Chapter 37

Quit if it's getting too hard.

5 PM

Mona was surprised to meet Brandley at home, what is he doing at home, she muses. He was in the bar section, his eyes rolling around on his laptop. Mona tried to tiptoed silently to escape his presence but was caught in the act.

"Hey, would you change into something more comfortable?" Mona said walking away.

Brandley's eyes caught the redness on her ankle, as she was running around in that hill. She's supposed to wear a flat shoe because her job would be too demanding.

He left where he was sitting and went towards the TV drawer to take the balm he kept there.

Mona heaved a sigh of relief, "that was very awkward" she said taking off her clothes.

She took off her shoes and noticed the bruise on her angle, she was surprised because she didn't feel it.

I clearly told her to do it before stepping out." Via answered, hitting the bed in anger.Alex breathes in and out, it's obvious that the both of them can't be angry at once."It's just laundry, that's the least you can do for this household you know. You never learn, do you" Alex said in a mocking voice."What do you think, you didn't marry me to do your dirty chores for you. And just because you've started working at the office didn't make you any more important" Via said, cocking her head to the side."Oh really, tell me about Mrs Via Morgan.
