“Boss” Stacey mutttered and he glared at her before placing the phone in his ear.
“Sabrina” He said.
“Boss” Sabrina mutttered.
“Does my restaurant look like a joke to you? Does it look like a Mall where you can go in and come out anytime you want huh!!” He yells at her.

“Is just a starting point mom, I won’t stop until I become the top 1” Nadine said with proudness.
“I know you can do it” Mrs McDonald said with a smile and when she looks at Nadia who was busy eating, she frowns.
“Don’t you have any shame?” Mrs McDonald asked, directing the question at Nadia.
Nadine shakes her head with a sigh, sipping her pineapple juice.
“Shame of… what?” Nadia asked.
“You emerge as the least models again Nadia, How can you happily eat when you keep failing as a model, even those whose beauty can’t be compared to yours are doing way better than you, What with the dull charisma?!!” Mrs McDonald scolds her.
“I promise to do better Mom” Nadia said calmly.
“That’s what you always say but yet you always present thesame results.
Don’t let her ruined your day Mom, you and I know she’s nothing but a looser” Nadine said and looks at Nadia irritatingly.
“And that’s why am so proud of you Nadine, your always the best in everything you do, so that’s why I have decided to change your car”.
“Really Mom?” Nadine asked excitedly.
“Yes. Is a new school year, so getting you a New car won’t hurt”.
“I love you so much Mom, your the best” Nadine said smiling and Mrs McDonald smiles caressing her cheek.
“What about me Mom?” Nadia asked and Mrs McDonald throws her a look of meaning.
“Have been using the same car since I was 16, am now 18, shouldn’t I get a new car, you got a new car for Nadine when we turned 18, but you didn’t get me any, is not up to two months and your getting her a new car again, Don’t I deserve to get one too?” Nadia asked.
“And what for Nadia?” Mrs McDonald asked and Nadine chuckles.
“Cuz am your daughter, and also Nadine’s twin, Shouldn’t we be getting equal things?”
“And what have you ever done for the family? Nothing right? All your good at, is lacking behind and bringing shame to your sister.
You can’t even climb up to the top 40th model in Chicago talk more of getting to the top, and yet you want a new car, sorry to burst your bubble Nadia, but I won’t waste my money on a failure like you” Mrs McDonald said and Nadine smiled satisfactorily.
Nadia drops her cutleries.
“I’ll just…. be in my room” Nadia said standing to her feet.
“Go ahead Nadia, that’s what your good at anyways” Nadine said. Nadia looks at her before going for her room upstairs.
“She sometimes makes me sick” Mrs McDonald said.
“And that’s why am always here for you Mom, Your serious about getting me a new car right?” Nadine asked.
“Of course I’m Nadine, am going to get you the lastest car on board first thing tomorrow”.
Nadine giggles excitedly.
“Then I can’t wait to show it off at school tomorrow, and also see Carding too” She said smiling.
“Carding… You still have a crush on him don’t you?”
“Of course I do, we practically grew up together, so is going to be weird if I don’t have a crush on him… Is no longer a crush am in love with him, You don’t have a problem with that right?”
“Of course not Nadine, his of thesame higher status with us, even if he was born from wedlock, he still have the blood of Vince Wendell, so his good to go” Mrs McDonald said and Nadine smiles.
“Then I can’t wait for him to confess his love for me, I know he loves me, he doesn’t know that yet” Nadine said smiling.
