Giselle reached her home at 10:30 . She stopped in between her ride to get some desserts for Lia . When she reached her apartment, it was locked and she rang the doorbell . There was no response for a moment but then she heard little footsteps approaching towards the door .
"Who is it?" Lia shouted in her sweet voice .
"It's the Pizza delivery Mam" Giselle lowered her voice to mimic a guy .
"I'm your child . It doesn't work on me, mother Giselle . "
"It's the Pizza delivery Mam" Giselle is not giving up .
"I'm never opening the door," Lia screamed and ran off to her room . Giselle had to give in cuz the time isn't perfect for playing such games .
"Alright . Alright . Lia, please open the door . It's your mother . "
"Come back, Lia . Open the door . "
There was no response until now . Giselle knew that she has a bribe to get her daughter open the door .
"I bought pastries from one of the best bakeries in the town . You can have it if you open the door immediately . Plus, it's a new type of dessert and . . . . . as far as I see it is melting now . So… . "
Before she could finish, Lia came back running and opened the door . She welcomed her mother with a sweet warm smile . She then immediately took the dessert from her mom and opened them eagerly . They were fresh cakes with different flavors such as blueberry, chocolate, strawberry, mango, and pineapple . Seeing them was like being in heaven for Lia . She quickly took the mango flavored cake, her favorite flavor . It was soft and spongy . The cream was too perfect and soft . She took a bite and felt dizzy from the flavor and softness . The fragrance filled their home .
"Only one for now," Giselle ordered .
"mmnot mbay" Lia answered with her mouthful of dessert .
Giselle had to snatch away the dessert box from Lia to avoid any tantrum .
"You can have them tomorrow . Now, go brush your teeth after eating and sleep . "
Lia finished her cake and went to brush her teeth .
Giselle changed into her pajamas and entered the bathroom . Lia was almost done with her brushing and was washing her face .
"My boss said he knew someone who's the principal for a very reputed school in here . "
"Wow, really . I get to attend a pretty cool school huh!! . Oh, mom by the way, why don't I attend the school you went?"
"I'm afraid that I can never do that . "
"Afraid?"
Giselle felt bitter now . "I'm afraid that the school doesn't exist anymore . "
"What? How? Man, it is so bad . "
Lia went to her room . Giselle tucked her in nice and cozy . She kissed her goodnight and turned the lights out .
She then went to the kitchen and washed the dishes . There were some leftover noodles in the fridge . She heated them in the oven and ate it . The time was around 12 midnight . She took her laptop out and started to research about Jayce . All of his achievements and reviews from the critics . Various news about his accomplishment at a very young age .
"Seems like a big shot to me, of course, he is" Lia whispered to herself .
"How can I handle it without disturbing Lia? She was already fussing about me coming home late and not spending enough time with her . " Giselle was worried .
She spent the night reading a lot of comments and opinions about the author . About 80% of the people agreed with the author's perspective and loved his books . His writing style and story flow were popular among a lot of literature students . Only 10% of the people didn't like this work and just commented online . However, the sales were always on top . All of these made Giselle feel at ease . As a matter of fact, he doesn't allow a lot of interviews or attends any functions . This has made him look like a meticulous person . However, Jayce was a rock star amongst the critics . Not a lot of them hated his non-social behaviors but still, his works will speak more than anything .
"I guess I won't be bothered too much . I might give it a try and gain more experience . " She decided .
"Alright . I better send Mr . Ricardo a message about my decision . "
