Sophie and Flint could see Marissa lacing around in agitation. Rafael was expected to come around seven, but the kids were ready before six.
Even Marissa was nervous about her dress. She decided on a skirt and then a floral summer dress and then she decided, she wasn't in the mood to show off her legs.
Poor Sophia and Flint kept comforting her nerves now they also had given up. Tonight, no employee had stayed back for any order.
Marissa didn't want any of them to witness the meeting. She was already on the edge and now didn't want any more stuff on her plate.
"Can you please sit down?" Sophie gave her a sympathetic look and looked at the kids who had now gotten busy with Legos.
"Sophie," Marissa came to her friend absent-mindedly, "Don't you think these couches should be placed in L shape so that we all can face each other?"
Sophie twisted her neck to look at Flint who appeared to be busy reading a newspaper but could hear everything.
