"I'm really sorry. I don't think I can make it for tonight's dinner. You kids have dinner and eat without me, okay?"
Her tired voice from the other line made Athasia's heart sympathize with her. Adreanne must be working hard since this morning. She has a company to save and a daughter to support and feed.
Knowing that she can't come to their promised dinner together wasn't a big deal for the young miss. She really didn't want to get in her way because she also had plans for herself. As long as people believe that she's the real Athasia, everything is okay.
Athasia put the phone on a loudspeaker before placing it on her desk. "Don't worry, mom. We can have dinner tomorrow or on another day. Just don't overwork yourself too." She started combing her hair to the sides and made a ponytail.
By this, the woman on the other line chuckled. "Of course. How am I supposed to have dinner with you kids if I overwork myself, hmm?"
