This ti she wasn’t planning on leaving the kids and decided to do so traveling with them while gathering more content.
Olinda and rita were both happy as this was the first ti, they were both leaving the forest to go to other places.
Alayna left the shop for Elena once more and teleported to Ciliren as she didn’t want to use her car at the mont. At least once she starts gaining more popularity, she will use it.
Alayna booked two rooms at a hotel, one for herself and one for the kids. The three of them spend the day exploring the market and buying whatever caught their eyes.
On the second day, Alayna left the kids at the hotel while she did so exploring. There was a rchant she recently sold so stuff to who was in Ciliren and she wanted to check him.
As she didn’t know where the other was stationed, she could only roam around while taking in the scenery. Who knew that as she walked, soone recognized her?
{Lady boss, what are you doing here?} it was an angelic female voice and one that she didn’t even recall.
Alayna didn’t think much and simply turned around to see who was calling her. At this point, she didn’t even let it register in her mind that she wasn’t the only female lady boss around.
The city was huge and there were so many business ladies, it was quite different like when she is in Dark Forest where she is the only lady boss.
{I didn’t expect to co across you at all, I am glad that you are the one!} the young lady who looked roughly around sixteen exclaid happily like a child who has seen her favorite idol.
Alayna simply smiled at the little girl and said, "he he, I am just roaming around and looking at the city. Wasn’t expecting to see soone who knows !"
The young girl was very happy to have a chance to have a one-to-one talk with her idol, even her friends couldn’t help but gawk looking at her acting like a child like this.
They also knew the lady boss but they didn’t idolize her as much as this friend of theirs.
{I should thank my ancestors then. Where are you going? I know a lot of people, so it will be much easier to help you!}
Alayna didn’t look down on the little girl simply because she is young, kids from rich families were abnormal and most of them already has businesses, it was only the poor that struggled and face harsh realities.
"Since I ca across you, I will look for whatever I wanted later. How about you show around?" Alayna decided to stop her agenda for a while and hear so juicy gossip from the little girl.
The little girl was overjoyed when she heard this and she didn’t even bother to hide it, "sure, let’s do it. Lady boss, by the way, you can call Janet and these two are my best friends, Susan and Portia. We frequent your shop often."
Alayna felt happy seeing kids who really loved what she was doing so she didn’t mind spending so ti with them, "perfect, it’s nice to et you and if you don’t mind, you can spend the day with my kids too. They are at the hotel."
The girls’ eyes lit up when they heard this, it wasn’t easy to see the lady boss’s children at all and seeing rita, especially the author of that wonderful book, they beca even more excited.
As much as Alayna wanted to explore the city and hear so juicy gossip, she couldn’t just spend her ti with kids when her own were cooped up at the hotel.
So, she took the three girls to the hotel where she was staying and introduced the girls to each other. The kids clicked imdiately and she got dragged with them to see interesting places.
When it was getting dark, a servant from Janet’s house ca to invite her and the kids for dinner at Janet’s house and Alayna didn’t see the need to decline. So, she took her kids with her and went to visit with so gifts.
Janet is the only girl in the family with three brothers, her father has one legal wife and two concubines and the house is very harmonious. Whatever Janet wants, the whole family will do their best to satisfy her.
So, when she started getting curious about the mysterious shop, all they could do was indulge her and give her more allowance but when they tasted the delicacies, they began to support her 100%.
So, when they heard from the servants that the famous lady boss was with their girl, how can they not be anxious?
They weren’t very influential but they were doing okay and getting acquainted with a bigshot like Alayna was an opportunity they couldn’t let slip off their fingers.
Seeing the person responsible for so many great achievents, they couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction. Despite Alayna being forty-three and going forty-four, she looked very young that one would mistake her for soone in her early twenties now.
Looking at the warm faces that ca to welco her, Alayna flashed a genuine smile at the people.
"Welco to our humble abode, we are sorry for inviting you at such short notice!" Janet’s father humbly spoke as he looked at Alayna without any lecherous thoughts visible in his eyes.
Alayna was satisfied with the way this older man was talking to her that her impression of the family increased further.
"It’s not an issue, thank you for inviting us, it ans a lot to us!"
She could tell that this family ans well, so there was no need for her to raise up her guard.
Alayna and the kids were taken to the living room where everyone introduced each other and they got to know each other well after that.
As it was late, it was ti for dinner, so everyone went to the dining room where delicious food was served.
Looking at the smiles on her kid’s faces, she felt a bit bad, it has always been the three of them or four when Neal was still with them, they barely had contact with others.
Maybe it was ti to let her kids fly instead of confining them to the house. Every child deserves a happy childhood, she shouldn’t be strict.
The eting went perfectly well and Alayna also sat down privately with Janet’s father to talk about business-related stuff.
The man wanted to be her partner so they discussed it in detail and so of her pressing issues were also solved on this night.
Alayna wanted to open a second post office in Ciliren at the mont and help from Janet’s father solved that.
Although the problem was solved, Alayna and the kids didn’t leave the city but stayed for more days while she settled in the new building that she bought which was a three-story building.
Receiving Janet’s father’s help lessened the tedious process of going through several channels to acquire a building.
She also contracted one of the best construction teams in the city and left the design for them to deal with.
They stayed for one week in total in Ciliren before returning back ho. The magazines were ready and she wanted to distribute them, the one month she had promised before was already due and this was a mistake but she couldn’t be blad, she had been pressed with a lot of things.
When they reached ho, Alayna sat down with the girls to have a one-to-one conversation which was due.
"Girls, I have realized sothing, and it’s ti that we talk. Are you guys’ happy living here by yourselves?"
The kids panicked when they heard this. To be honest, they didn’t lack anything at all, they have other things even the royal family didn’t have like the internet and all that but they were lonely.
They didn’t have friends and online friends were good but they didn’t compare to friends one gets to see face to face.
"I will talk for myself, I am happy being living here because everything that mom gives us, we can’t find it anywhere but I think we need so exposure and make a few friends," Olinda calmly answered as she looked at Alayna with resolute eyes.
"And you Rita?" Alayna directed the question to rita who was busy playing nervously with her fingers.
"I … umm… can I go to school?" rita wasn’t interested in going to any sect to cultivate, her talent wasn’t good and she didn’t want to make herself insane by cultivating.
Writing was her passion but sohow, she had missed hanging out with friends and having fun as a kid.
"Are you sure that you want to go to school?"
"Yes, this way I can et so friends and also expand my horizon. The books require a lot of resources and maybe I can get inspiration by being with others and it doesn’t hurt having more friends," rita answered Alayna.
Alayna nodded her head upon hearing that, "sure, you girls can do whatever you want. Nothing will happen to you; I will make sure of that. So, tell what you all want to do?"
