"She's doing well," the assistant replied. "She's been very busy with work lately and hasn't been able to visit you."

"Busy with work, huh," Sally felt a twinge of disappointment but said, "That's good. Being busy with work is a good sign. She's a big star now, and she'll only get more successful. Having lots of work means she has a bright future. I'm really happy for her."

"Alright, Sally, I have to get back to work," the assistant said.

"Okay." Sally could not see Miranda in person, but she looked at the thermos bottles in her hand and quickly handed them to the assistant. "I made this chicken soup myself. She must be too busy to eat properly. Please give it to her so she can have it when she has some time."

The assistant took the thermos bottles. "Sure, I'll make sure she gets it."

With that, the assistant went back inside.
