Chapter 244: The Party (1/2)

TING TONG TING

The doorbell rang at around 10 am. Alex and Hannah were in the kitchen and had just started to cook. They had finished making a few side dishes but the main dishes were still remaining.

”Who is that?” Alex asked.

”I… don't know. It's barely 10 am. There's still an hour before the guests should be arriving. I wonder who it is,” Hannah said and walked to the door.

She looked at the footage from outside of her door and after seeing who it was, she quickly opened the door.

”Hey, Hannah!!” Sarah said with a big smile and immediately hugged her with a few bags in her hand.

”Hello.” Emily walked in from behind Sarah.

”Hey! Why are you guys so early? Did I give the wrong time on my message?” Hannah asked.

”Oh no. We thought that you guys might need some hand in getting everything ready, so we came to help,” Sarah said.

”Oh thank you so much. I don't know if we need it, but a few extra hands never hurt anybody,” Hannah said with a smile and looked at Emily as she said, ” Thanks for coming too, Emily. Both Alex and I really appreciate it.”

Emily made a meek little nod and said nothing.

”Haha, it was Emily's idea to come help in the first place. I was fully ready to come on time, but she made me come help,” Sarah said.

”Oh,” Hannah said with a surprise.

Emily quickly pinched Sarah on the side, clearly not enjoying the attention. Sarah just said 'ow' a few times and jumped to the side.

”Haha, here. We brought you guys a housewarming gift,” Sarah said as she handed Hannah the bags.

Hannah smiled and took it as she said, ”Thank you, we really appreciate the both of you coming here today. Come on in.” Hannah took them inside their home.

Sarah and Emily walked in and were immediately shocked at the utter size of the place. ”Woah,” Sarah said as she looked at the place that looked like it was meant to house a millionaire.

”Damn, you guys own this place or rent it?” Sarah asked.

”We rent it. My parents are from the North and Alex is from the south, so we are here temporarily for at least a while,” Hannah said.

”Still, this is an amazing crib. How much does it cost monthly? I assume it's something like 4000 dollars right?” Sarah asked.

Emily was a little surprised when she heard the price.

Hannah gave a smug smile and said, ”It costs 10,000 dollars a month.”

Both Sarah and Emily's jaw dropped in surprise. ”Wait wait wait, you are pulling my leg, right? We have the exact same amount of space back in our place and it costs 2000$.”

”I know this is better furnished and in a better building, but… isn't 10,000 dollars a lot?” Sarah asked.

”Oh, that's probably because we don't have the same space,” Hannah said.
