Chapter 0454

"Do you really have to go mom?" Lilly asks, her eyes shifting between me and the open suitcase on my bed.

I hated last last-minute rushes, but we have been so busy in the office these last couple of days, that every time I went home, all I could think about was sleeping. I was dead tired on my feet and I had no energy to do anything but eat and sleep.

"Yes," I tell her softly. "This is an important deal and your father has to be there to seal it."

"I still don't understand why I can't come with you? I want to see how daddy does it. How he closes a deal.'

I fold the last piece of clothing, which is a blue silk blouse, before placing it inside with the rest of the clothes. Once that is done, I zip up my suitcase before dropping it on the floor.

"You know you can't," I answer her while sitting on the bed.

"Because you are still a child. That's why?"
