She instantly sat up and grabbed her laptop. "I have so much work! I probably can't."
I rolled my eyes. Allison knew it was a lot of effort preparing for the new year. That's why she chose to betray me. Some friends I have!
"Backstabbing Drama Queen," I retorted.
She grinned. I marched down to the kitchen.
"Hello, L.L. Do you need anything?" Maya asked. She was Boss Lady's personal caretaker.
I huffed.
She chuckled. "New year's preparation, right?"
"Yes."
"Don't worry. Boss Lady assigned me to help you."
"Well, glad to have you here. I am getting frustrated. I hate it when I get full responsibility for something all of a sudden."
Maya smiled. "It's okay, L.L. Come here. I am gonna explain everything."
I nodded. She explained everything to me from the start. I wondered how I would have managed all these without her. "You have a bandage on your wrist, yet I find you in the kitchen. Wow!" said Vayden unexpectedly.
