The sky was turning dark,it was a sign of the day coming to an end and also a reminder for Lina to set off.
Lina looked down at the box of dishes held in her hands and blinked. She felt touched.
"Aunt Phillis is a very kindhearted woman" Lina sincerely commented
"Yeah, I know. She's been of great help to me ever since I moved here, she's one of the few people I hold in high esteem" Yvonne emotionally replied
The second woman who made her realise that her perception of people here in Country A is false, and that, there are actually nice people out there.
'Why didn't those people take anything good from this place? they're so evil !' Yvonne frowned
"So, have you gone to visit Madam Clara? " Lina asked as she walked forward
"I've gone there once and I plan to go there in a few days time" Yvonne replied with a smile. The frown from earlier was nowhere to be seen.
The mention of Madam Clara brought her inner happiness and joy. Madam Clara was the first person who managed to earn her trust and love.
How can she forget someone who has been nothing but good to her?
"Should we go out tomorrow? " Lina inquired
"oka...."
"Oh no!, I almost forgot. My boss and I have to go somewhere " Lina sadly blinked at Yvonne
"Hey, there's no need to be sad, we can go out anytime you're free" Yvonne consoled her bestie but suddenly chuckled
'Why does she always have to console this girl? they are of the same age alright ! ,Also isn't she,Yvonne younger to Lina by three months? '
Vroooomm.. A white spotscar suddenly stopped before them. The driver rolled down his side of the glass window and smiled.
"Ladies deserves to be treated like queens. So, your king is here to drive you home" Daniel smiled mischievously
'Oh how he wish to see the girl's bashful face like earlier during breakfast! '
Yvonne's lips curled up. She could see through Daniel's smile.
Lina looked to Yvonne , she had the look that said;
"Is it safe to accept his offer? "
Yvonne's smile widened as she nodes to assure her bestie
Daniel whistled when he saw their interaction. But why's this girl being so cautious of him?
It's not like he's going to eat her up alright?
While mulling, he got down and opened the front passenger door for Lina. Daniel closed it and returned to the driver's seat.
"Tell brother I will be back in a while " He tossed these words to Yvonne and speed off
Yvonne was baffled at Daniel's words. 'Why should she be the one to pass on his message?, what's the use of cell phone anyway? Also, she never asked him to send her bestie home! '
Back in the car, Lina looked everywhere except to Daniel's direction. She felt stupid!
'She's got a free ticket so why can't she utilise it?, People pay millions just to see his face and attend his shows, but here he was being presented freely for her consumption !. I will just take a peek ' She gathered her courage and slightly turned her head but before she could fulfill her desire,
" Is the view out there so mesmerizing that you won't even look at me for a second? " Daniel weakened her courage with his words
Lina began searching through her bag purse for something, but as to what she was searching for, no one knows. Not even she herself !
That's the power of shyness. It can make you do the unthinkable and most embarrassing things.
And like many girls,Lina wasn't any different when it came to handsome guys.
Daniel chuckled playfully, but this time, it was loud enough for Lina to hear.
"Have you found what you're searching for? ,if not, then I can help you search for it. "
How could he allow this chance to slip just like that!
Lina by now, was finding it difficult to be in the car. She felt her butt being pierced by needles in the car seat .
"I think I left it in the ma....mansion" the half exasperated, half confuse Lina muttered without a second thought
"The mansion, okay let's go back to retrieve it" Daniel said and made the attempt to turn back the car when Lina screamed
"No! " she looked at Daniel with her slightly big eyes
" I mean don't go back,i will tell Yvonne to keep it safe for me" it's embarrassing to keep on telling lies ! she muttered under her breath
Once a lie is said, another is bound to follow and just like that, it keeps on getting bigger and bigger.
But, who was Daniel anyway? He knew she was lying but didn't want to embarrass her any further. He even pretended to turn the car around.
"Can we be friends? " Daniel looked to her and asked
"Okay" Lina could only say one word. She didn't want to further embarrass herself.
"That's great, save your phone number here " Daniel handed his phone to her
Lina took it and added her contact, she then gave the phone back to Daniel. He took it from her hand and called her number, he wanted to be sure she hasn't put in the wrong number
"That's my number, save it. I don't want to introduce myself anytime I call !" Daniel brows knitted slightly together
And just like an obedient child, Lina saved the number but before she could type any word,
"Daniel, just save it Daniel" Daniel looked at the girl's lips slightly pouted and his suspicion was confirmed
He knew it, this girl would have probably save his number with some adjectives like; Mr. ,Idol, Prince... blah blah blah !
Lina had no other choice than to obey him. 'So, how come he look so unaprochable whenever he appears on screens ?' It baffled her as to how a nice and warm guy like him could be associated with the word COLD in the entertainment world.
"Don't judge a book by its cover " this saying is very true ! she concluded
