In love with Mr Dave

Lydia pov

Someone just tapped me angrily at my back. I was busy using the washing machine to wash Jane and her son's clothes. She gave me a lot of work to do. I cleaned the house with the clothes.

"Lydia why are you still washing clothes at this time of the hour? Why didn't you come to the office today? our Boss asked of you, she said you didn't give her permission and you decided not to come to work",Veronica interrogated me instantly .

"You know that I told you that Jane said if I didn't wash all the clothes and she will flogged mercilessly and there will be no food for three weeks and you know what that means" I lamented .

Veronica is a very beautiful lady, she is my colleague in a local banking job, she just decided to check up on me, because she discovered I was absent in the office.

I didn't tell her that I will be absent, I have already planned to come to work but Jane instructed me not to wash her clothes and Damian clothes, the clothes was kept in a Big leather faded box that was hidden in one part of our sitting room, Jane loves keeping her clothes and Damian clothes for me to wash.

Since when my mom died when I was 10 years and my Dad brought another wife, I have lost my relationship with my father and Jane makes life miserable for me, always treating me anyhow, she treats me like an animal.

Veronica a Beautiful, stout, chubby with a dark blonde hair has been the one comforting me and she is a good friend of mine, there are pieces of advice that she has given to me, I do thank God that I have such a good friend, who understands me and gives good advice that always soothes my soul.

Jane has never given me rest of mind before, always giving me problems, my Dad always backed her and she turned him against me, I knew that she is a witch because she behaved like one.

"Babe," I turned my back towards her and we are looking at each other, Veronica packed her dark blonde hair with a purple bun, putting on a purple shirt and a white skirt, because that is one of the outfits we do put on during our working hours, always on cooperate wears.

She embraced me and she helped me to switch on the washing machine that I was using and I smiled at her.

"Veronica you didn't bother to knock, you just entered the house like that, how do you know that I am in the laundry place" I asked and I sat down on the chair and she sat opposite my chair.

Veronica smiles and her white teeth opened, showing satisfaction with the questions I asked her.

"Lydia I knew that you will be busy, because Jane always gives you voluminous work,I hope you are not angry that I didn't knock before entering,I am so worried about you and I don't want to know what is going with you" Veronica replied and she continues smiling and she makes herself comfortable on the brown cushion chair.

I went to get the remote for the television and I switched it on so as to watch Korean movies, because I knew that I have to entertain my friend, she loves Korean movies unlike me that likes watching cartoons and I responded to her question.

"Thanks for checking up on me, baby girl, thanks for all you do for me " I changed the channels to korean movies channels.

Lydia, "I want to gist you on what happened in the office today,do you know that one of our customers slapped our cashier" she retorted.

Where I was sitting,I was restless because I know that our cashier is a gentle, nice and hardworking lady.I,I wore an angry face when I heard it.
