Chapter 13 Weird miss
Annie hit herself continuously on her head immediately he left.
God!. God! God!.
You’re too gullible, Annie!.
Too gullible!.*She yelled in her head.
Ugh!.
She can’t believe she almost let him have his way.
Even if… even if he was gonna kiss her .. is that how she will just…
Geez!. You’re too weak Annie. Too weak!.
She paused for a second and frowned.
Why the hell is she even getting her nerves with a kiss?.
She’s his maid!.
She has to bear that in her mind.
His maid and nothing else!.
She sneaked to the door and opened it slightly to see if he is still around.
She breathed out a relief sigh when she saw no sign of him.
She opened the door and stepped out then closed the door behind her gently.
He has probably gone to his room.
She stared at the staircase for some minutes and as she turned away, she found him standing before her and her heart jumped inside her mouth.
“Jesus!!!.”she shouted.
“Jesus?.”Larry asked with a scoff.
“Jesus what?.”he asked.
Annie’s eyes bulged out of its socket.
“I thought you’ve gone to your room already so how come you’re here.”she asked.
“Is that the reason why you called Jesus?, does my presence shock you that much?. Larry said.
“What?, no, no. That’s a new song by Esther. Her recently song. Jesus!, yay!, Jesus, yay!, I worship you, I love you…”Annie sang quickly.
Larry cast her a confused look.
“Weird miss.”he muttered before walking past her to the kitchen.
Annie stared at him as he walked and seeing him step inside the kitchen, she ran away in other to avoid another heart attack.
Next day.
Annie went to visit her mom in her ward when they got the hospital.
Rosetta was sitting quietly on the bed, lost in thoughts.
“Hi Mom.”
Annie’s voice broke Rosetta’s thoughts.
She looked up at her and her face brightened.
“Annie!.”she called happily.
Annie smiled and went to hug her.
“I’m sorry, mom. I didn’t check up on yesterday. Work.”she said.
Rosetta sighed and disengaged from the hug.
“Yeah, right?. I’m so useless, aren’t I?. It’s.. it’s all because of me. I should have just.. just die.”
“What?, mom!.”Annie scolded.
“C’mon, please. I hate it when you say those words, so much!.”she added almost at the verge of breaking into tears.
“It’s… it’s just the fact, Annie.”Rosetta said and sniffed.
Tears streamed down Annie’s face.
“Did you hear from your dad?.”Rosetta suddenly asked and Annie shook her head.
“When did you go home last?.”
“Since the day you were admitted.”Annie replied.
“I pray he haven’t gambled with yet another valuable thing in the house again. My life is just messed up, it’s really of a mess!.”Rosetta cried.
Annie engulfed her in her arms again and they both cried in each other’s arms.

“This looks good than a place meant for experiment.”Skyler complimented.
Larry rolled his eyes.
“Yeah, right?.”he scoffed.
Skyler turned to him.
“That was just a beautiful comment, you don’t have to be grumpy about it.”he said.
“Let’s get to work. That’s the first thing I did. I mixed it up with some…”Larry was still talking when Skyler went to what he pointed at and grabbed the plastic.
He opened it and sniffed it in.
“You are not gonna drink that, are you?.”Larry asked with a sigh and folded his arms.
“What?.”Skyler turned to give him a glare.
“You’re one bitter man.”he added with a loud scoff.
A knock sounded on the door back outside but they didn’t hear it.
“Hello”someones voice sounded and Larry excused himself and went out ready to lash out at whoever it was.
His nerves calmed down a bit when he saw it was Annie.
He had asked her to grab some coffee for him earlier.
He watched her moving around in the room. Her back was turned to him.
“Hey.”he said.
Her head snapped back and she shuddered.
“What?, how come… you’re behind me, how?!.”she asked.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Larry rolled his eyes and pointed to the door he just walked out from.
“Woah. So you have another room here. This is really good.”she giggled.
“You can drop it on the table.”he said.
She nodded and dropped the box of coffee on the table and glanced at the door and at Larry and as their eyes met, she bowed and moved out of the room.
Larry smiled.
He walked back to the other room and met Skyler browsing through the other contents.
“Get here and let’s get started.”Larry said.
Skyler moved to him and they started mixing some chemicals.
Larry’s mind drifted to what happened earlier and a smile found it way to his lips.
Why did she bowed to him?.
“Weird miss!”he laughed out suddenly.
“What?.”Skyler asked, confused.
Larry quickly adjusted himself and replaced the smile on his face with a frown.
“Nothing”…
