Chapter 95 - Mother Has A Plan
Meanwhile, in the Green residence, Rachel had woken up in her room and glanced at her phone. It was the afternoon and she sat up slowly and put on her dressing gown. Last night she had caught April coming out of Martin's study and she had to investigate further, was that stupid girl on to her?
She had realised that April's personality had started to change, it happened all too soon. If she had known the stupid girl was getting smarter she wouldn't have allowed her to leave home so quickly. She should have kept a closer eye on her.
Martin had stayed in his study from April had left so she had no time to check the tablets that she had been giving him. Rachel took out her key and tried it in the lock but the handle turned and the door didn't open, she tried again and soon realised her key didn't work. When had Martin changed the lock? Even more troubling was that April had a key to enter and she didn't.
She felt indignant and she furiously stomped off to find Tom. Seeing Tom downstairs she guldered down to him, "I need the key to martins study, quickly bring me your set."
Tom halted what he was doing and internally sighed before walking up the stairs towards Rachel. She could shout down to him but it wouldn't be acceptable if he responded by shouting back at her. Standing at the top of the stairs he politely bowed and answered, "I am sorry, I do not have the key. Mr Green said that he would clean the study himself."
"Since when?" Rachel asked, she was livid that she would not have access to Martins study and his medicine from now on. She had to get into his study again and see what was going on.
"Mr Green informed me last night," Tom responded truthfully. He left out that he did indeed have a key but Martin had told him to keep it separately from his house keys.
"Useless!" Rachel shouted and stomped off past Tom in her dressing gown and down the hallway towards her daughter's room. She didn't knock instead she walked in straight past her daughter's bed and flung open the curtains.
Lucy curled up on the bed and threw the duvet over her head as she tried to ignore her mother's obvious mood. She had just got home four hours ago and now her bad tempered mother was stomping about in her room.
She felt her mother sit on her bed and then shake her, she huffed and threw back the bed covers, "It's so early what do you want?"
"Excuse me!?Do not speak to me with that tone I am your mother. Do you know how much I have given up in life for you to live comfortably?" Rachel responded to her daughter.
Lucy had barely opened her eyes when her mother had already started to lecture her and she didn't want to listen to it either. She had heard the same speech for years. But she held back and answered, "Sorry mother. I am just waking and was confused."
Rachel looked away from her daughter and crossed her arms, she wasn't happy with the lack of respect she was getting recently from Martin and now Lucy.
Lucy really didn't want to deal with her mother right now, all she wanted to do was sleep. After not trapping April with Director Compton she had gone to a popular bar, which had a few high up businessmen and some minor celebrities. She had danced and drank too much with a few new acquaintances but none where suitable to make connections with. The closest she could get to Dean Davis was Director Compton and he turned out to be useless.
Not only did he never introduce her to Dean Davis, he had never even spoken with him either. She had wasted her time and had had to satisfy him in bed, the thought alone disgusted her. She had to think of a new plan. But she had no idea where to start.
Seeing her daughter blankly stare into space Rachel slapped her arm and shouted, "Can you pay attention to your mother and stop spacing out!"
"Oww, mother take it easy I was just thinking of a plan." Lucy rubbed the arm her mother had just hit.
Rachel rolled her eyes and answered her daughter, "Plan, do you not read the text messages your mother sends you?" Sighing she continued to accuse her daughter "You didn't answer your phone to me yesterday either."
"I was busy mother, I had to make friends." Lucy was sick of being lectured.
"Well if you had answered the phone and come home as I asked you would have met Dean Davis." Rachel fixed her hair as she continued her story.
"Dean Davis? Mother, why would he be in this dingy home?" Lucy laughed at her mother.
"Dingy home? Do you know the years I have sacrificed and the things I have done for you to live so well?" Rachel was again insulted by her daughter.
"I am sorry mother, I didn't mean it that way. But Dean Davis… here no way." She didn't think her mother's life was that great to brag about in the first place but she had to placate her.
Rachel finally getting her daughters attention decided she would fill her in on last night's events. "He was and not only that he was with that stupid b*tch April. Just like her mother she has landed a CEO and is set for life. I even tried to separate their linked hands and he was having none of it. He seems smitten."
"That B*tch!" Lucy screamed and she lifted a nearby lamp and threw it against the wall. The crash was loud and the glass shards dispelled around the bedroom.
Used to Lucy's tantrums Rachel didn't flinch instead she responded calmly "Don't worry unlike Kathleen April will not marry her CEO. You will be his wife and not her." Rachel smiled smugly. "Mother has a plan!"
