Chapter 8

Elyana's POV

It was a scorching morning when I woke up the next day—still surprised by the new atmosphere and weather. I still thought about the delicious dinner I had that night that I first thought was just a dream. I ate a lot, though. I even forgot the proper table etiquette because I ate giant oysters and lobsters with my bare hands. Filipino food has a unique taste. Even some kinds of seafood I missed the taste. I hope Mom’s newly hired maids wouldn’t spread the word about what happened last night because it was embarrassing. For sure, they had been thinking I looked like I didn’t eat for days.

It was 10:00 am when I woke up, that was why it was already hot. I didn’t turn on the air conditioner when I went to bed because I was already tired. My whole body was dripping with sweat with the humidity. I was awake, but my spirit was still asleep. I stayed lying down even though I was already sweating, but when I suddenly remembered my plan for the day, I got up.
