If she did, Isaac would really get upset with her this time!
"Be safe!" Irene sighed exasperatedly but said nothing else.
After hanging up, she stared at her door for a long while—she had no idea when it started, but Lulu and Zachary's lives had become two parallel lines, having no chance of intersecting.
She sighed again.

On the other end, Lulu received a friend request from Zachary—he probably added her because he could not reach her the first time.
[Hello, I'm Stan's friend and I heard you're a child care worker. Are you still in the profession at the moment?]
[Yes.]
Lulu replied almost immediately.
[May I see your certification?]
Zachary was prudent—but anyone else would be if their child were involved!
Lulu's heart skipped a beat, but it was fortunate that she already used a new photo for her certificate. She might be in trouble if she did not!
[Okay. Please wait a moment—I will take a photo right now!]
After a brief wait, Lulu sent him the photo, and Zachary was quiet while he stared at the date it was issued.
[I see you've had years of experience.]
Despite what he typed, he was staring at the photo with disappointment.
He suspected the woman to be Lulu. But if it was her, the date the certificate was issued should be much more recent… unless it was fake.
[Yes, I have experience with this line of work abroad. I'll take good care of your child if you're willing to entrust her with me…]
