When she returned to the office, there was only half an hour left before it was time to get off work.

Luca called for a quick meeting to make rough arrangements for the next step.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended.

She received a message from Tommy after returning to the office.

[Ms. Luca, our teacher said we're on holiday now. When will you be on holiday?]

Luca was surprised when she saw the message as the kids' winter break had started early this year.

When she was still Bianca, she would go home as early as possible to spend time with her children even if she had work.

She would occasionally bring them along with her too and let them play in the office. That way, it would be easier for the nanny at home as she would not have to do house chores while taking care of the children.

Now...

Luca could not take the children with her, and her leave from work was not until next week.

She replied: [I have to wait until next week for my holiday. You have to listen to Aunt Neile while you're at home during vacation. Don't cause any trouble and do your homework.]

[I know, we'll be good.] Tommy replied quickly.

Luca's lips curled up into a smile.

She put her phone in her briefcase and turned around to leave the office.

Now, all that was left to do was make the application so that they could all get off work on time.
