"The meeting was canceled last minute, and I forgot my phone again. You wouldn't believe how inconvenient it is not to have your phone these days..."
As Ava spoke, she reached her desk and was about to grab her phone when Zoe stopped her.
"Ava, did you forget that we can't use our phones during work hours?"
Seeing Zoe's anxious expression, Ava knew Zoe must have caused some trouble again. However, she smiled and said, "This is for work, not for fun."
Zoe retracted her hand awkwardly, looking uneasy, her fingers nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. She glanced at Ava cautiously, "Ava, I think I messed up again..."
Ava just smiled, "I could tell by the look on your face. I'm mentally prepared. Go ahead, tell me. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I won't dock too much of your pay."
