In the main entry hall…
"Thank you for meeting with us, Liz…", Sabrina said while giving Liz a big hug.
"Don't worry about it, Rina."
Liz didn't want Sabrina to make a big deal out of this. Today is Liz's day in the lab, and she can take breaks anytime because her interns are proficient in dealing with minor tasks independently. Liz mostly gives them what to work on, and then checks on their progress later.
Sabrina introduced Liz to Adam, Cynthia, and Angela.
Liz helped Adam and Cynthia to connect with the right nurse who whisked them to their appointment, and then Liz went with Sabrina and Angela to her office.
"Is it OK for us to stay here?", Sabrina asked Liz while making herself comfortable on the sofa.
"Yes, don't worry about it. I don't have patients today. Would you like something to drink while we wait?"
