5 Jennifer Matori
"I admit it was her fault for running into incoming traffic but she also can't be blamed, she is old but you a young man with clearly good eyesight had to run in a place like this" Annabelle continued her criticism. "Well, clearly I bought the sports car for her speed, Why should I slow down while driving it?" Lester countered back. He was not even sure why he was bickering with this annoying girl.
"Okay! If you are not interested in the cheque, do you want the car or..." Lester continued but was cut off by Annabelle "How about you find yourself some brains then, clearly if you think you are so appealing that anyone would drop down on their knees for your stinking money. Then probably you were not raised right" She finished her piece and walked back to the Grandmother and grandchild.
Although, she regretted her actions and words she felt satisfied seeing his smirk turn to a scowl. She would have continued but she didn't want to make a scene after seeing that a crowd was gathering. "Auntie, thank you very much for helping my grandma. I don't know what would have happened if you had not been here. I don't have any parents left and I don't want to lose my only family" The little girl said with tears in her eyes.
"It is alright dear, just be sure to take of her better in the future and make her proud of you. Here, take this and buy you and your grandma some dinner" she said as she handed all the money in her wallet to the grandmother and granddaughter pair. Sigh, 'there goes my allowance for the week' Even though she was unwilling to part with the last of her cash, she knew if the duo were rich enough such accident would not have happened.
"I am sorry I tore the check that jerk gave me, grandma," she said scratching her head and looking slightly embarrassed. She did not know what had gotten into her she hardly gets angry at people but when it came to that annoying fellow all she wanted to do was beating him. Speaking of, if not because he was uncultured he is rather handsome. Annabelle looked down when she noticed a small tug at the hem of her dress. "Auntie, what is the problem?"
"It is nothing sweetheart, how about we get granny home?" she replied with a smile to the little girl. "humph who is your granny, if not for the clothes I am wearing and the lack of makeup, I would look like Jennifer Matori" the grandma spoke this time around. Annabelle was shocked and looked at the old woman in disbelief "Wait, what is happening right now? Earlier why didn't you say anything?" she asked the grandma.
The grandma looked at her and gave a sly smile "Sister, you didn't actually think I was going to die right now, did you?" 'Oh my God, who is your sister?' Annabelle turned to the granddaughter for an explanation, when she saw the old woman bend down to pick a shining substance from the road with impressive flexibility.
Annabelle stared mouth agape at the old woman who was clearly okay despite the incident earlier, she had even forgotten she offended a rich man for this clown. Her eyebrows twitched as she looked from grandmother to granddaughter. The little girl facepalmed in shame, shaking her head like a disappointed chick.
"Sister" the old woman continued "You are too stiff, even if I wasn't planning on dying before, you trying to help me could have killed me" "Sorry, I... " "You don't have to apologize since you were only trying to help me, I forgive you" the old woman interrupted Annabelle. "I was not trying to apologize, I saved your life for yo... Ouch!" she exclaimed before she could finish her sentence "Why did you hit me?" she asked rubbing her sore shoulder "You cannot even save yourself, how dare you talk about saving someone else and by the way you should not talk to your elder like that" The old woman tapped her cane on the floor with a proud expression. She wanted to see how the girl would behave or rather act before after 'her accident' that was why she decided to play mute and she was even more impressed when she saw her actions of tearing up the cheque earlier but her tongue was too sharp in insulting the young man.
She already took a liking to her, because even the people who were near her when she walked into the traffic did not bother helping. They all thought she wanted to kill herself but the truth was: she had lost ring her daughter and giving to her as a keepsake for when the little girl grew older. Rich people always got on her nerves anyway and she was planning on looking for trouble with one. That was why although she had found the ring earlier she walked into the traffic earlier, she was going to use her signature move as a stunt artist.
She looked back to see Annabelle still rubbing her shoulder where she had hit with her walking cane earlier and felt bad for her. 'Maybe I hit her too hard now' When she noticed Annabelle looking at her with a teary expression she shouted at her to cover her guilt " Are you not coming? How am I going to carry the things we will buy with the money you gave to us? If you can not even finish a project from the start then why start it?" "Grandma!!!!" the little girl looked on as her grandma unabashedly insulted their savior.
"What! I am too old to carry anything anyway and your hands are too tiny" the grandma gave a side eye to the little girl as if daring her to speak again. 'I thought you were a sister not too long ago, now you are old' Annabelle grumbled.
The old woman led the two to a shabby looking house after their little trip to the market, making sure Annabelle carried all the groceries. By the time they got to the old woman's place, her stomach had started rumbling. The old woman smiled seeing this but put on an annoyed expression "What are you still doing here? Do you want to finish our food now because you gave us a little money? I have no idea why you would tear that cheque the young man gave us just now at least it was blank meaning we can try to such him dry, but you just had to ruin it, didn't you?"
Annabelle stared at the old woman in shock, she bade farewell and prepared to leave when the old woman called her back and told her to prepare food for her before leaving. when Annabelle was finally leaving, the old woman packaged some food with the excuse of 'She was too thin" and made sure she promised to always come to visit.
"Okay! If you are not interested in the cheque, do you want the car or..." Lester continued but was cut off by Annabelle "How about you find yourself some brains then, clearly if you think you are so appealing that anyone would drop down on their knees for your stinking money.
