A smile appears in her face as she reads Usa's messages.

It was Usa knew what was her struggles with. So when her friend message or call her she felt warm in her heart.

She replied: Hahahaha okay. Nag, nag, nag, why acting like a mom?! Is that what you learned working at the firm? By the way, thank you for your undying care. hahaha, I'm on my way to your place. And take care of yourself too.

As she finished typing and clicks the send button, her phone buzz again and on the notification bar, she saw it was a message from her nanny.
