Lina finally finished the last document of the morning and stretched as she glanced at the calendar on her desk. It was covered with circles and notes, all added by Zuko. He wanted to ask for more “allowance” on those days. Hopefully, there might be unexpected gains aside from pocket money.

Lina smiled, turned off her computer, and prepared to leave for home at noon. Just then, her secretary knocked on the door and entered.

“Ms. Thompson, look who’s here!”

Lina looked up and was delightfully surprised to see Linda and Melissa coming together.

Abandoning the thought of Zuko’s request for “allowance”, she rushed over and linked arms with her mothers.

The three women sat at a hotel restaurant near the company. Lina ordered dishes that Linda and Melissa loved and happily watched the two mothers interact like old best friends.

In fact, they had indeed become like long-time best friends. Melissa had learned how to appreciate reading, tea tasting, and flower cultivation from Linda, while Linda had learned how to play poker and cards from Melissa.

The two families often spent time together. Linda let go of her grudge, and that added another set of parents who loved her daughter.

Lina picked out dishes for the two of them and smiled happily.

“Why are you two here together today? Do you have something to tell me?”

Melissa and Linda exchanged a glance and smiled at her. “I wanted to shop around. Your mom suggested coming to see you and treating you to lunch!”

“Yeah, she’s paying for this meal!” Linda also laughed. “Pammy, you better not save her money!”

“How can I do that?” Lina widened her eyes. “I should be treating you both!”
