Chapter 025

VIENNA'S POV I just finished my class this afternoon and I was still affected by what Sebastian said. I don't know what he wanted to convey to me and I was surprised by what he said. Therese just left and Michelle came home earlier. I just got in my car and turned it on. I don't want to go home yet and I want to go to the shop first. After 40 minutes of driving, I arrived at my shop and I parked the car before I entered. "Good evening, Ms. Vienna," Brother Arnold greeted me, he was the shop's security guard. "Good evening too, brother," I greeted with a smile then I went inside. As usual, there are a lot of customers. Apart from cakes, we also sell milk tea, so that's what people visit here in the shop. "Good evening, Ms. Vienna," one of my staff greeted me. It's Sister Jessie, she has been working here for 2 years. "Good evening sister, how's the shop? Is it okay? Is Aunt Mhegan still coming here?" I asked once I put my bag on an empty chair. "Yes Ms. Vienna, Ma'am Mhegan came here yesterday. She just checked the missing stocks of ingredients and the ones she was delivering just arrived earlier. There's no problem here, everything is complete," she replied. "It's good then, starting tomorrow I'll go straight here to help you. And please tell her, I can handle everything here in my shop. I'm already here and I'll take care of everything. If there's a problem here, I'm the first one you need to tell and you don't need to tell her okay?" I seriously said. She can mind her own business, I'm already here and this is my shop. "Okay, Ms. Vienna." "Good, please serve me one milk tea. No nuts, sister." "Yes Ms. Vienna, wait a minute." I just sat down and took my notebook and pen. I will start making my project proposal, I will draft it first before I transfer it to my laptop. Sister Jessie served me the milk tea I asked for and I also drank it. Suddenly my phone vibrates on the table, I received a text from an unknown person. "You change a lot." It's short but meaningful, who did it come from? I looked at the customers but they were all busy. I looked outside but there was no one, I sense that this unknown person knows me. My heart is beating so fast. Who is this? *** About 7 pm I got home and that text was still in my mind. Even on the way until I got home, that's still what I was thinking. Only a few people know my number, my social media accounts are all private and how come someone else knows my number? I went to my room and sat on the bed immediately after I entered the house. I try to call the number but it's out of the coverage area. I also texted it but there's no reply. It's not a wrong send because if that's the case, I'll receive another text but nothing. Who the hell it is? I have no idea if it's a girl or a boy but I'm sure she/he knows me. Morning came, I took a shower and got dressed. I just wore denim pants and a plain shirt and I just also wore a pair of my sneakers. After that, I left the room with my bag and guitar. My brother had just come out of his room and no matter what else he wore, he was still handsome. "Why are you carrying a guitar? Tomorrow is the day for the clubs," he said when he saw me carrying a guitar. "I'll just leave it in the car so I don't forget it tomorrow," I replied. "Okay, are you leaving?" he asked, I nodded in response. "I'll go with you because I haven't cleaned my car yet." "Okay, you have to be thankful 'cause I'm in a good mood right now." "Even if you're in a good mood, you're not letting me join you in your car." I just rolled my eyes and left him. The two of us went downstairs and we found Mom and Uncle Lucas eating breakfast. "Are you leaving? Eat first Vince before you leave," said mom. "We're late mom, we'll just eat at the university. We're leaving," my brother replied. Lier! It's still early. But thanks to him, I still don't want to eat with them. I also got in the car and I decided that he will drive my car but I was just forced. "Have you talked to mom yet?" Suddenly he asked, we're on our way going to university. I shook my head in response. I'm not mad I just really don't want to talk to her. "I'm not in a mood to talk to her and I'm thinking a lot more. All I can hear from her was her dramas," I replied. "What are you thinking? About school? Love life? You don't have to worry about money, you have a lot of it." "Don't mind it, brother." "You've always been like that. Are you still my sister? Why can't you share your problems with me?" I didn't answer him, he can't help me either. "Why? Can you help me when I tell you?" "About what? How can I help you if you don't tell me?" I don't have to share it with him anymore because he can't help me. "Vienna, we won't get out of the car until you tell me," my brother said seriously. He's annoying, tsk! "It's about my past, okay? Are you happy now?" I answered irritably. "Vienna, I already tell you to just forget what happened before. You're the only one who will suffer if you continue that." "See? You can't help me. That's why I don't want to tell you because, in the end, no one will help me." "Vienna, I can't help you with that. If it has, I have already done it before and I would have helped you before. What else do you need to go back to your past?" "If you can't help me then fine! I don't need your help anyway." After that, I didn't speak until we arrived at the university. When he parked the car, I immediately took the key and got out. I also entered the gate first. He's annoying! Is he my brother? At least he would support me, I'll appreciate it but there's nothing.
