I nodded, "Yeah."

"I got it."

Gregory's voice paused slightly, tinged with a smile, he teased, "Should I come pick you up?"

I was still a bit upset, but hearing this, my mood lightened, and I said, "No need, I drove here. But, I have to check with Chris first, might need to stop by the shop before meeting you."

No sooner had I finished speaking, Christine's call came through, and I quickly told Gregory, "Hang on, gotta take Chris's call."

As soon as I answered, Christine's voice was bright, "Jane, on your way yet?"

I smiled, "Just about to head out."

She teased playfully, "Why don't you head back up, spend a little more time cuddling with your man?"

I chuckled, "What's up?"

Christine sighed, "The newly arrived decoration company did not perform well, I've rescheduled with another company. You'd be bored waiting here." "Alright."

I replied crisply, "So... thanks for handling it?"

"Thanks for what? My salary and shares are the envy of many."

Christine laughed, then suddenly realized something, "Jane! Don't tell me you were planning to come later all along?"
