A simple lifestyle

Erin had a smile on her face as she exited the school with her daughter who was happy and carrying numerous balloons she had taken from the little party

"Mommy I'm so happy you came...but I'm sad that I didn't show my friend who my beautiful mom is"Kiara said with giggles but frowned a little when completing the sentence. Erin smiled and stopped walking on only to lower on one knee and cupped her daughter's little chubby cheeks and Kiara grinned

"Next time sweetie...I promise to show everyone my face"Erin coaxed, to be honest, she also wanted to go to on stage and talk about her daughter, but she couldn't and to her luck the principal had understood her situation that was why she didn't get much attention from other parents around

"Okay mommy"Kiara agreed with a wide smile and Erin smiled from ear to ear and both made their way out walking to the sides because countless cars were leaving the school

"Is something wrong baby?" Erin asked when she noticed her daughter had stopped walking however Kiara didn't answer, and hence she followed Kiara's gaze and said a little girl dressed in a cute pink dress getting assisted to get in the car and when she looked closely, she saw the same man from earlier smiling while coaxing the girl to get in the car. Erin looked down at Kiara and frowned

"Is she your friend?"she asked in a soft tone but instead of answering Kiara shook her head and Erin so a hint of sadness in her daughter's eyes

"She doesn't like me mommy...she's mean to me"Kiara said and averted her eyes from there and Erin didn't know what to say, Kiara was far too young to know that someone hated her not just that but seeing the little girl and supposedly her dad, Erin guessed it was just a simple children issue

"It's not like that honey... I'm sure she doesn't hate you...now come...let's go to buy some groceries or do you want me to call aunt Lola to pick you up"Erin decided to drop the issue and average Kiara's mind to something else, she already saw several messages from Lola and missed calls, and hence she wanted to know if she nailed the interview, so they could celebrate however when she called Lola her phone was off

"I'll come with you mommy..? I want to buy some fruits"Kiara said with giggles and both mother and daughter high-fived in happiness and made their way out to get a taxi, so she could buy something to male for dinner. Coincidentally, Erin looked to her side just as a black car drove by only to see that man again, but he seemed busy driving and talking to someone happily, but she quickly averted her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the car and the little girl with her father, Erin saw was none other than Armando who was having a hard time getting Kira in the car just because he didn't bring two chocolates like he normally did. It was a habit of his daughter to get two chocolates from him,, but he had given one to the girl he almost ran over with his car,

"I thought...you and Rafa had some work...did he do well?" Erica, who was sitting beside Armando as he, drove the car while Kira was at the back seat playing with multiple balloons,

"It's cool... I'm sure he handled the matter,"Armando said in a serious tone, with his eyes still glued to the road. He had some pending work to do later at night, so he would see Rafael at the den,

"Okay"Erica muttered and averted her eyes from the man. She was feeling sad because the man was about to go on a business trip but didn't bother to tell her. She wanted to ask him if he would be back in time for their anniversary celebration

"I won't take long Erica...don't worry"Armando said as if actually reading her thoughts and used his free hand to pull her to him, so she could rest her head on his shoulder and Erica beamed and snuggled close to him

"I love you"she muttered and Armando planted a kiss on her cheek and focused on driving.

It was nighttime and Erin was done with her nightly routine, she managed to get everything she needed to make dinner and had waited for Leticia to get back from the restaurant, so they could have dinner together. Lola was nowhere to be seen, and hence she made sure Kiara was sleeping and Leticia was too then she made her way to the kitchen to get some water, and immediately she got there and turned on the lights

"Ahh!" Erin gasped as her breathing quickened unexpectedly seeing Lola sitting there gulping down what looked like liquor,

"What are you doing sitting in the dark huh...when did you get back and how was your interview?" Erin fired her with questions as she walked to her and took the glass full of liquid and sniffed it and to her surprise it was just water,

"I'm not going to get a job... I'm useless Eri"Lola said as if she were drunk. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were swollen

"Meaning?"Erin asked because she didn't understand what Lola was bickering about

"I messed up Eri... I did some crazy stunt... I went on and seduced my boss to be, and he threw me out of his office"

"You what!?" Erin exclaimed as she choked on the water she was drinking and Lola who just told her something cried even more

"I didn't know okay...it was that Alicia who...who gave me fake tips and now... I won't get the job"she only did that because her dirty minded friend told her it was hard to get a job in a big company unless you offer your possession, and hence she put on a show for the boss, but it backfired because the man seemed to be some sort of saint. Or maybe a married man loyal to his wife and all

"What were you thinking...seducing your boss...that's stupid Lola"Erin said in frustration not sure why Lola would do something so ridiculous before she even got the job

"He...he practically threw me out of his office Erin...sobs... I'll forever be jobless"Lola cried dramatically and Erin had nothing to say other than scold Lola for being stupid

"And you deserved it...you know how hard you've worked to get an interview appointment from that company"Erin was frustrated how Lola did crazy things without thinking and seducing her boss was going out of hand

"What could be worse... Eri I worked hard to seduce him, it could be the greatest achievement for me okay"Lola whined without a care and leaned against the chair

"Well...better sober up because Leticia...found a suitor for you...and this Saturday...you'll meet you groom to be"Erin simply said and Lola was startled as she widened her eyes in shock

"What!so soon?"
