HATRED (series 2#)

Chapter 9

Today is Monday, my least favorite day. I woke up early, bathed my son, and breastfed him as usual. God knows how much I love him. I hardly have time for Harry due to the nature of my work, and I already feel like I'm not much of a good mother to him.

Harry immediately started crying. "Shh, don't cry. Do you want Mama to cry too? Be a good boy and stop crying," I said, gently petting his cheek. I'm doing all this for you, to give you a better life.

After a few minutes, he finally fell asleep. I took the opportunity to quickly take my own bath before heading to the kitchen to fry some pancakes.

Kylie realizes Nichole wasn't home, but then remembers that she has something to do at work. She quickly grabs her phone and checks her work schedule. "Oh no," she exclaims, realizing that she has an important meeting in just thirty minutes.

Rushing to get ready, Kylie hastily changes into her work attire and combs her hair. She grabs her bag, making sure she has all the necessary documents and her laptop. As she glances at the clock, panic sets in. She knows she needs to leave the house immediately to make it to the office on time.

Before leaving for work, Kylie takes a moment to drop off her precious little one at daycare. With a bittersweet feeling in her heart, Kylie watches as the daycare staff warmly welcomes Harry into their care. She waves goodbye with a smile, knowing that her child will be in good hands while she tackles her work responsibilities.

As Kylie walks to the bus stop, her mind is filled with a mix of worry and determination. She knows that work is important, but she also yearns to be there for her little baby every step of the way. It's a constant balancing act, trying to juggle her responsibilities as a mother and a professional.

Finally, the bus arrives, and Kylie boards it, finding a seat near the window. She gazes out at the passing buildings and bustling streets, lost in her thoughts.

Arriving at the office, Kylie takes a deep breath and prepares herself for the busy day ahead. She knows that she will give her all in the meeting and work diligently to achieve her goals.

As she enters the building, Kylie reminds herself that she is doing all of this for her son. She wants to provide him with a better life, filled with opportunities and happiness. And with that thought in mind, she walks into the meeting room, ready to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.

I called Nichole on the phone, to confirm if she could help me pick up Harry from daycare since I would be coming back late, she agreed. After hearing her feedback I called the daycare center to talk to Mrs Stanford, to initially let her know about the plan

Kylie: "Goodafternoon, ma'am. How are you today?"

Old Lady: "I'm doing fine, thank you. Long time

Me: "you know how it is, work stuff keeping me busy. By the way, how's Harry doing? Does he cry a lot?"

Old Lady: "he's such a good boy now. He doesn't cry as much as before. He's growing up so fast!"

Me: "That's great to hear! I'm glad he's doing well. Today, I won't be able to pick him up myself, but my friend will be coming instead. She's been a great help."

Old Lady: "No problem at all, Ms. Kylie. We're used to seeing Nichole here. I hope you have a wonderful day!"

Me: "Thank you, Mrs. Stanford. I appreciate your understanding. Have a fantastic day too!"
