She pulled herself up and glared at me. “I will do everything to get that position, Kelly. I will not let you play with me like this.”
“I’m not playing with you, Sara. I want you to help me and I’m paying you for that.
She lifted her chin and gripped her bag. “Give me this month. You’ll get what you want and once I’m done, you will not interfere with how I want to manage the new branch.”
I nodded and smiled. “You can have my word, Aunt Sara.”
She stared at me for a few seconds before she turned her back and walked out of my office. I took a deep sigh after that and started massaging my forehead. I turned my computer on and since I’m not expecting anyone, I was about to start working when the door swung open again.
Fish by Gaught by its Mouth
“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.”
