ELENA
It was a Sunday, the day I was supposed to meet my secret well-wisher. Telling dad that I was going to the city to spend a fun weekend with Joanna was not a big deal.
Steve wanted to come along, but I told him to take this opportunity to meet his family. After dropping him at his destination, Joanna drove us to 'Green Lotus'.
She took some time and parked her car on the roadside. My poor white angel was too old and ragged for such a high-end area.
We were quite nervous though I was to go inside alone. Another message that I received in the morning from the same private number said my secret well-wisher was too shy and wanted to keep his identity hidden.
So he asked me to come alone for this lunch.
I had to promise Joanna to treat her at the same place after receiving the award with my hard-earned money.
Looking at that medieval Europe-themed place made me count the dollars that I would need to lose for feeding this hippo!
