"Eve?! Why aren't you at work?"
Andie strode out of the kitchen. Her stormy blue eyes fluttered as her best friend ran up the stairs. Loud footsteps stomped against the floorboards. The backpack bounced from the climb.
"No time to talk. I'm late!"
"Gee, you don't say?" Andie mumbled. She rubbed the side of her temple and headed back to the kitchen. When Eve hadn't shown up, she figured that her best friend went straight to the office.
Papers replaced the usual array of food and equipment. Despite having a study table, Andie always preferred to work in the kitchen. A laptop sat in front of a stool. Her fingers tapped on the keyboard and opened a document.
The bakery was having an event soon.
Children would be invited to bake and learn about it. The session would be completely free. For today, she needed to conduct the budget. She used that as an excuse to stay at home. Her co-workers would have constantly disturbed her otherwise.
