Job Hunt 2

Cassie's POV

We were about to follow Maland into the room, but with a gesture he asked us to stay back. "Hey big guy" He mumbled as he stood in front of Mike. Mike refused to look at Maland, so he continued. "Your mother wants to know if you are okay with us coming here or not… but-"

"I don't need a babysitter. I am not a baby"! He shouted before Maland could finish.

"What about your sister?" That got his attention when he finally gazed at Maland, however he still avoided eye contact. After a moment of pause, he mumbled. "She is a baby" He nodded. "She needs one".

"You know, she liked Cassie" Mumbled Maland, "But she is sad that Cassie won't get to stay" He explained to her.

"Why can't she stay"? Slowly, Mike asked.

"Because you don't want us around. Your mother loves you, and she doesn't want to be uncomfortable with us" Maland sighed.

"That will make Meg sad," Mumbled Mike.
