I smiled. "What's bothering you?"
Caroline hesitated for a while before saying, "Just a question, Ma'am. It's going to be National Day soon. Do you have any plans?"
I realized what was going on at once. She wanted to ask me when the national day holiday was going to be.
Keith was normally the one who arranged all these things. He was probably so busy lately that he had forgotten to inform Caroline.
I asked her, "Are you going home for the new year?"
Caroline nodded. "My son and his wife will be going home for the new year. I'd love to go back and visit them."
"Have you bought the tickets?"
Caroline seemed a little awkward and said, "Not yet. M y son will book them for me after I know when my break is."
I nodded to show that I understood. "Ask your son to book the ticket now, then. It’ll be harder to book in two more days."
Caroline's face broke into a grin at once. "Thank you, Mrs. Grant."
After grabbing some snacks from the kitchen fridge, I went to the sofa in the living room to watch TV.
"Mrs. Grant.” Caroline walked over. "Your phone kept ringing just now.”
I forgot to charge my phone last night and had been charging it in the bedroom when I woke up this morning.
I grabbed the phone and thought that Theo had given me a call but when I looked at it, it was actually a bunch of news notifications.
Perhaps it was because it was going to be the new year soon, so all the hashtags were about the new year. It all looked very festive.
After staring at my phone for half an hour, I switched o n the TV.
