Ammaline Pearson:
"You must be Ammaline. I'm Helen, Ammaline. I used to see you when you were little." a beautiful middle-aged woman walked into the living room and sat on a sofa next to me.
"Good morning, Mrs. Parker!" I greeted her.
"Sorry for letting you wait."
"It's okay. It's not that long." I said.
She smiled warmly at me. "Brian is showering. He's coming down soon." she said.
"I can wait. Mrs. Parker, have you had breakfast? I need to draw your blood so if you already had breakfast, it won't be very effective."
"Don't worry! Both of us haven't had breakfast yet."
I nodded and smiled. We both talked for a while until Mr. Parker came down.
"Brian is here." Mrs. Parker pointed to the direction where Mr. Parker was walking toward us.
"Hello, Ammaline! Long time no see." Mr. Parker greeted me.
"Good morning, Mr. Parker! It's nice to see you." I smiled.
Mr. Parker sat down next to Mrs. Parker.
"Mr. and Mrs. Parker, please allow me to draw your blood to examine." I asked.
"Ok, let's do it." Mr. Parker said.
Without waiting any longer I pulled my equipment out and started to draw their blood one by one.
"Everything is all done!" I said. "The test result will be out this afternoon or tomorrow. Do you want me to send the result to you through email or bring it here?"
"Just send me an email." Mr. Parker replied.
"OK, Mr.Parker. You're get the results faster through email." I smiled.
"Ehhh! We don't need it that urgent. Can you bring it to us tomorrow?" Mrs. Parker asked.
"Sure. I can deliver it here." I said. "Mr. and Mrs. Parker, do you have any further questions? Or is there anything else I can help you?" I asked politely.
"No no" Mr. Parker shook his head.
"If you don't need anything else, then I'm going to leave now."
Mr. Parker nodded.
"Ammaline, come and have breakfast with us." Mrs. Parker said before I'm about to leave.
'Ohh noooo! What should I do?' I think to myself.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Parker, but I already had breakfast." I rejected.
"Then, come and have some coffee." she said.
"Hmmm Mrs. Parker, I don't drink coffee." I said.
"We also have orange juice." Mr. Parker said.
'What is wrong with this couple??????' I said in my mind so that the Parkers don't here it.
"It's okay, Mr. Parker. I don't want to bother you. Please enjoy your breakfast." I politely rejected.
"Don't think that you bother us. We're like family." Mrs. Parker said.
"Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, but I'm quite busy and I have to go now." again I politely rejected them.
"If you're in a hurry then I'll let the maid pack it in bottle for you. Please wait here for a minute." Mrs. Parker turned around to the mid and ordered her to pack me the orange juice and then she turned back to face me again.
"Mrs. Parker, you don't have to do this." I said with my guilty face.
"Having fresh orange juice in the morning gives you a lot of benefits so just take it when I offer you. I will feel bad if you don't accept this." Mrs. Parker said.
"Mrs. Parker, you don't have to feel bad or anything." I comforted her.
"Ammaline, stop calling me Mrs. Parker. Just call me Helen." Mrs. Parker commented.
"Mrs. Parker, you should know that it's not polite for younger people to call elders by their name." I said.
"But I don't want you to call me Mrs." she protested.
The maid walked to Mrs. Parker and handed her a bottle of orange juice.
"Here's your orange juice, Ammaline." she gave me the orange juice.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Parker."
"Stop calling me Mrs." Mrs. Parker said.
I didn't know what to do so I smiled and nodded.
"I'm going to leave no Mr. and Mrs. Parker." I told them.
"Once again, please stop calling me Mrs." Mrs. Parker demanded.
"Okay, Auntie!" I said.
"Auntie sounds better." she chuckled.
"Please enjoy your breakfast, Auntie." she smiled.
"Drive safely, Ammaline." Mr. Parker said and I nodded.
I left the Parkers mansion and went to the hospital. Once I arrived at the hospital, I sent the blood to the hospital's laboratory. I continued my day working like my usual days.
Eric Parker:
I checked my phone after leaving the meeting room just to see 3 missed calls from my mom. I walked to my office and called her once I'm in my office.
"Hello, mom!" I sat on my chair.
"Eric, where have you been? I've been calling you for so many times." she said.
"You called me just 3 times. 3 times only, mother and I was in a meeting. Is there anything I can help you? Or you called me just to ask me to go out with some random girls?" I asked.
"No! This is time is something different." she said.
"What is it then?"
"This time I'm not going to ask you to go on a date with any woman."
"Ohh really!? So what are you planning again?" I asked.
"For this time, I'm going to directly marry you without your permission." she said in her demanding voice.
"Mother, are you serious?"
"Yes, but but ....."
"But what?" I asked her immediatlely.
"But only if my plan works out."
"What is it that you're planning again?"
"It's nothing. You don't have to worry."
"Whether I have to worry or not, I don't care about it. All I care about is YOU WANT TO FORCE ME TO MARRY SOMEONE THAT I DON'T KNOW." I said in one breath.
"Eric, you're 30 now." mom said.
"Yes, I'm 30 so what?"
"You're 30 that means you're old. It's time for you to create you own family."
"Mom, you should know that I don't have any feeling for woman." I felt sad remember what happened to me.
"Eric, you should open your heart once again. There are lots of good things in this world. Please, I want the positive Eric to come back." I sensed that my mom felt down.
"Mom ...."
"Tomorrow, come and have lunch with me." she demanded.
"Okay! Is that all you want to talk?"
"Yes!"
"So, I'm going to end this call here. Goodbye, mom!" I ended the call.
