Chapter 1
She never imagined escaping her reality.
She has everything she wishes to have.
Wealth? Intelligence? Family? Talents?
Unlike those people in novels, she was born lucky without any ounce of misfortunes. Therefore, she doesn't have any reasons to leave those things when she has every reason to stay.
Annie lifted her head from being buried from the study table showing her tired and sleepy almond brown eyes.
Annie Hemington
Oh, it's just you *husky and cold voice*
Lucy De Chavez
How mean! I was gone for three months you know?
Annie look at her watch and answered.
Annie Hemington
Look at the time. So early for you to sprout nonsense into my house...*groan*
Lucy narrowed her eyes at her, they have known each other since they were six, and she can say that it's Annie's habit to speak that way. Of course, What do you expect from two wealthy people?
Lucy De Chavez
Anyway did you read the story that I told you to read before I left last time?
Lucy asked and look at her with her chin on the top of her palm.
Annie who doesn't look like she wants to listen because her eyes were focused on the laptop screen in front of her reply.
Annie Hemington
I finished it two months ago, now I don't even remember what the protagonist names.
Lucy De Chavez
Then how was it? Did you like it? *excitedly*
She wants to hear her comment because if it is Annie her judgment will always be blunt and honest, and it will not be surprising if her word is a bit harsh
And… Now she didn't expect her to be straight to the point
Lucy De Chavez
Why? I thought that it's good that's why I recommend it to you! *whine*
Annie Hemington
The plot is not bad actually
Annie Hemington
The protagonist is too stupid and dense, she cries all the time. I hate her. The prince is dumb because he chooses her commoner over a powerful duke's daughter who is also dumb because she was obsessed with the useless thing like the male lead who I also hate because he thinks of the protagonist as an angel when she only knows how to throw herself in danger.
Lucy De Chavez
But Demi's magic is Divine! Of course, her personality would be gentle! And the prince prioritized a good heart over the antagonist's wealth! *shout in protest*
For a short period of time Lucy remembered, Annie is a very zero romantic that she reached the age of nineteen without having a boyfriend or even crushing on someone.
Which is also her fault because she is the one who recommended her first romance book where the male lead is a trashy womanizer. The poor Annie was traumatized when she was only ten years old and swore not to trust good-looking boys ever again. That's why she doesn't know how romance works.
Annie Hemington
I like how the Duke's daughter is an ' I can do anything I want.' type of girl. Cause that's basically true. If only she applied that on better things instead of chasing the male lead because she wanted to.
Lucy De Chavez
Did you finish it? *curious*
Annie Hemington
No. I stopped after the main villain died.
Lucy De Chavez
You missed the most exciting part you know?!
Annie Hemington
Whatever you say * non chant*
Lucy De Chavez
Ugh, I'm hungry. Can you cook for me? Please? *puppy eyes*
Annie Hemington
I told you to not skip your breakfast *nag*
Lucy De Chavez
*giggle* you act like a mom so often, can you adopt me?
Annie Hemington
Gross, I like kids, leave me alone.
Lucy De Chavez
Yeah, right. Those grade school kids in my neighborhood like playing with you. *roll eye*
Annie Hemington
Shut up, I'll go now to buy some ingredients. Go away *sigh and frown in defeat*
Lucy De Chavez
YAY! Free Breakfast! *shout in joy*
She grabbed her phone and purse and, followed her friend who didn't protest
Annie who's been living alone since her fifteenth birthday and accustomed to Lucy visiting her everyday whenever they don't have class.
Lucy De Chavez
So, what did you do during summer vacation? *curious*
Annie Hemington
Nothing special. I ate, slept and worked on the device that I was developing before you left, I finished it a month ago and started rebuilding and upgrading my grandpa's walkie-talkies. In exchange for giving me these old things, he made me come to his training center every weekend.
Lucy's sweat dropped. As expected, she didn't leave her cave while she was away.
Lucy De Chavez
Auntie Annika didn't plan any trips?
Annie Hemington
She did, but it only lasted for a week, dad is also busy. I'm also busy, all of us are busy, How about you?
Ok Lucy stopped in her tracks after hearing Annie's question. She looked down and was silent for a while. Annie took notice of her action and also stopped walking to wait for her answers.
Unlike her friend, Lucy has a complicated background. She came from a male oriented family and was abused ever since she was a child, she was always alone until she received a scholarship to study in France when she was a kid. And everything changed when she met the savior of her life. That was Annie.
