Daisy

Chapter 10

(Another country)

Daisy Pov

"Daisy!" My saviour like sister called.

I am done packing,I flung her backpack on my shoulder and pulled my luggage behind me. 

I guess I have everything I need. I enter our living room and meet Diana standing by the dining table.

She has a worried expression on, she looks like she's regretting letting me go.

"You know it's not too late to change your mind, you know?"

I roll my eyes.

"I'm not gonna change my mind, you should be happy I'm going to make a fortune" I said in an overly happy tone.

"I'm just worried about you, it's too dangerous out there and where you know nothing about?"

"It's not dangerous,,,,,, "

She glares at me.

"I shift on my spot and chuckles nervously. It's indeed dangerous but it's the only chance I have and I must take it beside you having taken me in and treating me as your sister for long. I just want to stay on my own and you know being here only makes me remember what I have lost" I said.

I laugh lightly trying to cover up the tears coming.

"Diana, don't worry about me. I'll be just fine and besides, look at my loveable and cute face.

No one will be so heartless as to hurt it" I assured her.

She didn't say anything more, just frowning and sighing.

"Fine, I'll walk you to the door," she says.

I nod enthusiastically.

She grabbed my luggage and walked me to the door.

"Don't forget to call me!" She said sternly.

I nod. I nudged her shoulder gently.

"Be honest, you are super happy I'm leaving"

"What? I'm happy you're walking into fire?" 

"Hmm-mmm, at least you and Josh will have our apartment all to yourselves!" I wink at her.

I see her blush a little at the mention of Josh's name, but she quickly brushes it off.

Josh is her boyfriend, they've been dating for two years now and I swear they are so cute together that I sometimes get jealous of their relationship.

"Don't bring Josh up, remember to give me a call when you arrive!"

"Okay, mummy!"

I stepped out and started pulling my luggage behind me, but I didn't go too far before she stopped me.

"What is it this time, Mom?" I mocked her.

She puts her hands on her waist.

"Aren't you taking a cab? Don't tell me you planned on walking there!"

"I'm going to the bus station, it's cheaper!"

"But going on a cab is faster"

I shake my head.

"I ain't gonna waste my money on cabs, taking the bus helps save money"

"Why is everything about money to you?"

I laugh and wave at her.

"I should get going, I didn't wanna miss my flight" I told her.

She simply nodded, while I continued on my journey.

I don't know how long I have trekked, but it's been a long distance. Passing by an ice cream shop, I decided to get a cup of ice cream.

It helps me a little. I loved ice cream alot then when my sister and I were still young before the incident.

Okay I don't want to remember.

I enter the ice cream shop, my haste steps falter when I see how long the line is. I imagine my head getting bigger and bigger like those cartoon characters.

When in God's name is it gonna be my turn, my shoulders slumps down. I turn and decide to continue my journey, 

Hours later..night

The cab driver stopped at a big gate, I alighted and paid him his money.

"Keep the change," I told him.

"Thank you, ma'am" 

I head towards the gate.

I sigh, how do I let them know someone is standing outside. Then I saw a small button on the gate, I pressed it and waited a few minutes.

Soon, a security guard came out.

"Good morning, ma'am" he greets me.

This security guard seem so serious and all but he's quite polite.

"Morning, sir"

"How may we help you?"

"I'm here based on Mr Brown's order!"

Entering the compound, I'm awestruck! 

A big mansion proudly stood in the middle of the compound, the kind in which most American kids dreamed of growing up. 

most exclusive streets, it had turrets, gables, balconies, a screened-in front porch, a free standing garage and a pool at a corner. 

I really can't wait to see what the inside would look like.

Okay Daisy you are here to work!

The security guard opens the main door and we step into the living room.

"Wait here, I will inform the boss of your arrival" he said.

I nod and he heads towards a staircase.

I look around, with my mouth slightly open.

"Just how rich are these people?!" I questioned myself.

Though the house is very big, the living room is quite narrow. The floor was paved with green flowered bricks and the walls were paved with white flowered bricks, these colors made the room more bright.

It has one door and two windows, one window is near the steps and the other is it's opposite. From this window, one can see the bright blue sky and get a perfect view of the city.

A big flat screen TV rests on the wall, brown velvet sofas and a black coffee table in front of the TV.

But the walls are just plain white..

Hmm, I guess the owner of this mansion is really a hot dude, if not he must be one rich man in the society..
