Chapter 285: Collapsed
At Lua’s Mansion
Mr. Lua creased his forehead at Cali. "Why don’t you ask one of our men to get that instead?" he exclaimed because Cali told him to go to the venue first since she needed to do a stopover.
"Don’t worry grandpa, I won’t be that late okay. You go first and tell Dion that I’ll be there soon. I want to personally check my gift for him so please go now alright. I’ll be there soon following behind you." Cali insisted and gave her grandfather one last smile with a pose and asked, "Before you leave, how about you comment first on how your granddaughter looks?"
Mr. Lua shook his head and said, "You look perfect my dear. Dion is definitely lucky. Okay I’ll go ahead now and make sure you are there in time. You know how the traffic at Dami Bridge can be and how slow the car will run at times there." Cali nodded with a wink.
To be honest, she had a gift both for Dion and Rizie so she wanted to go to the party in a separate car instead of going with her grandfather. Besides, she was even contemplating whether to attend the party at all or not, as she had a feeling that her grandfather had schemed something regarding the relationship of Dion and her at that party and that was a major factor for her to hesitate.
She had already warned Dion and Rizie about it but the couple was still in disagreement. Dion wanted to stop the act while Rizie insisted to continue saying they could stop it once they achieved something out of it. Rizie seemed to be ready to go all out with the plan.
Cali released a frustrated sigh as she went inside the car. She was touched by how Rizie put so much trust in her or maybe Rizie was just overly confident about Dion’s feelings towards her. She was sure Dion would not fall for her but no one knew what the future held, and this act was going to stretch for a few more months if not brought to a stop soon. But of course, she herself was confident about seeing Dion with a brotherly feeling only and nothing more.
Cali went to pick her gift and after that stop over decided to be on her way to the party. She creased her forehead when the car slowed down. "What was that?" Cali asked her driver as she looked out the window. Vehicles were slowing down in different lanes as they crossed Dami’s Bridge.
"I’m not sure I missed it. Maybe it’s just simple traffic. This bridge is well known for one of the busiest areas in the city... the government should do something about it already." Cali’s driver commented.
