I noticed how busy the lobby was as usual, it was occupied by both male and females who seemed to either be waiting for an appointment or someone, they all greeted me upon seeing me, which I returned with a short nod. I stood by the receptionist desk as Jane walked out of her desk with some files in her hand which she handed to me . "This are the files Melissa asked me to hand to you before she left". I took the files, reading briefly through it. The files were the reports I had asked her to do on the two ladies, Kristen and Lia whom I had a meeting with today.

"Good Morning Patricia". He greeted less enthusiastic. He walked further towards the door when he was stopped by her. "Well Sir, Mr Lodovico dropped a girl and this for you before leaving".

  Everything was coming together, Everything was starting to make sense, and slowly Grace felt she was getting back together too. Her mother's ear to ear smile was enough proof that she was okay, That they were okay too. "I'm happy Mum," Grace chuckled "I really am".
