One month later, on December 27th, 2022, the Christmas holidays had come and gone in the blink of an eye. And now the work had to begin. Lola, on the other hand, never stopped working, even on Christmas Day; she was like a dog, never letting go of a task she set her mind to.
"How was your holiday, madam?"Marco asked, as he walked into Lola's office with a hand full of files while Lola was busy signing some documents.
"Oh, the usual, work, work, and never-ending work," Lola replied.
"Oh, okay," Marco replied with an awkward smile as he placed the documents on her desk.
'She worked on Christmas? Madam is strange.'
"Have you checked everything?" She inquired.
"Yes, madam, all that is required is your signature," Marco replied.
Maria stormed in, beaming from ear to ear.
"I want you to go shopping with me, Lola!" she yelled.
"No, I'm not coming with you," Lola stated emphatically. "I will pay for everything, just come with me please!!" Maria said, her smile fading.
