Damn!
Strong hands!
She's so sure those hands could easily break objects into two.
"Same here" Tom said.
"I know you do a good job in protecting Ivory" Irene said.
"I'm trying my best. Ivory is my friend and I'll make sure no harm comes to her" Tom said.
"He has been my personal bodyguard for three years now and has saved me from being kidn*pped multiple times" Ivory said.
"Oh..my! Really?" Irene asked.
"Yeah" ivory said and Irene could see why Harold entrusted ivory to him.
She's still worried that Harold hadn't responded to her greetings.
Even if he was pissed by someone,he should have responded to her greetings. She wasn't the one who pissed him of.
"Meet Eric too, my chauffeur" ivory said.
"Hi Eric" Irene said.
"Hi Irene, welcome to Ivory's world" Eric said,focused on driving.
"Thank you" Irene smiled.
"We're almost at my school" Ivory said excitedly.
"Really?" Irene asked.
"Yeah" ivory said putting her iPad back in her bag.
She slipped on her school bag as the driver drove into a wide opened gate.
Tom got down to open the door for them and they both alighted.
Irene marveled at the sight of Ivory's school.
Looking at it alone would have told you it's a NO! for the poor.
Students alighted from different posh cars.
Securities were everywhere and the students looked well organized as they walked into a passageway.
The structure is just...
Wow!
The outer part had left her speechless, and she wondered what the inner part would do to her.
"I'm gonna go with you to your class right?" She asked Ivory.
"No, you don't have to. Tom will" Ivory said.
"Ohh..okay" Irene said and sat back in the car as she watched them leave.
She sighed, watching the students admiringly.
Everyone sure has different childhood.
"Hi" Eric jolted her out of her thoughts.
"Hey" she responded.
"You feeling bored?"
"Not really" Irene smiled.
"Should i tune in some beats?" He asked and Irene shrugged.
She's not much of a music person.
Eric started playing a soft music and Irene allowed her mind to wander away.
**
They got home and she and Tom alighted from the car while Eric drove into the garage.
"See you later" Tom said, walking away.
"Yeah" Irene replied, walking to the door.
She missed her Mum.
She wondered what she'll be doing now.
Probably knitting.
"Hey, you're back" Nola said to her as she walked into the living room.
"Yeah"
"Your luggage has been taken to your room already,so come with me,let me show you to your room"
"Ohh... okay" Irene said anxiously, walking behind Nola.
She's gonna accept any room given to her but she loves it when a room is cozy.
After they climbed the stairs, Nola stopped by the door right after ivory's.
"This is your room" She said handing Irene the key.
"Thank you" Irene said, inserting the key into the lock.
The door opened and Irene took in a breath before stepping in..
The coziness of the room embraced her first.
The room was well furnished and the well spread bed looks so soft and inviting, there's a bedside table and a lamp.
The floor is tiled but there's a colourful round rug placed in the middle.
She has a dressing chair and a table! With an oval mirror before it.
The size of the wardrobe looks just so right for the room.
The curtain matched with the color of the center rug and the wall painted with a cool brown totally matched with all the furnitures.
The open window allowed rays of sunshine and everything looks just so beautiful.
"I hope you like your room?" Nola asked.
"I totally love it" Irene grinned.
"Im glad you do, that's the door to the bathroom and that's the door connecting to Ivory's room" Nola said.
"Ohh.. okay"
"Fine then, I'll leave you now and once you're fully settled, come meet me so I'll introduce you to others and also show you round the building" Nola said.
"Okay Nola, thanks so much" Irene said.
Nola smiled as she walked out of the door.
Irene walked towards the door adjoining Ivory's room, she pulled it open and there was ivory's room.
Wow!
