Lately, Rhianne became interested in jewelry making. Her fascination with this activity started when she accidentally watched a short video about personalized items. Rhianne discovered that she can create her own jewelry using the materials around her. As a thrifty auntie deep inside her heart, this activity captured her whole attention.
Rhianne's jewelry is all branded and expensive. A simple pearl earrings in her jewelry box can be equivalent to the price of a brand new car. Although she likes her jewelry, Rhianne still chooses to wear those things only if there is an important occasion or if her mom asked her to wear it. She is afraid to lose her expensive jewelry. If that really happens, her heart will surely break into pieces although she can literally buy a new set of it.
When Candice accidentally learned about it, she asked Rhianne if she can join her. Of course, Rhianne does not have any objection to it. Rhianne invited Candice to her house tom
Yesterday, Candice's father met Francis for the first time. He personally interviewed Candice's father and asked him a lot of questions related to his possible and future job. Before he left the office, Candice's father was accepted as the new stock manager of the company and he will start as soon he passes all of his requirements. Aside from his monthly salary, Francis also told him that he will give him a weekly bonus as long as he will never be late and he can give the documents he will ask for on time. When Candice heard the good news from her father, she quickly texted Rhianne to thanked her. Rhianne also thanked Francis for accepting Candice's father for his company. But Francis refused to accept her gratitude. Her brother told her that he did not accept her friend's father in the company because of her. Francis gave him t
"Rhianne, I really do not how to thank you. I..." "Shh. Stop thanking me now, Candice." Rhianne said helplessly with a smile. "It was my mom who hired your mother, not me." "But still... If not because of you, we will never have this good opportunity in our life. Really... Thank you so much." "Candice..." It is now the weekend and Candice visited Rhianne's house for the first time. When Carmie saw Candice, she became overjoyed and quickly let her enter their house. As expected, Carmie was so excited to meet her daughter's friend. Aside from Keith who is always visiting their house, Rhianne did not try to invite some of her friends or classmates. So when Rhianne told her that one of her close friends will visit their house, Carmie quickly made a lot of preparation. She was eager to know what kind of friends Rhianne have in school. Just like what she promised, Candice brought her mother
When Keith saw Francis, he smiled wryly to himself. Suddenly, he remembered a video game that Hansel recommended to him and he played before all night. 'The mini big boss has arrived.' "Oh! Look who is here. The brat who thinks he can steal my little sister's heart. I really admire your persistence, Little Lancester." Francis said with a bright smile on his face. "...Good afternoon, Brother. I-" "As far as I am concerned, I only have one sibling. A beautiful and gentle little sister. Fortunately, the heavens did not give you as my sibling." Francis cut him off. "..." 'So should I be glad that I have Calvin as my brother and not you?' Keith seriously compared his brother with Rhianne's brother. As far as he is concerned, Francis is kind to everyone aside from him. As for his brother, Calvin is kind only to their par
"Hmm? Mr. Protagonist? What are you doing here?" Rhianne was surprised when she saw Keith sitting in their living room. Rhianne wanted to get a plate of assorted cookies in their kitchen and share it with Candice inside her room while they are finishing their small project so she goes downstairs. She was confused when she saw him staring seriously at the glass of juice placed on the table. She quickly approached Keith and sit beside him. "What's the problem? Did my brother bully you again?" Rhianne asked. Her voice is full of concern. "Do not worry, Mr. Protagonist. If my brother is always bothering you, I will surely protect you from him." When Keith heard those words, he can't help but look at Rhianne with squinted eyes. "...Do I look like someone that can be bullied easily?" "I do not mean it like that." "Then what?" "Just... It is obvious that y
Turning their heads, they saw Candice standing on the stairs and looking at them with a raised brow. Or it is much better to say that she is glaring at Keith as if he owed her a lot of money. "You heard it. We have a date. So what?" Keith asked her back. "Why so aggressive? I am just asking." Candice answered with a smirk. "You're wrong. How can I be so aggressive with my girl's friend?" "My girl?" Wow. That was a fast development. I just changed my clothes and when I go downstairs, my sister is already 'your' girl?" Three pairs of eyes looked up and saw Francis on top of the stairs while fixing his collar. He may have a chill stance, but Rhianne can see the menacing look behind his eyes. Not only her but even Keith saw it. "Rhianne, when is your next check-up with Calvin?" Francis asked. "Well... Next week. Why are you asking me about it?"
Keith let out a sigh again. It actually happened once when they were in high school. A year after Andrew left the city, Keith and Rhianne became an inseparable pair. At that time, they had a new transferee student who also became their classmate. Keith cannot remember her full name, but that girl was called Donna. She was introduced by their school adviser before asking Rhianne to help Donna to adjust in their class. Rhianne accepted the task before she introduced herself to their new classmate. When the transferee student discovered that Rhianne is the little princess of the Cartel family, she quickly befriended her and became a sticky gum on her side. Keith instantly hated that girl named Donna. That girl was too clingy and touchy towards Rhianne. She even tried to insert herself between them. There were times when Donna will pretend that she and Keith were as close as her relationship with Rhianne. But when that girl failed to get Keith's att
"Keith..." "Do not worry, Rhia. We can still go to another restaurant tonight." "But Mr. Protagonist-" "Wait. I think I should call our driver to fetch us here. Just give me a minute here." "..." "We can still proceed with our date tonight. Let me find another restaurant, okay?" "..." Rhianne cannot help but smile wryly when she saw Keith is obviously nervous about their unexpected situation. He may look calm on the outside, but the rapid movements of his eyes, as well as the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, will never lie. Rhianne grew up with Keith on her side all the time. Of course, she can already recognize if something is wrong with him or not. Earlier, Rhianne left her house with Keith since he invited her for a dinner date tonight. As for Candice, she stayed in their house because of her mother. Rhianne's mother told Candice to stay after knowing that she was one of the kids who previously sta
After a thirty-minute ride, the two of them arrived at the nearest mall. Rhianne hold Keith's arm and pulls him with her until they arrived at the arcade center located on the second floor. She goes straight to the counter to buy a lot of tokens. After that, Rhianne stares at Keith with a silly smile on her face. "Do you want to make a deal with me?" Rhianne asked. "Huh? What do you mean?" "The person who will win in every game we play today can ask a simple wish to the loser." "...What are we? Ten?" "Oh? Are you scared to lose? Mr. Protagonist, I did not raise you to be a coward!""Stupid. You never raised me. It is my parents' role to raise me.""That's not the point. So do you want it or not?" "..." "Deal?" "Fine." Keith answered before letting out a sigh. "You better not regret your decision." "The same goes for you, Mr. Protagonist!" Rhianne exclaimed with a beam. And with those words
