She seemed happy to see me. ‘’You are back,’’ she sajid, kissing my cheeks. ‘’It hasn’t really been the same without you.’’I smiled. She was looking radiant. ‘’I just arrived a few minutes ago. How’s my brother?’’‘’Crying and eating a lot.’’ she laughed. ‘’I was told you laid off all the staff,’’ I said, trying to keep my voice from sounding challenging. ‘’What happened?’’‘’One of them stole my necklace, and the others are covering for it.’’ She walked to the cot and looked at her baby. ‘’Or it was a joint theft.’’I didn’t see why that necessitated firing the whole staff. She could have just fired those who had access to her room. Sending hundreds of people out there with information on our family was dangerous. And I expected her to know better.

He looked a little bit younger but still grumpy. ‘’You should have told me,’’ he said.I sighed. Sometimes I wondered why I'd ever allowed myself to go into an affair with someone like Mikel. I had not much to gain from him. Yet he was still nosy and uncontrollable. Unlike Sylvester.‘’Mikel,’’ I said, walking to the foot of my bed. ‘’Like I said earlier, you don’t understand boundaries. I could get rid of you as easily as the other staff that were fired. Count yourself lucky that you’re still here right now.’’
