hadn’t cup with a workable solution. “I'll leave for now,” Shirley said before quickly exiting the room and

morning” Imogen explained.
“Don’t worry. It was my idea. Cwith my father tomorrow. The internship is relatively easy, so it won't be too

“All right. I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you for helpingso much, Shirley.”
“See you tomorrow.” Shirley hung up the phone, checked the time, and realized it was already 11.30PM. It was
