âshe looks⦠familiar,â Lyla whispered, but she quickly brushed off the thought and urged Doran to take the spot with her.
The vacant spot was more than enough for their family of three, with room to spare for a few more people to camp.
Lyla set down their belongings with glee, as if she had won a prize.
âMommy, I want to fly my kite,â their son said, holding a small fish-shaped kite.
âsure, go ahead,â Lyla replied absentmindedly, her attention elsewhere.
It was a beautiful day, and even though it was early spring, Lyla was already sweating from being in the sun for a while.
She fanned herself with her small fan and arranged their food on a blue plastic sheet.
She had bought the sheet the previous night, and it was cheap and of poor quality, easily prone to tearing.
Doranâs impatience was evident as the plastic sheet kept covering his face due to the wind.
He couldnât help but express his frustration, âWhy did you buy this cheap plastic sheet? We should have gotten a better one.
Weâre here to have fun, why be stingy?â
Lyla ignored his comment and rolled her eyes in her mind.
Doran was a classic example of being poor and desperate for social status.
He had no idea about the difficulties of managing a household.
If it werenât for the secret support of Lylaâs parents, they would have struggled to make ends meet.
As Doran continued to complain, Lyla sat with her back to him.
But when she looked up, she saw a familiar face â Ariana! Lyla recognized her from the clothes she was wearing; she was the woman who had pushed the wheelchair earlier.
Lyla was surprised.
âWhy are you here?â She looked around and realized that she had taken Arianaâs spot.
Arianaâs face darkened.
âThis is my spot.
Please leave.
â
Doran heard a commotion and turned to see a stunning woman.
He walked over to
Lyla and asked, âDo you two know each other?â
Lylaâs response was sharp, âThis is the colleague who spread rumors about me in the company.

Doranâs expression hardened as he looked at Ariana.
âWhat do you mean this is your spot? There was no one here when we arrived,â
Lyla said confidently.
Ariana didnât want to waste time on this, so she stated plainly, âI purchased this spot.
â
Lyla smiled slyly, âInteresting, I didnât know you could buy land here.
Do you have any real estate proof to show?â
Ariana was left speechless.
It turned out that Lyla was determined to make things difficult for her.
She wasnât going to leave the spot.
Moreover, Lyla was determined to stay on the spot despite Ariana telling her that she had spent money to purchase the spot.
Lyla would not give it up.
