A week has passed since Cindy's mom died. Surely it was one of the worst time of her life. She met her ex-husband, had an unwanted makeout session, stayed over at his place then her mom died. (Hope fl will forgive me)

The weather seemed quite good. There were no clouds in the sky, just the beautiful bright sun.... with 28°C temperature ^-^. Cindy woke up early because it was way too hot and her air conditioner isn't working. Her hair was wet from sweat, she looked haggard.
Cindy: Owen.. Olivia... wake up..
She tried to wake her kids up, despite the hot weather they were sleeping soundly. It was still 6:30am in the morning so Cindy gave in and went to shower alone. After taking a shower, she hurriedly woke Owen and Olivia up.
Cindy: GET UP RIGHT NOW THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!!
:WHAT!!?WHERE!?
Cindy: Go get dressed, we're getting late for school.
Owen: But mom...it's summer vacation..
Cindy:...
(Yes Cindy, they still got summer vacation but you don't because you're an adult now)
Cindy: I should hire a nanny for you two.
Olivia: We can stay with uncle Matthew.
Cindy: He can't always take care of you two. He got his own work too.
The doorbell rang making Cindy jump from surprise.
Cindy: Who is here at this early in the morning..
Cindy was still wearing her bathrobe. She peeped through the peephole, she was shocked. It was Aunt Carla. She quickly opened the door, "Aunt what brings you here this early in the morning? Everything alright?"
Carla: You should say good morning at first, and no nothing happened. I came her to take care of my little grandchildren!
As soon as Olivia and Owen heard Aunt Carla's voice they all rushed to her.
:Aunt Carla we missed you so much!
Carla: I missed you too!!
Cindy: It will be too much for you... I'm gonna get a nanny for them.
Carla: I don't have much work at home anyway dear. Please let me do it?
Cindy: okay fine as you wish.
Cindy smiled and went to cook breakfast.

After having the breakfast she quickly got dressed up for work.
Cindy:oh god it's already 7:30, I can't be late again!!
Carla: You can go with Alex, wait I'll call him.
Carla took out her phone from her bag and was going to call Alex when Cindy stopped her.
Cindy:NO NO don't!!
Carla: but you two work at same place, it's gonna be faster.
Cindy: No don't call him,please, I'll go by myself.
Carla: it's ok, he is around here. He had some errands to complete.
Cindy: But-
Carla: No buts. I called him.
Alex was waiting on the street when Carla called.
Alex: how long?
Carla: Go to the office with Cindy, she is coming.
Alex: okay.
Carla hung up the phone and smiled mischievously.
Cindy: You didn't have to do this.
Carla smiled, "He will be here in 5 minutes go downstairs!
Cindy shrugged, "Alright".
It was nothing but one of the Aunt Carla's weird plan. She asked Alex that she will go to Cindy's place in the morning and told him to wait for her as it won't take much time. She put on an act that Alex was around the area just to make him and Cindy go to office together. And she was successful.
