“Good.” I nodded and locked myself in the room.

I left my briefcase on the table and sat down in the leather chair. Before starting the day, I took out my cell phone and sent a message to my sister.

Thomas:

Are you available for lunch?

Deborah:

Yes.

Thomas:

So let's meet at the usual restaurant.

Deborah:

What kind of miracle is that? You haven't called me for lunch in so long.

Thomas:

I want to tell you something.

Deborah:

Should I get excited?

Thomas:

Don't create theories.

Deborah:

That's the best part.

Thomas:

See you at noon.

Deborah:

Agreed.

I stopped messaging my sister and opened my laptop, analyzing some recordings of a client's case, when Violet called me.

“Sir, the client is in the meeting room.” He said from the other end of the line.

“Tell him I'm coming.” I disconnected the call and locked the computer before leaving the room and heading for the meeting.

After spending almost the whole morning talking to the guy, I sorted out a few more office issues and was finally able to go out to meet my sister.

Deborah had already arrived and was waiting for me at a table for two.

“Hi!” I leaned over to kiss his cheek before sitting down in front of him and opening the napkin in my lap.

“How are the girls?”

“Great.”
