The second floor contained beautiful and expensive looking home dresses. Different designers, perfect styles, classic look. Disha had always wanted to own a very big and popular fashion store,her dream was to become a very famous fashionista whom both rich and the poor can afford,she wants to be on the list of famous designers but the dream shattered after she lost her parents. To own her imaginable fashion store,she knows how much it's gonna cost her and she doesn't even have quarter of it. She only wants to focus on her stepmum's surgery and her brother schooling,that's all that matters to her now. The third floor contained different sort of school wears, neatly ironed and perfectly organized. "Disha, haven't you found my school bag?" Summer asked. "Could i have left it in the library" she said to herself. "I found it" Disha said, picking up the fancy school bag which had a doll ballerina on the front cover. "Ohh" Summer smiled, glad she hadn't left it in the library. Disha closed the wardrobe and walked to Summer with different thoughts running in her mind and she almost wished she was in Summer's shoes. "So, I'd love to start from arithmetics" Summer said. "Ohh... okay" Disha said, unzipping the school bag. She placed all of Summer's notebook on her bedside stool and then started searching for arithmetics. "I already called Mr Brian" Zack said to Killian who was on his way to see Sophia in the kitchen. "Ohh, fine" Killian smiled at him. Zack is his one of his best bodyguards, he has this diligent nature that Killian admire so much. "You can go have a nice time, I'll be with Sophia in the kitchen" Killian said to Zack. "Okay, Mr Killian" He said and left. * Sophia laughed hard in the kitchen after Killian sincerely told her the reason he had scared everyone in the dining room. "You shouldn't have lied to her" She finally said after her laughter subsided. "I didn't wanted to lie to her but she was questioning me and i couldn't find a better answer". "If i may ask, why do you want her in your personal dining, you've never wanted any of Summer's past nannies in your dining room". "Well...i don't know. I just wanted her there" Killian said and Sophia sighed. She's starting to see something she hadn't seen in Killian for years . "Why the sigh?" Killian asked. "There's another thing i want to discuss with you" Sophia said. "What?" Killian asked and sipped his wine. "The amount you want to be paying her is extremely high!" Sophia said. "She told you?" Killian asked. "Well...she only asked if you pay your workers close to that amount. She knows that amount is outrageous and she couldn't keep it to herself" Sophia said. "I want to help her" Killian said. "You could have sent your company to do that" Sophia said... "I..i want to help her personally" he explained further. "Really? And how did you know she needs help?" Sophia asked. "That's something i can't tell you now Sophia. Not now" Killian said. "Okay, should i pour you more wine?" Sophia asked. "No,I'll be going back to the living room now, come with me" Killian said. "I'm fine here" Sophia said. "C'mon Sophia, you stay in the kitchen all day like it's your room" Killian complained and Sophia laughed. "It's my room" Sophia said. "I wish you can just allow me employ another cook, you really need to rest after all these years. Please Sophia" Killian said. He had tried to employ more cooks but Sophia always make them leave. "Killian. I love what I'm doing and this is the only way im able repay the help you rendered me years back. Without you, i might still be in the streets struggling with my daughter but you gave us a good life" Sophia said. "Sophia, I've told you severally to stop mentioning that. You're my aunt now, you're no longer the stranger i told my parents to help. You've repaid my help enough, please let me employ another cook. I'm not comfortable with the stress you go through everyday" . "Cooking is no stress for me, i do enjoy it". "Please Sophia" Killian pleaded. "Okay, I'll think about it" Sophia said and Killian sighed, shaking his head. they both know she won't. Killian sighed " I'll be in the living room" "Aren't you going with your wine?" Sophia asked after him. "No" He answered. Killian was passing by Summer's door to his to take a nap, he already spent enough time in the living room. He stopped when his ear caught what Summer said. "So now i've told you my dream is to become the most famous ballerina in the world and also have my ballet company. What's your own dream?" Summer asked and Killian shifted closer to the door. He pressed his ear to the door when Disha finally spoke after a long silence. "My dream is to bring back my parents fashion store,to make it bigger, famous and the best in the city. I also want to become one of the best designers in the country, i want my name to appear in the designers top list but i guess some dream can never be fulfilled." Disha said. He knew. He knew her dream and how he found out is best known to him. "Why did you say that?" Summer asked. " Let's go back to your revision" Disha said. "But you've not answered my question" Summer said. "I don't want to" Disha said. "Okay" Summer drawled. Killian left the door and quietly walked to his room. "Please stay for dinner!" Summer said to Disha. It's getting late and Disha had to leave. She needs to pack and all. She hasn't even told Lucien and Mrs Smith that she'll be a live-in nanny and only come home on weekends. "Summer, she needs to leave now. You know she wasn't aware that she'll be a live-in nanny, we just told her today, she isn't prepared and she also have to be here early tomorrow morning to prepare you for school" Killian said. "Okay" Summer pouted. "Starting from tomorrow, I'll be having dinner here okay?" Disha assured Summer who nodded. "I really enjoy the time i spent with you" She said. "Me too and I'm looking forward to the days we'll be spending together but i have to leave now" Disha smiled, picking her bag. Disha bent to peck her but she suddenly remembered her rules. *No pecks! Without my permission* She quickly straightened up but what she had tried to do was obvious. "You can peck me" Summer said, surprising her. "Really?" " Yes!" Disha smiled and pecked her on both cheeks while Killian stood watching them. Is the same person that never allowed her nannies to peck her? But she allowed Disha on the first day! Their bond surprised him.
