Late part 2

After the meeting, Mary sat in her chair, facing a computer and her fingers on the keyboard. She kept dozing off so she used both of her hands to slap her cheeks. The office workers looked at her in shock but didn't ask her anything.

She thought to herself, you need to be serious Mary, this is a big project! If we succeed, you can take your brother out and eat or even better, you can get a day off and spend your time with your brother. Wait, snap out of it Mary. We can do the planning later. Just do your project first!

Mary snapped out of it and did her work. She placed her fingers on the keyboard, her face really close to the screen and typed.

     After a while, she did her work. She looked at the time and it was so late. She stood up and packed her documents. Suddenly, something knocked on her table. She was taken aback, she slipped on one of the papers and fell back to her chair.

She heard a chuckle in front of her, she looked up and saw Emily looking at her. She said in an exhausted voice, "Bro, I've been waiting for you to notice me for ages."Mary stood back up and said in an annoyed tone, "Then, why didn't you call me and don't be so dramatic."

"Eh, Mary are you mad? Are you annoyed?"

Mary quickly gathered up her documents again and moved to her computer to save the progress of her project.

"Mary don't ignore me, I'm going to be sad and by that like really sad."

"I know, you won't be that sad. You have tons of friends."

Mary packed finished and walked away. Emily dashed towards Mary and hugged her.

"I'm sorry for not calling you, ok? Just please don't ignore me!"Emily said with a pitiful look.

"Fine! But still stop hugging me like that! You're heavy!"

Emily let go and stood next to her crossing her hands on her stomach.

'Mary, you're so mean. You wouldn't mind me doing this when we're young. Is it because of your little bro-'

'SHUT UP!'

Mary raised her voice and Emily flinched a little. Mary noticed and changed her tone to a troubled voice.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. It's just that I need to fetch my brother."

Then, Mary disappeared behind the door. Emily still looking shocked, suddenly let out a chuckle. "Oh, Mary. You'll never change."She mumbled in a happy tone."Whenever it comes to your brother, you'll get pissed off so easily."She let out a sighed and walked to the door and disappeared behind it.

Mary dashed out of the door and kept pressing the down button at the lift. After a few minutes passed, it still didn't open.

It's taking too long, she thought to herself. It'll be faster if I take the stairs.

She rushed down the stairs, jumping three steps at a time. She almost slipped and fell but managed to hold the handle.

She rushed to her car and drove away. After a while, she arrived at her brother's school. Jack was talking to a teacher, he seemed sad.

Mary opened the window and called out to Jack. Jack looked at her with a smile, he waved goodbye to the teacher and rushed into the car.

He entered the car and said, "sister, you're late."Mary looked at him with an apologetic look and said," I'm sorry, work has been really busy lately."

"It's alright, sister. I'm not mad but please don't overwork. When I grow up, I'll take care of you."

Mary looked away from her brother and drove away with a smile.

"You're so cute," Mary said joyfully while petting Jack's head. Jack looked at her and smiled happily.
