LOGINGraziel had not expected Junie to be completely serious. The moment they finished clearing the breakfast table, the little girl could barely stay still."Ate Graziel! We have to hurry!" Junie said excitedly as she pulled her out of the dining room. "The sun is waiting for us!"Graziel laughed. "The sun?" she repeated, amused."Yes!"Junie nodded with complete confidence. "If Mr. Sun goes too high, it gets too hot. Then it hurts our skin. That's why we have to hurry! Come on!"Graziel could only shake her head with a smile. With all of Junie's explanations, it almost sounded as if the seven-year-old had created her own version of science.Then again, Junie really was a smart child. There was no denying that."All right, Baby.""What do you want to bring?"Junie placed one finger under her chin and pretended to think very hard."Hmm...""Sandwiches! Cookies! Juice! Fruits! And strawberry milk!"Graziel smiled. "That's a lot of food."Junie nodded proudly. "A picnic is supposed to have l
The first rays of the morning sun streamed through the tall glass windows of the mansion, covering the marble floor with a soft golden glow.The entire house was still quiet.The usual sounds of the household staff had not yet filled the hallways. Even the garden outside looked peaceful. Only the cheerful songs of the birds blended with the cool morning breeze.Graziel slowly walked downstairs.She had just finished taking a shower, so her long hair was still slightly damp. She was not wearing her uniform yet because it was still early. Instead, she wore an oversized white shirt and a pair of light blue jeans, comfortable enough for preparing breakfast.As soon as she entered the kitchen, she stopped. Someone was already there.Kevin stood in front of the coffee machine, holding his favorite black ceramic mug. The sleeves of his white button-up shirt were rolled up to his elbows, and he quietly stared at the machine as if waiting for something to happen.He turned when he sensed someo
The mansion slowly became quiet again.After their short baking session, Kevin excused himself and returned to his home office. Meanwhile, Junie stayed in the kitchen, happily waiting for the remaining cookies to cool down."Ate Graziel!" the little girl called excitedly. "Look!"She proudly held up a cookie that was almost as big as her hand. Her smile stretched from ear to ear, and even her eyes sparkled with happiness. Graziel smiled back. Junie always looked adorable whenever she smiled with her whole face."This is the prettiest one."Graziel laughed softly and walked over to take a closer look at the cookie."Really? Why? They all look the same to me.""Because, of course, I made it.""Baby." Graziel shook her head with a laugh. "You made all of them.""I know." Junie proudly placed both hands on her waist. "That's why they're all the prettiest."Graziel could only smile as she gently wiped the small streak of flour from the tip of Junie's nose."My little baker."Junie giggled
The entire kitchen became noisy in just a few minutes. Graziel did not even know who she should listen to anymore. The father and daughter were talking at the same time, and neither of them wanted to stop. The funny part was that Kevin was even louder than his own child.She could only press a hand against her forehead when the two almost started arguing."I'm the one who's going to mix it!" Kevin insisted.Of course, Junie refused to give up. After all, who did she inherit her stubbornness from? Her daddy."No! Daddy should mix it!""I'll do it instead," Graziel said with a laugh as she reached for the mixing bowl. If she did not stop them now, neither of them would ever give in."That's unfair!" Junie complained with a pout. "We're supposed to do teamwork!"Graziel noticed Kevin shaking his head as if he was the one feeling stressed. Meanwhile, her ears were already suffering from the endless noise the two of them were making."I think your definition of teamwork is making other peo
Graziel quietly closed the door to Kevin's home office. Her hand remained on the doorknob for several seconds before she finally let out a slow breath. She couldn't explain why she suddenly felt lighter. Maybe it was because, for the first time, she had seen a different side of Kevin.Not just the serious businessman and not just the strict employer but a man who still carried quiet love and deep regret in his heart.She shook her head and smiled to herself."What are you thinking, Graziel?" she silently scolded herself. "He's your boss."As she stepped into the hallway, she saw Lorena walking toward her with a basket full of freshly folded towels. The older woman immediately smiled, not an ordinary smile. It was the kind of smile that said she had already noticed something and was ready to tease her about it.Oh no… Graziel already knew where this was going."Why are you smiling like that?" Lorena asked playfully.Graziel quickly touched her own lips.Was I really smiling that much?
The mansion was unusually quiet that morning. Junie had left early for a school activity with the family driver and one of the housekeepers. For the first time in several days, the large house felt peaceful again.After cleaning up the breakfast table, Graziel carefully gathered Junie's toys from the living room. A smile spread across her face when she picked up the little girl's favorite stuffed bunny."You really are a naughty little bunny," she whispered with a chuckle as she gently placed it back on the sofa.A moment later, she heard Kevin's voice coming from his home office."Let's move the meeting to next week."She paused for a second. She wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but it was obvious he had been busy since early that morning. One meeting after another.Nearly two hours had passed, and he still hadn't come out of his office. After finishing her chores, she went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. There she found Lorena preparing vegetables."Has Sir Kevin eaten yet?" Gr
