It was a rare weekend, but in order to match Harriet's schedule, I had to go to a makeup shoot with her today.
"Mommy, it's finally a holiday, yet you’re not going to be at home today." Munchkin took a bite of his sandwich, dissatisfaction lingering on his little face.
I hurriedly smiled at him. "I really want to stay here, but I can't help it. Be good. I’ll spend the next weekend."
"Okay." Munchkin was quite sensible and did not make things difficult for me.
I glanced at Theo and noticed that he was not smiling either. "You seem to be in a bad mood today, President Grant."
He looked at me. "Someone is abandoning us. Of course, I can't be happy." Theo's tone was light, but I could hear his displeasure.
Why was this man like a child?
"Enough, you. It’s not like it's your first time taking care of Munchkin. At worst, I'll be the one to do it next week."
"Munchkin, let's just be good and stay at home." Theo looked at Munchkin with a bit of innocence in his tone.
I wondered who he learned that from. It was so hypocritical.
After taking another bite of the bread, I murmured, "Continue with your act. I'll go first." After drinking my juice in one gulp, I picked up my bag and went out the door.
"Be careful on the road."
Theo’s nagging came from behind me, and I could not help the smile that appeared on the corner of my mouth. I drove to the shooting location.
Since the company was still small, we rented a studio for the day. Fortunately, Theo had referred them, so they were reliable.
Harriet arrived at the location just when I did.
