Chapter 2[Day of Departure]
"Be safe Sweetheart," John hugged his granddaughter longingly, " visit me oftentimes."
"I sure will," Andy returned the hug.
The sun was up when Mr. Rowan, Donna"s father, arrived to fetch her for their departure to Capital City along with Donna.
Every step she"d taken from the main door to the car waiting outside felt heavier than the first.
She has been living with John for three years. The love, the warmth he gave her could not be measured by any means.
Stopping at a distance and turning her back to face her Grandpa standing, smiling, waving at the door broke her bottled emotions. Tears flew without her making a sound and without John seeing it. She"s that far enough.
She then made her steps to the car waiting and got in after making a glance to the entire neighborhood. She felt nostalgic.
"You sure are reckless Andy," glancing on the mirror to the backseat , Mr. Rowan stated after some time.
They"re on their ride to Capital City. Both girls sat in the back.
Andy smiled dryly " I sure am, Mr. Rowan."
Donna"s father could sense how lifeless Andy answered him.
"Even so, do take care of my daughter. Give us a call if anything unusual happens."
"Will do."
Donna"s eyes rolled, "It"s more like the opposite Dad. So troublesome."
Andy felt the need to argue but refrain herself. She doesn"t have the energy to bicker with her friend for now.
Leaning her head on the window, glancing at people, trees and buildings they"d pa.s.sed by but not really looking at any of them, her thoughts wander.
"Yeah, I"m reckless."
Being the pampered daughter of her parents, the most loved sister of her renowned brother, the most successful individuals in the business and construction industry in Capital City, there is no reason for her not to be.
Her family, owning and running "vL Properties", the most leading Real Estate Developer company in Capital City.
Not to mention owning "vL Builders", a leading contracting company in the construction industry being her father, Andry Lewis, an Engineer.
Along with her mother, an accountant and big brother, Kevin Lewis in business, what could go wrong?
Currently, "vL Properties" stands at the peak, offering the best deals of luxury apartments, hotels and villas in the entire Capital City.
So what would make Andy here? An heir? Yes, but she never treated herself as one.
She never wanted such abundance nor that so called FAME everyone is striving to pursue but what can she do?
She was born and raised having it.
She did not chose to be born this rich and there is really nothing she could do when all she wanted is to live like what average citizens do; not being treated special, not being regarded highly, not being befriended because of status, not being approached cautiously to avoid offending, not being surrounded by those fake people; that is what she longs for.
That"s why, she"d decided to live with John in Green City, where her Grandpa chose to live as a humble Dentist in town and not flaunting the riches that he has... and to be able to meet a friend she could talk transparently without regard is another bonus at that.
She crooked a smile glancing at her side, the sleeping log, Donna.
