TALK VIA STICKY NOTES

The next morning Alayah woke up, after taking breakfast, she wore a white flowery sheath dress and a grey neck scarf.

After the cooking class she went to a nursery and bought some herbs in pots, then headed towards Aaron's house, she observed that the jam jars and salt shakers were not on the countertop. She placed the herbs pot on the countertop, took a sticky note, and wrote,

"Kindly water it whenever the soil's dry, and do not put the jam in the fridge."

She cooked the food and left.

In the evening Aaron came and saw herb pots on the countertop,

"Grr, Is this my house or hers?" He questioned himself, put the pot on the Kitchen window, took a sticky note, and wrote, "I do not want anything to be placed on my kitchen countertop."

The next day Alayah came and started cooking when she was done, she looked at the time, it was 3:30 so she decided to bake some brownies and placed them on the countertop.

In the evening, Aaron arrived and saw the brownies and a sticky note placed on the slab. He ate the brownies and write a note, "Don't stick any notes, they left stains!"

The following day, Alayah arrived with a red gas balloon, began to cook, and then left. When Aaron arrived, he noticed a balloon in the air with the message "No sticky satins anymore" hanging from its thread. He smiled and started eating the food.

The next day, when Alayah entered the house, he noticed the maid was leaving the house in anger.

"Is everything okay with you?" Alayah asked her.

"Mad people, with thousands of rules, I just cannot work here anymore", By saying this the maid left. Alayah saw Mrs. George, who was sitting in the living room and was checking a file, soon she realized that Alayah was there, "Welcome Miss Alayah, do you know anyone who cleans?

"Me!" Alayah replied immediately.

"I am sorry, what?" Mrs. George asked.

"Since I am accustomed to his house regulations, I can clean the house even if I arrive an hour early and depart an hour later. It would be difficult for you to find a cleaner, and the new cleaner might not know the rule, so I'll do it.", Alayah said.

"Sounds reasonable, okay I will give you a chance". Mrs. George said.

Alayah went towards the kitchen and found a sticky note on the slab, it was from Aaron, "I will not eat at home tonight, so you can leave early."

"Seriously? Why he did not inform me of this on call?" Alayah questioned herself and left the house.

She came back home and took her shoes off.

"Hey, is everything alright, you came back so early", Elin asked worriedly.

"Well, my boss left a sticky note, that he will not eat at home today", Alayah replied.

"Ha-ha interesting boss, by the way, I mean usually the boss informs through call or mail", Elin said. "But you came on time, there is an event, many businessmen will be present, and they require waitresses. I was just about to go there, now we'll accompany me.", Elin added.

"Why?" Alayah asked.

"Because you need to buy a new phone, your mom kept on calling on mine", Elin replied.

"No, I would prefer stay at home", Alayah replied.

"Come on Alayah! It's a private event, we just need to serve the rich people and that's it, we will go and earn", Elin insisted.

"No. let's stay at home, please I will cook for you", Alayah replied.

"Please, please, come on", Elin replied.

"Okay fine", Alayah replied.

"Let's take Luna too", Elin said excitedly.

"No, let her study", Alayah requested.

"Ha-ha, she is studying how to take the perfect photo for Instagram", Elin laughed. "Let's get ready." She added.

Alayah wore a black flowery denim dress with a yellow neck scarf and high heels, on the other hand, Elin wore a dress that she herself designed, was sheath dress of cyan color.

When they came close to the building where the event was taking place, Alayah went inside, Elin saw a car, went towards that, and started looking at herself in that mirror, soon a girl came out from that car and went into the building.

"Just take a look at her outdated outfit and bizarre red heels", she said to herself.

"Yes, absolutely", she heard a voice and turned around, A man in a two-piece suit, was standing behind her. "Who are you by the way?" Elin asked.

"Well, I am Walter, and came with my boss to attend today's event, whatever you said is exactly right, I mean just look at you. How stylish you are, I mean the way you walk, your dress, your heel, you have a style".

"Oh, thank you, one day I will become a successful designer and will teach this lady something about fashion, I am so late, I need to go now", Elin replied and went towards the building.

She went into the elevator; Erik was already there.

The elevator's door closed and, it remained still, neither up nor down.

"Hey, what you just did?" Erik asked in anger.

"What? I did nothing, I think it is you who did something to stop the elevator", Elin replied.

"Why should I?" Erik replied and dialed Walter's number, "Walter? Do something I am just stuck here", he said.

"I know, I am with the staff and they are fixing the issue", Walter replied.

"I told you I did nothing!" Elin replied.

"Well, you did nothing, but I think it is your nose who did it", Erik laughed.

"What? You want to say, are you making fun of my nose?" Elin shouted.

"No, between your deep eyes and beautiful chin it just looks magnificent", Erik replied with a smile and pick Walter's call.

"Mr. Erik, don't worry, the staff will fix it soon", Walter informed.

"Tell them not to worry", Erik replied while looking into the eyes of Elin.

"By the way, nice outfit. I appreciate how stylish your tie is", Elin said.

"Well, it seems like you are wearing a designer too", Erik commented.

"I am a designer, in fact, my all dresses are my own creation", Elin said proudly.

"I don't know a lot about fashion", Erik said.

"I know a lot, she started exaggerating, "I went to New York Fashion Week last year, and I saw..." the elevator's door opened, and Walter was standing there.

"Oh God, why it opened", Erik said exhaustedly.

"I hope you are okay", Walter asked Elin instead of Erik.

"I hope I didn't bore you", Erik said to Elin.

"Ha-ha, well you entertained me", she replied.

"Then, for more entertainment", He took a card out of his pocket, "you can call me anytime."

"Sure, my friend is waiting for me I need to go now", Elin said.

"Of course, Have a good day", Erik said ad left.

The event took place behind that building, near the pool. There were a number of tables with two or three individuals standing around them, they were engaged in a variety of activities. Some of them were flirting, some were talking about their families, and some were talking about politics or business.

Aaron, Della, and Henry were talking to each other, Aaron saw a person coming towards him, he was Denzel, brother of Henry, and Harry's uncle. He had a blurry fade haircut that fit his personality and was wearing a turtleneck black shirt and black pants. He was looking at Aaron with his dark brown eyes.

"Hey, how are you doing", He asked.

"I am doing great, where were you been?" Aaron asked.

"I was in South Africa, just on a trip", He replied.

"Trip with? I mean who was your partner?" Aaron asked.

He said and Henry joined him.

"Well, it is his habit, he just disappears, interesting thing is he enjoys his own company. When he feels that things are getting too tough for him to manage, he simply runs. Now he came back after two months, his phone remained powered off. " Henry said.

Aaron was looking at them with a smile.

"When did you come back? " Henry asked.

"Two weeks ago,", Denzel replied carelessly.

"Aaron, can you believe he didn't bother to call me", Henry complained.

" Being the one and only artist in our family, I was busy. " Denzel replied.

"Why didn't you come last month? I told you about the event and it was specifically for the musicians. You missed a golden opportunity since you are so irresponsible with your career", Henry scolded him.

"My beloved brother, please scold me once more. I miss your angry face a lot.", He laughed.

"Ha-ha here's how to make me laugh I miss you too, but why didn't you come for the event? " Henry said.

" Since art and the heart are intertwined, I sing when I feel like it and refrain from doing so when I don't. At the time of the event, I didn't feel like singing", he replied while taking a sip of the drink.

"Why you are worried about him? He is mature enough to understand his responsibilities?" Aaron said.

"I promised my father and mother to take care of him but he is just", Henry was saying but Denzel interrupted him.

"Brother! I saw a friend of mine so need to leave! Sorry, I will join you again", Denzel said and went towards an empty table, and asked a waitress to bring a drink.
