Chapter 153

Chapter 0153 “Seeing if you have ate lunch yet. We are headed down there now.” “We were about to do the same.” “Perfect!” Emmy smiled as she waited for me to grab my phone. Setting my purse off to the side, we left the office and walked down to the kitchen. It was packed as we made our way to the buffet. It had basic pastas, salads, breads and different kinds of meats for sandwiches. There was a whole bar for just fruits and veggies. Grabbing some bread, I made a sub and took some pasta before sitting down. I was the first person to sit down so I was by myself when a young girl approached me. “Hello, Luna Kristen.” Looking up, she was maybe around six or seven. With long brown hair, she had a little button nose with deep chocolate eyes. “EMILY!” A girl who I assumed was her mother ran up anxiously to her. “I’m so sorry she bothered you.” “Wait!” I said as she tried to lead her away. “I don’t mind. Actually, I love when people come up to me and say hello.” Standing up, I walked around and kneeled in front of her. Holding out my hand, I offered to

shake hers. “How are you?” Emily smiled and shook my hand. “I’m great! We are going swimming today!” “That’s wonderful! Do you like to put your head under the water?” I was vaguely aware the whole kitchen had gone quiet and was watching our interaction. “I do! I can blow bubbles! Mommy tells me I can’t swim in the deep part though.” She frowned and looked Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

up at her mom. Her mom blushed in embarrassment. “Well, mommy’s usually know what’s best. I think maybe we should always listen to your mommy, right?” “Oh yes, Luna. I ALWAYS listen!” She nodded quickly. “Good! That makes me so proud.” I smiled warmly at her. “I made this for you at school.” She held up a bracelet. It had pink and green beads on it and it said Luna with white beads. “You made this?” I asked shocked as I accepted the gift. “Yes! I like to make new friends.” Putting it on, I admired it. “Perfect fit! I’m glad we are friends now!” “Me too.” She flung her arms around me and hugged me tightly. Smiling, I returned the hug. “Did you eat all your lunch so you can go swim?” I asked. “Yes! Now that we are friends, can I ask you something?” She got really nervous and played with the hem of her mermaid swimsuit. “Of course, what do you want to ask?” “Mommy is really sad that she can’t find any books to read me. She said that the library is too small,” Looking up at her mom, she had her head, buried in her hands. “Is that right?” I asked, standing up. “You need a bigger library?” “It was just a random remark like a year ago. I can’t believe she even remembers that.” “It’s okay, you want a bigger library.” I looked down at Emily, lowering myself, I got to her eye level. “I love books. Let me see what I can do to make your mommy happy, okay?” “Thank you, Luna Kristen.” She smiled at me. Looking up at her mom, “See, mama, I told you she was nice.” “Oh, good gravy child. Let’s go swimming.” I think her mother hit her max embarrassment for the day.

“I have to go. Bye friend!” “Bye!” I said as I waved before standing up and going back to my chair. The kitchen started quiet whispering again as I started eating. “She was cute.” Emmy smiled at me. “She really was. I got a bracelet and you don’t!” I teased her. “I’ll have to spend time at the school now so I get more than you.” Alec leaned over and k*ssed my forehead before going back to eat his own sandwich. “Emmy, how is that pool project coming along?” I asked. “Nicely. We finalized the plans for the expansion and it will start in the fall.” “Great, so what are you working on now?” “I have a feeling it will be a new library.” Emmy said as she ate a strawberry.
