It was unclear what was said on the other side, but Joey Thompson sighed:
"Mom, I've told you, I don't want the company, please stop mentioning it."
"You're sick, just rest at home. Your fractured bones need a hundred days to heal, so you don't need to worry so much…"
"Me? I'm at the company!"
"…Alright, fine, I just got to the company, can you please not have someone keep an eye on me?"
"I know you're doing it for my own good, but my aspirations lie elsewhere. I can make it on my own…"
"Alright, alright, I get it. Starting from tomorrow, I'll come to work on time, alright? You don't need to check my attendance…"
He continued talking as he walked forward.
Eve Thompson followed behind him, all the way to the elevator entrance. Joey finally finished speaking and sighed, seemingly exhausted, before hanging up the phone.
