[Ding! Do you want to sign in?]
Another day, another reward. Diamond bead as the system’s cold voice sounded in her ears.
Appearances were deceiving.
If she didn’t know this system, she would think it was this systematic. However, thinking of the tis when the system would scold her whenever she felt like she was lazy, she could only smile helplessly.
She was indeed fortunate.
Wasn’t she?
’Sign in!’ she responded as she wiped the sweat from her forehead during her morning jog.
[Ding! You have been rewarded with a Gesalsi snacks recipe book.]
’What?’ Diamond’s eyes lit up at hearing the reward for the day.
How did she chance upon sothing that great?
She had fallen in love with the food, so she planned to sell Gesalsi food products in her country. Who would have known that she would get a recipe book?
"Hehe, with this, I might as well open a restaurant!" she chuckled as she continued with her jog, a calculative glint flashing in her eyes.
It was another wonderful day for Diamond.
She arrived yesterday, got a good rest, shared the gifts with her family and now she was back in form.
With just a day until her birthday, Diamond’s day was going to be a busy one, actually.
She didn’t have ti to play around. There was so much for her to do, but first thing first, there was soone that she needed to visit; Dewei.
Her family had given her several food items and gifts. She needed to send those as soon as possible. That way, she could concentrate on her things.
After the morning jog, Diamond walked the last distance to her villa on foot, wiping her sweat while glancing around, and wondering if her neighbors were perhaps around.
Unfortunately, she didn’t see anyone. Maybe they were still sleeping or preparing for the day. After all, it was around six in the morning. Most people don’t usually co out of their houses around this ti.
Diamond returned ho and found Aunt Janet preparing breakfast already.
"Good morning, Miss!" Aunt Janet greeted warmly, a smile on her face as she glanced at Diamond.
Diamond waved at her as she answered the greeting, "Morning!" continuing with her journey.
Diamond didn’t see anyone else, but she knew that they were all awake.
Her parents were still going to work, and they all planned to leave together. Ruby would be going to school and Garnet going to work as well.
When she got to her room, she freshened up, rummaged through the new clothes she hadn’t got to organize yet, and picked a beautiful outfit from the ones she got from Gesalsi.
Diamond picked a pair of grey drawstring cargo pants, a white t-shirt with a cute fluffy cat at the front, and a pair of lightweight sneakers.
She picked a tote bag to go.
Once she was done styling herself, she picked a few necessities and added them to the tote bag.
Once done, she picked up the car keys for the car she planned on driving that day and headed downstairs.
When she got there, her parents, Ruby and Garnet were already seated at the table, with breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom, Dad, Ruby and Garnet!" with a cheerful tone, Diamond greeted everyone in the room, her eyes squinting into crescents, feeling too good that morning.
The four people greeted and returned the greetings enthusiastically, making Diamond feel even better.
With all of them gathered, the family was now complete.
Everyone was a fast eater, so it didn’t take long before breakfast was wiped clean and Aunt Janet was collecting the dirty dishes.
With breakfast eaten, it was ti for everyone to leave.
The most surprising thing that morning was how, from the sa house, five cars were seen driving out.
Ruby was heading to school, and her direction was completely different from where the others were going.
Garnet had things to do at the cafes, so she was on her own path later. As for her parents, her mother was heading to the foundation while her father had an appointnt elsewhere.
Lastly, Diamond needed to stop by the Gesalsi embassy. And that was another story.
As a result, everyone could only use their cars to go to their destinations.
When the convoy of expensive cars was driving from villa number 3 and heading towards the complex gates, the people that Diamond was curious about were leaving their hos as well.
Among those people were Cecilia, who hadn’t seen Diamond in a very long ti, and soone who Diamond hadn’t seen for a while, Kisha.
These two saw a certain car. They hadn’t seen much. They both had smiles on their faces as they both thought of the sa thing. ’She is back!’
anwhile, Diamond had no idea that two people were happy to see her. Or rather happy to know that they could now buy what they wanted from her after not getting anything for a long ti.
She was on the road, guarding the rear of her family convoy, driving a car she hadn’t driven much, the Dentley D15, the four-door and not the first Dentley she received when she was in Srad.
In the backseat were the gifts Dewei’s family had prepared for her. She had taken everything out of her storage ring and stashed them there.
She was looking forward to seeing Dewei and seeing the smile on her face once she saw what her family had prepared for her.
Honk.
Honk.
Honk.
Thirty minutes into driving and following each other, the three cars in front honked and Diamond smiled as she pressed her horn and another honk was heard as well.
’What a ss!’ she amused as she watched as the three cars turned, steering away from the main road.
They were parting already. Only Garnet and she remained on the main road.
Those three, they would et each other again later at ho. After all, they weren’t parting for good.
***
Thirty more minutes and Diamond was the only one remaining.
There was an hour or so before she reached the embassy. To avoid being bored, Diamond was engaged in a conversation with Andrea.
{Mother, when are the materials I wanted coming?} Andrea asked.
Diamond, upon hearing that, felt guilty as she recalled what her son was talking about. Nevertheless, she was the parent and Andrea the son, so how could she show her embarrassnt or show that she had forgotten about the matter altogether?
"We will get it when we go to Dielas," she smoothly responded.
After all, she had given the assignnt to the ghost rchant team. She hadn’t summoned them yet. If she summoned them now, they would appear where she was with what she had ordered them to bring.
She didn’t want to et them anywhere in Frin for now. In Dielas, it was safer. Besides, she could let them appear in the underground laboratory where Andrea’s babies were currently being repaired.
{Okay. But when are we going there?}
"I will see after I am done with everything this side. I still need to go and check the progress of the manor," she answered, rembering that the Radiance Manor was still under renovation.
It won’t be opened now, but pretty soon, she hoped.
Talking about the manor, if it wasn’t for Andrea, she might have forgotten about it again. Thank goodness Andrea did. Otherwise ...
