8:30am
Eva Ye was still asleep. Mr. Ye was losing his patience because of his childish daughter who was still sleeping.
"Janvi why is she still asleep. what did she do last night". Mr. Ye shouted at his wife who was preparing breakfast.
Janvi, the mistress of the paradise household is a sensible woman who was in her late forties.
"honey let me go and wake her up". Mrs. Ye hastily replied and ran to her daughter's bedroom which was in the second floor.
The snooze of the alarm went off for the nth time in the princess room and the princess was still in her beauty sleep.
suddenly someone removed the quilt and tossed it on the bedside.
"mommy what are you doing. let me sleep for five more minutes". Eva mumbled and went back to sleep.
Janvi hastily pulled her from the bed and pushed her into the bathroom." within 30 mints you've to come downstairs, otherwise....." she trailed off and went downstairs.
what is with the time limit, thought Eva. she brushed her teeth and took a shower. she came out of bathroom wearing a cute bathrobe.
she dried her hair and put on her clothes, then went downstairs. everyone was present in the dining room except her. She ran to her seat and sat down.
"Good morning papa, mommy" she greeted her parents and started digging into her food. Mr. and Mrs. Ye just smiled and continued with their breakfast. Eva is a student of arts and visual communication in a renowned college in Beijing, China and she is 22 this year. After breakfast Eva grabbed her college bag and said goodbye to her parents.. As she prepared to step out Mr. Ye said "Eva, I'll drop you".
she said nothing and just nodded.
Mr. Ye kissed his wife and went to his car with his daughter. Mr. Wei was waiting for them. Alex Wei was Mr Ye's private chauffeur. He's working for Johnson Ye for 30 years.
There was silence inside the car as the father and daughter were looking outside the car window and in their own world. Johnson Ye was thinking how fast his baby girl has grown up. He sighed and looked at his daughter who was leisurely sitting beside him.
"Why are you so silent my dear?". asked Mr. Ye.
"I was thinking why you're not coming to the topic yet? replied Eva
"hahaha... how did you know I've something to talk with you?".
"otherwise why should you give me a ride to College on your busy schedule papa". with a teasing smile Eva said.
Mr. Ye was taken aback and grinned.
"okay. let me come to the point" he regained his composure and said.
Eva looked at her father.
"Today the Lus are invited for a small family gathering in our mansion, so come home before 3pm".
Eva's face dropped.
"I think this is a good opportunity to discuss the family betrothal between you and the young master of the Lu family". said Mr. Ye cheerfully.
the car reached the gates of the International college and Eva reached out to open the car door. Mr. Ye patted his daughter's head in a spoiling manner and smiled with eyes full of adoration.
