I took some money from my wallet and gave it to my sister.

"You just buy the food you like out there," I told my sister.

"Thank you, Brother," the child said.

She bolted from the house and into the store, as I witnessed. I can't see my mother right now. So I rushed into my bedroom and jumped into bed. Davianna's actions had an adverse effect on me. I wouldn't be surprised if she told me straight up that I didn't stand a chance with her. My admiration and affection for her were blinding me.

So I'm in pain because I'm hoping we'll end up together, but I'm wasting my time with a bitch. I heard my phone ring inside my slacks. I ignored Davianna despite the fact that she had contacted me several times. Is there anything else we should talk about? She was clearly deceiving me. I'm not the type of person who would stay with someone who is toxic.

The door was knocked on.

"Son, come out first so we can eat," my mother yelled outside the door.

I got out of bed and went for a walk outside. My mother escorted me into the kitchen. I dug in and grabbed a plate to get started.

"Mom, where is your sister?" I asked.

"She's outside at the grocery store, and she'll stay there and play with her friends," my mother explained.

"Are you alright? Is it possible that I've picked up on your grief at this point? " My mother said something to me.

"I'm fine, Mom; I'm just exhausted from work; we've done a lot already." My response.

While Zaneska remained in her office,

She did nothing but sit and ponder. She tried to call her friend but was unable to do so. She needed to relax and take a vacation because she was bored at work.

She also does not have a boyfriend, which makes her feel insecure in comparison to those who have a simple life but a man who loves them unconditionally. She had it all, but she's so lonely.

I got to my feet and walked out the door, carrying my sling bag. To get some fresh air, I like to go for a walk outside of town. I'm hoping to find a way to escape the boredom I'm feeling. I decided to first go inside the mall to look for new clothes and bags. I'm thinking about taking the girls to the beach to get some fresh air.

I've already entered the shopping mall. Maybe I called them so we could find a great swimsuit. I took out my phone from my bag and dialed Luciana's number.

After three rings, she picked up the phone.

"Hello, ma'am?" she says at the other end of the line.

"All of you come here to the city's mall," I remarked.

"Yes, ma'am," she replied.

Lucianna's demeanor is one of my favorites because she isn't afraid to ask questions. In other words, she's not annoying. They were all enjoyable to be around. I'm not the type of boss who allows my wealth to shape my entire personality to the point where I refuse to interact with my employees.

Then I noticed a group of girls walking towards the mall's entrance. Because their voices were so loud, they'd be easy to spot. I'm watching them zx w from behind the perfume counter.

"Where is Miss Zaneska, Luciana? I can't seem to find her; don't tell me you're mocking us?" Lazzy asked.

"Girls, keep your voices as quiet as possible.  We're not at home."  Lucianna's reprimand.

"How are we going to spend our time here?"

"Miss Zaneska has dispatched us. Can you tell me where she is?"

"I don’t know since she told me that we came here," Lucianna replied.

 I’m not trying not to laugh at their commotion.

I emerged from my hiding spot.

"You're all too loud. You're all too noisy; it's a good thing the guard let you in." I said as I approached them.

"Miss, where are you hiding?"

"Over there. All of you were too loud. It's embarrassing to be with."

Their brows furrowed.

I'm giggling.

"Did you bring any cash with you?"

"Nothing, Miss," they said.

"How's it going now? We're going to get a swimsuit, but you don't have any money, so you can't."

"Miss, we're not going to wear a bathing suit."

I smirked.

"We're going to the beach," I said.

"Really?"

"Yes, I'm tired of living my boring life, so let's relax."

They all shouted at the same time, causing other customers to look at us.

"Choose your favorite swimwear color."

When Zander's phone rang, he was busy checking his students' records. It was his male coworkers who addressed him.

"Hello." I said on the other line.

 "Zander, Dude, let's hang out tonight." He said.

"No, thank you. I've got a lot on my plate right now."

"Oh, come on! Give yourself a break. By the way, Davianna and I met at the market earlier, and she wants to see and talk to you."

 My anguish tightens. She had no right to talk to me. There's nothing to discuss.

"All right, so where are we going?" I asked.

 "The one I mentioned earlier, the new open bar here on our property." Duke response.

"Okay."

 "Great. I'll call you later." He said.

Then he puts the phone down.

I'm back to work in order to finish. Later, there was a knock at the door.

"Son, someone is looking for you." my mother said outside the door.

 "Yes, Mother, I'm coming!" I yelled.

I stuffed my belongings into the drawer and changed my clothing.

When I emerged, Duke was waiting for me.

I burst out laughing.

"I hope you just phoned me, so you don't have to come here."

"I have nothing to do at home."

"Today is too early to go inside the pub."

 "Yeah, so maybe we'll go later. Or it would be better if we went early and found a date."

My brows furrow.
