She Was 18 7 Chapter 6

She was completely surrounded by darkness when she woke up. She was exhausted with all the cleaning she did today so she went up to the newly cleaned guest room adjacent to the master's bedroom took a quick shower and laid down the soft bed to rest. There were six rooms in this mansion and the 2 rooms they were occupying were among the biggest. She must have exhausted all her energy cleaning and crying because she did not know when she dozed off.

She blinked as she adjusted her sight to the darkness enveloping the room she is in. After a few minutes, she slowly got up from bed and walked towards the door. She slowly opened the door and as she was closing the door behind her, she noticed some paper bags and boxes on the floor. She frowned before she bent and took the bags. A card on one of the bags caught her eye. On it were written a short message:

"Here are some things you can use while here. Hope you like them. -B"

That's when she remembered that she was only able to bring a few stuff with her which were the things she brought from her home to the hotel where she stayed. She went back to her room, turned the lights on as she looked into what's in each bag. She found bags of branded dresses, home s.h.i.+rts and shorts, and even a pair of house slippers. All of which were exactly her size! She was admiring the clothes as those were the same exact clothing she was trying to buy the day she discovered her credit card was blocked. That's when she remembered that she was also supposed to buy underwears and some lingerie for herself. She blushed as she checked each bag but was relieved when she saw that they weren't there. As if she remembered something she took her phone and dialed a number.

"h.e.l.lo Babe," the man replied. His name is Ronald Han of Han Intimates. He is her bestfriend since middle school. They've met and became close when she found him being beaten by the boys in their cla.s.s one day. She has always been envied by other girls at school because of her beauty and family background so she didn't have girlfriends. So meeting a gay friend was a blessing for her. They became best of friends and when the latter became a lingerie designer, she helped him boost his business by becoming his model.

"Hi Babe. I need your help," she replied. "Dad cut off his support so I'm broke. Couldn't pack my things at home so I need undergarments."

"No problem. I have a meeting with my suppliers today so I'm bringing it tomorrow afternoon. Where are you staying by the way?"

"My grandpa's old home." She was suddenly reminded that it wasn't her grandpa's anymore. "I mean, I asked to stay with the new owner of my grandpa's old home. Luckily, he was someone I know so he agreed."

"Okay. Will bring it for you. Stay where you are. If things gets worse, let me know I will pick you up." Was it a guy she's staying with? A thought came to him. She is not someone to ask favor from any guy except him. Well, he isn't exactly a guy. He loved him like his own sister so he is very protective of her when it came to guys who wanted to take advantage of her. He isn't the bullied child anymore. He will protect her just like how she protected him from their cla.s.smates before. He hung up after saying that the meeting was about to start.

The smile that she wore while talking with him disappeared as she threw her phone onto the bed. Then hurried down when she felt her stomach growl.
