The more Sandra thought about it, the more panicked she became. She got out of bed, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Hannah.
—
The next day, Saturday, Hannah woke up but stayed in bed, with no intention of getting up anytime soon.
The past few days had been a whirlwind of one crisis after another, leaving her feeling physically and emotionally exhausted, as if she had aged several years.
She had planned to spend the day resting at home, but just before bed, she had received an unexpected message from Sandra.
It said to meet her at a coffee shop at eight in the morning for a personal, face-to-face apology.
Reading the words, Hannah could feel the arrogance radiating from them, despite the neutral tone.
She hadn’t replied and had no intention of going.
Sandra was the one who had made the mistake, and Sandra was the one who wanted to apologize. But the time and place were for Hannah to decide, not her.
Why should she have to accommodate Sandra’s demands?
Did Sandra really think she could order her around?
Hannah closed her eyes and continued to rest. Yves, knowing how much she had on her plate, had spoken to their team lead and arranged for her workload to be lightened. Her colleagues understood and hadn't complained about the special treatment.
Still, Hannah felt a little guilty, so before leaving work the previous day, she had offered to treat everyone to dinner on Sunday.
With plans for Sunday, she decided to spend Saturday at home, relaxing with her phone and watching TV.
After about half an hour, feeling more awake, Hannah slowly made her way downstairs for breakfast.
She was surprised to see Lionel sitting at the dining table, looking at his phone.
