“Where’s your friend?”
My forehead creased as I lifted my face and saw Matt, looking at me with an annoyed expression.
“What?”
“Your friend, Kelly, I need to talk to her.”
I tilted my head and shot an eyebrow up. “She’s not always home.”
He clenched his jaws. “You’re living with her?”
“Yes.”
He started walking towards me and pressed his palms on my table, staring into my eyes. “Tell her I’m looking for her.”
“Why would I?”
I
“Because I need to talk to her, Kelly.”
I smirked. “You don’t even wanna help me.”
He looked away and guilt crossed his eyes, I saw it clearly. Something happened. He learned something. Emily’s right.
I intertwined my fingers and rested my elbows on my table. “Tell me, Matt. What happened?”
He looked at me, annoyed. “Nothing happened. Stop suspecting my parents because they know nothing
I shot an eyebrow up again and chuckled without humor. “We’re talking about you and Emily, Matt. Why are you involving your parents?”
He swallowed hard and stood straight. He pushed his hands inside the pocket of his pants as he tried so hard to avoid my eyes. “Just tell her that I’m looking for her.”
I watched his back as he left my office. Fish is indeed caught by its mouth, huh? I wonder what he discovered to act so defensive like that.

A Family Vacation
Kelly’s POV
I looked inside the car. Mr and Mrs Anderson are at the seats behind the second row. In the second row was Phoebe and Snow while the driver was in the driver seat. The only empty space was the passenger seat and I was about to get inside when Mrs. Anderson cleared her throat.
“Ah, Kelly…”
I looked at her. “Yes, Mrs. Anderson?”
She smiled. “Emily will sit there.”
Oh, right! She invited Emily too, I nodded and looked at Snow. I’ll just carry Snow. I was about to get inside when Ana came in first and carried Snow who’s smiling sweetly at me.
“I’ll sit here, ma’am. Snow needs her nanny.”
My forehead creased as I looked inside the car again. Phoebe said I shouldn’t bring
fit but…
my car because we’ll
“Mom, I told you we can just use the bigger car,” Pierce said who suddenly appeared behind me.
Oh God! They’re at it again!
Mrs. Anderson gasped. “Oh, right! You’re going with us. Too bad, the bigger car is in the repair shop.”
“Huh?” Pierce looked really shocked crossed my arms. Is he pretending or he doesn’t really know what they’re planning
“One seat was broken. I told one of the guards to have it repaired.”
Pierce frowned. “Mom…”
“Just use your car, Pierce.”
Before Pierce could even say anything again, I grabbed his arm and looked at Snow. “Pumpkin, mommy and daddy will ride in a separate car.”
“It’s okay, mommy!” Snow looked very energetic.
I just shook my head and closed the car’s door before I looked at Pierce whose lips are parted. He was staring down at me so I chuckled and shook my head again.
“You see what they’re doing? They’re framing us up.
He scratched the back of his head and smirked. “You’re right…”
I walked towards his car that was parked at the garage. I sat on the passenger seat and watched the car
in front of us leave. Pierce entered the driver seat and turned the engine on.
I looked at him. He was just wearing cargo shorts, rubber shoes and black t–shirt. He was wearing sunglasses as he sat handsomely on the driver seat.
“You want music?”
“It’s fine.”
He smiled and turned the radio on. He started driving while humming to the song. We’re just following the car in front of us and while staring at it, I couldn’t help but think about how my friends and my own daughter betrayed me.
A Forly Vacation
“What are you thinking? Pierce asked after he saw me shaking my head.
I chuckled. “I just couldn’t believe how our daughter betrayed us-
My own words disappeared in the air as I realized what I said. Pierce glanced at me and even his eyes: were showing happiness, I could still see confusion in it.
I cleared my throat. “Uhm. I mean…Snow treats you as her own father.”
He clenched his jaws and nodded before he gave me a smile but I know it was a forced one. He’s starting to doubt my actions and how I address him as Snow’s father. Twice.
He cleared his throat. “How’s Klay Carver? Is he…still bothering you?”
I bit my bottom lip and shook my head. “He’s not contacting me anymore. After the fire incident, he didn’t contact me again.”
I saw how his eyes sharpened. “Do you think he was the one behind the fire incident?”
“I don’t know. I. blamed him but he fiercely denied that he did it.”
“I can help you, Kelly. Only if you allow me to do so…”
“You don’t need to.” I shook my head and sighed. “I already have someone investigating everything.
“Just…tell me if you still need something.”
I just nodded. The atmosphere has be e awkward so I just squeezed my eyes closed and decided to sleep. Pierce just woke me up when we reached our destination.
I was in awe after I saw the place. The view is breathtaking.
