That night, the Cartel family had their dinner in one of the best French restaurants that Francis chose. While eating the delicious foods in front of them, they are happily talking with each other. Tim proudly shared his eldest son's achievements in their company to Carmie and Rhianne. Because of Tim's praises, Francis felt a little shy. Rhianne congratulated her brother for doing his best in the company.
"It was a group effort. If my colleagues did not help me, I am sure that I cannot finish that project on time." Francis said. He cannot just receive all the praises from them since he did that project with his colleagues.
"But you still did your best! You are so amazing, brother!" Rhianne praised Francis again. She is very proud of him and it is visible on her face. "I am sure a lot of girls have a crush on you in the company."
"What are you trying to imply now?" Francis asked with a raised bro
Rhianne was about to turn around when someone called her name. Before she can turn her head, a pair of slender arms suddenly wrapped around her body. "Who..." "I finally found you!" Rhianne unconsciously caught the weight of the person who hugged her and the milkshake slipped from her hands. The person who suddenly embraced her is a petite woman with short hair. The petite woman buried her face on her shoulder and it seems like she was crying. Rhianne was flabbergasted. She does not have any idea who is that woman hugging her. When she tried to release herself from the embrace, the woman tightened her arms around her waist. Rhianne also confirmed that the woman is crying because her shirt Is already soaked with her tears. "Uhmm... Excuse me, miss? Ugh..." "You...You are Rhianne Cartel, right?" The woman asked in a muffled voice.
It has been three days since Rhianne met the female lead of this world, Canndice Dy. Compared to what she is expecting about the appearance of the female lead, nothing abnormal happened. She is still doing her usual routine every day. But there was another thing that changed in her daily schedule. "Rhianne, I think the color purple is more suitable than blue." "The base color of her painting is yellow. Blue is more suitable than purple." "Why are you trying to change Rhianne's mind? Can't you see she is looking at the purple paint before you came here?" "I guess you have poor eyesight. She is obviously looking at the blue paint." "..." Right now, Rhianne is buying more acrylic paint to use for her project in art class. While shopping, she did not expect Candice to be also a part-timer worker in the art
Rhianne had a busy morning that day. They had two long quizzes that morning, one group activity, and individual research activity that she needed to pass before the day ends. After finishing their group activity, Rhianne rushed to the library to find the books she needed for references and finish her report papers on time. But unfortunately for her, the library is currently full of students. After looking at the books she needed, Rhianne scanned the whole library again trying to find a vacant seat. While quietly looking around the library, a cheerful voice called her name. "Rhianne, here! We have a vacant seat here for you!" That cheerful voice is loud enough to attract every students' attention towards them. Some of the students glared at the man who calls her and he made a quiet apology to them. When she turned her head, she saw an energetic young man waving his hand in the air to catch her attention. Keith is sitting
While the student inside the library is busy doing their assignments or research papers and Hansel is playing games on his phone, Keith's focus did not leave Rhianne's face. She is currently writing the answers she found on the thick book beside her. While looking at her, Keith suddenly remembered what happened two years ago on the day of his birthday. After spending and having a birthday dinner with his family, he specifically asked Rhianne to end his birthday by riding a Ferris wheel. Of course, Rhianne gladly joined him. They visited an amusement park owned by Keith's family. It turns out he already made preparation so they ride the Ferris wheel at midnight. Rhianne was very excited that night. It was rare for her to go to this kind of place in her last life because she was trying to save money as much as she can. Rhianne heard from her classmates before that in case she can visit an amusement park, ri
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
