“What do you mean you're renting an apartment?”

Sierra flinched when her friend— Astrid, bombarded her eardrums as soon as she answered the call. After her encounter with Mason, Sierra couldn’t calm down. That was when she decided to check on her friend and have a casual chat to divert her thoughts. And like always, Astrid’s greeting was loud and full of energy.

Sierra took a deep breath while thinking of the safest reply she could ever come up with. Knowing Astrid, Sierra was afraid the former would drag them out of the apartment to stay with her instead. “Things happen and the kids love the place too,” she responded after a careful analysis.

As Sierra's only and best friend, Astrid cared a lot for her. In fact, the latter was quite proud to be her friend. After all, Sierra was not the type to mingle with people. Astrid thought she was lucky to be friends with her after having several classes together back in college. In Astrid's eyes, Sierra was like a star that shines brightly at n

    Oliver wore his coat before knocking on his Dad’s office. He had never seen his old man for a while, and coming to him on his own was a big shock to the latter."You’re here. What do you want?" Dr. Lewis asked without lifting his gaze to his son.Oliver sat on the chair in front of him and knocked on the table to get his attention."I don’t want to repeat the question, Oliver." His father finally looked at him with a sigh. "I have many things to do, so I appreciate it if you speak right away."Nodding his head, Oliver clenched his fists on his lap. "I want to become a father," he blurted out. "You don’t have to arrange for me to marry anyone. I already have a successor in mind.""So, what did you eat today?" Dr. Lewis asked instead, taking his words lightly. "Or did you watch a movie with that guy? What’s his name? Ah, Frank. Yeah. Did he force you to do something again, resulting in... this?""I see that you’re not interested." Oliver stood up and fixed his tie. "I’m still going to do

    “I can’t believe you’re going without me!” Astrid cried on the other line. While she was ordered to stay in the house for a month after she kicked Mason Bennett in the jaw, Sierra and the kids invited Caleb to join their picnic. “Won’t you at least help me get out of here just for today?” “You’re only making your situation worse if you do that, Missy.” “But I want to come! It’s not fair. I watched over those kids when the two of you went on a date. Let me talk to the kids. They’ll surely want me to come too!” Sierra sighed. She wanted to invite Astrid as well, but Caleb told her not to. When she asked him why, he said that Astrid was being punished. Although Sierra wanted to know the details, she didn’t pry so much about it. She could tell from Caleb’s voice that something huge must have happened and Astrid was involved. It was not surprising for her to know how Astrid attracts trouble for herself ever since they met and became friends. “You can come next time but sorry, today’s no

    The warm breeze touched Oliver’s skin as soon as he got off the car. After recovering from a fever, he decided to take a break from work for a month. It was the first time he voluntarily asked for a break, which surprised everyone, including his friend, Frank. Oliver planned to visit Sherly’s grave with the latter. Usually, Oliver would resort to overworking whenever he had something in mind, but this time, he wanted to try a different approach, especially when he might be the father of Sherly’s baby.“Did we get to the right place?” Frank asked, looking around. “This town looked lifeless…”Oliver roamed his gaze around and couldn’t agree more. It felt like the place was abandoned. “There was a huge fire that killed almost a hundred people a few months ago. It’s going to be more suspicious if people living here would look lively after the incident.”Frank nodded his head. “Lots of people died, but I don’t think they ever reported it to the public. Did you find out the cause of the fir

    Mason groaned as soon as his eyes met Astrid’s. He was not happy to see her at all. After what she had done to him, he wished her to go die somewhere and never appear in front of him again.“What’s this? I thought you were recovering well. You look like a mess,” Astrid commented, throwing stony gazes at him lying on the bed. There was no hint of either guilt or regret in her voice as she continued speaking. “So, did you tell them your plan to cancel our engagement? You’re not waiting until your injury heals, are you?”Mason clenched his fists. He knew something was wrong with Astrid, but he didn’t expect her to be a total maniac. “Evil witch!” He mumbled, though his words turned out muffled, which was hard for Astrid to understand.“Why do you have to kick me so hard?”Astrid looked at him blankly. “I don’t know what you’re saying, but if you’re wondering why I did that, then I have two reasons.” She pulled a chair and sat next to his bed and smiled. “First, because you’re annoying.

    Sierra handed the boxes with dresses she made for her clients. Although the men looked scary, she couldn’t just let them stand outside. With the help of her landlady, who was amused by her reaction, Sierra entertained the clients one by one.“Thank you for your order. I hope your wife will like it,” she said as she handed the box. Sierra turned around to find more boxes were still waiting to be claimed.“Thanks, Miss. We’re very sorry for scaring you earlier.”Sierra smiled slightly with a red face. She didn’t want to hear it again in embarrassment. “Haha! That was really unexpected. Thanks for your understanding.” Sierra nodded at the man and watched him exit the door. A few moments later, another man came in.“Please have a seat. May I know under what name your order is?” Sierra checked the list while waiting for the man to reply.“It’s for Celia—”A loud thud interrupted the man’s response. Sierra frowned as she turned to see what had happened. Her eyes softened when she saw Caleb.

    Sierra threw her arms overhead and stretched as she yawned. She checked the time on the clock. Her eyes glistened with joy. “I’m finally done!”It took her longer than she expected to finish the orders she received. She was not only excited to get paid for them but also to have a few days’ breaks and be with the children.‘It’s only 1 in the afternoon. I should inform the clients about their orders. They said they’d come to pick them up so…’ Sierra left her seat and went to the kitchen for a glass of water.“Ah! That was nice,” she mumbled before washing the glass and letting it dry.Sierra went back to the living room to get her phone. She grabbed the small notebook on the side where she wrote down the client’s contact number. She started calling them one after another, informing them they could pick up their order anytime now.“Thank you! Please drop by at the address given anytime to pick up your dress. Have a nice day,” Sierra said to the last client she called. When the call ende
