Chapter 7: Who called?

Back at the mansion, everywhere was in an uproar. You could hear Miss Lara's stern voice saying...

"None of what happened here today should be disclosed to Anna. If I hear a word of it, you all should consider yourselves fired"

"But isn't her right to know?" Lolita asked with boldness.

"I also think the same, she has to know that that woman called". Stella chipped in.

Miss Lara looked at them as if she were looking at two morons and just when she was about to reprimand them, she heard a soft voice ask behind her....

" Who called?"

They had no idea that Anna had come back.

Grey had brought her home and headed back to his home. She had called out for Stella and Lolita but no one responded so she carried the foodstuffs she had bought inside by herself, though they were a little heavy and that was when she heard what Stella said.

"Anna! You are back so soon" Miss Lara said hiding her nervousness.

"What's going on Aunty? what were you guys talking about?" Anna asked again.

"It's nothing serious dear, nothing to worry yourself about". " what did you buy? Give them to tell Lolita so they can go keep them in the kitchen then you go upstairs, change your clothes and come down for dinner".

Anna decided not to ask any further, although she wasn't quite convinced by what Miss Lara said. But since she had no strength left after the banter with Juliet, she decided to go to her room.

****

The next morning, Anna woke up with a headache, she opened the bedside drawer and took out a pack of painkillers, and went downstairs to get some water which she would take the drugs with.

After taking the medicine, Anna started heading upstairs when she caught sight of something lying on the floor.

She went down and picked it up, it was an invitation. She opened it and read the contents her hands started to tremble and she fainted.

This was the scene that Stella walked into, she screamed, and the broom which she was holding in her left hand fell, she rushed towards and started shaking her, suddenly she saw the invitation that Anna was still holding on to and her eyes widened in shock.
