Camilla,are you OK?". Granny asked with a furrowed brow noticing the strong grip by her wrist. The question attracted others attention whose gaze was now fixed on Camilla.

Clara ran to her friend on seeing her that way. "Camilla,what's wrong? Are you OK?". She asked looking worried and touching her friend.

"Uhmm. Yeah. I'm fine." Camilla choked out trying to get a grip of herself and letting go of Granny's hand.

"Are you sure?". Clara asked again.

"Yeah. I'm OK. I guess the sunny day got me feeling this way when i got inside here." Camilla replied forcing a smile.

"Maybe you should take a glass of water so you could feel better?". Granny suggested.

"She already said she's fine. Stop pushing it already and let's give our guest our attention." Mr Robert said with a voice that demands one to obey instantly.

"Honey,Camilla here is also my guest that needs attention." Clara retorted glaring at her husband and to Raymond.

"Mother,you know now is not the time for this. You're free to take your guest to somewhere else and have a good conversation with her if you don't wish to be with us here. Am I right,Dad?". Ray asked glancing at his Dad.

"Of course yes. After all she didn't inform us about it. So she's free to have her guest to herself." Robert replied.

Clara gasp in disbelief. She opened her mouth and shut it again not knowing what to say.

Jasmine on her part was still standing there watching the drama going on in front of her.

"I think I should leave now. Actually, I didn't know you guys would be having lunch with a guest today. I'm sorry for intruding. I'll take my leave." Camilla said after the awkward silence that filled the room. To her its better to leave than to be here right now. She don't feel like being here anymore, her mind wasn't here anymore, she was getting nervous and the more she stays the more it'll be noticed.

She made a bow and was about to leave when Clara held her wrist.
"You're not going anywhere. You can join us for lunch. Right, Honey?". She asked glancing at her husband.

Mr Robert Robert furrowed his brow staring from his wife to Raymond. He thought of a good response to give that wouldn't flare both parties up(wife and son).

"I think I should leave instead". A feminine voice in the room said and everyone in the room quickly turn gaze to see who it was. Jasmine was the one that just said that.

Ray rushed to where she was standing and stared at her. "What do you mean by that?". He asked with a scowl.

She opened her mouth to speak and shut it back. His stare was becoming intense making Jasmine to be nervous. She opened her mouth to speak but she shut it again.

"Enough with the drama ladies, let's just all get a sit and have lunch together." Robert finally said breaking the tensed atmosphere.

"Fair enough, judge." Clara replied with a winning smirk. But her attention returned to Jasmine, she stared at her again. 'She looks familiar, I think I've seen her somewhere. Where's that?'. She thought inwardly.

"For the last time can we all take a seat at the dinning room and have lunch, please." Robert said again noticing they were still standing there not making a move.

Ray gave a nod to his father and took Jasmine hand to his clasping it together. "I'm glad you came. You look gorgeous,my sweetness." He said with a smile flashing his left dimple and kissed her hand before leading her to the dinning room.

"Thanks." Jasmine replied with a blushed cheek walking hand in hand with Ray to the dinning.

Clara and Camilla stared at this two in awe before following them behind.

The six of them were all seated having lunch. Everyone seems to be eating but Camilla was the only one picking at her food. Rice and stew with salads and chicken laps was served as their lunch on each person's plate by granny Joyce.

"Camilla dear,you've been picking on your food,is anything the matter?". Clara asked pausing from her own food.

"Uh. No. I'm eating now." Camilla replied flashing a smile before she started eating.

"Jasmine is your name right?". Clara asked turning her attention to Jasmine.

Jasmine looked up and paused from eating the spoon of rice she was having on her hand and had eyes contact with Clara. "Yes,ma." She answered.

"OK. Your face looks familiar, have we met before?". Clara asked again.

"Uhmm. Yes. At my dad's house". Jasmine replied.

"Your dad's house? Who is your dad?". Clara asked trying to see if she could recall by now Ray was glaring at her already but she just ignored him and smirked.

"Williams Grey is my father." Jasmine replied with a smile.

Camilla choked on her glass of juice she was having in her mouth and the glass of juice she was having on her hand fell making the content of the just to pour on her clothes and the cup landed on the floor.

"What the....?" Clara stopped mid sentence seeing it was her friend that just shattered her glass cup.
"Camilla are you alright?".

Camilla couldn't speak out,she just gave a nod and that was it.

"I doubt it." Clara replied with a frown.

"Madam,are you sure you're OK?". Jasmine asked staring at Camilla.

"Uhmm. Yes. If..you'd...excuse me..I need..to go to the bathroom to clean up." Camilla stammered and quietly stood up from her chair to the visitor's bathroom that's in the left hand side of the room.

"Granny,please get a broom and parker to sweep off this mess here." Clara said.

"Sure." Granny replied dashing off to the kitchen and was back within a minute with the broom and parker.

"Let me help you clean it up." Jasmine said rising up from her seat.

"No,don't worry. You're my guest,I can't allow you to be doing my job for me. I can do it myself." Granny said.

"No,ma. I don't want you to see me as a guest in this aspect. I insist I help you out. It wouldn't take away anything if I do this. Please, just let me." Jasmine pleaded.

"OK. Fine. Boy,don't query me later for given your girl some work to do." Granny said and Ray grin at that.

"I'm sure he won't." Jasmine replied with a smile and matched over to where Granny was standing and collected the broom and parker from her.

"Thank you,my child." Granny said flashing a warmth smile of gratitude.

Jasmine returned her smile and bent down and started sweeping. She adjusted the chair and swept all the broken glasses to the parker. When she was done,Granny showed her where to throw the bin close to the kitchen.

"Mrs,Clara, what do you think about Jasmine? She's such a cool lady unlike Sylvia. Don't you think so?". Granny whispered to Clara not wanting Ray hear them.

"I wouldn't know. Maybe she's just pretending." Clara replied in a nonchalant tone.

"What? You can't say that about that miss. She's so real. You can see it all over her. You've met her before so you should have known her better than me." Granny said.

"Hmm. Well the first I met her she was nice,but I never expected her to be a fiancé snatcher!" Clara retorted and took a sip of her juice.

Granny stared at her with wide eyes in a gape.

"Ray,I like that Jasmine of a girl. She's so respectful. I've liked her ever since her dad introduced her to me as his daughter the first day I signed as business partners with him. And most of all when she gave that presentation you and I went for in his company,it was such a brilliant and superb presentation." Robert said in audible tone that attracted the ladies attention.

"Yeah. I agree with you dad." Ray replied with a wide grin.

"You know,when I first saw her,something in me yearn for her as my daughter in-law. And now..." Robert stopped mid sentence wiggling his brows.

Ray chuckled. "I've got eyes like you, you know. I'm happy you like her,dad." He replied with a wink.

"Whatever. As father like son." Clara said with a scowl earning an unladylike snort from granny Joyce.

Jasmine had gone to the left where she had seen Camilla went to earlier. She as well wanted to relief herself hoping Camilla must be done by now before she could join them at the dinning again. On getting there,she noticed the door is still locked. She was surprised why it was still locked.

She heard a fast breathing from the inside and some faint words like "no it can't be,maybe its just a coincidence of name and all that..". Not waiting any longer,Jasmine knocked on the door.

Camilla became stiff at the sound of the knock. The knock came again and she jolted from where she was squatting and stood up. Quickly,she held the handle for flushing the toilet and twisted it making water to rush out. She also turned the sink tap and water started rushing as well. "Hey,who's there? I'm coming out right now!" She yelled making Jasmine to believe she was relieving herself earlier.

"Ok..ay. Are you sure you're OK in there?!". Jasmine yelled back.

Camilla's heart started beating fast again on hearing that voice. "Its her,she's here again." She whispered to herself. She rested her back on the wall feeling tensed.

"Hello?". Jasmine spoke up again.

"Yeah..I'm.. Fine. I'll be out now." Camilla replied with a stutter. She washed her face in the bathroom sink allowing the cold water to calm her nerves. She off the tap afterwards, and mopped her face with her face towel. Taking a deep breath as many times as she wanted, she opened the door and her eyes fell on Jasmine.

Both ladies gaze was fixed. It was a staring contest. To Jasmine, she couldn't tell why this woman in front of her was staring at her this way. After the long gazing, Jasmine decided to look away.

"Madam,you've been staring at me ever since I walked into this house, do you know me from somewhere?". Jasmine asked.

Camilla raised a brow at the question. She swallowed the lumps in her throat but yet she couldn't answer.

"I think I'll take that for a no. If you'd excuse me,I'll like to use the restroom." Jasmine said with a smile waiting for her to make way so she could go inside.

Camilla gave a nod and excused herself from the door. Just about when Jasmine was to shut the door, Camilla spoke up.

"I know you." Camilla said making Jasmine to halt from shutting the door.
