Joel blinked at that. He chuckled and quickly hid his phone in his pocket as if he was caught doing something bad.
"Right. We're working, boss. Of course." He cleared his throat and stood up. "I'll go check the shelves and the employees as your good staff."
Gray shook his head and chuckled lightly. Joel gave him a joking bow before walking past him. Just as he reached the door of Gray's office, his phone buzzed again. This time it was a notification from Mara.
[Mara:] Tell our boss. I'll call him.
With it, Joel turned to look at Gray for the last time.
"Mara told me she'll call you, Boss."
Gray exhaled through his nose, "Alright." He suddenly felt relieved. That means Mara was probably taking care of it now.
Joel did a salute pose before finally leaving.
A moment later, Gray's phone really received a call from Mara. Gray accepted the call, pressing the phone to his ear.
"Mara?"
