Chapter 398 Looks Are Deceiving

 Gracie point of view…..

My room has been set. The white lady had made sure to help me where necessary and it's got the taste of my room back in the woods. She had used her powers to get me things I could not afford as I am now and I am really grateful. I told her it was not necessary and she had brushed me off saying things I didn't get to hear and she had left afterwards.

  It was just me and Huddy now, who is lying on my bed sleeping. I was thinking of getting her her own bed or she could use mine, it's all left to me to decide.

I stood up and went out of the room to get water and coming back to my room, the door bell rang and went to get it to see Lucy smiling up at me.

  She jumped right inside.

"Wow, this is incredible, like for how long have you been coming here to get your place done like this? Look at these cushions, they are quite expensive. How did you? One seeing you, he or she would think you can't afford a glass cup."

  She said and I was like wow, is this how poor she thinks I am.

  "Looks are deceiving, don't underestimate someone because Of their looks."

I said and she sighed.

"I am really sorry for thinking that about you. This is a transformation. Your place looks so beautiful but that's not why I am here. I am taking you out for lunch and all the bills on me. Let me give you a treat as my new neighbor"

She said and I nodded my head. 

"No problem, let me change into something"

I said and turned to leave but she dragged me back.

  "Don't, you look perfectly fine. Let's go, I know this is still morning but I treating you to lunch and that's it"

She said and I gave up and locked my door when we got outside.

"Huddy darling, I will be back soon"

I said to myself, I hope she doesn't get worried about me

  I followed her to her car packed outside,it was a wine red Camry and classic. It's made me think she is from a rich home or she is making her own money. She is quite older than me, I guess.

  She pulled the door for me and soon, we were soaring on the highway. I know soaring is actually not the word to use but because I felt like it, I used the word. It never stated anywhere that you used that particular word for what it represents. I could create my own world and live it, it's my life not yours.

  "You see this place, it used to be an ancient hall but a few years back, Mr Ben Singh bought it and now they are converting it into an event hall."

Lucy said pointing at a big hall down the road.

  I shook my head when a blurry image appeared in my memory. I feel like I am connected to the hall, the blurry image went as soon as it came.

  "Who is Ben Singh?"

"I asked without putting the mister.

Wait, what? You don't know Mr Singh junior the wealthiest man in town who took after his father. The father is still much alive"

She explained.

  "Sorry I don't know, I came from another planet so I am not supposed to know all these things"

I simply told her, I don't want her bugging me with questions on why so giving her answer before she asks will prevent her from asking.

  "It's fine though, it's not everything we get to know. So tell me, how was growing up like?"

  She asked, still focusing on the starring.

"It was fun, with just mom and I. In fact I had the best childhood ever."

I replied and she looked at me.

"What about dad, you did not mention him?"

She asked

"He died before I was born."

I replied not thinking about it because each time I do, I always get emotional and getting emotional is the last thing on my mind right now.

"Oh, I am so sorry about it."

She said sadly then stared at the mark on my wrist.

  "The mark is beautiful, how did you get it?"

  She asked, still looking at me.

    "I don't know how I got it"

I said caressing the Mark and the next thing I heard Was a bang!.
