Catherine checked her wristwatch. Ten minutes had passed since Aunt Grace left the office, but she still hadn't returned. She wanted to go out and look for her, but she had no idea where she might be in such a large building. She stole a glance at Travis and saw that his attention was still fixed on his computer. He truly was a workaholic. She wondered if the reason he always came home so late wasn't because he was avoiding her, but simply because he was genuinely consumed by his responsibilities. Ever since he had told her to be quiet, she had quickly said goodbye to Brad and hadn't uttered another word to ensure she didn't disturb him. Catherine let out a deep sigh and looked away, starting to feel restless. She had already finished the snack Travis’s secretary had brought in earlier.
