After spending a few more minutes walking through the store and checking on everything, Gray eventually returned to his office for the rest of the day. There were still numbers to review, emails to send, and vendor follow-ups to make.
However, even with his workload, he left the store an hour early.
By 4 PM, Gray was already stepping inside the elevator of his condo. He adjusted the collar of his shirt as he walked toward his unit, his bag slung loosely over one shoulder.
As he opened the door, "Lily?" he called out.
"I'm in the kitchen, Brother!" her voice rang out cheerfully.
Gray walked in and found her sitting at the table with her feet swinging off the chair. A half-eaten sandwich was in front of her, along with a glass of cold juice. She looked up at him the moment he entered.
"You're home early, Brother!"
Gray set his bag down and leaned on the back of a chair.
"Yup," he said with a smile. "It's because we've got somewhere to be."
"Where?"
