Right away, I let Miss Vera know about the meeting over dinner. She approved of it and gave me some couple of advice on how to win clients. Truth be told, I had no idea why she believed in me and trusted my capability in the sales department despite the fact that I felt having low self-esteem. I couldn't guess what she saw in me.As well, I called and informed Denver about the sudden schedule. As expected, it was a bit hiccup getting his consent. Even though he knew the kind of job I'm in, he was hesitant to agree. I comprehended his reaction because it wasn't obscured that Pierre had a colorful background when it comes to women. The fact that Denver didn't want me to get home late and compromise the time with our daughter, he didn't want the notorious Pierre Baker to get closer to me. In the middle of our argument, I persuaded him to trust me. "I trust you, baby, It's him that I don't," he sounded emphatic. However, I already gave my confirmation to the other party, so there's no wa

Right after our delicious dinner, Catie whined for a swim. At first, I refused the idea but when Denver persuaded me that we needed some sort of fun and relaxation, I granted the little girl's wishes. Gladly, it wasn't cold outside as winter is anticipated not until the next two months. "Mommy, hold my hands," Catie was the cutest. We were in the pool feeling the soothing waters that were newly replenished. She was smiling vividly inside her unicorn inflatable swimming ring. Denver was sitting on the edge of the pool a meter away from us while his legs were submerged in the water. He was all smiles taking photos of us and he appeared to be enjoying the thing. I bet capturing moments was his new hobby. Since I didn't want to oppose what he was doing, I let him. Besides, it's not every day that we got the chance to unwind. It took us more than an hour in the pool before we successfully coaxed the little girl to move out of the water. We were afraid she could get sick of so much stayin

She smiled mischievously. "That's what I thought, "and motioned for me to sit down. "Ciara, thank you for seeing me tonight," and she pushed a button provided on the table. "No one will see you here, don't worry," Satirely, she tittered when she noticed I was still perplexed. "We are safe here," she added."I think my clothes don't fit in here," I twisted my lips and that earned a suppressed laugh from her."It's alright, we are not dancing anyway," she brushed my comment away. I was uncomfortable yet she assured me that whatever wardrobe I had, it was no big deal. Without any more hesitation in my mind, I nodded. Anyways, I trusted her and she knew the place more than I do. One male attendant went inside our room and right away, Meadow ordered a whiskey sour. Honestly, I didn't know what kind of drink it was but by hearing the word whiskey, I thought I got a hint. "You're drinking alcohol without eating anything?" I leaned closer and whispered. When I was asked what I wanted to dri

An hour before our flight we let Catie take all her medicine and ensured she would be comfortable traveling. We were glad she slept on that short two-hour flight and we hadn't gotten any problems on our way to a small town in Shelbyville. Although it was more than an hour's travel from the airport in Kentucky, I could say we had a great time and we enjoyed the scenery.As we passed the town, we went on for another 10 minutes of the countryside. Honestly, I was mesmerized by seeing massive farms and many horses around. The abundance of crops and berries was overflowing. It was funny because I couldn't conceal the astonishment in my system as well as Catie who was looking puzzled by the new environment.When the car turned and entered a bit narrow street, I sighted a simple house a few meters away. My heart started to beat fast and I felt very excited to meet Denver's parents again. I couldn't wait to introduce Catie as well. As soon as the vehicle halted, someone went out of the porch

When the car halted in front of the community hospital, I went inside to find the room number. As soon as I found it, I knocked and there I saw Iris looking so tired tending to her Mom who got a lot of wires attached to her body. "Why didn't you tell me you're going through this?" I told her lowly as I didn't want to wake her mom in her sleep. Her Mom's illness has a lot of complications. Aside from having heart disease, she was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. Iris couldn't leave her alone in the hospital because she got no relatives around to support her. She shared that her boyfriend is the only person she got and unfortunately he was out to find a new job after the company he worked for was dealing with an economic crisis which led to his retrenchment. Sadly he got no job yet since he started looking for one. "Sorry to hear that," I consoled. As I observed Iris, she was clearly emotionally strained and I understood her situation. Tears brimmed in the corner of her eyes when
