Jacquie's POV

I'm preparing the table for dinner until someone opened the door.

Yes, it is Jennifer.

"Hi honey" I smiled slightly looking at her holding a ton of folders in her arms.

What did Harry do?

She puts the folders on the coffee table, left her bag on the couch and went to me. "Hello ma"

"You look really exhausted, how's your first day back to work?"

She sighed hard.

Okay. Now this is a problem.

"It was fine but I guess I'm still adjusting to it"

"Are those folders work?"

She looked at the folders and back at me. "Yeah it is" She rolled her eyes.

I did nod.

"Mom I gotta ask you something"

"What is it honey?"

"You said my boss and me used to be friends and that we were close. He said that to me also. But he's acting a bit weird today."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, he's been hard to me today. He scolded me for being late and gave me tons of work and pressures me with it, all in a quite rude way. And I thought it was of my advantage that we were close friends before."

What the hell are you doing Harry?

"Oh really?"

"Yes, I really did wonder."

"Well, maybe he's just not in the mood today"

"Yeah I thought of that too"

"Honey, it'll get better soon I tell you." I assured her a smile.

"I hope so, because I wanna know how we were friends before. That's quite interesting don't you think ma?"

"Yeah, interesting" I grinned.

"Well either way, I have to work my ass off with this job I have. Because if I quit, I got nowhere else to go."

"True, so just stay strong" I smiled.

She replied with a side smile. "Anyway, I got a new neighbor over the next door."

"A he or a she?"

"A she. She's younger and nice. I helped her getting her boxes inside"

"That's great, now you two are friends"

"Yeah I got one" I smiled.

"Come on, dinner's ready" I grinned.

She nodded and we had both taken our seats.

Jacquie's POV

"Jen, I need to call and check Jena. Can you finish the dishes for me?"

"Of course mom"

"Thank you honey" I then went out the room.

Actually, it's not Jena I'm calling ... it's Harry.

I dialed his number and gladly he picked up on the third ring.

"Jacquie, is something wrong?"

"Yes, there is"

"What is it? Is Jennifer okay?"

"She's tired. What are you doing?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"
