"Director Lina!"
"Welcome back!"
All of the employees quickly rushed forward with wide eyes and bouquets of flowers. They greeted her warmly and she flashed them her brightest smile.
"Thank you," Lina stated in an amiable voice, and she truly meant it. "You've all worked hard."
At her touching words, they paused and glanced at each other in delight.
"Bonuses for everyone's dedication," Lina added with a slight wink, for the month was ending and incomes were going to be distributed soon. Before she could hear their gratitude, she turned the corner with a location in mind.
"I am surprised your husband allowed us to leave," Estella finally spoke up with a curious gaze.
"Because he knows there's nothing to love about that man," Lina responded vaguely with a slight frown whilst smoothing out the folds of her white dress.
