Chapter 423- It’s Okay
"She is still in contact with Dad," Aniya informed Lisa after handing over the dirty dishes to the kitchen boy.
With a shocked face, Lisa spun around, "See? I told you."
After taking a two day off she had joined back the job, but Aniya could see dark circles around her eyes. She thought Lisa was still sick, but Lisa satisfied her by telling her that she was just weak due to the after-effects of her medications.
"I had this impression that they might be crazily in love then it crossed my mind that no sane mother would want to meet a man who tried to ra*pe her daughter."
Lisa had sympathy in her eyes and Aniya hated it. Valerie broke her trust and was still acting as if she loved her and cared for her.
"So, what about your birthday plans?" Lisa asked her and she shrugged with a sarcastic grin.
"Nothing. I’ll spend the day with her as I committed and then I’ll tell her the next morning that I’m leaving," she told her with a sigh and Lisa felt sorry for her, "Lisa. Umm... I need to ask this ... Is... is that offer..." Aniya hesitated a bit, but Lisa got her.
"The one where you are welcome to stay at my place? Of course, silly. The offer is always open," she slapped her arm, "Just enjoy your day with her, and then I’ll be at your place the next morning to pick you up."
"No need," she gave Lisa a tightlipped smile, "You’re already doing a lot. I don’t have much to pack anyways," she picked up the freshly washed soup bowls and brought them out of the kitchen.
Lisa could see that she was angry. Before she could ask Aniya to place the bowls carefully, Aniya had almost dumped them into the trolley as a result one ceramic bowl got a crack.
"Damn!" she cursed and looked up to where Mr. Ramsey was giving her, those killing looks.
