Yes!

Are you crazy?

Nope! This is the best option or do you have another?

Not really but I can't bring Just anyone into the family. What if they are spy or even swindle?

Let me be, if you don't want to take my advice then let me enjoy the club. Kathleen stand up from Barbara.

You should go through it while I dance away my sorrow. she walked into the dance floor with one of her numerous crazy dance step.

Although barbara didn't go through the Ad, she collect the site, just in case there is need for it but definitely she is not buying that she is not going to option for one, not now, not in the future but never say never.

Barbara lie lazily on her luxurious bed, she was tired from the nightclub, her Telecom ring, she struggles to take it.

My lady! The dinning is set, master Calvin is there and the other members of the family.

Oh please, just tell Dad, I will skip, so tired.

Right away, my lady! Fiona is in a hurry to leave, she haven't gone far from the room's door when she hear Barbara talking on her phone, she was talking to Calvin, she assumed when she heard.

I will dad!

Fiona just left knowing that she is not going to get scolded by Calvin, if she doesn't show up at the dinning.

Shall we! Calvin said as he start eating. Is Barbara not coming down? Hazel asked.

Nope! She said she wants to be excuse that she is abit under the weather.

Is she under the weather or sulky?

Sulky? Calvin pick the last word, Hazel gaze move to Claudia, how did she give birth to such an idiot of a daughter. Go on! Do you know anything, I don't know?

Not really dad, I just felt because she might pick a boy that you might not approved of, so she is thinking about it.

Claudia correct herself, Calvin is about to say something then his phone ring.

Oh! I have something to do at the office, we talk about this when I return. Calvin drop his cutleries and exit the door, Hazel look at Claudia.

What is it?

If your mouth keep running like this, just because you want to make jest of Barbara, you will end up getting into more trouble, you should know, Barbara is your father's princess not you.

But I am the only true heir.

If you say so.

Mother, you should always...

Always take side with you? Hazel asked but didn't wait for answer. I do, I love you and you are the only one, I love and I always take side with you but it's my duty to protect you.

Not that, Hazel love Barbara, she doesn't feel anything for Barbara, left for her, she could had throw Barbara out of their life and home but the only one person, she is scared of, is Calvin, her husband, who might be the father of Barbara but still didn't give an explanation about what relationship he had with Barbara. The one time, she strongly want to know about the existence of Barbara, Calvin threatened to throw her out.

Since she wants peace and still love this luxury she is living in, her silent will do more good than barking unlike Claudia who is not ready to buy that.

Barbara is in her room, getting ready to go out, her phone ring, it's from Kathleen.

This naughty girl, why is she calling again? She pick reluctantly. Hello Kathleen.

Have you seen my message?

What message?

It's fine, I have to go to the office, I will check for it later.

Alright, I will just go shopping.

Oh please! Enjoy your stressful life and let me enjoy my stress free life

Silly! Thanks anyway. She hurry out with her stuff, she is already late, so tired during the weekend that she is starting her week with stress.

Sorry, just don't mind me. She said dragging her bag as she hurry into the company, the staffs keeps bowing at her, she is one of the director of the Calvin's group under one of their branch. Kathleen is dying to hear what her findings are, so she called again.

Have you see it?

Kathleen, are you mad?

Hey, I am not expecting you to call me mad, you should thank me, for looking for the best site for you. Best site? Did you see the pays and they are just for an hour?

Yes, you have money. Apart from you getting pay each month, your allowance is enough to rent hundred, so used your money to get what you want.

You really are crazy and to think they said, "Keep in mind these rates do not include any kissing or sex (strictly forbidden) but do include activities like shopping, a single hug, and a karaoke/hand-holding session"

What do you want?

If I paying that much, I should get the kissing...

Silly, you should even get the sex, since you are going crazy now.

Hell no! That aspect, I am keeping it for my husband, but joke about, it's too expensive, since I will be keeping him for a day. She is waiting for Kathleen reply but no one came out. Are you there?

Yes, I am trying to find out the cost of kissing.

Kathleen, what am I going to do with you?

Kiss me!

You naughty, I am not a man, so I can't kiss you.

Are you renting him? Which of the men, do you like? Should I help you to pick?

No oh! I will do that myself.

Fine, tell me, when you finally picked.

I will, enjoy your shopping and don't forget to shop for me.

Bye! I talk to you later, I just saw my crush.

Who? CEO Dante?

Hell no! Another. Barbara titter as Kathleen end the call, she had work to do, so for now, she need to focus, is like Derrick is a distraction to her

Now that she no longer have a boyfriend, she should spend her time at the office, is not a bad idea to be industrious instead of catching fun with an idiot.

She just hope Derrick doesn't make Claudia worse than what she already is, she doesn't like work, she prefers to relied on her father's fortune.
