The Billionaire's Daughter
Chapter 7: Garden
I woke up from the incessant ringing of my cellphone and land line phone.
How Franco managed to make both phone lines ring was beyond me.
I chose to answer the cellphone since that was where his handsome face was flashing on the screen.
“Yeah? So early. . .”
“Wake up sleepy head! It’s five am! Get up and get ready! We have a long day today.”
“Aaaarrggghhh! Five am?! Really? Do you realize that all people are still asleep at five am!”
“Do you want me to remind you and sing happy birthday again? Come on get up. I have the entire day planned.”
“Fine!”
I tried to sleep again but I forgot he was still on the line. And he blew some kind of horn. The one used during new year.
“Alright alright! I’m getting up! Geez! So annoying!”
I was just whispering but I guess he heard since he was laughing at the other end of the line.
“Ill call you in an hour when I’m already at the bus stop. I changed my mind, you can bring your guards and driver with you. I don’t want you to get into trouble on your birthday.”
“Owwkaaay. . .” I was yawning when I answered him.
“You’re too cute for your own good. Now go shower birthday girl!”
“Yaah.”
At exactly six am we arrived at the bus stop. It was just four blocks away from our house and we found Franco waiting with two huge baskets and a large backpack.
I wonder what’s on those.
I got off the car to greet him but he just ignored me and whispered something to the driver and to the bodyguard. Since it was my birthday, they allowed me to bring only one guard today.
When he finally turned to me, he hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead.
“Happy Birthday Saphira!”
but I just tried to ignore it. I guess I was

“Come on get in.”
