Chapter 56

Ariana longed for the day where she woke up without any problems. She had to come to work late because of this. The water pipe of the house had broken after the heavy rain last night. Their was one way water could come up. They had to find a plumber early this morning by six.

"I have a friend that would come to our aid this morning," one of the neighbors from the other side said. "Honey get me my phone," He told his wide from the inside and she handed him his phone.

"Hello and Good morning to you mister Sherman, we have a situation this morning." He said.

"Yes yes it has happened again, we need your help," The irony something like this had already happened before. It was definitely when Ariana had not moved in.

"Ok thank please we also have people that are living for work early this morning," He said before he caught the call.

"He said he would be here in five give him some time to pack his kits," He reassured them as some of the neighborhoods stood beside him. The middle age man retreated to his abode and the others mimicked his acts and went back inside theirs houses.

Sofia stood by the door of her house as she thought of how she was going to inform her boss that she was going to be kate today. She was definitely going to cut it from her salary this time. She managed to escape last time but this time it was gong to be harder.

She went back inside the house to her before she started screaming her name. Lisa was going to try to cover up and they might end uo losing their jobs both. She still also hand to get on her good side so she would be able to apply for the work loan. So she could send her dad some money for his treatment.

That was also one of the things that didnt make her sleep last night the fact that she hadn't slept well was also affecting her eyes.

Ariana sighed as she went ahead to grab her phone to calm her boss. The thing she would definitely win this month was award foe the latest employee of the month. It was impossible for her to win employee if the month. The inky time she won it was when she was still a newbie here at brentwood industries. But now her responsibilities were the size of an elephant's head.

If there was one thing she knew she stupidly wished for as a kid was happiness. Happiness only lasted when you are still a kid. The moment your childhood was over everything became difficult and hard.

"Good morning miss Alice," Ariana greeted.

"Good morning Ariana, why are you calling me at this hour do i perhaps owe you anything?" She asked already pissed.

"Im sorry miss Alice, I actually just wanted to tell you that i would be late for work a situation popped up here at work i might not make it in time" Ariana said getting straight to the point.

"I don't care just get your ass to work when you are done" Alice said before the line went dead.

Ariana had the worst boss she could ever request for and she didn't have any other option apart from her and Ethan and Sofia manged to convince that it would be good.

Ariana wryly made herself breakfast. That was the only things he could do since she had to wait for the plumber to arrive. After a while fir the first time in months she found hood use to the storage if food that she had in the cupboard and fridges. She made something easy and fast. She made herself some pancakes with freshly pressed fruits.

The doctor had recommended she took a lot of fruits and avoided alcohol. They said she lacked a lot of vitamins. She also took some supplements. If she didn't listen to the doctor's advice then it would have led her to greater sickness or malnutrition. Because she rarely even eat normal fruits. She had made an effort to eat at least salads. But still all that wasn't enough. It was after she had slept and woken up for almost two hours that the plumber decided to visit them finally. Yet the man had claimed he would have been there in five minutes.

The man was also in is late fifties. He apologized for the delay before he started his work. It took him another hour before he manged to fix it up. Ariana immediately rushed to the toilet to take her bath.

She also finished in just matters of seconds. Today she didn't have to bother about making cereal because she had already eaten a proper breakfast.

She dressed up properly, beacsue dressing was a turn off whenever she wanted to speak to Alice. She still complained when she iver dressed and she still complained when she didnt dress well. But dressing properly was adequate. So she didn't complain.

Ariana grabbed her bag from the table. She was supposed to rush to work but suddenly she didn't even feel the need to run. Despite the fact that she was late. It was as if something was wrong but it wasn't. At a point she felt the urge to call in sick but she already called Alice this morning.

Ariana stood in front of the building, she wanted to move but everything in her body felt weakened. It looked strange all of a sudden. Almost as if she didn't even work here.

"It is just the stress getting to me I'm fine," Ariana prepped talked herself.

She wryly walked inside the building, She greeted the workers that passed by.

She walked to the her office. Lisa smiled at her.

"Hey," Lisa greeted. "You look like they just pucked you out of a Anaconda's belly and your eyes also." Lisa commented as she raked her eyes up and down Ariana's body.

" i want to crawl in its belly and sleep for one week straight. I'll see what Alice has for me." She said before she walked to her office.

Ariana knocked on the door, but she remembered Alice telling her come inside without knocking. She opened the door and walked into the office.

Then she met the two witches themselves in person, Alice and Sofia. Her day just got bitter.
