I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 31

When Sheri wakes up, she carefully verifies the date. She came back the day after she encounters Devon at her Father's private office.

She can, however, instantly feel the grief of losing something. She keeps on thinking about it but can't recall anything. She tries shaking it off and went and prepare for her appointment on that day.

After dressing up she walked toward the kitchen she notices her mom cooking. She instantly embraced her at her back. The smell of her mom calms her nerves. Her mom look back and saw her daughter ready to go to work.

"Morning mom," Sheri said.

"Morning sweetie did you have a good sleep today." Her mom asked while continuing what she's doing.

Sheri sits in the kitchen counter facing her mom.

"Yup" with a long resounding p.

"Hey mom, remember the one we saw, the apartment that you think it's nice. I already acquired it." Sheri said.

A few months ago Sheri wanted to have her own privacy that's why she insists on living by her self. It takes her months and days until she was able to persuade her parents to let her live by herself.

Sven and Ric have their owned condo, but they still prefer living with their parents.

"That's nice to hear honey. When are you planning to move in?" Her mom asked.

"I think I will be moving after I'm done renovating, I already sought someone to refurbish and restyle it," Sheri said.

"Ok, By the way, sweetie how was your friends. I never saw them anymore. Did you guys have a fight or something? Her mom asked. After the time she wakes up in a bad dream her mom notice that she doesn't bring anymore her friends.

Sheri stops swaying rhythmically her feet "Oh the so-called fake friends of mine." Sheri thought.

"We are just busy with our careers." Sheri lied. She doesn't want her mom to know she already stops communicating with them. She changes her phone number, her social media, and everything.

"Oh that's sad." her mom said.

Her mom stood still and finished what she was doing and hand over the plate toward Sheri. Sheri accepted the plate and start eating.

"You know sweetie. You don't have to do this. This house is big enough for all of us and one more thing you will miss mommy's food." Her mom said. She knows Sheri wants to be independent, but they are reluctant to let her live by herself especially that they have seen how workaholic she is.

Sheri smiles toward her mom. She set her half-eaten food on the counter and went to tenderly embrace her mom and kiss her cheek. "No worries' mom I will take good care of my self and you can come every day to properly check on me."

Sheri said gently.

"Sigh! Alright, I really can't persuade you." Sheri's mom holds her daughter's cheek and smiles.

"Need to go, before the 4 adorable puppies will wake up." Sheri laugh. Anyhow, presently she has much work to do since Mr. Jack has agreed with the deal.

Her mom looked at her.

"Yes, you better go or else they will leech on you." Her mom urges her to go.

"Alright, see you this evening," Sheri said.
