said while reading the flyer to them.

"Oh my god, oh my god, could it be your prince charming will be coming back that day? since he's the face of LAVIDA-S?" Marry asked looks surprised.

Mrs. Davis was having angry expression all over her face, her workers were greeting her but she did not answer any of them.

When she got inside her office angrily, she throws away all the files on her desk, her PA knock, and enters her office trembling.

"What the hell did you want? I don't want to see your face, get out"

"Am sorry ma'am but the journalist are here we couldn't stop them because they insist on talking to you" Binto said while trembling.

"Oh, I can't believe this nonsense, fine! I will

"Outside the building ma'am, but you looked stressed ma'am please try to breathe in and out before going to see them" Binto replied Mrs. Davis.

"Let go !"

Both of them went outside the building.

*********************

"Ma, can you explain how you felt about your daughter being arrested for gambling?" One of the journalists asked.

"Ummah, firstly I sincerely apologize for what my daughter did. I and my husband have decided that she will face whatever punishment the law grants her because she can't pardon all in the name of governor's daughter" Mrs. Davis said this with an unreal smile expression on her face.

"So she will be jailed?"

"If that is what the law wants then so be it. Please excuse me" Mrs. Davis replied to the journalist and leave to her office. The staff was gossiping saying "So the governor's daughter is going to be jailed? she deserves it because she always causes trouble, Sir Daniel is the best"

*Governor Office*

Governor PA walks in and tells the governor to check out what is trending on the news, while he picked up the remote and on the TV. The news was casting about what the governor's wife said concerning they're daughter. Governor got so pissed and smashed his desk with his hands.

"Make sure you get Lia out of that mess without any trace," Governor said to his PA having an angry expression on his face.

"Okay sir, but people will be waiting for your own opinion on this matter" The PA replied while staring at the governor.

"So what do you think I should do? " Governor asked looking serious.

"Let call for the press and you will talk to them and apologize on your daughter behalf sir"

"Okay, call them" Governor replied looking calm.

When Governor got home later in the day, he was having an unhappy expression on his face. "Where is my wife?" He asked their Nanny

"She is in her room sir" Nanny replied calmed

Governor walked straight to the bedroom, he's wife was sitting in front of the dressing mirror putting on nightwear and cleaning her face with wipers.

"What is the meaning of the speech you gave the press concerning our daughter?" Governor asked having an angry expression on his face. "Your daughter, not mine!" Mrs. Davis replied angrily while facing her husband but still sitting on the stand in front of the dressing mirror.

"What is your problem! when will you learn how to love Lia, what if she is your daughter?" Governor asked while still angry at his wife

"When you're ready to explain why you brought your mistress daughter home and asked me to pretend has her mother!" Mrs. Davis replied angrily.

"Okay! but try and love her, have apologized so many times, that it was a mistake and ever since then I never cheated on you again. Besides her mother is dead" Governor replied with a confused expression all written over his face.

And he left the bedroom to locked himself inside the visitor's room. Mrs. Davis smashed the dressing mirror with the comb in front of her and said "After 15years, you're still keeping secret from me"

"Yes Ella you don't have to bath besides no one will know," Mary says.

"You mean I should don't bath? but I will stink" Ella replied

"At times I don't bath and nobody ever complained that I stink, just that I don't move too close to people or talk freely. Just put on your uniform and let us go please we're late" Mary said jokingly

"No wonder you always stinks" Samantha replied Mary

"Hey! you two stop. Fine I won't bath but if anybody complains that I stink I will kill both of you" Ella said with the serious expression written all over her face.

Ella was so happy but couldn't express her happiness because she felt her body might be stinking. After the graduating award, she was still sitting in the hall while her friends were outside congratulating other students.

"Where is Ella?" Mary asked Samantha

"I don't know"

Both of them started looking for her shouting her name "Ella, Ella, Ella". A lady stopped them and said "She is inside the hall"

"Thank you" Samantha replied to her.

Both of them go straight to the hall, Ella was sitting moody inside the hall, her eyes were so weak for tears and her cheeks was so red. "Ella, what happened? you should be happy" Samantha said looked bothered.

"I wish my mother was still alive, and my father he's not even around am the only one that witnesses my success," Ella said this while her eyeballs were heavy for water.

"Ella, you don't have to be sad remember we're here for you and am sure Sir Leo will call before today run's out to congratulate you, we all know your father loves you so much, don't make me cry Ella," Mary said while trying to cry.

"You know what let go and celebrate it," Samantha said with a happy expression

"What are the three demons doing here? " Mrs. Toms replied Rolling her eyeballs.

Mary rushed and hold Mrs. Toms feet crying and saying "Please ma'am help us we need money to take our dear Ella out, she has the best grades passing out today"

"I thought three of you were supposed to pass out from college together, why is it only Ella that graduate today," Mrs. Toms asked looks confused.

"Yes we all pass out today just that Ella got the best grades but that is not the issue, ma'am please borrow our money we want to make our dear Ella special by taking her out today" Mary replied acting pitiful

"Okay, how much did you want to borrow?"

Mary "500pesu"
