"Garnet, what’s taking so long?" Ruby asked sulkily as she waited outside the terminal where Diamond was going to come out later.
Garnet felt her temples throbbing as she listened to Ruby. She had been asking this question for the umpteenth time and she had run out of words to say.
Indeed, it was taking a bit long, but who made her mistress cause a fuss upon return? Who made her too popular?
She had received a message from Andrea that they would be a bit late but never expected that the delay would last for an hour. Now Ruby was acting like a spoiled child.
"She should be coming. Let us wait patiently!" that’s all she could say at this point.
Ruby looked disappointedly at Garnet. How come she didn’t know anything?
Or maybe she knew but didn’t want to explain further. Then the question becomes, what was her sister doing at the airport for her to delay exiting and coming home with them?

The person in question, Diamond, was in the middle of finishing dealing with the customs issues.
Since she brought art pieces to the country, those two needed to be filed and whatnot.
As for her suitcases, they didn’t matter. After all, there were just clothes and nothing of greater importance there.
The painting and the vase delayed her a lot. However, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, from the moment she stepped out of the plane until now, the smile never left her face.
"You are our pride, you know!"
"Hehe, you have made a lot of people curious about us. Thank you!"
It seems that nearly everyone knew about her, and they couldn’t stop praising her. She who had started this internet thing in the first place to harvest love and attention from people, felt like she was walking on cloud nice.
She was in a good mood.
"Hehe, I am just doing what I love. I am glad to be of help to the city!" she sincerely said.
Frin wasn’t a big city, and it wasn’t that popular. If she could do something to make everyone remember what Frin was, then she would do everything to make it happen.
"You have a big heart. Keep up with the good work!" the staff cheered her.
Diamond didn’t stand on ceremony but accepted what was given to her.
After an hour of filing, the procedures were finally done.
She received her painting and the vase from the officers, and it was time to go.
Since her bags were a bit too many, the security helped her with it and she was grateful for their help.
On the way, Diamond chatted with the guards and laughed heartily all the way.
Those who knew her pointed excitedly at her while others took out their phones to record such a beautiful moment.
When Ruby and Garnet, who were worried about Diamond, spotted her. They both looked at each other, amazement in their eyes.
Just what was she doing?
Diamond didn’t know what her two sisters were thinking as all she could think about as she spoke her language was how nice it was to be back.
As they always say, ’home sweet home!’
While being escorted by the wonderful security guards, her eyes speedily scanned the people waiting for their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. She was curious as to who Garnet came with today.
Was it her sister or her parents?
Who came today?
As she was thinking that, she spotted Garnet and Ruby standing together and her sister seemed to be sulking.
Who wronged her baby sister?
