"I'm Leonardo Le Roux but you can call me Leo." He outstretched his hand. Is this even allowed ? Why is he treating me like I'm white. I hastily wiped my hands before shaking his soft and firm hand that made me...

"This tastes funny mahn." Aldo said with a disapproving look. Leo and I wanted to burst out laughing.
"I'm offended that's my grandmother's Appeltaart recipe." Leo said faking being hurt.
"We ain't used to these things maybe you should leave some for Mr. De Ruiter." I said in all honesty, it look scrumptious but it tasted funny. I mean cooked apples isn't so great or maybe I'm just not used to it.
"Okay so what do you eat around here ?" Leo asked curiously.

"I mean the Kota from Soweto." I said crossing my arms.
"What's Quarter ?" Leo questioned still eating his apple what not.

"Mr. Johan told me to come over check if everything is okay..." He walked in looking around then his dog followed which made me really mad because I will have to clean again.
"Well I'm not a child, I'm fine." Leo said in a fussy manor. I hadn't even realised Aldo had used the back door to go outside leaving me alone.
"I know but you are new here so you might not know how things work with the Kaefers." He said clicking his tongue, his hands in his pockets.
"They are just like monkeys. You should not be nice to them because they will take advantage of you." Randy said in a nonchalant tone.
"You should go." Leo said in a bored tone, holding the door open for him.
