THIRD POV

The students were still wondering who were the men in suits that crashed into the party. Tournaments from various sports have already started, and everyone was busy, including Sam. She was sitting in the lounging area as she waited for her plane to arrive.

After what happened back at the party, Sam got an earful talk from Ally for showing such an attitude. Her grandma, Rin's mother, cancelled her flight because of some issues in the household. As much as her grandma wanted to see Sam, she can't easily leave the household since she was the elder. So instead of the older woman flying to LA, Sam took the chance to visit her grandma since she'll be having a business meeting with Rin.

"Miss, the plane is here", one of the bodyguards inform Sam. She stood from her seat as she let herself be escorted towards the plane. She was still grounded because of her actions, and that means no parties for a while. She might go out but under the strict supervision of the girls, well, mostly by Ally.

Once they were inside the plane, Sam closed her eyes, knowing that it would be a long flight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She felt someone shaking her up, and it was the flight attendant. She was informed that the plane has already landed. A black Hummer was waiting outside with many guards surrounding it. She surely knew that it was the work of her grandmother. Despite old age, she knew everything that happens around her because she's well informed of everyone's activities, including Sam's uncle.

"Welcome back to London, miss", the flight attendant greeted with a polite smile. She returned the gesture and got down on the plane. The drive towards her grandmother's mansion was already tiring her out, but she knew once she stepped inside the mansion, she'll get another lecture—this time from her grandmother.

"Miss, we already arrived", the driver informed her, and someone opened the door for her.

She got out of the car. The maid informed the whereabouts of her grandmother and immediately headed there to greet her. Walking down the familiar steps. It reminded them of her childhood. Passing through the hallways, she knocked on a door and waited for someone to reply before coming in. The door swung open and immediately was greeted by a man in a tailored suit.

"Welcome back, Miss", the butler greeted with a smile. She nodded her head, and she was escorted immediately inside towards her grandmother.

Despite at the age of 80, Chiyo Nakamura is still living an active life as the head of the household of the Nakamura. Sam bowed at the elder who was sitting on the desk.

[A/N: When Italicized, they're speaking in Japanese. Sorry that I can't translate well. HAHAHAHA]

"Grandma, I have arrived," she said with a small smile. Her grandma stood up and greeted her granddaughter with a hug. Sam reciprocated the action and felt relieved.

"Welcome back, Sam. How was your flight?" She asked as she pointed on the sofa to her seat.

"Tiring, but I just came here to greet you, grandmother. I still need to meet with mom at the company," she said with a sad smile. "But don't worry, I'll return here as soon as I finished the meeting," she said and kissed the older woman on the cheek.

"I'll be waiting then. I still need to talk to you about what I heard in LA," she said in a stern voice.

Sam flinched at the thought. I thought grandma would forget about it, she said to herself. She bowed once again before leaving the room. As soon as the car left the estate, her phone rang.
