章 235: Collecting pictures

Scarlet ran into the living room at full speed, almost tripping over the carpet. Still, she regained her balance at the last moment and threw herself on Lara.

«Mommy, mommy! I have something to show you!»

«Yes?» Lara chuckled, hugging the girl.

«But first, I missed you so much.»

Only after a long hug and a peck on the head, did Scarlet let go of her mother and sat next to her. She opened her backpack and showed the pack of magazines she had in it.

«What is this, Scarlet? Where did you find...»

«It was on the tables,» she explained. «The tables in the hallways.»

«You sneaked out from school!»

«No. I waited for Nate to come to pick us up. Then, I saw it while he was talking with Secretary Jack, and I decided to collect them all.»

«You shouldn't do this, Scarlet. I will buy you as many magazines as you want, but these are supposed to stay in the waiting room. They're for the clients to read while waiting.»
