Anatomy of an Heiress

Chapter 12

"Makiki-ipod na lang po dito, salamat," I instructed the men who were carrying the furniture for my unit. Tita Maan is here, she was helping me with the deliveries and all that. 

The living room is already complete, just a few more decorations to make it feel homier and it's done. The kitchen is also done, Asher helped me buy glassware and other kitchen tools. Marunong pala s'ya magluto, mas marunong pa sa'kin in fact.

My room is also done, as well as the dining area. I can sleep here tonight.

Our sem is also over so I have so much more time to focus on this unit. 

As for the case of Ate Viviene, the date of the trials are the only thing we are waiting for. I am also one of the witnesses so I have to be there, Tita Maan is helping, as well as the lawyer she recommended. 

My father is surprisingly keeping in touch with me, checking in, asking how am I, and even asks who helps me. He was actually talking to me. He was more focused on backing up Ate Viviene though, attending press conferences, talking to the media. I have to keep a low profile because of that. 

I signed the papers for receiving the deliveries of the furniture and then they started packing up. Tita Maan was checking for defects on the sofas, tables, ganoon. Maya-maya, she called me so we can talk. 

We were sitting in the dining area, I was looking around, making sure everything was in order when she spoke. 

"I heard you already told your father," I sharply inhaled when I heard what she had just said. How did she know? Was Kingsley talking to her?

I exhaled and looked down, "I did what was best for my brother. I had to tell Papa because... he needs to know that we know."

"Is Kingsley fine with it?"

I shook my head and looked at her. "No, I think he's still mad at me. He doesn't call much often."

"He'll come around."

"He should," I answered and chuckled. 

She placed her hands on top of mine and smiled. A sign that she's already leaving. Hinatid ko s'ya sa pintuan and I plopped myself on my new sofa. I sighed when I looked at my phone and saw Yonna's text. Makipagkita raw ako sa kanya because she has no idea how to celebrate her birthday. 

Rich bitch problems. 

I changed into presentable clothes before leaving. I'm wearing a loose, white, graphic shirt and denim shorts. I brought my tote bag with me and got my keys to leave. I gathered my hair with a hair clam.

I drove to the location that Yonna texted. It was a cafe near her condo kaya medyo malayo rin. When I arrived, nakita kong nandoon pala si Asher, with Don surprisingly, at nakasimangot na si Alyonna. I smiled when I saw her face. 

Medyo na-miss ko rin kabardagulan si Don, lalo na kapag sila ni Alyonna ang nagkalat. 

When I went inside the cafe, I sat beside Yonna, Don was sitting adjacent to her. In front of me was Asher. I wiggled my eyebrows up and down when Yonna looked at me, irritated.

She also called Mica and Vance so they should be here anytime soon. As for her other friends in her department, mamaya na lang daw n'ya ime-meet. 

Nakikinig lang ako sa sagutan ni Alyonna at Don dahil para akong nakalibre ng ticket sa fliptop battle. Buti na lang wala masyadong tao rito at mukhang mabait 'yung staff. 

I looked at Asher in front of me, he was playing something on his phone so I didn't bother him. I was about to stand up to order a drink when he offered that he'll order for us.
