Chapter 12

On the next day, the three ladies, together, got out of the building after school. Andy already informed her friend Donna of what she'd gotten into.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Rina.

She turned towards her. "To my apartment. It's just a walking distance."

"Oh, but Erika brought her car and… we got our things inside and… we got to go buy some groceries."

"Oh, right."

Erika drove silently. She let Rina decide where to buy the groceries. They went straight to Andy's apartment right after buying everything they need.

"I've heard it's quiet expensive here." Rina said passively while looking around by the window.

Andy flinched but remained silent. Didn't her Dad said it's the cheapest apartment around?

"Andy, what does your parents do?" Rina suddenly asked as they were looking for parking.

That's a question Andy doesn't want to be asked.

"My father's an Engineer and my mom's an Accountant." She answered hesitatingly.

Good thing that Rina did not ask her further after a couple of nods.

Andy's apartment was on the seventh floor. Glancing at her companions in the back , she motioned them to come inside after unlocking the door.

What greeted them was an airy, bright and cheerful interior. The two visitors were standing rooted for a couple of seconds in surprise. Erika recovered earlier than Rina, and so she walked right to the couch and seated.

Rina on the other hand was still mesmerized. Holding a bag of groceries, with her jaw dropped, she went straight to the kitchen.

Andy was silently observing them. She also expected their reactions. She did not even bother them as both women were surveying the entire room with their gazes; especially Rina.

The entire room has a stylish hardwood flooring, a colored walls, upgraded lightings all throughout and a new wood interior blinds.

The living room has enough space to fit a sofa and two moveable couch fronting a 55" LED Tv. A piano at the left corner along with a guitar, violin and an ukulele standing on a rack, a few distance to the balcony.

The kitchen has a premium stainless steel appliances and ample counter and cupboards.

'Oh my God, what about the bedroom?' Rina thought.

"Did you somehow designed this?" She asked.

Andy shyly nodded. She can't lie about the obvious.

"Guess I will be in your care about our Project Proposal then." She grinned.
