By the time Gray finally arrived at the office, the sun was already at its peak in the sky. It was already late lunch. He and Daniel ate at a small restaurant before arriving.
Gray pushed open the glass doors. He looked composed on the outside, but on the inside, his head was chaotic. His thoughts still lingered on that massive plot of land he had seen an hour ago.
The moment he stepped into his own office, the sound of the keyboard greeted him. Mara was seated at her desk, her hair tied neatly back. There was a stack of organized papers in front of her. She looked up instantly as Gray walked in, one brow raising sharply.
"You're late today," she said matter-of-factly, her tone was but it was not scolding. Her eyes stayed on him for a moment before they narrowed just slightly.
"Why are you so late today? Where did you go? You have no meetings today in your schedule."
Gray gave a small chuckle as he set his things down on top of his table.
"Good morning to you, too, Mara."
