He was happy to see Lillian, the miller’s senior chef, while he was still living at the Miller’s mansion. Lillian was like his mother and saviour, most nights she would sneak and bring food for him when Mrs. Maria would deprive him of a meal.Jason disentangled from her after the warm hug, it was like a mother and son discussion. Graham noticed how his boss was smiling freely at the woman which sent a signal to him that they knew each other.“How are you doing, Mrs. Lilian.” Jason vehemently asked.“I am fine and you Jason.”“I am fine, Mrs. Lilian,” Jason replied.He wasn’t surprised to see Lilian at the plantation, the plantation once belonged to the family she worked for.

Lilian had to trace her step back to the front door, When Mrs. Maria noticed the door was creaking open and she maintained her calm demeanour.Lilian greeted her and walked pass her, heading towards the kitchen to drop what she had bought before coming back to the living room to arrange it but she was shocked by what she saw on the large screen, “It's been long and we are still waiting for the rescue team, Jason Lewis has been reported to have fallen into the river with his car but only his driver has been saved while the rescue team are still looking for him.” the reporter said.The reporter continues to unleash more words with the micro
