"Bleurgh..." Luna twitched and reached out to grasp Lulu's hair with her tiny hand! "It's alright." Lulu could not help smiling when she saw that and turned back to Zachary. "It's alright, Mr. Slate- we're right outside the apartment compound. I'd like to take Luna out for a stroll, and I'll just walk inside." While neither Zachary nor Lulu were looking at Erma, Erma started to reach for Lulu.

Zachary reacted right then, grabbing Erma''s wrist and shoving her aside, almost knocking her off her feet. He glared icily at her, leaving her petrified! "Your severance fee has been paid," he growled. "So I don't want to see you near this place ever again. Do you understand?" His intimidating glare left Erma petrified and hanging her head in fear. And with that warning, Zachary strode into the apartment himself. Meanwhile, Lulu had already brought Luna back to the apartment, feeling curious even as she opened the door.
"Weird..." she mused to herself. "Doesn't he usually work late into the night? He cback really early today..." Just then, the door opened again with a click, and the warm glow from within spilled out.
Lulu put aside the new clothes she just bought before putting Luna in her cradle.
"Good girl," she said with a smile, poking Luna's little cheeks. "Let's get you smilk!" There were many tins of baby formula though the last one was finished. The door opened with a click again when she arrived at the living room with the baby bottle, and she saw Zachary returning.

He glanced at her briefly before turning away. "It's already tto feed Luna?"
"Yes," she replied, hanging up the suit he took off and left on the couch. At the stime, Zachary looked m around to see that the house had been cleaned, and he said, "I'll get a new housemaid in a couple days." With that, he turned and started to head for Luna's room.
"Actually..." Lulu suddenly said behind him, still holding Luna's bottle. "What?" Zachary turned at the M doorway of Luna's bedroom, straightening when he saw that Lulu appeared hesitant. "You can speak freely." Lulu frowned, her fingers tightening around the baby bottle as she said, “If I'm allowed, I'd like to cook your baby's meals."
Before Zachary could speak, Lulu added, "As a professional child care worker, I've been trained in cooking proper nutritious meals for children. If you're hiring, a maid, you can leave the housework to her, while I'll handle everything for your child, should I have your confidence." Babies should start weaning around four months after birth, and before she returned to the country, Lulu had researched all the safe food products across the country. Now, she had an idea of what she should cook. "That's good," Zachary said, nodding and appearing delighted. "You are a professional like you said—I have nothing to worry about by leaving Luna's care to you." Then, after another long look at her, Zachary turned and headed into Luna's room.
