And the next day it was back to school for Tony and work for me. As we left our house, in a rush so I could get him to school on time, at the gate we were met with a car parked outside. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. It was a black car similar to the one the person who was supposed to be my driver drove. I wondered what he wanted now. Then to my surprise, as Tony and I walked out the gate, both driver and passenger doors opened and two men came out.
They weren't my driver. As I looked at each of their faces, I recognized them to be Keith's men. They were some of his lackey's he would order and send out to do things for him.
In my past life, they had been the ones send messages on Keith's behalf. They were the ones
"Sorry, what's this about?" I asked them. In my past life around this time I don't think I'd encountered them though.
"The chairman would like to see you this morning in his office," one of the men informed me.
My eyes widened in shock. That's a statement I never thought I would hear. Keith had NEVER asked to see me. His lackey's had never taken me to see him either.
"Why?" I asked them.
"We were not told a reason only that he would like to see you," one of them answered.
"I have to take my son to school," I told them.
"We will drop him off and then take you to see the chairman," they told me.
Whatever Keith wanted to see me for, it couldn't have been good. After I was kicked out of the house, I only ever saw him a handful of times and all those times weren't from him initiating the meeting. Even when he divorced me, I didn't see him. He would people to speak on his behalf and hand me the papers. So, for him to just out of the blue to want to see me when that never happened in the past was terrifying to me. I felt I was in trouble with him. Had Diana accused me of something?
"I'll be late for work I can't see him," I informed Keith's lackey's. "Tell him to send me an email or to relay his message to you two." I was happy to have a valid excuse because I did not want to see Keith.
The two men looked at each other dumbfounded by my response. I then turned away with Tony. "Come on we don't want to be late," I told Tony.
"How odd, I thought she would be excited to see the Chairman considering how obsessed she was with seeing him,"
"Exactly, but I heard she hasn't tried to see the chairman in the last two weeks,"
"Really?"
"You think she's finally given up?"
"I wonder."
I heard them talk about me as Tony and I walked away. I didn't really care though.
I dropped off Tony at school and went straight to work. Throughout the day I couldn't stop thinking about Keith and the reason behind him wanting to see him. I wondered what the follow up would be. Why did he want to see me? What could
When my shift ended at 4pm I left and went to pick up Tony. Upon arriving at his school I waited outside his was met with usual stares I got everyday but I was completely used to them now.
Among the dozens of Tony came to me and I gave him a big hug. We then made our way to leave when we were met with a car that It was my supposed to be driver. He waved his arm at us. I went toward him in confusion.
"What brings
"I've come to drive you back home," he told me
"Why?" I asked
"As your driver it's my job to drive you around,"
"Oh, shut it!" I rolled my eyes at his script of a response. He wasn't going to tell me to me anything as per Diana's orders. It was obvious Diana was behind this, but why?
It wasn't a good sign if she was sending a car for me. It's either she was playing a prank on me and if Tony and I got in the car he would drive to a desert and leave us stranded or something. Or perhaps her prank awaited me at home.
Is it because I'd stopped coming to try see Keith? That I wasn't humiliating myself anymore? Diana did love to see me suffer so maybe she had planned something. I wasn't in the mood for Diana's shenanigans', not that I would never be in the mood. Nonetheless, if she had something planned at home I would have to face it.
"We're not going home with you," I told the driver and backed away from him. Tony and I went home the way we usually did with public transport.
Upon arriving home Tony and I saw four fancy sedans parked by the road near our gate.
"Who's home mum?" Tony asked me with the same look of disbelief in his eyes.
"I don't know," I commented. So had Diana had actually come? I thought to myself.
I had tony and I go towards the door. If Diana was here to confront me I would face her head on.
In my past life I had become afraid of Diana because any confrontation would lead to Keith hating me and pushing him further away from me. However, now I didn't care anymore. Upon opening the door, I was met with a sight that had me in disbelief.
Suddenly women came toward Tony and I. "Good evening, ma'am," they said to me. They were dressed in maids uniforms. They took the bags that Tony and I were holding.
I was too stunned to speak a I watched them walk away from us with our things.
"The servants are back mum?" Tony asked me in confusion.
