My leg had healed completely, and by the following Monday I was able to return to the office. I had decided to finish the task at hand before resigning. Even after the divorce, I would still have to live with Alexander and pretend in front of Nana for a while.
Once the elevator doors opened, I stepped out and was greeted by a few employees who asked about my health. I replied warmly before heading to my office.
A few minutes after settling down, I received a call from Nana.
"Nana! I see you've missed your little granddaughter, huh?" I tried to sound as normal as possible.
"Says who?" she retorted teasingly. "It's been a while since I've seen you two. I just want to make sure you aren't causing any trouble. Remember to come home for dinner today. I'll make your favorite Beef Wellington."
"Just admit it—you can't wait to see my pretty face," I teased.
"Oh, you wish," she replied dramatically.
"Don't worry, Nana. I'll be there," I said with a chuckle.
