"Alright, since you're here." Just join me. Let's rest from all the stress. Shall we swim?" I asked.

"I'm in." Camilla raised her hand.

"Me too. We're ready. We wore swimsuits under our shirts." Lily seconded.

I laughed. "You're ready, huh?"

That's exactly what happened.

In the hours that followed, we did nothing else but swim in an infinity pool that was also just next to a mini bar.

I just found out that the two will be staying in the unit next to mine.

Mom rented a room for them to stay in.

Sometimes, I really don't know why Mommy and Daddy still treat me like a child.

Even my brother.

Maybe because I'm the youngest?

I was shaken to swim closer to where the two were. I was separated for a while, and they immediately talked to two women, who I think were several years apart from us.

Perks of being friendly. They look younger than any of us. One of them has blonde hair that ends just below her shoulder.

The other one has long straight hair that almost reaches her waist. "Hi!" When I approached them, Lily immediately introduced me.

"Miss Aya, you're back." Francine, Abi, this is Aya. Our boss, but she's more like a friend to us. "

Introducing me to the two children "Miss Aya, this is Francine." She pointed to the woman with blonde hair."And this is Abi."

"Hello, Nice to meet you." When Abi greeted, she had a bright, friendly smile on her face.

"Same here, Nice to meet you." A little shyness is obviously radiating from her face, unlike the other girl, who looked confident when she greeted me with a smile.

I put on a smile on my lips to at least ease the awkwardness that's starting to build between us.

"Hello. It's also a pleasure to meet you two. You look young. How old are you?" I asked.

Camilla answered. "They're college, nineteen, right?"

The two nodded.

"Oh, I see. Do you want to join us?" I invited

The two were still looking at each other, so I hesitated about my own offer. "We're going to drink a bit, but it's okay if you two only order non-alcoholic drinks." You're not required to order the same drinks as we will. "

"All right," Abi answered.

We went to the nearby mini bar wearing the clothes handed out by the maids. Camilla called a while ago.

I only drink occasionally.

My parents don't drink either; even my older brother doesn't drink too much.

He would even rather collect a dog than go on a walk with his friends and co-workers.

I even threw a joke at him one time. "Maybe you're already eating your dog's food, brother?"

I just laughed when I remembered the two of us.

The good old days how I miss the times when we were still young and would play around without worrying about how to earn money.

Anyway, everyone needs to grow and move on from childhood.

I caught a few glimpses of our new friends glancing at me.
