THE CEO AND ME!-Chapter 11 - FAREWELL!!
I got kicked out of my own house.
If a day like that would have ever appeared in any of my wildest dream, I would have had thought of getting my own place that I would not have let daddy use to it to sell for later.
Now I was waiting outside, leaning on the gate as the bank people came and locked it saying it's their property from here on.
Looking back that place used to be my home, not anymore. I had nothing with me to pack either apart from my phone and the photos.
My dresses were taken away too including everything else so I had nothing with me.
The white old van stopped in front of me and in out came, Anna Maria. The old woman pulled me in for a hug immediately. I hugged her back too. She felt like close to home right then.
"My my child! How long have you been waiting outside, honey??"
She questioned accessing my body features for any disturbances or shit like that. She was like a true mother to me.
"No no...Anna Maria. It only had been like a couple of hours. "
I shook my head and replied to her. It was a lie though for some reason I did not like to see the sad and disappointing face this woman would make right after it because I was kicked out in the night itself.
After the men left, I broke in through the one French window in the backyard and remained there, sleepless, thinking and thinking.
I got outside right when the rays of sunlight hit the face of the earth because I did not want those cruel people to come back and humiliate me by throwing me out of the place once again.
Anna Maria narrowed her eyes at me trying to make me spill things out if I was lying which I was but I remained to act normal, trying to outsmart the old woman for once in my life.
Thanks to God, the horn of the van went out. We both turned our backs to see Madison, Anna Maria's only granddaughter, glaring at us both through the open window.
"I'm getting late for my job. So get in first and then carry on with your mini chit-chat. Unlike some, we have to work hard to live and eat. "
Madison let out with a sass. All of which was of course directed to me. I did not know why but Madison never liked me.
When she was small, Anna Maria used to bring her here as she would babysit me but we, both the girls never got along.
I tried a few times to befriend her but she just, I had and have no idea why but always hated me.
She would look at me in distaste and like her eyes would get so much narrow to the point it was clear that she hated my very presence.
"Common my child, let's go."
Anna Maria said, ignoring Madison's rude comment. She was sitting on the driver's seat, chewing away from the chewing gum without care.
I got in the passenger seat as Anna Maria sat in the front with Madison. Once we were all set, Madison started the engine and I had to bid a farewell to my home not anymore inside my restless mind.
Throughout the journey, I checked my phone for any texts from Josh. I knew that I should go to him but I did not want to just turn up to him when I had lost everything.
I had never been to Anna Maria's house. So I had no idea where we were heading to as I continued to look outside the glass window.
I remembered my life before this, I would not even give a damn about looking or checking the view out while my driver drove me around.
I would have been too busy posting stuff or racking my eyes through the online Gucci store, or any such thing on my phone's screen.
The van had no well-facilitated air conditioning system so it got hot inside. It was something unusual for me plus the seats were not comfortable either.
We took a u-turn and drove away from the main road into a neighborhood where houses were in close contact with each other.
The place itself would not be enough to have my whole closet fitted in. It was too small and I could not help but point that out in my head. I knew better than to speak it out loud and act like a snobby bitch.
The van stopped by a small apartment, painted in white, mini flower pots were styled along the border. They were all pink lilies.
I knew for one reason, it must have been Anna Maria for doing all of that. The old woman loved gardening.
"Those are pretty. You must have worked hard to keep them alive and beautiful. "
I said to Anna Maria once we got out, Madison went on to park the van by the side and got out and followed us a few seconds later.
"Those are not my hard work. Madison did it all. "
Anna Maria replied, smiling lovingly looking back at the flower pots which only made it hard for me to believe as to someone like as tough as Madison would do that. Unbelievable.
Anna Maria opened the door for the cosy house and stopped on her way to allow me first enter. I mouthed a sweet thank you and then got in without thinking twice.
The living room was the quarter size of our veranda. A small set of sofa and table was placed in between. It was joined with the dining hall and the kitchen, the next door.
I looked around trying very hard inside my head to stop comparing stuff with what I used to have before but it was very hard not to when you have lived your whole life like that.
"What?? Not up to your high profile standard??"
I heard Madison's voice asking me in a mocking tone.
