533 Chapter 533

I wanted to get into my apartment and start working, but the moment I stepped out of the elevator, that plan was foiled. Whether it was a coincidence or something planned, I couldn't be sure, but Lucy and Tara just happened to be in the hall, headed my way. "Oh, hey," I said, looking at the papers Aaron had given me as if they were importantextremely important.

"Hey, how's it going?" Lucy asked. She was making that face like she wanted to give me the same sort of sympathetic smiles everyone gave her right after her dad died but she also didn't want to look like she was smiling at me that way.

"Fine." I shrugged. Shrugging is a sign that you have no worries. "How are you?"

"We're good. We were just going to grab some lunch. You wanna come?" Tara's smile was a little more genuine than Lucy's.

I checked the time. It was almost 3:00. Was that a late lunch or an early dinner? "No, thanks. That's okay. I've got a lot of work to do. My sister and Aaron are back so."
