Erica remembers the man's face who is wearing a coat and the little hair on her arms are standing up. She grew up in a world where she met different kinds of men, and she feels that the man is somewhat dangerous.
ERICA POV WHILE COOKING
The way he stares into my eyes as if reading into my soul and mind. Ugh! That man is dangerous. I am just glad I will never meet him. I just hope he will not come again in the shop. He makes me scared.

At Home:
Lily
Hi my dearest !!! (Kissing Erica in the cheeks)
Narrator
Erica is not surprised that she is reeks of alcohol. She will be even surprised if she comes home without the smells of it.
Erica
Would you join me in the table for dinner?
Lily
Oh no no no no ! (Shaking her head and even using her point finger to say no) I have dinner with the CEO of some big company. Hmm mm... I might even help you to get a job in that company, what do you think?!
Erica
(Smiles, and help her to remove her shoes) I am only in grade 11 and I don't think I need your help ...
Lily
( She lay in the bed while Erica is helping her) But I want to help you my dearest! ( Pouting like a child)
Erica
Thank you and I love you too! ( She is now closing the light and the door for her to sleep)
Lily
I wanted to be a help to you. You know that I am proud of you right?
Erica
I know. And you are all that I have . ( Before she closed the door.)
