Walker’s tone was flat. "I’m only sleeping three hours a day to get the work here done. Where would I find the time to mess with you?"
Chloe Reed gripped her phone tightly. "Then when exactly are you coming back?"
Walker paused for a moment before saying, "Maybe... another seven days."
"You!"
Chloe was seething.
But his attitude was already clear. What else could she say?
She hung up on him.
Chloe took a deep breath to calm herself down.
She turned and went back to the living room, where her grandmother looked at her. "What’s wrong, Chloe?"
Chloe shook her head. "It’s nothing."
She sat down beside her grandmother and said, "Grandma, my current project is almost finished. I’m planning on opening my own studio next."
"Yes, that’s a good idea."
Her grandmother nodded. "It’s better to be your own boss than to work for someone else."
"Yeah. I’ll get to choose scripts or novels and anime that I like. I’ll probably be very busy in the future." Chloe linked her arm with her grandmother’s. "I won’t be able to spend as much time with you."
"That’s alright. You go ahead and be busy. I won’t hold you back," her grandmother said with a warm smile.
But Chloe said, "Don’t be silly. You’re my rock. Knowing you’re here supporting me gives me the motivation to do anything."
Her words made her grandmother very happy.
Now that she had a plan, she began to make preparations.
Two days later, Annie York contacted her.
"Miss Reed, I think I’m all better now. I can leave the hospital," Annie York said, her voice timid.
Chloe Reed replied, "I’ll let the doctor tell me whether you’ve recovered."
