"Hi, girl." Juliet smiled, her hand on her smooth cheek. Her smile was awkward, one which showed she was trying to hide something."Good afternoon, sis. I'm waiting for you here. Since you didn't want me to bring a car along." She sighed calmly, rolling her eyes in an unimpressed manner."Okay. Where exactly are you? " She looked up at Robert. He smiled weirdly, waiting patiently for the call to end. She smiled back at him, super grateful of how much of a gentleman he actually was."At some park. I don't know." She sighed, quickly scanning the place. She walked towards a sign and squinted as she read the words. "Oh wait, I think I'm at something Peace Park. I don't really understand what's on this board.""Okay dear. I'm really busy now, but I'll have somebody come over, alright?""You'll have someone come pick me? Are you sure you're happy with me coming?""Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I be? Trust me, I'm thrilled that you'll be with me for some time. We have a lot to catch up on."
Robert drove back to the hospital, with a wondering heart. What had happened between Juliet's sister and him was almost unbelievable, yet amusing at the same time. He shook his head calmly and sighed.Meanwhile, Mary was already in her sister's house. Her eyes moved from one corner to the other as she looked around in irritation."What kind of hole does Juliet live in? I mean look at this place." She hissed loudly, and tossed her bag at a corner. She sank in to the couch and pulled out her phone to make a call. "Hey, mom." She said immediately her mother picked up. "I just arrived at Juliet's and I am not impressed.""What is it, Mary? Is there something wrong there?""Of course, there is, mom. Did you really check this place out when Juliet relocated?""What is happening, Mary? Why all these questions?" She sighed in a tired tone."This place is a dump. It's not big enough. How does she even manage here?""Your sister didn't want to stay at some massive place, so I let her choose wha
"Oh, you're back." Juliet said calmly as soon as Robert walked through the doors. He had a frown on his face, which was very noticeable even with the smiles he tried to force. "Is everything okay?" She asked before she could hold back."Yes. Everything is fine." He forced another smile and moved closer to the bed. "I'm sorry I was out for a long time. You must be hungry." He sat by her, and took a little plate out of of the bag in his hand. Juliet sat up, looking at him closely. He looked angry, but was still very caring."Thank you. But I won't want to eat that here. I'll eat it at home instead.""Oh, you want to leave now?" He asked immediately, getting off the bed as soon as she nodded. "Let's go, then.""But, sir..." She said gently, her eyes down. "You have already done a lot for me today. Don't worry about me. I'll get home safe.""Oh, Juliet, but it isn't a problem for me. I will take you home. I want to be sure that you are okay.""I will be okay, sir. But you really do not
It was about 8am that morning, but the house seemed quiet. Robert left his room quietly and walked to Jude's room."Grandfather?" He called softly, his head slightly through the door while the other part of his boy waited outside. Jude didn't respond, so Robert went in, walking as calmly as he could. His legs were almost not touching the floor. obert stood by the side of his grandfather's bed, watching him as he slept peacefully. He hadn't done that in a while, and now that he finally did, the feeling of relief was immeasurable. He had invited the caregivers Liam had recommended, over to the house. And while he waited for their arrivals, he decided to see how his grandfather was doing. He wasn't surprised at the rush of different emotions he felt. His happiness and anger were the most peaking emotions though. Angry he was, at the ordeal that had taken place between Mr Daniel and himself. But at the same time, he was happy seeing his grandfather breathing and alive. He had no intentio
"Thank you so much, sir." Martha smiled, her voice shaking a bit. "Thank you." Philip and Rita looked at her in an irritable manner. Philip was angry. His plan had failed woefully. He turned to leave immediately."Umm... Excuse me." Robert said softly. Philip turned and faced him once more. Robert smiled, addressing them all. "Thank you very much for coming. Please meet him and write down your account number for your compensation. Thank you, once again." He paused and turned to Robert. "Get a pen, alright?"Robert nodded and disappear ed from the room. Few minutes later, he reappeared with a little jotter and a pen."Thanks again, for coming. Ma'am Martha, please come with me. Excuse me." With that, Robert turned and headed up the stairs, with Martha scurrying behind him. Philip watched her go up the stairs, his eyes and blood boiling wit anger."Excuse me, sir." Raymond called out, trying to draw his attention to the matter at hand. But he was so engrossed in this loathing that he di
"Good morning, sis." Mary smiled widely, in front of the mirror, as her sister stirred in bed. "It's almost 11am, aren't you going to work, sleepyhead?"Juliet's eyes fluttered open. She moved her hair away from her face and inhaled. "Are you okay?" Mary asked again, when her sister didn't respond."I'm fine." Juliet finally said, her voice coarse yet soft. She sat up, gently rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm."So, what are we doing today since you aren't going to work?""Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll just have some more rest. My boss literally have me the day off just for that.""Oh! I see. That's nice, sleeping beauty." Mary hissed viciously. "What was that about?" Juliet asked calmly, still unable to understand why Mary acted the way she did towards Robert. "I know you don't relate well with strange people, but why does it seem like you hate him? He didn't even do anything to you. I mean, you just met him.""I don't hate him." Mary sighed, slightly rolling her eyes. "He'
"Hey you." Her voice was angelic. She bit her lip in a seductive manner and lent over her make up table, with the phone pressed against her ear. "I thought you'd never call.""That would have been bad of me, don't you think?""Well, yeah. But I already gave up on the whole date thing. I mean, it's almost 5pm. I thought something important came up and you had forgotten about me... I mean the date.""Oh Olivia! Something did come up but not enough to make me forget what we talked about yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't call earlier. Wait, how did you know I was the one calling?""I just knew." She giggled softly, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes glittered beautifully. "So what then now?"So...are you still up for the date? We are still going out today right?" Robert sounded almost thrilled, but trying his best to be composed."Yes, totally." She turned away from the mirror, jumping down from the swivel chair in excitement, her hand reaching to her chest, almost as if to hol
She looked in the mirror one last time, her red lips carving in to a mysterious smile. She leaned a bit forward and stared at her sparkling, silver shoes."Now, this is an ensemble for a date." She pushed her hair a backwards, but it came right back, bouncing in to position at the side of her face. She smiled once more, placing a little, fancy bag on one of her arms. In her other hand was her phone. "It's 7pm already. Arghh..." She grunted. "Where is this guy? Oh my word. I really needed his to come pick me up before it's time. Curse these drivers for rent." She dialled a number immediately and placed the phone against her ear, trying as hard as she could to be patient. But he did not answer. She grunted again, feeling very frustrated as she dialled his number again."Good eve...""Where are you, Greg? I told I needed to be out of the house by this time. Where are you?" Her voice was loud and somewhat agitated."I'm sorry, ma. I just got caught up in traffic.""Don't give me that, mis
