Romance With Mr Billionaire novel Chapter 8

The next morning,

I woke up to the sound of my alarm which I angrily turned off.

I sat up on the bed and itched my eyes, trying to get over the sleep.

Gosh! I still felt so dizzy.

I left the bed and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then, I went to the dining to check if breakfast was ready. I mean, I was starving.

As I climbed down the stairs approaching the dining, I saw someone already seated there.

Huh? Mum?

I furrowed my brows in surprise as I went closer. What's she still doing here? I mean, I can't find the last time I woke up and found her still at home.

"Mum...good morning" I greeted with surprise.

"Oh! Bethel; you're just in time to join me for breakfast. Come on" she said and I scoffed and took a seat, facing her.

She was already dressed up and it was obvious she'd be leaving any moment from bow.

She was putting on a white trouser suit with the upper buttons open, exposing her chest a little.

Well, my mum was a crazy fashion woman. She was very young and pretty and always dressed to kill.

If you weren't told I was yer daughter, you'd actually think we were sisters because of how young and hot was. I know of countless billionaires running crazy over her.

Well, the truth is; I'm proud having someone like her for a mother. The only problem is; she doesn't have time for me.

"By the way, Bethel" she said; breaking the brief silence.

"I want you to get ready in time cause we'll be going for Ryan's home - coming party tonight'.

I almost spilled tea from my mouth as it hit at me.

What?

"R...Ryan's home -coming party?" I shrieked.

"You mean we'll be going to the Winthorpe mansion?" I asked with disbelief and she nodded.

What?

"Why?" I asked abacked.

"And what do you mean why? I mean, everyone's wishing to be there. Shouldn't you feel lucky to be among the privileged?

"Anyway, Ryan's mum invited me, so I have to attend. And you're coming with me" she replied and took a bite from the bread toast.

"But mum..."

"What is wrong with you, Bethel? Why are you dragging it?" She asked with a stern look and I sighed and looked down at my food.

But I'm supposed to have a date with Jackson today

Immediately, her phone started ringing and she mute it after checking the caller.

"I'll be home to pick you by 6. Better don't keep me waiting" she said callously and stood up with her bag.

"I'll be on my way now" she added and started walking away while I just played pathetically with my food.

Why does she want me to go along with her to the party? What am I going to do with Jackson now?

After eating, I took my bath and got ready for school.

I still couldn't stop thinking about the whole thing.

On my way to class, I was interrupted by two boys who stood in front of me, smiling like cats.

"Hey B" one of them called and licked his lips.

I huffed and tried walking away but the second one held me back.

"Hey, hey, hey; chill okay? Um...Mawthie just wants us to deliver this letter to you" he said and proffered a piece of paper he was holding.

Gosh! I should've known.

"Well, tell him to go to hell" I said and starred walking away but turned back to look at them.

"And one piece of advice; I think it'd be best if you stopped being errand boys" I added and continued on my way.

Mawthie was the leader of the gangster here in Royal High and he's always been trying to get me on his side. But I guess his stupidity wouldn't let him see I can never agree to someone like him.

I walked into the class and met Nicole there already. She always comes to school before me.

"Hey B" she waved at me as I got to where she was.

The ABC girls were not in class. Perfect.

"Hi" I said blearily as I took my seat next to Nicole.

The class was kind of noisy as all the ladies were talking about Ryan's concert.

"Hey, are you okay? You look moody" Nicole stated with a grouch.

"Well, it's mum. She's such a kill Joy" I replied.

"Huh? What happened this time?"

"She wants me to go with her to Ryan's home coming party" I replied and she screamed.
