Moaning Mess (2)

GRACE

“Ruby, have you seen your father today?”

The girl shook her head and delved more into the book in front of her.

With a slight frown on my face, I glanced at the staircase.

After our little music-making session the other night, his face became quite scarce for almost two weeks. He either left early before anyone woke up or he came home very late.

I understood his sudden change in schedule since I equated it to his job as a businessman. But he hasn’t stepped into the house after leaving almost two days ago.

When I asked Ruby if there was anything to worry about, she replied with, “He probably has a big project to handle. He always disappears during times like that.”

Even though I took Ruby’s word as fact, a part of me was still concerned. If I had his phone number, I would have called him, that’s how worried I am.

And speaking of numbers, I really need to get my boss’s phone number. It’s just insane how I forgot to ask Fiona for that simple detail during the orientation.
