The Reason Of Her Mom's Death

From afar he could see Camellia coming, the smile on her face didn't really show what was inside. She was good at hiding and Alexander, who was good at reading, didn't catch the emotion that she poured this morning.

'So today is her mom's birthday?' He thought in his mind, gazing at her, who was now reaching the table.

"Should I take a half day today?" He asked the moment Camellia took a seat.

She raised her head, feeling confused, "Hmm?"

"You said you are bored."

Camellia immediately shook her hands, "You shouldn't. For me, following you today is enough." The smile she threw was like a kid trying her best to be strong when her parents asked if she was okay after falling.

"Hmm…" He dawdled a bit, "let me settle the work at the HQ really quick and how about a bookshop after that?"
