CHAPTER 24
The other girls were also silent and waiting for my answer.
“I don’t know, Hannah, I’m just in my office. But if you want to know his whereabouts and which women she meets, you can come into the office. ” I said.
“Huh? What am I going to do there? ” she asked me.
“Actually, I’m thinking of getting you all into the office to work. You’re not just lying down inside the mansion. You have to explore. ” I said.
“Really, Miss?” they all said at once.
“Yes, even if your courses don’t fit, it’s okay. Later on, you’ll also learn to work there. Randolf told me that the company is hiring a lot of employees. The company has expanded, “I said.”
“All right, miss, thank you.”
“Let’s get dressed, Genie, so we can start hiking.” I said and entered the room first.
I already wore the one I was ready to put on. A leggings and a hooded sweatshirt. I wore my black rubber shoes. Suddenly, the door opened and Lucianna entered.
“I’ll take your backpack, Miss,” he said to me, taking my things at once.
“I’m the one to carry that, that’s not heavy, “I said.
“No, it’s just me, Miss, so you don’t have to take anything. I know you shouldn’t be used in hiking. Besides, the road isn’t plain but bumpy, ” she said, once outside of the room.
And then I followed her outside. We have already started walking. And Lucianna was right. We did not go well, but there was water and the road was bad. I was starting to sweat. All I see are trees. But so far I haven’t felt scared.
“Hopefully, the next time we go here, we will all have boyfriends so that someone will carry our luggage. The weight of the tumblers.” Lazzy’s complaint.
“You don’t need a boyfriend, Lazz, but a butler. In short, a helper, ” Laica replied.
“Why did you bring so much water?” I asked them.
“We’re easily thirsty, Miss. There are coconuts here. But we don’t know how to climb, “said Lucianna.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
” We’re close to the stream. It’s nice there.” Laica replied.
“What time is it?” I asked.
“It’s four o’clock in the afternoon.”
“We didn’t know the time. I’m hungry. I forgot to eat earlier. ”
“We have food.”
And I heard the rushing water coming from the waterfall. And I saw a small house made of bamboo walls above the tree. Are we here yet? Whose house is that? ” I teach at home.
“Miss, we did it, and we can sleep there now. It’s nice,” Lucianna replied.
“Really, over the tree? Isn’t it scary to go along that ladder? ” I asked.
“No, we used big trees there. And then the air is nice when you’re upstairs. You want to go up, Miss? Let’s eat first, “said Lazzy.
“I’m scared of going up there. I’m not afraid of heights, but I don’t think I can. I might fall. “my answer.
“That’s okay, Miss, because you fell at the bottom. It’s more surprising if you fall from the top. ” Genie’s office.
“So funny,” I said. I was so hungry that I tried to climb. My feet were twisting. I could feel the trembling of my whole body.
“Take it easy, Miss, we’ll help you.” said Lucianna.
“Don’t follow me. Just one at a time. Maybe when we all go up, the stairs will be destroyed. ” I said.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I finally reached the balcony of the house. I sat down in great fear and nervousness. Half an hour later, we were all inside the house and started eating.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon when I thought about leaving the classroom. I found Duke in the hallway.
“I thought you weren’t going home?” he asked me.
I just finished something. So I don’t have to take it home anymore. “My answer.” While carrying my laptop and bag, Duke and I walked out of the school. I was shocked when I saw Mitch talking to Amara in the distance.
“Are they still there?” I asked Duke.
“Sure.”
Mitch didn’t text me that she was going to school here. Duke and I waved. Duke grinned at me, frowning at me.
“What do you feel every time you go out of school tired and you see such a smile like that?” Duke asked me.
I didn’t answer Duke’s question. I just kept walking closer to Mitch. I kissed her cheek. And I smiled at Amara with that sweet smile looking at us. I know he already knows that Mitch and I already have a relationship.
“Why didn’t you say you were coming here?” I asked.
Mitch’s eyes rolled.
“I don’t want to disturb you. So I just came here without you knowing. Because I know you’re busy, ” Mitch replied.
That would have bothered you, if he had just seen you in that order and disappeared suddenly. “You’re so handsome,” said Amara.
Duke laughed too.
“Have you only known that you have just seen Zander’s handsomeness, sweetheart? “Said Duke.
“Mitch would regret it if Zander hadn’t become her.” Mitch bowed as if embarrassed, but smiled later.
“I have no intention of releasing him,” Mitch replied. I smiled, because I was happy with what Mitch said. When I looked at Duke, he gave me a thumbs-up with a wink. But it looks like I have a rival with him. Mitch said again, frowning at me.
“Why?” Duke asked.
“She saw the woman you used to be dating waiting outside the school. I wonder who she was waiting for here? So we know it’s Zander, ” Amara replied.
What else did Davianna do here at school? I explained to her that she had nothing to expect from me. She’s just really making a mess. It’s a good thing Mitch isn’t mad at me now.
“Are we double dating today?” Amara asked. It’s okay. Where can we eat? I’m a little hungry, “said Mitch, simultaneously holding my arm.
We were already walking to Duke’s car. I opened the door to Mitch’s, and he entered. I followed it too.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Next time, we’ll get in the car first, Zander,” Duke said.
“Do you already have a car?” Mitch whispered to me.
“My mother’s boyfriend gave that car to me,” I said.
I didn’t mention Mitch or tell her about my life. But I slowed down at first. I also plan to introduce her to my mother and Uncle Augusto.
“Really?”
“Yes, I really don’t want to accept it because I’m ashamed. But she insists. You know, that’s how it is when still dating, right? ” I whispered too.
“No offense intended. Where is your father? ” Mitch asked as she leaned her head on my shoulder.
I kissed her hair.
“I haven’t had a father in a long time. I wasn’t a teacher when he died. So it’s a pity that he didn’t catch up with me being successful, ” I said.
“Don’t be sad. We can’t control our lives. So all we can do is accept your father’s fate, “said Mitch.
I nodded.
“I lost my temper last night. I thought you were already upset with me,” I said.
“No, I understand you’re busy. But my phone didn’t work, “said Mitch.
“That’s why I called you. So I thought you were angry with me. ”
“Expect me not to be a hindrance to your work, “said Mitch.
“Thank you, I love you,” I said.
“I love you too.”
I smiled because I could feel the sincerity in Mitch’s voice when she said she loved me too. I think I was traumatized by what Davianna did to me, so I get angry because when I don’t want her anymore, she shows up to me.
