" Why would I find myself an excuse?"
" If you say so, then, we'll believe you."
" We'll take our leave." Have a good day, Ying Yue!"
" Likewise!"
Salasha and Erie left for work. Ying Yue still had an hour ahead of her before hitting the road. She looked through her messages and realized that due to her busy schedule, she hadn't been reading any of her messages.
She had messages like, " When are we meeting again?" from Aki Takahashi and another like, " Good morning, Ying Yue! Just wanted to check up on you." from Akio Suzuki.
(I have lots and lots of messages which I didn't reply to. They must truly miss me. I'll get back to them by next week.)
" Let's go to work!"
An hour later, Ying Yue headed to the palace. When she got there, the imperial family had just finished having breakfast.
" Good day, your majesty!" She bowed before them.
" Good morning, Ying Yue!"
" Ying Yue, good morning!"
