Grace The House girl - S02 E18

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 18

The atmosphere was light and joyous as the wives and daughters recounted their vacation to the delight of everyone at the table. 

The boys had joined the table late apologizing profusely for taking too long to get down for dinner but Chief wasn’t angry, he was happy enough to have his wives and daughters back home; he even made a joke about his son acting like daughters that took too long to get ready. 

Grace found everything mind-blowing especially the stories they told of all the places they visited and all the ways they spent chief’s money. She marveled at older daughters and how smoothly English rolled off their tongues like the people in movies, she quietly wished she could spend a lot of time with them and hopefully learn how to speak so fluently and effortlessly. 

Grace imagined what being friends with them would be like; they would gossip and laugh at insides jokes, go shopping in all the exotic shops they mentioned and flaunt their iPhones and money everywhere they went. 

Her attention was pulled out of her little fantasy when she heard her name being mentioned.

“Umm I agree with Ify, it’s quite delicious” the fair daughter said

“But she doesn’t look familiar though” she added

“Yes, she’s a new addition to the kitchen staff,” Ms. Janet said promptly

“Ohh I wasn’t aware of this, when did you hire her” the dark-skinned wife that Grace assumed was Buchi’s mother asked

“I didn’t ma, Chief did” Ms. Janet answered

Grace felt eyes on her making her feel uneasy before they turned to Chief

“Daddy I didn’t know you concerned yourself with hiring staff,” she asked

“I don’t, but after I tasted her cooking when I visited my brother, David, I just couldn’t help but hire her,” Chief said

“Well, that makes sense she’s quite talented” the fair wife chipped in

“Thank you ma,” Grace said bending down slightly

The eyes that bore into her made her uneasy, if the ground opened at that moment she’ll jump in through the cracks. The wives and daughters looked her over, she felt like she was naked like their eyes could see through her

“Welcome to the family” Vincent’s mum added making Grace relax a little

“Thank you, ma” Grace answered bending down slightly

“I’m sure Ms. Janet has gone through the rules and everything you’ll need” she added

“Yes ma,” Grace answered

And with that they continued eating and chatting between themselves, Grace still felt eyes on her but when she looked up slightly they were no one looking in her direction. She figured one of the boys was staring and tried not to let a wide smile stretch out on her face.
