Chapter 75

• “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANAAAA!!”
• I was surprised when everyone gathered in the living room and greeted me by shouting Happy birthday! My friends from management also came, Benjamin, Peter, Jessica, Rebecca, Edward and Ramona, even Eden and his wife were also here, oh, God! It must have been Caroline who invited them; this was a complete surprise. I looked at all of them with feelings of emotion. My mother was the first to approach and hug me; she was crying. “Well, my mother is indeed a melancholic woman,” My Inner Goddess rolled her eyes in a rebuke. Caroline became the second person to come to me and congratulate me. I love this hug, a special one from Caroline Cortez; she kissed my cheeks like my mom did.
• “My sister in crime,” she said with a sly smile of a million meanings. I tried to imitate her smile, and we laughed together; she was always there for me. When it was Ronald’s turn to hug me, the man seemed to want to crush me. It was a special hug—a Ronald Cortez.
