Chapter 2

"Driver!?"

"Fucking handsome driver!"

I hit my legs on my bed in disperse and astonishment, how could a driver be so handsome and have strong aura.

I don't need a damn driver in my life. I mean, I deserve a little bit of fairy tale too.

I have lot of WiFi subscription both on my phone and laptop but I'm hungry. My devices enjoy more than me isn't that stupidity.

I walked into the kitchen that had mini dining in it and rechecked my cupboard.

Yes, God must have sent the angels to gift me some manna. Who knows?

Pew! The cupboard had only flour, sugar, one pack of biscuit and a lettuce. As hungry as I'm, I took the pack of cadbury biscuit and walk back to my living room.

Taking a slate of the biscuit, I scroll on my phone checking out the latest Wattpad books.

Yes, I love novels. After hearing the success of Float which I've read a million times, I just couldn't contend with my ambition for reading.

I have read the collections of Tamara Lush, books by Crossroads and even the current The Below Queen but I need something new.

I want to forget about my poverty striken life, still on my thought a notification pops into my phone.

New Wattpad Novel.

"Eat Me?" I chew my biscuit as I glance at the book cover wondering what the book holds as the name was so tempting.

I dived into the book reading carefully and taking out time to vote on each chapters. Woa! I must admit the book was so great that I didn't realized the clock was ticking.

New Wattpad Novel.

Another notification pops in as soon as I chewed the last slate of my biscuit then I came back to life.

"My life seem more better than that of Amber. At least I'm not a maid or owing huge debt" I exhaled.

Thank goodness the novel was marked completed thus I added it to my library and was about turning off my data when I saw another notification.

Through My Window is OUT on NetFlix.

"Woah!" I jumped out from the couch dancing in excitement as the biscuit pack fall on the floor, I didn't care, I immediately click into NetFlix.

I have been waiting for this movie for ages.

Being indoors watching the wonderful movie did help as I forgot about my problems and even growling stomach.

I checked the wall clock and it was already evening thus I changed into my cool evening wears of black joggers and blue hoddie, slide my phone into my pocket and left my room locking the door from behind.

"Thank goodness I didn't miss the van" I chirp as the dustbin men took my waste and ride away, I walked back into the estate.

"Hey!"

"Do you live here?" A pleasant voice called from the next room closer to mine.

"Oh, she's the neighbor".

"Cute indeed" I smirked slyly at my thought and nod my head, I beacon to open my room.

"Can you do me a favor?" my new neighbor asked politely and I raised a brow.

"Help snap me some pictures" she pleaded as if she was dying, I fell for it and took on her phone.

It was a brand new iphone 13 Pro Max, my dream phone! I didn't over react, I just waved at her to strike a pose.

"Hey babe!"

"I just arrived in NY, I'm so happy".

"But I miss you so much already. When will you be coming?"

"I can't wait to have you around. Take warm coffee, warm bath, fresh meals and think about me in your slight free moment".

"I love you so much babe, you're the best baby!"

Smile and blushes covered her face as she did the video, she asked for pictures why video?

I just didn't know how to react but I quietly watched as she snuggle over the camera expressing her feeling to some .... scum that may dumb her.

Then, my eyes fall on her fingers and I remain stunned.

"She's engaged?" I was so lost that I didn't know when she had walk closer to me asking for her phone.

"I... emm" I nervously handed her phone back to her, she collected it with broad smile on her face.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she starts going through some messages on her phone, she looked rich though.

"Yes. I'm" I said as I tried to walk back to my portion but she called me back.

"I'm Jennifer Aniston".

"Call me Jenny" Jennifer as she called herself stretch out her hand which I assumed was for handshake.

"I'm Eliora" as I received her hand with small smile on my face, my stomach growled.

Not just normal growling, it growled so loud that Jennifer smirked and I remained mute.

What a disgraceful disgrace.

I cursed under my breathe.

"Are you hungry?" She asked.

"I have some packs of sausages, baked bread, cakes, fruits...." She continue listing the food I guess she had in her kitchen and, I salivated stylishly not to draw her attention and clear my throat.

"Actually... I'm full and still have lot of noodles if hungry" I said courageously with a pretentious smile.

"Ohh" She nods but before she could speak, I hastily walked into my room, I heard her exhaled.

"Lie".

"Lie".

"Lie".

"When did I buy noodles? So proud! I could have just said, yes I'm hungry".

"Eliora... you're really dumb" I laid flat on my bed muttering regretful to myself.

She must have lot of sumptuous meals... why did I say no? It seems I enjoy living like a beggar and hungry fool. I just couldn't believe that I'm sleeping with an empty stomach....again.

Was I being chased by some beast? I didn't care as I rushed out of my room locking the door in a hurry, Jennifer cast a glance at me but I just faked a smile and runaway.

Its freaking 8:30am and Madam Jennifer is taking videos and pictures, is her husband-to-be some kind of greek god that she needs to update him every minute or she's a celebrity?

Someone should ask what the hell is my fucking business.

Running in the hallway with my colleagues, I didn't bother to say hi to anyone as I minded my business.

The lecture hall was in full chatter, ladies discussing about the latest dior products, males discussing about how their football club had won and lost matches of last weekend while I bury my face on my phone.

I checked on the latest video on TikTok, viewed Tamara Lush book promotion post on Instagram and the trending After Ever Happy movie coming out soon, it lightened up my mood and soon our course lecturer comes into the hall and everyone fell silent while I sleep my phone.

The class ended uneventful and I walked down the bustling hallway heading home. The hallway had posters of latest school activities, clubs and other trending school news, I just glance at them bit by bit as I walked down in silence.

"Hi" someone tapped me softly from behind and I turned.

"Hi".

When did someone notice me?

I thought with my eyes on her full of anxiety.

"You're pretty. How about joining the cheerleading team this year?" the bold looking fair lady asked politely.

"I accept the compliment but I'm in my final year" with this, I put my earpiece on my ear and move along.

Actually, 'poor hungry final year student'.

My mind reminded me, I only smirked.

"Thank goodness the university is close to my estate else I'll have to cut off classes" I walked into the estate and saw Mrs. Margret and Mr. Desmond sitting in their terrace.

"Good evening Ma".

"Good evening Mr. Dessy" I greeted them so loud that even Mr. Desmond laughed from where he sat.

"Welcome" they responded while I proceed deeper into my section.

My door was wide open and I remain speechlessly confused.

"Who the fuck opened my room?" I yelled angrily as I hurriedly approach my room and instantly Jennifer rushes out of her apartment.

She? This can never be better. What does she want!?

"Liora" Jennifer called me rather too nice than our first day and I turned to her.

"What happened here?" I asked politely trying not to let my anger get the best of me.

"You left so fast this morning leaving your door open, I couldn't call you back" Jennifer explained.

"Ohh... I never thought that would be the case" I stuttered towards my stupidity.

"Where did you leave to?"

"Boyfriend issue?" Jennifer asked following me into my room.

Who invited this bitch in?!

I thought angrily but didn't know how to react, I just sighed.

"School" I managed to say.

"What level? I graduated last year" I'm not having this conversation... not with her, why is she getting so clingy with me?

"Wait!"

"Is she a Les...?" I immediately shoot a bewildered frantic gaze at her.

"What... are you alright?" Jennifer asked lovingly. She's so nice but what does she want and will she just walk into someone's house uninvited?

"I'm in my finals" I said.

"You lied Liora" Jennifer said and I faced her anxiously.

"Where?" I asked.

"You've no food at home".

"How did you cope last night because your trash can is empty" Jennifer asked bluntly with concerned look and I tried my possible best to avoid her gaze.

This is another despicable disgrace.

Did she go checking on my things? What do I say to this.... strange neighbor?
