Caroline answered the phone. On the other end, Claudia spoke in a rather lazy tone, "Caroline, what have you been up to recently?"
"Oh you know, busy cleaning up the mess Karen made in Neon. But thanks to you, everything's been getting better."
"Well, you're welcome. So, how are you planning on thanking me?"
"Miss Murphy, how would you like me to thank you?" Caroline smiled.
Claudia sounded a little upset. She might be still moody because of the man she fancied.
"Come and hang out with me."
"I can't. My husband is in the hospital, I have to accompany him. On top of that, I have a very important guest at home. I've been going back and forth between my home and the hospital these past few days. It's been hectic."
Having gotten to know Claudia, she was much more casual with her. She would sometimes vent her frustrations with her.
