On the other hand, Joyce was working overtime at R&S Group.
Special Assistant Casey assigned her some extra work today, not something urgent, and she wondered why Casey had to ask her to finish it on Sunday.
"Hi, I got you a mocha coffee." Juanita knew that Joyce was coming to the group and came over to keep her company.
Joyce looked up from the pile of documents and laughed, "What did you have to come here for on the weekend instead of staying home and relaxing?"
"How boring it is to be at home? You know, I'm all alone in a rented apartment and usually have no one to talk to." Juanita ploped down on the partition of Joyce's desk and curled her hair in boredom.
"You can go shopping." Joyce said as she sorted through the documents.
Juanita heard that and felt interested, "After you delt with everything, you go shopping with me, okay? I'll take you to eat something really good. I've discovered a terrific Japanese restaurant."
Joyce shook her head regretfully, "I can't. There's no one at home today, so I have to go back and cook for grandma." She looked at her phone. It was already after three o'clock, and she hadn't finished her work.
She wanted to leave early, so she handed a thick stack of documents to Juanita, "Or else, you can help make some copies. I want to finish work early and then make a trip to the supermarket for some groceries."
"No problem." Juanita picked up the documents and walked to the office copier.
Joyce continued to bury her head in the piles.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang, she took a glance, but it was Luther.
