“Lets live together! Mara said simply as if it was nothing.
Xavier and Celine looked at her at once and chorused “No you cant!!
Mara made a cross sign to her face and backed off, “Oh my, both brother and sister refusing my beautiful offer? Didn’t you say you wanted to compensate me? Then compensate me by alowing me
live with you! I don’thave a house to live anyways”she said and yanked her hair.
Celine loosed her cool, “What? You wanted a compensation then take money or property……its not as if your mother was some celebrity or rare blood that we must pay alot for, 50 dolars is okay”she bluffed
Mara was offended with the way she run her mouth, she went nearer and gave Celine a heavy slap which made all staffs surprise.
“nobody dares to touch the young madam who’s this tomboy that slapped her? Someone asked
“that serves her right, she had aways behaved as if she’s second to God, now she had messed with the wrong person”another person said.
Celine held her face and fell on her brother
“Bro! that smelly thing just slapped me”she said crying heartdly while Xavier pet her then he faced her
“are you from an asylum?Why will you slap my sister like that? You wanted some compensation must you slap her? Xavier shouted
“you should caution your sister then! she replied
“who are you to decide what to with my own sister? He asked
“Because I am Mara!! The UNBEATABLE FIGHTING GODDESS your worthless sister just talked anyhow to My mum! My mum worth millions that your silly murderer of a mum! Mara replied.
Xavier had enough of her drama, he gestured to the security….
“Drag her out! Ge ordered
“The moment I am dragged out of here I am making sure Our STYLES Fashion group lost their Erie! She retorted.
“Who are you to say that?
“Because I am Mara! She said and left but before she left… “Meet me at home… No, our house! She said and left.
After she left, Celine faced her brother “actually brother…. I..”
Xavier Interrupted her…. “Shhh….. Don’t say anything, I am enduring all these insults and tantrums because of you! And don’t add to my maternal issue! He snapped at her and left her there.

“Unbelievable! Mara you’re something… You slapped that girl? Angela asked
“I made her taste her ouw anus! That smelly thing and her brother! Uff! She scoffed.
“But what made you think of living with him? You can always live with any of us? Dawn asked
“I want to ki|| him! That bastard dares to tell me that I am smelling? He even left me in the tap overnight, tell me which man does that? Mara Explained
“Of course any other man would have R@P£D you or take advantage of your naked body, but he didn’t do that, you’re pretty much at blame Mara” Lisa answered which made everyone laughed
“Shut it! Who are you to lecture me about right and wrong? He’s more handsome than any of your numerous boyfriends” Mara said and they laughed again
“Now all I have is my Drawing book and bike, nothing else, how will I ever get clothes to wear? She asked
“That’s it, you shouldn’t have thought of living with him…. It’s dangerous, he’s a stranger after all” Charles advised
“You can as well follow me up to live with him!

“MARA!!!!! Xavier yelled as he saw the dirty clothes on his white bed. His head became heavy, his eyes became red, he’s never experienced this kind of dirty situation ever in his life. This messy lady that wants to come live with him is a case.
He packed it after wearing a glove and walked to the sitting room only to meet Mara there stilling down on his sofa relaxing and watching TV.
“Hey! Don’t you have any ounce of shame? How did you get in without my permission? He asked
“Password; Sambet! Don’t forget you told me in the morning! She retorted
“I am your landlord now you should at least respect me? He asked
“I didn’t say I won’t pay my rent? I’ll pay you by helping you in cleaning the house and cooking? How about that?, She demanded
“No I decline, what food will a dirty person like you cook? Then it’s going to be fungus and Amoeba! He reprimanded
“But I eat that amoeba and fugus and grow up to be this beautiful, ain’t you curious how the food will taste? She asked
“I am not interested…. Anyways there are rules! If you break one rule, you loose a point and of you loose five points, you’ll leave my house! He ordered
“Who are you to give me rules? She asked
“This is my house and you forced yourself to come here I don’t invite you! He shouted
“And you are supposed to compensate me, take this as compensation” She replied
“You….you…… arrghh!!! Xavier left the sitting room angrily.
“Hey where’s my room? She asked after him
“The room downstairs! He replied and shut his door.
“Arrgh…. She’s headache! She’s headache!!! Where did she come from? What sort of a barbarian is this? He mumbled.
Mara entered the room, it was the room she saw the first time she came to the house… The closet is still filled with make wears. She took it all out but none fits her Body.
“That neat jerk! What clothes is he expecting me to wear? Should I have be wearing all these big coats everyday? She said to herself and left for his room.
Xavier was working on his laptop, he was checking the latest designs that was sent to him from the HR department. The table phone rang as he was working….
“Yes….. Take care of it..,. You Can’t? Then why are you collecting salary? You’re fired! He said to the fellow on phone. Mara stood there for some minutes before walking up to him,
“You’re not only neat, you’re a workaholic*she said as she made to slump into a arm chair. But Xavier stopped her by spraying his sanitizer on the chair.
“Why did you always spray sanitizer and always cared about little thing? She asked
Xavier was Keen to his work, not looking at her he replied “I guess you didn’t come here just to say that? He asked
“Ha.. I remembered, I Came to ask you for clothes, I can’t be wearing your clothes everyday, send your brat sister to get me some clothes” she ordered.
“Why will my sister get you clothes? You can get them yourself? He replied
Mara was calm for some moments, reminiscing on what he just said. “it must be so good and fun to have a sister right? She asked with all seriousness.
“Yeah… It’s good, it’s refreshing… You get to have someone clinging to you everyday”Xavier replied Dreamily….. “How I wish I also have a sister…or probably a brother, then or maybe, I’ll have been more happier” Mara blurted.
“Don’t you have any other family members? What about those people at the hospital? He asked
“They’re my friends, my childhood friends, Lisa, Angela, Dawn, and Charles. We’ve been through alot already…”she replied.
“It’s also good to have close friends, how I wish I had too” Xavier Said with seriousness
“Don’t you have friends? Mara asked
“I don’t have friends,. It I have bussines rivals, associates and foes” He replied
“Well it’s nothing to be pitied for, your over neatness can make people stay away from you…. I am not surprised” Mara said and laughed.
“What’s wrong in being neat? I just h@ťě dirts and filthy… And you also participated in making my life miserable, can’t you just agree to live else where? I can pay for any apartment you want to live just name it” He pleaded.
“What if I decline? This is where I want to stay and that’s final and by the way what’s your name?
“Xavier….. Xavier Klein” He replied
“Serves you right…. I am Mara… Mara Kings” She said and made to leave when she saw the display on his computer screen.
“What’s that? She asked
“That’s design, the design we’re working on” He replied
Mara walked closer to take a look and find a very beautiful design on the screen as well as shabby ones, Mara take a mental note of all the designs, she smirked… “These designs are beautiful but it’s way too ordinary, this designer lacks color sense….. There’s no how colour Red and blue car match,if she had used color yellow and blue it would have made the blouse look better” She commented
“How did you know so much about Designs?
“My mum… She’s a fashion designer, and I followed her steps, the day we met I was coming to Our STYLES Fashion Designing group so that I can see their latest release” She said
“Can I see your designs? he asked
“What for?
“It might help!
“I have no intention of helping you, I am here to make your life miserable just as you and your family made mine miserable” She spat and left.
