Reyona’s phone was vibrating even while she had her meeting with Gibson.
But after seeing the caller ID, she silenced the phone.
Immediately after she came out of the law firm, she called her back.
“Hello, ma. Are you alright, ma?”
“Of course, I am alright,” Reyona answered, even as her stomach rumbled with hunger.
She remembered that she had not had anything to eat since morning.
Remembering Celia’s ridiculous spread that morning only made her hunger increase.
She couldn’t believe a lot had happened in just one day.
“That is good to know. I think you shouldn’t come here for now, though. You can stay where you are and just have a good time.”
That got Reyona’s interest and took her mind off the thoughts of food.
“Why? What is happening?” She asked without the slightest apprehension.
“Nothing. I just feel like you needed the break, ma. So, just take enough time for yourself. You can even take some days off and come to work later.”
