My Very Best Mistake

Chapter 16

Eric Parker : 

"Alright! You guys should go to bed now." I told everyone.

"It's just 3 am." said Miles.

"It's already 3 am?" Chris surprised. Miles showed his phone screen so Chris can see the time.

 "Oh no! My time is wasted because of you guys." Chris whined.

"Chris, tomorrow is Saturday." Kevin reminded Chris.

"Can't believe that I spend my night with you guys instead of sleeping." said Chris.

"We're not worth your night?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Who do you think you are to me?" Chris smirked.

"Are you guys going to sleep?" Kevin asked.

"I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed now. I have works to do. I won't let that liquid distract me from my project." Miles said which freaked everyone once again.

"Miles, you change." I commented.

"I'll take that as a compliment." Miles stood up.

"Where are you going?" Kevin asked.

"Sleep. Should I say good night or good morning?" Miles looked at us one by one.

"Just go!" I shouted. Then, he left to my bedroom.

It was just the three of us remaining. I slowly finished my wine and the other two just stayed silent.

"This Miles has changed." Chris said.

"Eric, I think you should help him with his project." Kevin looked at me. "I mean help him SERIOUSLY." He added. 

"Don't worry about that. I'll handle it." I said proudly.

"Make sure that you get that project for him. I've never seen him this serious." Chris said.

"Let's go to bed." Kevin said. He stood up and left us.

"It's time for you to go too." I looked at Chris and waved him to go.

"Ok. I'm going. So tired." He bent his body and follow the direction where Kevin and Miles went to.

I walked to my bedroom. Once I got into the room, I saw my three friends slept there hugging each other in my big bed. Miles hugged Chris and Kevin hugged Miles.

'These people!' I shook my head and found a place to sleep. I decided to sleep on floor because I didn't want these people to hug me. I got a blanket and placed it on the floor and slept on it.

Ammaline Pearson :

It was 7:30 in the morning. I was having breakfast at home and about to leave for work. My phone suddenly rang.

'Ring Ring'

"Who would call me this early?" I frowned and asked Olivia who sat opposite to me and was also having breakfast too.

"Just go pick it up now!" Olivia demanded.

I looked at my phone and it was an unknown message. I answered and said "Hello? Who's this?"

"Hello, Ammaline!" The person on the other side said. "This is auntie, don't you remember me?" she added.

"Uh Auntie!" I exclaimed when I figured out who she was.

"Why are you calling me so early? Is there any problems?" I couldn't hide my curiosity so I asked her.

"It's nothing. Sorry for worrying you. I'm here to invite you to our house for lunch." Mrs. Parker said.

I was shocked hearing this. I didn't know which excuse I should give her so .....

"Hmmmmm" 

"Ammaline, you can't reject me this time. You've been helping me and now I feel so guilty. Please come and have lunch with us so I can feel better." Mrs. Parker said something which made it's hard to reject.

"Auntie, I didn't help you that much and it's my job as a nurse to help you out." I said politely.

"Ok! But you must come and have lunch here. If you don't show up, I'll get mad at you." she ordered.

"Ok, auntie. Do you want me to go today or when?" I asked.

"Come today." she said.

"Then, I'll see you soon, auntie." I ended the call after finished talking.

"Wuhhhh what's happening?" Olivia asked me immediately when she saw that I ended the phone call.

"It's Mrs. Parker. She invites me to go and have lunch at her house." 

"Ahh Going to meet your future mother-in-law. I get it." Olivia teased me, but I ignored her and finished my breakfast.

I spent my whole morning working like usual, but at that time, it seemed like time flew so fast. I didn't notice that already it's 11 am. I stopped working and got ready to go to the Parker's mansion. Before I got to their house, I made a quick stop at the supermarket to buy some fruits for Mr. and Mrs. Parker. Then, I arrived at the Parker's mansion at 12:15. I parked the car where it should be parked and walked into the house.

"Miss Pearson, you're here." the maid that I saw the like time I was here greeted me.

"I'm here to meet Mr. and Mrs. Parker." I said politely.

"Mrs. Parker is in the kitchen checking food for lunch." the maid informed me.

I nodded and said "I can wait for her here then." I pointed to the sofa in the living room.

"Miss Pearson, you can just go in to the kitchen and meet Mrs. Parker there if you don't mind. I can accompany you there." the maid suggested.

"It's okay. I don't think auntie wants me to be in her kitchen." I politely rejected the maid.

"No no she would be so happy if you go there." said the maid.

"Then, can you show me the way to the kitchen please?" 

"Just follow me miss." 

I followed the maid and she led me to the kitchen. When we arrived at the kitchen, the maid informed Mrs. Parker that I'm here.

"Ammaline, you're here?" she said happily.

"Yes, I'm here auntie." I smiled.

"I thought you wouldn't come." she said.

"Auntie, I brought you some fruits." I handed the fruits in my hand to her.

"Thank you so much, but next time you shouldn't bring anything here." 

"Auntie, do you need any help? I can give you a hand." I wanted to help her.

"No no.... It's not appropriate for a guest to help us here and the food is almost ready." Mrs. Parker signaled the maid in the kitchen with her to continue what she was doing. 

"Let's go and wait in the dining room." Mrs. Parker walked me to the dining room with the maid that brought me to the kitchen.

When we reached the dining room, Mrs. Parker turned to the maid and said "Go tell Brian that Ammaline is here." The maid nodded and walked away.

Mrs. Parker gestured me to sit at the dining table. I sat down and was amazed by the designed of this dining room which doesn't really look like a dinning room at first.
