“It’s fine. But even if you’re busy, don’t forget to eat well,” her grandmother said gently.

“I will. Thanks, Grandma.”

After hanging up, her takeout arrived. She ate quickly and then continued working until nearly 10 PM before leaving the office.

She hadn’t driven herself today, so she had called the driver half an hour earlier to arrange a ride. By the time she finished her work, the driver should have arrived.
