Outsiders weren't aware of the conversation in the special department.
By now, Nora had already returned to the Smiths'.
Tanya and Joel's wedding was over, and all of them had gone home. As she was worried about Karl, Tanya was feeling rather down in the dumps. Knowing that she wasn't in the best of moods, everyone else left early.
The moment Nora got home, her cell phone rang.
When she picked up the call, Justin's voice rang out on the other end. "I took Cherry out for a stroll. She seemed a little unhappy."
Nora nodded. "… Oh, okay."
She obviously sounded as lazy as usual, yet the sharp Justin nonetheless sensed something. He asked, "In a bad mood?"
"Yeah."
Nora didn't like to whine, so she had always mulled over everything quietly by herself.
But when faced with Justin's question, she couldn't help but say, "I've been fired by the special department."
