Chapter 4 New Phone

Bettany is trying her new bought dresses in the mirror. I'm in her room, sitting on her bed. It's not as big as mine but it's nice and organized. She also has a walk-in closet full of clothes, bags, and shoes.

"Come on Bett. Who is that man? Why is he mad at me? What did I do to him?" I asked.

"Georg. It's not important."

"You said you want me to remember. And I can't have this same interaction with people every time I go out. I need to know." I debated.

"He's just someone you like before."

Like? Not ex-boyfriend?

"I guess. look at him! He's gorgeous." I commented honestly while remembering him in my head.

"Georgina!" She screamed and glared at me

She put her dress down and sit on the bed with me.

"You can't get involved with that man again. Do you hear me?" She said in a serious tone.

"He's mad at me and he even banned me to the mall. How can I get involved with him? Can you just at least explain why?"

She released an exhilarating breath.

"Well. You went to the same university. You're a popular girl back then and got into a relationship with almost all of the popular boys there except.. him. He kinda likes this girl. You got jealous and made ways to keep them apart. After you graduate, you tried to get closer to him by applying for a job in Louxem. He was also training. You used our parent's connection. Our parents are kinda close to his parents. You were crazy about him and follow him around. He almost filed a restraining order if I didn't intervene. Our parents don't know about this."

That makes sense. So I'm not an ex-girlfriend but a crazy stalker.

"Oh, God. I did those things? I'm an awful person. That's why he's mad."

"Georg, you were young and immature."

I went into my room and look at the girl in the big frame.

What kind of person are you?

Bettany also said that Gin Louxem is now the CEO of the Louxem valley mall chains after his father passed it unto him last year and he managed it pretty well. He's very rich at the young age of 26 and very attractive. Bad thing, he hates me.

I went back to Bettany's room to get the sandals I bought. I was about to knock when I heard Mom and Bett talking.

"Pregnant?" My mom asked sounding mad.

"Yes. That's what the rumors say. That's why we need her to get out more so people can see her." Bett answered.

"How can they say that about her when she was fighting for her life?"

"They don't know that Mom. We need to stop the rumors."

Are they talking about me? Pregnant?

"Is it safe? We still don't know what happened to her." Mom uttered in an anxious tone.

"We can't keep her here forever."

I went back to my room and lay down.

I got into an accident 7 months ago. Went into a coma for almost 6 months and no one except my family visited me in the hospital when I woke up. No friend visited the house. I don't have friends or they didn't know what happened to me. I don't even have a phone yet. I should have bought one yesterday.

"Where's my phone?" I asked Mom the next morning. She's preparing breakfast with the maids.

"You lost it when you got into the accident." She answered.

"I need a new one."

"I'll ask Bett to get you one after her work."

"I'll just buy myself."

Mom stop what she's doing and looked at me.

"I'll be fine. Simon will come with me." I added.

"I'll come with you." She said.

"No. You don't have to. You said last night you're going with dad to work."

"Georgina.."

"Mom, trust me. I'll be fine." I said.

She looks shocked.

"What?" I asked concerned.

"You called me 'Mom' for the first time after you woke up." She said. She smiles at me.

I kinda get used to the thought that they're my parents though I still feel a little bit awkward at times.

"You can go but please stay close to Simon."

"I will," I said then smiled back at her.

After breakfast, Simon drove me to the mall. Not the Louxem one since I was banned there. I went to the other mall, the Vergara.

Simon followed me inside. We went to the mobile tech shop and bought one I like.

"Miss, are you sure you want that one?" Simon asked me when I'm about to pay for it.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"My phone is kinda better than that." He answered. I don't know if he's joking but I just laugh.

"But I like this one and it's cheaper compared to the other models."

He smiled.

After I bought my phone we went to a pizza parlor for snacks. While waiting for my order I check my new phone.

"This is nice. And the camera, it's so clear. Let me take a picture of you."

He smiled shyly as I shot him.

"Look at that. You look really good here. I took a nice shot."

I showed him the picture and he smiled. More like laughing.

"What's funny? You look good here." I said.

"Georgina?" Said a familiar voice.

I look up and saw Gin standing looking down at me.

Oh my? How many malls does he own?
