ERIC'S POV:
"Hi mom!" I could not hide my excitement and jumped over mom to hug her as soon as she walked towards me.
"How are you my son?"
"I am good mom, what about you?"
"Now that I have seen you, I am absolutely fine as well."
"Hey pretty lady." Oh well, I forgot to introduce mom to her. I think Nova must be feeling really awkward.
"Hello aunty." Mom looked towards me with her brows raised as if she was asking me about her.
"Mom, she is Nova. She is my business partner and also my friend."
"Oh, nice to meet you young lady."
"Same here aunty."
"Did you accompany him to pick me up?"
"Yes, I thought you will be happy."
"Aww that's really sweet of you and indeed, I am more than happy."
"Mom, you must be tired. Let's go home. Nova, I will drop you to your home on the way as well."
"Okay."
"No, she won't go to her home." Nova and I looked at mom at the same time with same level of astonishment.
"Mom..."
"Nova, right?"
"Yes aunty."
