2 Weeks Later Laila sat curled into the corner of her sofa, a soft cream-colored throw blanket draped across her lap as Laya leaned heavily against her side. The Christmas lights she hadn’t quite found the heart to take down yet glowed softly around the living room, casting warm gold and red reflections across the walls.

I learned to be thankful and quiet. That acceptance made me hate Christmas. Love songs made my skin crawl. The lights under our tree looked like glass eyes. The ribbons on the presents were traps.

One of the women with brown hair in a high bun decorated with mistletoe nodded. "Drew, you need to call all our kids. They must greet such sweet guests and invite them to play by the Christmas tree. After all, today is Christmas Eve, a time for love, fun, and feasting." the other one, with her black hair in a braid, straightened up and exposed her tattooed neck and cleavage in a tight red latex dress.

Ink found Athos on the other side. “Tank.” Ink called and motioned for the other man to enter. Tank stepped out of the closet carrying Evie to the bed. “Dixie told me that she needed her girls to make Christmas tamales. What the hell makes Christmas tamales different from regular tamales?” Evie laughed as Tank slipped crocs on her feet. “They’re made on Christmas.” “That’s it?” Athos asked from the doorway. “That’s it.” She agreed.

Just came to enjoy the Christmas eve with my best friend as I know she must be feeling alone when this festival arrives and her mood gets really low that time.", Christian informed. Listening to Christian's word Abeer gazed at Khushi who was starting Abeer back. Abeer broke eye contact instantly and moved his gaze toward Christian.

Right at that moment, he wanted to check Intern Yoon’s resume but unfortunately, he can’t since he is not using his office laptop. “No… this might be a coincidence; Intern Yoon cannot be that girl who has the back-up of those strange people. Yes, ‘SY’ might stand for something else… and even if it’s Su Yeon, they both just share the same name…” he convinced himself and went to sleep. … Christmas Eve came in no time… The whole Imperial City was shining with colorful lights with a light dusting of snow… A huge Christmas tree was standing proudly with dazzle at almost every shop and place…

Ate Willow asked as she ate some food. “Ate Ori and I don't know,” Yune replied. “Ma'am just told us to make decorations. Maybe soon.” “Is that so. How about the gift giving this time? Draw lots again?” Ate Willow's questions. “Yeah. We have to draw lots,” Iris said. “So we can buy a gift already.” Oh right.
