Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âWho are you looking for?â Brandon asked, frowning.
The car slowly drove into the yard and parked. Even before entering the house, conversations from within the living room could be heard. It sounded pleasant, with occasional chuckles.
Upon entering the house, Arianna was startled to see her mother sitting on the sofa with Brittany beside her.
After a bit of hesitation, Arianna changed out of her shoes and walked over with a smile.â Mom, Iâm home. I didnât know Brittany was here!â
The way she greeted Brittany was warm and natural, as if nothing was wrong.
Eloise nodded with a smile. âBrittany has been here a while. She was just chatting with me. Sheâs such a wonderful girl. Look at you. God knows what youâre doing all day that you donât even have time to talk to your own mother.â
âIâve been occupied with all the things happening in the company recently. You know how busy Uncle Derrick has been. Iâm just doing what I can to help ease his burden!â She said playfully. âYeah, yeah, Youâre the only capable one here!â Eloise mocked and stood up. âNow that youâre here, entertain Brittany while I prepare some desserts for the two of you.â
âThanks, Mom!â Arianna leaned over to peck Eloise on the cheek before she sat down and looked at Brittany with a smile. âWhy didnât you call me if you were free?â
Brittany took a sip from the teacup and chuckled. âIf I did, would you have welcomed me?â
Although Ariannaâs eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, she still had a smile. âWhat are you talking about? Of course Iâd welcome you. Itâll be great if you can come over every day!
âReally?â Brittany slowly put down lier cup and looked up at Arianna. âItâs a pity then because Iâm afraid I wonât be able to come again anymore.â
âHuh? Why not?â
Arianna looked genuinely surprised, with disbelief written all over her face. It was as if she knew nothing about it at all. Looking at Ariannaâs face, Brittany was suddenly reminded of what Brandon had said and how he was right. She was naive. The person she called her friend was not as genuine as Brittany thought she was.
âDo you really have no idea?â Brittany tilted her head, and her fingers gently caressed the arm of the chair. âIâll be going abroad in two days, and I may not be coming back.â
âYouâre not coming back? Why? Where are you going? Whatâs with the sudden decision?â Arianna blurted a series of questions, seemingly worried about Brittanyâs situation.
Brittany questioned with a mocking laughi, âShouldnât you ask if I succeeded that day and what happened after? Arenât you curious if thereâs any good news?â
At this moment, the anxiety on Ariannaâs face faded a little as she pitifully said, âI was about to get to that. What happened the other day? Why were you with your brother? Did he ruin your plans? Itâs okay, donât be too discouraged by it. Thereâs always another chance!â
