The next day was better, just like Grace had hoped.
Her grandmother did not have any kind of episode today. Instead, she was greeted by a breakfast prepared by her grandmother for her. It was delicious if she even had to say it.
There was no traffic today, she had left early, and when she arrived at the office, most of the floor was empty, too. It slowly filled up and Penny arrived five minutes before the usual time. She seemed surprised to see Grave there too.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, much." Grace grinned. "Thank you for asking. I did not make you too busy yesterday because of my absence, did I?"
"No. I and the other assistant, Gloria, did well together and since you took Most of the work home, we were actually able to leave an hour early."
"Great." She felt a bit relieved. "Do you think you can give me an hour of lunch away?"
Penny did not get it. "But you always have an hour of lunch."
