Camila chuckled at Claire's words. "Mom, how can you say that about me?" Camila pouted, pretending to be upset. "At worst, the food might just not taste good."

"Alright, alright, I misspoke," Claire said with a laugh, waving her hand dismissively. "I know you're capable, darling, but you should focus on your job right now. You're working to support me, aren't you?" Camila nodded, her lips curling into a faint smile.

"Don't do that again," Camila whispered.
