Claire woke up the next day and prepared for work as usual, she left her room and went to the guest's room.

She walked in and met her Dad holding his bag pack, “Dad, you're going back already " She asked.

“yeah, I'll be going now. you be a good girl and stay out of trouble. okay?” He asked, Claire nodded.

she went to the dinning table and ate little quantity of the food prepared for breakfast. she grabbed her dad's bag and walked out, Her dad followed her and they walked up the street trying to find a cab.

They soon stopped a taxi, luckily Claire's was working not that far from the airport so she boarded the cab with her Dad. They both got in the cab and told the driver the destination.

The cab started moving, there was silence in the car as they drove slowly through the traffic. “Dad, I hope you've spoken with your wife to stop her wicked acts against me” Claire asked.

“your step mum had always been a caring woman, you can't see that because you're blinded by your mum's death” He responded.

“I knew you're happy with her death, you're always supportive of what that bitch does” Claire yelled.

“How dare you call my wife a bitch” Her dad asked with a angry face, The driver watched as they both argued yelling on top of their voices.

“wow, you guys really have some serious issues ” The cabman said. “Shut up!” They both yelled at him.

“stop the car, stop it now! ” Claire yelled, The car slowed down and parked. Claire got down from the vehicle, “get back in here right now! ” Her dad yelled at her.

“you and your stupid bitch can go fuck yourself, I hope you never come back home!!” Claire yelled and slammed the door angrily.

Her Dad watched as she boarded a cab and disappeared out of sight, Her dad sighed. “Hey man, I know what you're going through. if you need someone to talk to it about, just know..” “Just shut your stupid mouth up and take me to the airport! ” He yelled at the driver.

The driver ignited his engine and drove off to the airport.

Claire got to the restaurant and walked in with a sad face, miss Kate quickly noticed and walked to her, She asked Claire if everything was okay and she simply nodded.

Claire wore a sad face throughout the day, Her mood suddenly changed when a car suddenly parked in front of the restaurant.

Claire stretched her neck trying to see who just came down from the vehicle, It was the men that came eating yesterday, The rich dumb boy!.

Claire quickly thought of approaching them i n a different way today, only three came today and Claire thought of asking them about there Friend's whereabouts.

She quickly washed the thought off her mind saying it wasn't necessary. Claire watched as the gentlemen approaches the door.

The men walked in and called on her to take their orders. Claire walked to the table and cleared her throat.

“Morning gentlemen, Am sorry for being too forward yesterday, I didn't know you were dumb” Claire said. Jake didn't reply but only stared at her weirdly. “Oh, he's deaf too?” Claire asked nobody particularly.

One of the men covered his mouth trying to hold himself from laughing, He couldn't control it any more. He bursts out laughing so hard.

Claire stared at him confusedly, she watched as the men laughed harder. “Em, i think his friends has issues too, what a weird friendship! ” Claire exclaimed and walked away from them.

She walked to the kitchen and returned with their orders, Claire served them and as she had expected, the dumb guy didn't eat the food.

Claire walked away from them to attend to other customers, she finished serving the customers and took her seat, she stared at the young men and saw them talking to the dumb guy, Claire saw the boy nod at something said to him.

“maybe he's just dumb, yeah he's dumb. He can obviously hear what his friends are telling him” Claire said to her self.

Claire saw the one of them point at her, Her heart skipped a bit. Her heartbeats beat faster when she saw the man stand and walk slowly to him.

“Hey, my friend thinks you might be a good maid, would you considering working for us?” He asked her.

“what!, I can't just quit my work here and..” “The pay's 500 dollar per week!” The man interrupted her.

“Am in!” Claire said with excitement when she heard the amount she could earn per week.

Claire gave the man her home's address, They were to come pick him up later in the day. The man went back to his seat and continued eating, They soon finished eating and left the restaurant.

Claire walked happily to miss Kate and told her all that had happened, she congratulated her. Claire decided to leave immediately to go prepare. “oh one more thing ” Claire said and walked to the manager's office.

She went in without knocking, “I told you to always knock and wait for confirmation before entering my office!” The manager yelled angrily.

“Do this one more time and you might get yourself fired!” He yelled. Claire stared at his face which was sweating profusely, she instantly knew something was going on.

“i actually came to tell you that I quit ” Claire said, “oh, that's good news. I wish you well in your future endeavours, now would you leave my office please? ” He asked.

Claire stood up and walked to the door, she stopped and stared back at him. “I can see her hiding under the table!” Claire said and walked out. she closed the door and heard him murmur some things.

She walked away from the door and waved goodbye to miss kate, she boarded a taxi home. She picked her phone and dialed her dad's line, He didn't pickup.

she tried one more time but he still didn't pick it, She kept the phone back in her handbag and relaxed as the taxi went through the city, she got home and went straight to her room ignoring her step mother sitting in the guest room.

Claire came back minutes afterwards, “I've secured a job with the CEO of Jake's Ltd, he's gonna be here to pick me up anytime soon" Claire said and turned to leave.

“What post are you gonna work for them as, there toilet cleaner? " Claire's step mum said sarcastically, “She's lying mum, Jake ltd wouldn't employ someone like her!” Mitchell exclaimed.

“you'll see for yourself! ” Claire said and walked to her room, she picked her phone and dialed her dad's number again.

This time he picked and they spoke about Claire's new job, Claire's definitely happy she finally got a new and profitable job.
