Find Me In Your Labyrinth

Charlie James stared at Emily coldly and asked suspiciously, “What are you so scared of?”

Emily denied it vehemently, “I’m not scared. I think bringing a kid to work isn’t exactly appropriate”

Charlie’s icy gaze swept over her face before he said goodbye to Kya, “See you, kid. Don’t forget to miss me, okay?”

“Uncle Charlie, miss me and Mommy tool” Kya waved.

Emily didn’t dare stick around any longer and hastily scooped up Kya and got out of the car.

Once they were free of Charlie, Emily seemed to relax, her face softened. She picked up Kya and smiled, “Uncle Charlie is Mommy’s boss. We can’t tell him everything or rely on him too much. He might get fed up.”

Kya’s big eyes stared at her. “But Uncle Charlie is my friend!”

Emily sighed in resignation, “Even friends have boundaries, sweetie.”
