Chapter 10: Silver Aria.
The moon was out the way, making it an opportunity for the sun to work. Everyone is busy with their life activities. Flora is here again trying to dig about information from her parent's death. What a turn of life! "Hsve you been waiting for a long time? I am so sorry for the delay, I just escaped an accident". She got shocked hearing another accident, are they already tailing her knowing she is trying to investigate her parent's death. "Hope you are alright? I apologize for the harm. I think we need to be more careful regarding our investigation.
"Yes I feel the need to be also. I am more worried about you Mrs Flora".
"How did you know I am a Mrs now?
He smiled, "who wouldn't know the great man's wife, well I just happen to know, not that it all over everywhere though ".
"Oh, okay then. So what is the progress?", in a hurry to leave, thinking Arthur might still be around spying on her. "These are the information I found". He brought out some pictures and papers and placed it on the table. She hurriedly took it and put inside her bag immediately. "Let's talk about it when I get home and give you a call, okay?".
"No problem ma, stay healthy and fine ".
"Bye Mr Prum". She left him and hailed a taxi to get her loads.
Immediately she left, he brought out his phone and made a call. "Boss, I need to report something important to you ".
"You should know I am in the office, you are just lucky I answered, what is it?, my time is precious, speak up".
"It about Madam, your wife ". Scott adjusted his sitting upon hearing it was about his wife. His voice changed from icy to a murder tone.
"Shoot now!!!!".
........
When Flora got to the entrance of Scott's mansion, she asked the driver to help her upload all her loads so he could leave. She thought of how to transport all the loads into the house. She stayed at the front of the gate and press on the door bell switch. The security opened the gate and asked who she is. "Hmm, I am Ryain Flora, your master said he had informed you about my coming".
An unknown pain striked her from her head, she remembered nobody knows her here, so to save these stress she should have just let him bring her home.
"Ohh am so sorry ma, Master had already informed us, come in ma, the servants would come help you with your luggage". She entered the house and was amazed with how simple and exquisite every where was. She knew the servants including the security man would wonder why her husband had not brought her into their home instead. Well, she was the one who insisted to come by herself, she won't stay long here anyways, so why the grand entry? She talked to herself.
Scott had decided to pick her up himself, but she had insisted he shouldn't bother. "Welcome madam, you are welcome".
"Thank you everyone, she thanked them".
They took her luggages upstairs. "Ma'am, please follow us, let us how you to your room".
One of the servants said.
"Okay, thanks".
"This is you and master's room, go in take a shower. When you are done, you should come down to eat. We prepared your favorites already". The eldest servant, Mrs Janet explained to her. "Why does it sound as if she is commanding her? Did he gave all these arranged instructions, I can see he us obsessed with arrangement of things, or maybe he has a psychological problem regarding it". She thought in her mind and smirked.
Scott at the office was wondering if she had gotten to his house and how she was doing.

Maxson has resumed coming to the company, he was in his office sipping his coffee when his phone rang, he picked it up and checked the caller, it was Roy.
"Hello" Roy voice echoed from the phone.
"I was about calling you" Maxson responded immediately.
"Ohh, I wanted to ask if your brother have forgiven you and hope everything is good?" Roy said.
"Yea, we are cool. Thanks for checking up", he replied.
"So what is it you wanted to tell me, morever, where are you? The place you are seems so silent, I thought you would have been out partying or having fun as you used to". Roy asked surprisingly.
He smiled before responding to Roy, "I am in the company, I started work today, that wasn't even what I wanted to talk to you about". Like guy, I just met this new girl, I met her the last time I went partying, and I just want to hear some tips from you".
Roy suddenly laughed before responding him, this made Maxson frowned and went silent. "Bro, this is not what I wanted from you, just talk to me".
"Okay, okay, what happened then? Who is this lady in question? he asked .
" Her name is Vie, she works as a waitress in one of the restaurant I usually visit. I don't know, I just have this different liking for her. I tried talking to her but she didn't given me any chance nor respond to me. Since then, I have been so worried. I find myself thinking about her, like bro, this has never happened to me before "
"Ohh, our Maxson has fallen into love", he laughed again. "Okay, you just have to try going back to the restaurant, meet her and speak to her like just friends. Make sure you don't rush things with her, just try making friends with her, as time goes on, you guys will be cool".
"Okay bro, thanks a lot". Maxson appreciated.
"So why the company, a price to pay for your sins?"
"Yes, mum and big bro insisted, I have no choice ". Maxson said tirelessly.
"Okay then, make sure you are good. I believe they all want the best for you. Take care, bye". Roy said.
"Okay bro". The phone call ended and Maxson resumed his work on his system.

When Flora had settled down, she came downstairs to eat. Then she thought of preparing a dish for Scott, as a way of appreciating. At least, he had been the one to open the channel of how she can get back her things from those evil people she called humans.
She asked for permission from the head chef in the house, he was initially reluctant and later informed her she can go ahead. She had thought maybe he had gone to inform Scott via phone. Well, this is not her house, the head of the house must be aware of everything going on in his home.
While she was in the kitchen, she got a text message from Scott. He had told her to add one more person meal to what she would be cooking, he said his sister was coming and she would be coming to their place. She replied him okay.
Flora wondered why she wasn't going to her parent's place. Though, she didn't know much about their family but she thought as a daughter, coming back for a long time, you would have missed your parents so badly that you would want to visit them first. She thought about it and later dust the concern off.
Scott who had been working in his office had also got a call from his mum to help her pick Aria from the airport.
"Mum, she had informed me, don't worry about it, I'll do as you have said ", he had reassured her.
"Okay, thanks my son. Please make sure she is well taken care of, whenever she is ready to come home, we are all ready to see her, please inform her".
"Okay mum, I will". He replied.
Aria had spoken to her big brother that she would like to stay in his place for sometime. She was into fashion business which her father had declined. It was what she loves and she felt no one was willing to support her. Her father had wahted her to go into the business world, but she had always been following her heart.
Scott left the company and one if his men, Max, drove him to the airport.

Flora was still busy in the kitchen, she had loved cooking since when she was a child. It was also her mother's hobby and she had taught her how to cook different dishes.
When she was done cooking the food, her best friend, Beauty called.
"Flora, please I really need your help right now, I want you to come over to my company", her voice was in a panic state, this worried Flora.
"Beauty, tell me what happened. I'll be right there".
"When you get here, I'll explain everything, please come right now!". She said with a broken tone.
"Okay then, I will be on my way now. Please just calm down". Flora assured her.
She went upstairs and changed her cloth, informed the servants to tell Scott when he is back. She had also set the food she had prepared on the dinning table, then she left for Beauty's company.
