"Onee-sama!"

The little guy held both his arms up high with a truck in one hand.

"Yes. What is it Victor?"

A girl in her early twenties said as she bent down and picked the little child up in her arms. She smiled gently towards him as he explained.

"When is mommy coming? Everyone else has already left with their mommy and daddy."

He lowered his head down slightly, as if feeling neglected and a bit different than the other children, and his friends in the daycare. The girl slowly caressed the little boys hair with her soft hands.

"She is coming soon, don't worry Victor."

She smiled yet again and sat down on a chair, starting to read one of the little boys favorite books to lighten up his mood. As the little boy listened and played with his truck, swinging it around in the air.

And soon enough, after one hour passed, a woman who's looks looked alike the brunette little guy, showed up.

She was covered in sweat as if she was running here in a hurry, she had a worried expression on her face, but it was replaced with a smile when she saw her son.

"Mommy!"

He jumped down the girls lap and ran up to his mom and hugged her tightly as she bent down.

The girl previously sitting down, sat up and walked towards the mother-son duo with a smile.

The mother bowed down to the girl.

"I'm sorry that i'm late again."

She said and the girl only patted her head.

"It's perfectly fine, it happens to the best of us. Besides, you're my senior so please raise your head up."

The mother of the boy raised her head and then looked at her child, and gestured him to put his outerwear on.

"You're as kind as ever Sasha, it would be a shame if you stopped working here. I'm really so glad that you're working in this daycare, i wouldn't come out alive if it was anyone else."

She laughed nervously as she scratched the back of her head. And the worker only laughed along with the joke.

"I will be working here for as long as i can, if nothing major happens to me that is. But Mrs. Anderson, you should really go now, it's almost 7 o'clock and your husband will be worried if you don't get home anytime soon"

Mrs. Anderson started to panic when she realized what the time was. Her husband was so overprotective of his family that he would probably send his private guards to find out if they were okay, just like last time.

They hurriedly said their goodbye's when the little boy finished putting on his jacket and shoes, they left. Leaving the girl who was working, all alone in the daycare.

"I guess i'll finish closing this place before i can get home, it sure has been a rough day today."

She giggled at herself.





After closing the daycare, she started her car and drove all the way to her apartment.

It wasn't a big apartment or a small one, but perfectly fit for a family of three to live in.

Well, she was the only one living there, so it was quite spacious.

But it was her home and the moment she stepped in, all the novels and manga's she had read was on various different bookshelves placed in the room.
