The Chatters of Diamonds

CHAPTER (18) A lead ?

An Elderly woman was about walk out of the mansion but she stops on her track as soon as she saw me.

" Young Heiress is that you ?" She asked walking towards me.

" Yes. Good Evening...."

She shakes her head in disagreement and bows." No I should be one the greeting You, young heiress".

For some reason, my nickname sound less , very less convenient coming from her.

" Please don't address me as young Heiress and allow me to greet you whenever I want. You look older than my grandmother. It is only fair that you get the respect you deserve, even from me" I said to her with a smile.

She looks at me and her eyes begins to water. " You are even more nicer than your mother " Tears roll down her eyes.

I was touched and every ounce of anxiety and fear I had in me washed away.

I didn't know what got into me but what I did next surprised not just her but me as well.

Walking slow to her I wiped her tears and she hugged me.

I was about to pull away from her hug when she pulled me again for another round.

" Meet me later on , probably tomorrow I would love to have a lovely conversation with you over tea" she says out loud.

Before whispering in my  ear. " I would like to tell you a few things"
She let go of me and begins to walk away.

" Meet me in Marian's Garden at 9"
She walks out of my mansion

I was not only confused but in awe , what did she want to talk about?
And who was she ?

" Young heiress ?" Jessica said knocking me out of my thoughts.

" Hmmmmm" I said looking as she walks into the living room

" May I ask you a valuable question?" She said with a low and calm voice while bowing.

" Yes of course" I later on regretted saying that because the  smile on her face immediately changed into a frown.

" What in the world are you going in Nigeria?, Don't you know how important your safety is?, Ahhhhhhhh! " She shouted to the extent that veins popped up on her head.

" Why are you like this ? ,The other day you left the mansion without your bodyguard" she says as her eyes twitches. " Do you know how WORRIED we were" She screams even louder. " If anything had happened to you, we would have been roasted chickens, most importantly your life.... Ahhhhhhhh!" she shouted

" Breath in.......Breath out....Breath in...
Breath out" She says inhaling and Exhale.

Few seconds later

She smiles at me and said nicely. " You must be tired go refreshing up and come down for dinner. Young heiress"

I walked slowly complying to her  instructions. 'and I thought I was scary , nope she isn't just scary but violent as well"

***OUTSIDE THE MANSION

" I thought you warned Jessica not to interfere?. " Bethel said to Elder Eve.

" I did " Elder Eve replied.

" Then why are you interfering. Eve?"

" Show some respect for your grandmother" Elder Eve replied smacking bethel.

" Ahhhhhh" Bethel pouts rubbing her head.

" She is such a nice girl......"

Bethel cuts in. " She looks naive "

Elder Eve laughs out loud.

" Bethel how many times do I have to tell you. Looks deceive , you can't just look at someone's face and guess their character you will be damned wrong.
She might look alot like her mother but I could tell she is nothing like her mother. I heard she and her personal bodyguard singlehandedly found Slivia's killers and gave them the beaten of their life before handing them to the police. You call that type of girl Navie?"

" If she is so smart then why are you getting involved....." Bethel says paranoid.

" Am not getting involved. Am just going to give her a lead" Elder Eve says.

" Really now ...... You think that will help? Just a lead. "

" Of course am not going to say much after all I don't know but the little I know is nothing but a lead and that is all she needs to get to the bottom of it all...................."
