OLIVIA'S POV
“So, you're heading out now… aren't you?” My mom asked, looking at me sternly.
I groaned. I had forgotten that I had promised to represent her in the town's carnival planning. “Must I go for this thing?”
“Like I said the other eighty times you asked me, this is our way of getting back into the SkyCity society. I want us to know that we are back, like we never left.” She said, busying herself with folding laundry. “I would have attended if not for the fact that it's by two and I have lunch with a client by then.”
“Ugh! Fine! I'll go.”
She smiled and walked out of the room.
