Meanwhile in Iris' villa, Jeremy and Felicity ate their pizza and watched their mom and Rachel fight wondering the same thing, [ Is she really our mother? ] " Give me back my phone Rachel "!
Iris had been pinned to the floor by Rachel who was sitting on her back and trying to go through her pictures. No matter how long her hands were, Rachel was always out of reach along with her phone " Not until I see pictures ".
Rachel frowned as she looked at the incorrect password and groaned, " You still do this? Locking everything on your phone ". Iris smiled as she gathered enough energy to move and tipped Rachel off, " There are people like you everywhere ".
She reached out for her phone as Rachel fell into the couch, " Who don't mind their business ". A notification popped up as the two were scrambling for the phone and they mistakenly pressed it.
Iris was taken to her blog page immediately. There was a new job request and they'd just accepted it. Well, technically they'd only opened the person's proposal but Iris knew she had to do it since she'd opened it.
She glared at Rachel who was avoiding her gaze, " Look what you done gone did Rayray ". Rachel pinched her fingers together, trying to look guilty " It was an accident ". Iris sighed as she got up and ruffled her blonde curls, " We'll settle this later ".
Iris kissed Jeremy and Felicity and took her backpack that was beside the sofa, " I'll be right back, just let me deal with this ". Jeremy and Felicity nodded and continued to eat their lunch. Iris walked upstairs, staring at her phone and Rachel sighed, " How does your momma do that without falling over "?
Jeremy and Felicity laughed and looked up at Iris who had still not looked up from her phone, " We're not sure, it's one of mommy's many superpowers ". Rachel nodded in agreement and picked a slice of pizza, " Are either of you gonna tell me what you've been up to for the past year "?
Felicity let out a lazy sigh and was about to spill when Jeremy held one hand out over her lips and the other towards Rachel. He had a keen smile on his face, " You didn't think it'd be that easy Aunty Rayray, did you "?
Rachel laughed slightly, " Fine, tell me what you want in exchange ". Jeremy's smile didn't let up as he had a somewhat secret conversation with his sister, whispering in each others ears before nodding in agreement.
Rachel found the picture cute, especially since they both looked like Iris. [ I'm sure that's how her head makes important decisions ] and they both looked at her saying at the same time, " We want a TV ".
Rachel's face twitched, she didn't expect them to ask for something so odd [ As ridiculous as their mother too ] Felicity stretched her hands out, " The flat screen kind ". Jeremy nodded in agreement and held out his fingers, " And we want all the channels ".
Rachel couldn't help hut laugh at herself since she knew she would get it for them, " Alright, what about my information ". Felicity smiled coyly, " You get it when we get our TV ".
Rachel frowned slightly, " That could take a long time ". Jeremy nodded, " We know, so you should hurry up and start ordering ". Rachel squeezed the pillow beside her as she turned on her phone,muttering to herself " And as shameless as her too ".

Iris had barely set up in the still plain study when she kept on receiving messages from her new client. She switched to her laptop, her notepad and pencil ready as she was already counting the dollars that would soon be in her account.
She was surprised when she received a video request. Her phone lit up at the same time, a notification for a sudden transaction from Captain Corporations for a thousand dollars.
Iris couldn't help but smile as she tried to look presentable. She was in loose black shorts and a matching black spaghetti strap which she wore with a grey crop top that fell off at one side revealing the tattoo on her left arm.
She massaged her cheeks, trying to stop herself from smiling and accepted the video request. It connects instantly but all she could see was black and voices, they seemed to be fighting.
Iris tapped the camera, " Hello, is anyone there "? The voices stopped immediately and the hand on the camera slowly moved revealing a handsome blonde man who had brown eyes.
He's eyes widened in shook and his mouth formed a big 0 as he suddenly started laughing hysterically, " I can't believe I finally met you Remi's city. I have so many questions ". Iris only laughed as she smiled gently, " Nice to meet you two and you can ask as many questions as you want ".
His eyes became even wider as he spoke earnestly, " Really "? Iris nodded, " Really " [ I charge by the hour so talk to your hearts content ]
