This Is Not Gloria
In the meanwhile, Angela dressed herself up and set off.
She had tried to think about an appropriate way of greeting the old lady last night And she kept
rerunning her speech on the way for fear that she would mess it up.
However…
After her arrival at the Collins residence, she didn’t see the old lady anywhere. She was confused.
‘Is Granny Karen not home, Mr. Wilson?” she asked the Butler.
“I’m afraid not,” he shook his head.
“Where has she gone? It’s still so early!” Angela was a bit surprised.
“Young Mr Collins came early this morning. They’re now on the way to Temple Lucius with Miss Gloria
White.”
“Temple Lucius?’ Angela was dumbfounded Why would they go to that place all of a sudden?
Besides!
What would Jordy have come to pick Karen? Why would that bitch Gloria have gone with them?
The Butler nodded without a word.
Angela took a deep breath and tried 10 calm herself down, “Then…when do you think they would be
back?” she looked at the Butler with a smile.
“That…I don’t know, I’m sorry.”
Angela held the bag and gift in her hands tight. She had selected a special gift on purpose in order to
make the old lady happy, because of what had happened yesterday. She had not gained the full
support of the Collins now. What she should do now was to get it from Kaien first.
If she accepted her, soon would Jordy’s father do too.
ooni
The thing was, if Karen was still in good daily contact with Gloria, her acceptance from Karen would
just be impossible!
Damn!
Angela was extremely irritated, but there seemed to be nothing else she could say now. Thank you.”
Just as she was thinking about what to do next, there came steps from upstairs. Angela looked up and
saw Olivia coming down. She instantly found it an opportunity, and opened her mouth in an aggrieved
voice, “Mrs. Collins…”
She said nothing but that, and Olivia was a smart woman.
“Poor child, I’m sorry.” Olivia sighed,
“No, Mis Collins. Don’t feel sorry for me.” Angela shook her head hurriedly, I’m just here to visit Granny
today I didn’t expect her to have plans”
“It was Gloria!” anger crossed Olivia’s eyes
Angela opened her mouth, pretending to say something for Gloria, but was stopped by Olivia’s grim
voice, “You don’t need to look for an excuse for her Follow me to my room Your mom called yesterday.
There’s something we need to talk through,
Something flickered in Angela’s eyes but still, she nodded her head, “as you wish, Mrs. Collins.”
Olivia gave her a satisfied nodded and went upstairs with her.
Having made sure they were upstairs, the Butler pulled out his phone and texted a message after a
second thought
Dale Wilson (Mr. Jordy, Miss White is here. Mrs. White called last now and they’re discussing
something)
Meanwhile, Jordy arrived at the Temple Lucius. He got off the car and received the message
Jordy put his phone away and took the two of them into the temple.
The Abbot had known their second visit and sent someone waiting on them. The little monk came up
as soon as he saw them and put his palm before his chest with his thumb slightly bent. ‘Namaste. The
Abbot has been waiting for you Please follow me
The old lady was elated ‘We’re sorry for the trouble. After you,’ she nodded in appreciation.
