It was after lunch when Daniela Snow finally disappeared in the condo.
Andrea looked at her clock on the wall to see that it's already 2 pm. She couldn't write at this time of the day since she mostly writes stories in a writer platform at morning with her fresh ideas on what plot she's planning to write.
She shoves her way towards her work table. With its simple set-up, a rectangular table and a single wooden chair patterned by a simple sunflower design at the back. In the table, from the left side of the table lies the accessories of her gadgets including the charger of her laptop and her phone which are properly arranged since that's where the wire outlet is positioned. Furthermore, from the right side of the table lies the complete set of pencil, pen and markers arranged by box and 2 piled notebooks. Lastly, the center of the table where her laptop lies in an adjustable stand was positioned.
After cleaning her chair, she sits and stretches her fingers before opening her laptop. When the laptop is ready to function, she checks her social media first before opening her writer account to check on her beloved stories.
Andrea checks on her message box if someone left a message to her. Unsurprisingly, she saw that she is the main topic to their own squad group chat named Squad of Lunatics.
The admin of their very own group chat is none other than Angel Harly Forrester. A young woman who acts as their mother in the group and one of the wealthiest chefs in Denvor City. She owns a five star restaurant since her skills in cooking are extraordinary and her food is beyond delicious making it the top 2 most luxurious and extravagant restaurant in the country.
Andrea sometimes wonders why she is surrounded with wealthy women while she's just a mere writer.
She is about to respond to the disastrous conversation in their group chat when she's suddenly met with a raging lion mother, Angel.
Angel: [ What the fuck happened to you, Andrea Nicole? Are you chasing your own death! ]
Kendys: [ Now, now. Don't be so harsh, Angel. Daniela said she's just over fatigue. ]
Angel: [ That's not what I'm worried about, you dumb bitch! I was worried that she would end up unconscious in the freakin' street. If something happened to her in that place? What can we do about it? ]
Jenevic: [ Come on girls, it's all in the past now. The important thing is that Andrea's alright and well. ]
Ladyheart: [ That's right! Besides, there's someone who saved her that day. Daniela said it's a guy. I wonder who might that be. ]
Lucille: [ Maybe he's handsome. Lucky Andrea. ]
Daniela: [ Or maybe he's ugly that's why he won't show his face. Unlucky Andrea uwuu..]
Andrea: [ Are you chasing your death too, Daniela? ]
Daniela: [ Oh come on, babe. Don't be so silly. Death won't come near me. I'm mesmerizing, he might fall in love. ]
Andrea: [ I think you're the one who needs to go to the hospital, bitch! Also, girls I'm fine now and I'll be careful from now on so I won't end up in a freaking street.]
Although I never really ended up in the street. The man just spouts lies so I have to deal with it. She thought.
Angel: [ You sure have to be VERY careful from now on. If you don't want to live anymore, just contact me and I'll hire a private sniper for you babe.]
Kendys: [ The fuck are you saying, Angel. You sounds like you're trying to kill Andrea early. ]
Jenevic: [ And what the heck!? You're a chef Angel yet you can hire someone for a kill? You're quite dangerous.]
Angel: [ Don't act innocent, Jenevic. Your family owns a private military group with skilled military men and you're saying I'm dangerous? Please.. Besides, money can buy anything now so why bother?]
Ladyheart: [ Enough. You all are going out of the main topic.]
Andrea didn't bother to continue meddling in the conversation of these fine young lass but each have their own hidden agendas. Well, she wouldn't care about it at least they are all good friends.
She closed her social media account and went to click the Dream Writer platform to see through her account.
She had 40 stories, all with millions of reads and votes. Her 20 stories won some awards and some of her very famous stories have been published. The sales are high. Her remaining stories are pending for publication and maybe another five of her stories will have their own books next month.
Due to her achievements in the field of literature, she became one of the famous writers in the country. Although she's not that rich just like her friends, she still has the guts to stand in their circle of friends.
Andrea has been busy in writing her 101st story entitled Linked Horizon. It is what she's been working on for this week. However she's been caught up with dealing with her own nightmares that she sometimes forgot to update.
After looking at the notifications and messages she got from her readers, she got overwhelmed with happiness. Well, there are still people who appreciate her existence. That's why she really loves her readers since they are the ones pushing her to move forward and grant them amazing stories.
....
Andrea woke up from a short nap and turned to look at the clock beside her. 7 pm.
She sits in her bed with her messy hair thinking what to have in dinner.
"Hmm, maybe I'll just go to Angel's restaurant. I'm not in the mood to cook right now. "
She got out from her dressing room wearing a black jumpsuit paired with a red sandal. Because a bold sandal can take any classic black outfit up a notch. It brightens her ankle boot that gives a simple yet elegant aura of a lady. She also hooked a red handbag to put her other accessories.
A light make up will do. It's a restaurant she's heading to, not some kind of a party. Haha.
She picked the car keys and stride to the elevator. It's not that chilly night so her outfit is fine.
As she walks towards the parking lot, a security guard greets her.
"Good evening, Miss." He said with a smile.
She smiled back and nodded gently. "Good evening as well, Mr. Edison."
She saw him nodding her back.
Finally, she reached the parking lot and looked for her beloved car. Nelliel.
In the corner of the parking lot, a beautiful car can be seen. A midnight black Mercedes-Benz 2018 model. Looking luxurious but the truth is it's a car gifted to her by the whole squad on her birthday.
Although she didn't want to accept such an expensive gift, the girls pretended that they heard nothing and didn't pay any attention to her.
"Hello, Nelliel. Looking like a bad boy huh. It's been a while since I used you. Now show me what you got."
She opened the door and sat comfortably in the driver's seat. She started the car and it roared. A grin flashed in her beautiful face.
After 20 minutes of driving, she reached the Forrester Restaurant. The restaurant is not that far from her condominium.
She parked her car in the parking lot and looked at the mirror for a bit before going in.
She didn't inform Angel so she probably doesn't know Andrea's in her restaurant. She sat at an empty table in the center and looked at the menu.
As she was looking at some dishes on the menu, she noticed in her peripheral vision that someone was sitting by her side.
Unlike Daniela Snow who is a stem-thin lady, Angel Forrester is a curvy babe. Noting she had a clean, heart-shaped face with soft green eyes, and not too tall. She was cute, a girl-next-door type of way. Her dark brown and long hair falls to her shoulders with a wavy effect. She's wearing a statement blazer paired with skinny jeans.
Oh-uh. She might be beautiful when she's calm but when she goes in rage, she's like an angry lioness.
A furrowed eyebrows is what Andrea noticed when she looked at Angel with her crossed arms and legs.
I screwed up. Real bad.
"And what is Miss Andrea doing in my restaurant?"
She's like a wild lioness staring at her prey. Andrea gulped before answering with a calm smile.
"I'm here to eat the most delicious meal for dinner prepared by the famous chef Angel Harly Forrester."
Andrea thought she's out of trouble when she said those words but as for her surprise, Angel still looked pissed.
"Don't mislead me, babe. So you don't wanna talk about what the fuck happened to you!? huh?" She's angrier now.
Guess Andrea must calm this lioness first before she can have her peaceful dinner.
"For a beautiful chef like you, you sure have a foul mouth huh. Besides, it's not that I don't want to talk about what happened to me. I just thought that it's in the past now and I'm fine. That's all that matters."
Maybe because Angel is tired of being angry when Andrea sees her calming herself down.
Andrea reached for Angel's hand on the table and squeezed it a bit.
"Don't worry, Angel. I won't repeat the same mistake ever again, okay?"
She swept my hand away lightly and looked at me with a disgusting expression.
"Get your hand off me. You're freaking me out."
She just laughed off what Angel said and after looking at Andrea laughing, Angel couldn't hold back her laughter too.
