Chapter 18; Good morning Tatiana

"Good morning Auntie." she said politely

"Auntie? who's your Auntie?? I never approved of you two being together, you are a golddigger. I won't accept you as my daughter-in-law, you don't deserve Jack, you worthy nothing not even a penny." Ann scolded her, she didn't even hide the disdain in her eyes.

Sabrina's eyes watered sat down and lowered her head waiting for the maid to serve her, she didn't say nor reply to her.

" I feel disgusted seeing you, I even lost my appetite." Ann pushed the chair back roughly, making sounds and stomped out of the dining room.

Sabrina lowered her head and ate silently, tears streaming down her cheeks. Finishing up she went back to her room.

Tatiana woke up to feel something on her forehead, she stretched her hand out to touch and, she realized it was a note.

"Dear Nana, Good morning, I have gone to work, remember to eat healthy and have your medicine, I will be back soon, be good and rest more. kisses."

Tatiana smiled softly folded it and placed it inside the drawer. Sally came in with a tray of food and saw Tatiana smiling.

"Good morning Tatiana what's making you smile." Sally spoke softly as she placed the tray on the bed, helped her sit up and placed it on her lap.

"Am just happy, Tina left me a note." Tatiana replied softly as she started having her breakfast.

"She cares about you, and it's good to be in a jovial mood." Sally said softly.

" Yeah that's true, I want to draw today. I don't know how to get the drawing board and other equipments." Tatiana said softly, finishing up her food, Sally took the food tray and placed it on the bedside drawer.

" Alright I will call madam and see how to get them," saying that she took her phone and called Tina on her private number.

"Hello, Sally here." Sally said softly.

"Yes Sally." Tina was done with a client when her phone rang, she proceeded to pick up and signalled the other clients lined up to go to the other teller counters.

"Tatiana wants to draw, so she asked if she can get the needed equipments." Sally said politely.

" Give the phone to Nana." Tina said softly. Sally passed the phone to Tatiana.

" Hello Tina," she said softly.

"My dear Nana what's the matter?" Tina asked her.

"I wanted to do some drawing today." she replied gently.

" Alright l will let someone get you the equipments and sent them there. anything else?" Tina asked.

" Tina I want to have ice cream, and tell them to buy water paints all colors." Tatiana said softly.

" Anything else you want sweetie?" Tina asked her sweetly.

"No... no.... no..thing." Tatiana stuttered and blushed from the adorning.

"Haha alright Nana, while drawing don't get impatient with yourself mnn..., a step at a time, little by little." Tina advised her gently.

" Alright Tina don't worry." Tatiana replied softly.

" Alright my Nana, give the phone back to Sally." Tina said.

"Sally I will send someone to buy those stuffs." Tina said and the call ended.

Tina called Felix and instructed him to send some shadow guards to run that errand and send the stuff back home. She then continued with her work.

"Tatiana what inspired you to draw?" Sally asked curiously as she placed her phone back into her pocket.

"I need to stabilize my emotions, so drawing can be good for my upstart, but again am talented in drawing, when I was young I won many awards." she praised herself softly.

" Mnnh alright then, take your medicine, when the equipments arrive, I will wake you up." Tatiana nodded her head and took the medicine, Sally helped her lie down, and positioned the covers well, she then closed her eyes to sleep.

Sally sat on the couch watching TV in low volume while watching her.

Few hours later, Sally heard a knock on the door, she went forward and opened it, saw it's the guards carrying boxes.

"Let's go to the second floor and set up one room for her." Sally said as they walked upstairs and opened up one room that was empty and set it up as a studio.

Finishing up she went down and found Tatiana has woken up.

"You up already?" Sally asked softly.

"Yeah take me to draw, also I can have my meals there." she said softly as Sally helped her up.

They went into the studio set up already, she placed a comfortable seat at the balcony, and let her sit down there, she then brought the drawing board and positioned the stand to her level, so that she can draw while sitting.

"Which paints do you want to start with Tatiana?" Sally asked her.

" Pour small amounts into the small container holders, put in cream, white, black and charcoal." she said politely and Sally did as she was told and brought all the brushes for her to do the choosing and then she started painting, Sally just sat there watching.

In the evening Tina came back home seeing no one in the living room, she went upstairs to the second floor and found Tatiana painting.

"She walked towards her, Tatiana heard someone's footsteps and looked towards the door and saw Tina walking in.

"Tina you are back?" she wanted to stand up. but Tina shook her head as she said, " Don't stand up Nana" she hurriedly went near her and pecked her cheeks lightly.

"My dear Nana, you really know your stuff here, you know how to shade and mix the colors well, am telling you, this painting here will be an excellent work." Tina praised her softly while checking out the painting.

"Really?? You are not flattering me?" Tatiana asked anxiously.

" How about this, my company is having an anniversary next month, if you finish it by then, I will put it up for auction together with other good stuff we are auctioning that day, and you will see how much it will fetch." Tina said softly, She bent down to her level and came face to face with her, She took out some wet wipes and started cleaning her face.
