Chapter 56: If only she could go back in time

Lauren was just leaving her meeting with her media department when she saw her cell phone ring and Camila's name appear on the screen. She didn't know if she was ready to meet Milika, Camila's mother, but she knew that one day she would have to do it, after all, the two were almost living together, it was normal for the brunette's family to want to meet her.

Lauren just hated not being in control of the situation and meeting the brunette's family would leave her with no control at all ... What if Milika or Dinah didn't like her? If they disapprove of Camila coming to her place? What would they do?

Lauren shook her head and answered the phone, these last meetings with the media team made her more stressed than usual but she didn't blame her employees, they were dealing with a storm coming in the form of the interviews that Lucy was giving from the hospital, interviews that her team didn't understand why Lauren kept quiet about...

"How did it go?" She answered with a sigh, she didn't want to think about it now.

"So ..." Camila said from the other end of the line and Lauren's heart skipped a beat "Did I say today that I love you?"

"What happened?" Lauren stopped in the middle of the hall to give her full attention to Camila, ignoring the looks of the secretaries passing by her "Is Luna behaving?" She hated to blame the girl again but it was the first thing that ...

"No! Nothing like that" Camila corrected her "On the contrary, Luna and Liv got along very well with my mother" She hesitated and Lauren frowned "So well they are calling her grandma" Camila laughed nervously and Lauren held her breath "But let's focus on the positive side of this, shall we?"

"Positive?" Lauren managed to say "Camz ... My God, I don't know what to say, I'm sorry ... I'm going to talk to them"

"What?" Camila asked confused without understanding the raven's concern "Lauren, no! Milika loved it! It's okay, they're getting along very well"

"I don't know ..." Lauren bit her lip, her own mother's face suddenly flashing in her mind "Camila ..."

"Lauren" She heard the sigh "I loved it and Milika loved it too, let the children be children"

"Hm ..." Lauren ran her hand through her hair "We'll talk about this later"

"Okay" Camila tried to smile on the other end of the line "Are you coming here?"

"Actually ..." Lauren didn't want to "Actually, I think I better go home, I'm stressed and I don't think it's time to meet your mother ... Do you think she'll hate me if I don't show up? "

"Of course not!" Camila comforted her "I'm going to talk to her, she understands and not to mention that she is more than happy to be with the girls"

"Ok..."

"Is everything okay, Lo?" Camila frowned at the murmur "If you don't like it I can ..."

"No!" She heard herself say quickly without being sure "No, it's okay, you're right, there's no reason to disturb the girls"

"If you're sure ..."

"Yes," She said with more confidence "Okay"

They said goodbye and Lauren hung up the phone, still standing in the middle of the hall, her problem was not with Milika, her problem was with Clara ...

Her mother's face flashed in her mind and her head started to hurt thinking about Luna saying 'grandma'. That term should belong to her mother, it should...

"Mrs. Jauregui?" One of the secretaries found the courage to approach, she seemed nervous and Lauren didn't have the head to be friendly "Are you okay? Do you need anything?"
