EPISODE 45
"What day is it today?" Joey asked Mandy who was chopping carrots while he brewed his coffee.
"Erm..! think it's Wednesday." Mandy replied.
"Wednesday!" Joey screamed. "Oh no no no! Not Wednesday again! Wasn't it just Wednesday yesterday." Joey cried.
Mandy's pupils dilated, she slid her hand over her neck trying to stop an itch she felt at that spot. This was just Mandy trying to say she was lost.
"Could you make me understand what happens on Wednesdays? I mean I was here last Wednesday and I didn't notice you fidgeting over it, so why are you acting this way today? Seriously I don't get it." Mandy said.
"Okay, I will explain," Joey said as he took his coffee mug to the dishwasher after gulping it down in three sips. " So every Wednesday here at the Mallory's, we have this thing we do."
Mandy stared at Joey with a frustrated look which was screaming "what the hell is the thing."
"You didn't notice it last Wednesday because you didn't take a step out of your room which I still don't know why because it wasn't even your first day here neither was it your second, I will get back to that later, the focus is on this Wednesday. So here is the thing..."
"Oh! My! Goodness!" Mandy screamed taking a pause after each word.
"Shhhh!" Joey said as his reflexes pushed him to place his hands over Mandy's lips. "Be quiet, will you!" He beckoned.
"Mmm...erm.o...okay." Mandy stuttered as she struggled with her words. She kept blinking her eyes and her cheeks turned red.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Joey apologized when he finally realized what he was doing. "When you are done we need to talk about our revenge plan and there is a contract I drafted. We also have to discuss how the divorce papers would be signed. There is a lot to talk about and although I said I am very patient, we don't have adequate time to be lazy about it. So just let me know when..."
"I would be going for my antenatal care today," Mandy said as she slid the chopped carrots from the chopping board into the pot of boiling noodles.
"Oh okay," Joey said as he rubbed his hand over his chin. "What time would you be back?" He asked.
"I don't know for now, but l do know what time I would be leaving the house." Mandy chuckled.
"You are quite the joker," Joey said with a smiley face. "Erm...." Joey said still rubbing over his cheek like he was thinking of something. "Alright then, when you get back just call me."
Mandy responded with a nod of the head.
"Yh, that's right, what hospital would you be checking into? Princeton?" Joey asked squinting his eyes, almost like he was trying to check out something.
"Oh! No no no! I'm not going to Princeton, I may run into any of the Mallory's there, I would be using It's Okay hospital or maybe Life hospital, depends. I haven't decided between the two yet."
"That's fine," Joey said as he swiftly raised his brows and made a puff sound with his lips.
"And hey Joey!" Mandy called out to him. "Good luck on your Wednesday Brandon's tradition," Mandy said making a strong sigh with her hands.
"Kamsahae," Joey responded as he smiled away.
"So he hasn't forgotten the Korean word for thank you," Mandy said as she dished her meal.

"Are you off already?" Jake asked Tiffany who was all dressed up.
"Yh babe. I am, see you when I get back." Tiffany said as she walked to the door.
"Oh, you may not meet me here when you get back," Jake said." I would be going to the crime unit today. I have to talk with detective Trevor, we need to find Mandy." He added.
"Okay, I would be at 'It's Okay' hospital, just in case," Tiffany said.
"It's Okay?" Jake asked. "Why not Princeton?" He asked again.
"Well, I don't want to make use of anything Mandy used before I did, I am not some underprivileged person whom she tosses her used items too no. And I am certainly not her underlying!" Tiffany said in a defensive manner.
"It's okay, it's okay babe, we don't have to argue over this. You can go to wherever you choose, you are with the black card and you know the pin, just do what you have to." Jake had a list of other issues bothering him and adding Tiffany to that list was just not an option. "I asked for water, what's this a teeth shrinker!" Jake said yelling at the staff who had brought the water he requested for.
"I'm so sorry sir, it's just the previous one I brought you complained about it being too hot." The staff moaned.
"Yh, because I asked you for water and not a lip burner," Jake said. "You know what just don't worry, I would get it myself," Jake said infuriated already.
"You can't even get me water, how are you going to feed me then, oh Kai why did you have to pick the penthouse, why did I even ever introduce such a lame tradition." Jake cried as he walked into the kitchen.
"So how are things going over there?" Mrs. Mallory asked Tess over the phone. "I told you I didn't want responses like this didn't I?" Mrs. Mallory said with her voice pitch a little higher than normal an indication that the response she received from Tess wasn't one to put a smile on someone's face. "Oh thank you, Kai." Mrs. Mallory said diverting from her conversation with Tessa as she received the glass of orange juice she had asked Kai to bring for her before Tess has called. "I really don't get why you called me if you weren't going to share some positive improvements with me, Tess." Mrs.
Mallory said as she took the glass of orange juice with her into her room.
"Tess!" Kai screamed within her as she halted at the hearing of the name.
"Where did I hear this name before and why do I feel it's weird hearing it from Mrs. Mallory." Kai continued questioning herself.
"Well maybe it's just one of her business partners, and maybe I've heard her calling it one of the days after I moved here. Well, whatever." Kai said shrugging her shoulders as she walked away with the juice tray.
"Oh my God! Tess!" Kai screamed as she dropped the juice tray forcefully on the titled kitchen surface remembering where she once heard the name. "I need to tell Joey about this."

"Where are we headed, ma'am?" Fred,
Joey's driver asked Mandy.
"It's Okay hospital," Mandy replied as she went through her phone.
"Okay, ma'am," Fred replied as he inputted the coordinates on the GPS.
################
"We are here ma'am." Dave, said to Tiffany as they arrived at the hospital's entrance.
"That was fast." Tiffany picked up her cross-over bag which had some of her frequently used items which were her phone, toiletries, and diary. Tiffany doesn't look like it but she keeps a diary. "You would either have to wait until l'm done or come back when I call for you, it's your pick and your call to make," Tiffany said to Dave as she alighted from the car.
"I would wait, ma'am," Dave said as he closed the door after Tiffany. "Going back to that house is just calling for work and stress, I would rather just stay back here, enjoying this view and the peace and quiet," Dave said to himself after Tiffany already hurried out from his sight.
"I can't stand long queues, if l am even going to be in one at least I won't be anything beyond the fifth person," Tiffany said to herself as she walked briskly into the reception.
"Miss Mandy!" The nurse who was in charge of the time schedule called, as she walked out of the office.
Mandy stood up amongst several other women who were still waiting for their turn.
"Yes, l'm here Mandy responded as she walked into the doctor's office.
"The doctor would be seeing you now." The nurse said to Mandy.
"What in the world!" Tiffany screamed as she arrived just a few seconds after Mandy went in. "How can these many people be here already, don't people sleep in their houses anymore!" She rolled up her long-sleeved flowery patterned shirt which was covering the surface of her gold wristwatch to confirm what the time was again. "Are you serious right now!" She screamed confirming it was way too early. She slouched her head and walked down the hallway to the last empty seat at the end. "You have got to be kidding me." She said in a low voice as she sat down with no motivation.

"You keep calling me at odd hours lately. What exactly could it be again this time?" Joey said to Kai over the phone.
"Tess! It's Tess!" Kai said.
"What about Tess?" Joey asked.
