"Hi grandma, Nicole here. How are you?" Nicole greeted Mrs. Wallace Sr. on the phone.
"Yes, Nicole, I'm doing really well. What about you?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole with concern.
"I've been doing fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I've been eating well, and sleeping well. Look, I'm actually having dinner right now."
Nicole showed Mrs. Wallace Sr. her meal.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at her and nodded. "Why are you having dinner at such an hour? You have to take care of yourself, you know?"
"Yeah, I've been working overtime today, so that's why I'm eating late. I usually eat my meals on time.” Nicole smiled as she explained.
"Hello, grandma." Harvey face suddenly popped up on the screen and greeted Mrs. Wallace Sr.
Nicole looked over her shoulder and rolled her eyes at him. ‘What's he doing here?!’
"Hi." Mrs. Wallace Sr. greeted, not knowing who she was talking to, but she nodded and smiled anyway.
"How are you doing, grandma?" Harvey asked, not caring that Nicole had rolled her eyes at him and continued addressing Mrs. Wallace Sr.enthusiastically.
"She's doing fine. Carry on with what you were doing and leave." Nicole glared at him and shooed Harvey away.
"Tsk." Harvey left as he could tell that Nicole was annoyed with him.
"Grandma, what have you been doing while I was gone?" Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. and chatted.
"I just planted some greens and weeded my garden.”
’Gardening?" Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. with her eyes widened.
Hearing this, Tia quickly responded, "Miss Riddle, Mrs. Wallace made me clear the garden a few days ago. I asked her what it was for, but she didn't want to tell me. When I was done, she asked me to buy some tools and that's when I finally knew that she wanted to plant some vegetables."
"Well, you should get grandma whatever she wants. But aren't you worried that she'll be worked to exhaustion?" Nicole chided.
Tia felt wronged and upset by what Nicole had just said, and it was then that Mrs. Wallace Sr. quickly stepped in. "I was the one who asked her to do it. Why are you lecturing her?
"When you're back to see it, I think you'll like my garden too." Mrs. Wallace Sr. smiled and continued.
‘I know. You can plant your greens, but please don't wear yourself out.
Remember to get Tia to keep your company whenever you're out and about in the garden." Nicole reminded, as she was worried about her grandmother.
"Sure."
"Don't worry, Miss Riddle. I'll be there to help Mrs. Wallace out every time. When you come back, you might even get to try the vegetables we've planted.” Tia giggled and looked at Nicole.
"Really? You have to save some for me, then."
"We're leaving now, Nicole." Harvey announced.
He was already done with his meal when he saw that Nicole was still chatting on the phone, and so, he wanted to go home first.
"Sure."
‘I'm going back to work, grandma,” Nicole said. “I'm going to end the call now, so I'll talk to you some other time.”
"Of course, but do take care of yourself." To Mrs. Wallace Sr., nothing was more important than health.
"M-hm, I will." Nicole hung up and strode back into her office.
In a restaurant, Jared, Fiorella, and Castor were seated in a room, engaging in small talks with each other.
Jared was sitting next to Fiorella, bored and inattentive as he watched her blabber on.
