Chapter 32 The Vase

“Hello?” 

Without so much as a glance at the caller ID, Charlotte picked up the ringing phone from her desk and brought it to her ear.

“Lottie, Sheryl and I are in the restaurant right downstairs from your office building. Quick, come join us.” It was Anne.

“I’m sorry, Anne, but I’m still working on something right now.”

“But it’s already the weekend, plus it’s time for lunch! No amount of work calls for starving yourself. Besides, Sheryl misses you a lot,” Anne said in protest.

‘The weekend?’ Charlotte blinked.

Her fingers paused mid-action and the pen she was twirling swiftly landed on her desk.

Subconsciously, her eyes darted to scan her desk calendar. To her surprise, it was, in fact, already the weekend. However, this was nothing out of the norm; it was easy for Charlotte to lose track of time once she got her hands on work.
