‘Goodnight,’ Audrey wrote with a sleeping emoji.
Chisom replied also, then, she took picture of the portrait and sent it to Stanley.
The following morning, Audrey had a quick shower unlike before when she would take her time to freshen up. Then, she wore a white coat with turtleneck dress, pairing the monochrome look with an olive clutch and pumps. Not bothering to look at her reflection in the mirror, she headed downstairs, turning to the extremely luxurious dining room to grab a quick bite before going to the hospital to visit Chioma.
On the long exquisite table were all kinds of dishes and fruits, including Audrey’s favourite pineapple rice, fried rice and egg. They dishes were all delicious and carefully prepared but it seems like she had lost the appetite to eat because her friend Chioma was in the hospital.
‘Mum, I am starving already. Can we eat now?’ Celine turned her head and asked Isabelle. Celine was in her smart school uniform.
Isabelle smiled. ‘Not yet. Your dad and brother are not here.’ She was looking elegant in her forest green skirt suit, a string of pearls and a black handbag, which one of the maid-in-waits was holding for her.
‘Big brother Felix isn’t going to eat for sure…’Celine mumbled. ‘I’m sure he is fasting for his girlfriend.’ She rolled her eyes.
Just then, Nicholas walked into the dining, dressed in a navy blue suit and matching shoes and gold-rimmed glasses which made him look like an elegant scholar.
‘Dad…is good you came already. I’m really starving,’Celine breathed.
‘Dad, let’s dig in. I need to visit my friend.’ Audrey’s voice was small, but Nicholas still heard what she said.
