Chapter 7

"Of course! I'll be there shortly!" Willow replied hastily.

The miserable feeling in her chest completely dissipated.

She had sent her resume to Hughes Corporation while she was on the train the day before. She didn't think that she'd actually get a response.

A corporation like that would definitely pay well.

"I'll be going for an interview now, Mom. Take care of the kids; stop playing poker. We should be honest people. We can't be greedy, or we'll end up horribly because of it," Willow said to Lara after she was done with her food.

"Thank you for your consideration, but you need to be doing the right thing too. Poker is gambling. If you get addicted, what do you think will happen to me and my kids?"

Willow knew that Lara was just trying to help, but it'd be really bad if she continued down this path.

She had a duty to pull Lara back to prevent her from going astray.

"Me too," Julian said.
