Chapter 93
DEMI
Mrs. Amber Regan’s home is a quaint radiance along the highbrow area called Alpha district, a gated community of pricey homes affordable only to the extremely rich.
According to her, her husband’s parents who are wealthy folks gifted them the home. Amber and her husband live in the duplex with their daughter Katherine and get visited frequently by their son Maddox.
"Please, make yourself at home. My daughter is out with a friend. I would have loved to introduce you." Amber tells me. I smile back and recline on the sofa, my feet angled towards the fragrant heat from the fireplace.
"I’ll surely come around again. I can’t wait to meet her."
My eyes dart around, admiring her home. I have been so spoiled by the opulence of the mansion and literally every building owned by the Rollins family that I have forgotten what beauty simplicity can hold.
"You have a beautiful home, Amber." I repeat, mirroring the warm smile on her face.
"Thank you. I’m not much of a decorator but Kat loves it. She tries to redecorate this home every time my back is turned but I always end up putting things back the way they were, especially here in the living room. This place holds a lot of memories for me and I feel like redecorating will cause me to lose those memories."
"I can understand."
She smiles at me. "Your mother usually paid me a visit. She loved that very spot on the sofa you’re sitting on right now. You remind me so much of her with your quiet curiosity and understated charm."
"Thank you. That’s really good to hear." I drop my juice and sit up. "Tell me more about her. What was she like at work? I never knew that side of her."
