"Thanks for your hard work." Sitting in his chair, Scott stared at the woman who put the file on his desk and said briefly.
She had no time to tell her mother that she hadn't come back yet. So she had to make a phone call as soon as possible.
"Boss, can I go out and make a call?"
"Yes." Scott agreed without any hesitation. When he saw her leaving in a hurry, he heard a faint voice from the corridor.
"Mom, I have to work overtime today. I don't have time to go back. You don't have to wait for me to go to bed early,"
"Michelle, how do you feel tonight in your office? How about I pick you up home? It's too late now. I'm worried about you if you work overtime alone. " The voice of Olivia came from the other end of the phone.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm an adult now and I'll be fine. Besides, the place where I work is a large company. Some security guards will be on duty. It's all right. "
After a lot of persuasion, Olivia finally hung up the phone. Michelle looked down at the phone, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She thought she would be able to stay with her mother once she went back to work, but she didn't expect that she would be so busy with her work. Sometimes she even didn't have the energy to cook when she came back home.
She suddenly felt that she was an unfilial daughter.
It was the first time that she had been so busy, and she was a little unaccustomed to it. But this was the daily life of the secretary.
A few moments later, someone delivered the takeout and she was starving the whole day. Seeing the delicious food, Michelle couldn't stand it any more. She pressed her lips and watched the slow action of Scott, which made her a little anxious.
