As Cole was hatching his plan to get inexperienced and gullible Aba to do his bidding while avoiding her caretaker Agatha’s suspicion he heard his cousin’s voice, “Wyatt, I did not do it on purpose.”
“Whatever,” I answered, and walking toward Cole I said, “Mr. Cole, have you sent the coordinates to your client?”
“I sent them the minute I arrived here. They should be arriving any second now.” answered Cole.
Seeing the crowd outside, Jackie who fetched a glass of water did not know how to react and choose to just give the water to the intended person, Cole.
“Here Mr. Cole, your glass of water.” Said Jackie handing Cole a glass of water.
“…” Seeing Jackie serve Cole water I couldn’t help but frown.
“I am thirsty too,” said Aba looking at Jackie, who replied, “I will get it right away.”
“Jackie, what are you doing?” I asked Jackie in a stern voice.
“Master Wyatt, big sis Susan wasn’t here so I, I just wanted to help.” Jackie was startled by her brother-in-law’s stern voice, she didn’t understand what she did wrong for him to react as such.
“You are pregnant, you don’t need to do this. Let your husband fill in for Susan.” I know that Jackie is as much as rotten as Ronnie but I couldn’t watch a pregnant woman toil around when a able grown ass man was doing nothing.
“Yes, honey. Wyatt is right, you should sit and rest. I will get the water.” Ronnie immediately chimed in. While Jackie couldn’t help but feel that she doesn’t deserve such a caring brother-in-law.
“Wait, why are you guys still here? Don’t you know Uncle and Aunty are worried sick about you?” I felt a headache for Ronnie’s loving parents, they should disown this heartless bastard and live in peace. After all, he is the source of all trouble in the life they built for themselves. Which was no more and this asshole was the one to be blamed.
“I—” Ronnie wanted to say he lost track of time and make other nonsense excuses but was interrupted by his cousin.
“Don’t waste time explaining to me, head home right away,” I ordered the couple.
“Yes,” Ronnie replied affirmatively, and then grabbing hold of his pregnant wife’s wrist he headed out but was stopped by his wife who looked at his cousin and said, “Thank you, Thank you for everything.”
“No problem, now head home you two,” I said feeling that Jackie was being genuine. Seeing the couple exit the warehouse, Aba asked in dissatisfaction, “What about my water?”
“Are you pregnant?” I asked Aba.
“How dare you ask that to me—” Aba explode being asked if she was pregnant but before she could finish she was interrupted by me as I repeating myself sternly, “I asked, are you pregnant?”
“… No!” embarrassed and enraged Aba shouted.
“Then go get your damn water yourself. Aren’t you ashamed to ask a pregnant girl to fetch you a glass of water?” I reprimanded Aba, while Agatha just watch it all happen. After all, this was the true purpose of their stay here.
*Cough* *Cough* hearing my words Cole choked on the water he was drinking.
“How can you speak to me like that I am your friend?” Aba complained.
“Princess, that’s what friends do, correct you when you are doing things wrong.” Agatha stepped in to calm Aba and help her understand where she was wrong and how should she react in such a situation.
“B-but I just asked for a glass of water,” Aba spoke defending herself. Since Agatha would support her no matter if she said that she did something wrong than Aba had no other choice but to accept it.
“Princess, you are smart, you know where you went wrong?” Agatha did not argue with Aba but let her decide herself and reach a conclusion.
“Ara, what happened, why is my little baby so down in the dumps.” A mature feminine voice suddenly sounded in the room. Everyone turns to see the source of the voice only to find a mature lady with graying hair, clearly showing the sign of entering the wise age from mature age.
“Grandma Asong, what are you doing here?” looking at the mature lady, Aba yelled in surprise and rushed into her embrace.
“Your majesty Asong.” Agatha greeted the mature lady hurriedly and then Cole followed her, saying, “Madam Asong, you are here.”
“Aba, how many times should I remind you not to call me grandma, for god sake I am younger than your father?” The mature lady named Asong seemed not to like being called grandma by Aba but still tolerated it.
“Sorry,” Aba apologized sticking out her tongue clearly her apology wasn’t sincere and she planned to tease her again.
“Fatty, Asong was your client? You should have told me earlier.” Anna also seemed to know Asong. And from her tone, they seemed to be on good terms.
“There are a lot of familiar faces here. Anna, it has been a while. I hear a rumor that you no longer party, is it true?” Asong greeted Anna while Aba still continued to embrace her.
“Yes, your words came true,” Anna answered mysteriously while looking at me.
“Haha, Good, Good, I am happy for you.” said Asong, and turning to Cole she said, “Cole, I thought this was a third-rate city, so why are you all here? Did I miss something?”
“Madam Asong, I cannot answer for everyone but we are here for Master Wyatt. He is the card creationist I spoke about,” Cole introduced me to Asong and then added, “Master Wyatt, this Madam Asong, she is your client.”
“Hello Madam Asong, pleased to meet you.” I greeted my client. Since I did not know how to address her so followed Cole’s choice of words.
After Cole introduced us, with a gentle smile Asong looked at me, and asked, “Hello, Master Wyatt. Aren’t you a little too young for a golden grade card creationist?”
“Yes, yes I am.”
“Well, I must say that I am really quite impressed.”
