At the shopping mall.
The two young girl chatted happily while shopping.
"You should get gifts for grandfather and mom, or what do you think." Emily suggested.
Laura thought it was a great idea. She should get gifts as a surprise for her family that she got the job,they would be very delighted.
"That's a good idea baby,come help me pick a gift for mom first." Laura dragged Emily to the women's section.
"What do you think mom would like? A scarf or jewelry?" Emily asked Laura,she knew her mom better than anyone.
"I think mom would prefer a scarf, what do you think?"
She knew her mom loved scarf and even valued them over jewelry so it better it she gets her a scarf instead.
Then she got a wrist watch for her brother and more knitting equipments for her grandfather.
Her grandfather loves knitting in his leisure time.
After the gifts were settled, she got a men's bracelet for Noah with his wrist watch. He would like the design.
"Okay that's all,so what do you want?" Laura asked cutely.
"M -Me? I don't need anything."
Laura looked at her seriously,"Are you rejecting me?"
Emily pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
She felt Laura had already spent a lot on gifts so she didn't want her to get her anything.
"You can't say no, let's pick an item together." Laura dragged her along.
After persuading Emily, she picked a bracelet and it was similar to Noah's gift.
She smiled brightly and said," I think I want this one, it's suits me well right?"
Laura nodded and paid for everything.
After they were satisfied with what they bought, they were reluctant to part ways.
"You must come visit me soon okay?I will be very lonely if you don't." Laura was already missing her best friend.
"Baby have you forgotten you have a job now, we might not have time to meet." Emily hugged her tightly.
"Oh no, okay after work I will make time for us don't worry."
Emily nodded and hugged her again.
Laura got into the cab and headed home.
Then she took out her phone and texted Noah.
Laura [I'm on my way home]
But Noah didn't reply immediately.
After some minutes he finally replied,[Okay,Take care]
After an hour Laura got home and was welcomed by her grandfather.
"Little one,welcome home."
Her grandfather smiled brightly at her.
"Grandfather, Why are you here all alone? Aren't you cold?" Laura was worried her grandfather will catch a cold.
"No no no no,I'm okay here and I was waiting for you." The old man explained sweetly.
He was worried that he hasn't seen her since she left for her interview this morning and now it's past 9. He was obviously worried.
But she wasn't a little girl and could take care of herself whenever she is outside.
"Alright alright, I'm here now let's go inside." Laura helped him up with one hand while carrying the gifts with her other hand.
Laura was happy her grandfather didn't ask her about the interview,she wanted to make it a surprise for everyone.
"I can walk just fine, you're carrying so much already." Grandfather said as he opened the door for Laura.
The old man saw the gifts and didn't say anything.
"Mhmm"
"Mom? Brother? I'm home." Laura yelled to make her presence known.
