Camila's POV
I slightly opened my eyes. The room was still dark. I stretched my hand out to grab my phone from the nightstand. I could not open my eyes wider when I saw the time. It was nine-thirty. I jumped out of bed immediately because I was late for work. I went to the bathroom to have a quick refresh. I put on my clothes and ran out of the bedroom, leaving my stuff in the room. I would take them later. I was late for my job playing with Thunder and Leo. I ran to the garden next to the kitchen. I ran inside into the kitchen.
"Mrs. Wilson, sorry, I'm late!" I told Mrs.Wilson who was in the kitchen with one other staff.
"Good morning, Camila!" She greeted me while preparing some food.
"Good morning, Mrs. Wilson! Where are Thunder and Leo?" I asked her. They usually waited for me by the kitchen garden if they were not in their room.
"They are with Lauren." She said.
"F*ck!" I silently cursed. I woke up late. I missed the alarm. I might miss my job soon.
"Have a breakfast first, Camila!" She asked me to sit at the kitchen island with her.
"No, thanks, Mrs. Wilson! I have to go to the boys. Are they inside?" I wondered if Ms. J took them out for a walk or if she was with them inside the house.
"Lauren takes them for a walk." She said.
"Okay..." I ran out of the kitchen to where Thunder and Leo usually went in the morning.
"Camila..." Mrs. Wilson called me but I had to save my job first.
.
I saw them from a distance. I ran faster to reach them.
"Good morning, Ms. J!" I greeted my boss who was sitting on the rock on the riverside, watching her dogs playing.
"Good morning, Camila!" She had her sunglasses on.
"I'm sorry..." I said, feeling bad for being late for the job. "I missed the alarm."
She stood up, "Don't worry, Camila! You stayed up late because of me."
"I..." She was right. We came back around midnight, and I stayed up late because of thinking of her. "I'm sorry!"
She smiled with her little cool smile. "I will leave them to you. I have to go back inside and make a call!"
"Okay..." I said.
She patted my shoulder before she left. I was glad she was not unhappy even though I could not see her eyes behind her shades. I was late for more than an hour. I spent a longer time with Thunder and Leo before I walked them back to their room. I went back to the kitchen where Mrs. Wilson was. She had made me breakfast. She asked me to have my brunch before leaving.
"I have sent you the money, Camila!" She usually would send my weekly salary on Sunday. Since I had to leave for the museum event, we did not settle it yesterday.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wilson!" I checked the money coming into my account. "Mrs. Wilson, you oversent."
"No, it's not. Oh, yes. Lauren asked me to add one thousand more." She told me.
"What for?" I was all confused.
"She said for taking your time yesterday." Mrs. Wilson explained.
