Norman kept staring at Mandy without saying a word, he held onto his knees close to his face with his hands wrapped up on them. He was shaking his head while murmuring some words which was hard to hear. Mandy looked up at Norman's father. "Why is he this way? Sha asked, quietly. "The doctor said he was going through mental stress, and that could make him withdrawn, but he hasn't been this way until you both arrived. Give him some time, he may come around" his father replied.Bosey felt Norman was reminded of Mandy's mother just by seeing her, so he decided to try to talk to Norman himself. "Let me talk to him, Mandy" Bosey said while touching Mandy's shoulder. Mandy nodded and stepped back to allow Bosey move closer to Norman. "Do you recognise me Norman?" Bosey asked..Norman raised his head slowly.He smiled when Bosey spoke. "Ofcourse | recognise you, Bosey. Why won't | recognise you" he replied. "That is good, Norman. Norman can you please tell me who Jenny Lynn is? | w
"What do you mean | am not fit to be called a mother, Mandy?"her mother asked, confusedMandy turned away from her. She didn't want to look at her face, because she felt disgusted."| don't want to talk about it, just leave me alone!" she yelled. Bosey was at the door, watching them but didn't as much as say a word. Mandy heard a sound, and turned to see Bosey standing at the door. "Please come in and have a seat, Bosey" Mandy said. "It's okay Mandy, you can continue your discussion with your mother, | will be here waiting for you" Mandy's mother kept staring at Bosey, hoping he would leave them to have their discussion, but he didn't move. "Mandy, can you tell this man here to leave so we can have our discussion properly? | am not comfortable with him watching us like that" she said, pointing to Bosey, disrespectfully."Bosey is going no where, Jenny Lynn. If there is anyone who should leave, it should be you" Her mother became embarrassed. Her face turned red. If only Bos
Mandy became embarrassed. She could not take her mother insulting her guest in front of her, so she hushed her immediately. "Stop it right now! | won't condone such behaviour from you anymore!" Mandy yelled at her mother. "So you insult me, because of these people , right Mandy?" she said, pointing to Bosey and his mother. Mandy rolled her eyes at her. "| am not insulting you, Jenny Lynn. | am only stating facts. Do not insult my guest, period" Bosey's mother was watching them uncomfortably. She didn't know what to do in a situation like this, but Bosey kept smiling at her all through. He didn't want her to think there was something wrong. He was covering for Mandy and her mother, in the presence of his mother. Mandy's mother didn't stop, she continued."Facts or not Mandy, you are insulting me by talking to me in that manner, and also calling me by my name? | think it's time you stopped that" Mandy scoffed at her. “| say when to stop calling you by your name, Jenny Lynn. Whi
Mandy registered the shock on her aunt's face. "Yes aunty, Frank still works here, and he is now the vice president of the farm. After father passed away, Frank totally changed to a beast out to devour the farm, and in the process makes my life a living hell" "| can't believe Frank is doing all of this, after what your father did for him?" Clara said. "Yes aunty, Frank feels he is now entitled to father's properties. One time he threatened to take everything from me, but he didn't know | was going to be a hard nut to crack. He thought I was the naive Mandy he knows, but I proved him wrong. | couldn't let all father worked hard for, to go to Frank . We are still in the process of gathering evidence against him after which | will get him arrested. The evidence we have at hand cannot do much to take him down, so we are taking our time" Mandy said. "You mean you have been going through all of this and didn't bother to call me?" Clara asked, with a sad face. “| am sorry | couldn't
Mandy was sure she heard Frank say, her mother should be careful to not let her know about the circumstances surrounding her birth. She hid properly and had to go closer than she was. She heard them speaking again. Mandy had to hold her breath."Ofcourse | can't let her find out about her birth, she might throw me out completely when she finds out " her mother said. “We can't let that happen now can we?" Frank replied. “But | feel so bad about this. Mandy is such a good girl, she has her father's heart and | will be hurting her again if | keep hiding this secret" "Jenny Lynn, stop that nonsense. Don't act like you care about her" "| do care about Mandy, Frank" Frank scoffed. "You care about her? Yet you made me get people who kidnapped her horse? And now you are also trying to kill Norman, for disobeying you. You knew that horse is like family to Mandy, don't play yourself Jenny Lynn. You don't care about anyone but yourself” He said. "Do you have to spell it out like tha
"What!! They are demanding my removal? And you didn't think to tell me earlier?" Mandy asked, sounding irritated. “l am sorry, Mandy. | had to ask if you slept well or ..........."She cut him off. "But that’s not more important than the shareholders, Bosey" She said, and regretted immediately. She touched her brow, closing her eyes. "l am sorry | said that. I have been on edge this morning, | should go" Mandy said.She got dressed, and headed to her office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mandy got to her office to see some shareholders seated at the waiting area. She could read the room and it wasn't looking good. She saw Mr Larry seated with them. She looked at him but he moved his face away from her direction. She stood before the shareholders, and addressed them. "Gentlemen, how | help you?" She asked them, but they all ignored her. Mandy took a deep breath.“| can't help you if you don't say anything, | am not a magician who can read minds. If any of you could just tell me w
Mandy was furious. She covered herself with her shirt, while Bosey did the same. She stood up and charged at her mother. "Mother! How many times have | told you to knock! then you wait for the person to open the door, or ask you to come in before you do. This is an invasion of my privacy!" Mandy yelled at her mother, while she and Bosey were trying to cover themselves with their shirts. "Please, can you step outside for us to get dressed! Mandy continued, with her mother still standing and watching them. "You should get dressed if you want to get dressed, Mandy" her mother replied, without moving. Mandy's eyes widened with shock.."| don't want to repeat myself, mother. Wait outside!! And don't come in until | tell you to do so!" Mandy Continued..Her mother rolled her, and shook her head at Bosey. "Whatever, I'll be waiting outside for just two minutes and | am coming right back in" she said, before walking out the door. Mandy and Bosey quickly dressed up, and were standing w
"What if your mother finds out about this? what if she finds out about me, visiting your aunt. I think she might feel betrayed or something" Bosey asked. "Oh don't say that, Bosey. Jenny Lynn has no say over my life whatsoever. If there is anyone who does, it should be aunt Clara and she likes you, that should be enough, okay? Bosey nodded. "Fine, if you say so. But she is your mother and......" "My birth mother yes, but she has never been a mom to me, there is a clear difference. Let's not have this discussion now, let's just go with the fact that aunt Clara likes you. Don't let Jenny Lynn's behaviour get to you, | will do same also. | dont want her to think she has so much power over our relationship.. Just relax, my love" "Okay baby, | will do as you say" "You better" Mandy replied. “Can't you come with me tonight?" Bosey asked. Mandy almost screamed..She was teasing him, when she asked to come him in a sexy voice. Now she was all serious. "What! No! I was only teasing yo
