Akira followed Sayaka while Hanae followed behind her all the while humming a jolly tune. Akira lifted her suitcase with ease when they reached the stairs. However, to Sayaka, she thought her short daughter was struggling under the weight of the bag.
"Akira, let me call someone to help you with your suitcase." She stopped on the steps.
Her daughter had already refused her help, so she did not want to push further. However, she could get one of the maids or butlers to help.
Akira could not keep walking when Sayaka stopped, so she also had to stop with her suitcase in hand. She did not place the luggage on the step.
"It is alright. I prefer to carry it myself." She said.
"Auntie, you are making her stand on the stairs while holding her suitcase." Hanae chirped from behind with a small giggle. "Are you sure you are trying to help?"
