NovelBarBrandon nodded, "I'll head back now."
Then he turned to Yvonne, who was by Patricia's side, "You stay here and keep her company. If anything comes up, givea
buzz."
Yvonne hesitated for a sec, and then nodded, "Got it."
Brandon left the hospital, swung by hto pick up Sophia on his way back to the office.
"Why are you back so soon?" Sophia asked with a puzzled look as Brandon walked in, "How's your dad?"
"He's getting better." Brandon said, "There wasn't much to do there, so | cback."
Seeing Sophia dressed and ready, he asked, "Heading to the office?"
Sophia nodded, "Yep."
Theresa was chowing down on her food. She hadn't planned on going to the office with Sophia, but the sight of her dad coming
back made her so happy. She immediately put her bowl aside, slid off her chair, and hurriedly said to Brandon and Sophia, "Wait for
me, | wanna go to work too."
Sophia turned to stop her, "Theresa, you can't go to the office."
Theresa's little face puckered up, her eyes welling up as she looked at Brandon, melting his heart instantly. He went over and

Theresa's face lit up with a smile, "Thanks, daddy!"
Sophia couldn't help but glance at Brandon, "You're gonna spoil her."
"It's fine; she knows her limits. She won't get bratty." Brandon assured her, then turned to Theresa, "At the office, you can't be loud
or run around in the work areas, and definitely can't bug people there while they're working, got it?"
Theresa nodded her head fiercely, "Okay."
She promised Brandon, "I'll just stay in daddy's office or mommy's office, and read."
She even packed her own picture book into her little backpack, acting all grown-up. Who knew if she was really gonna read or just
pretending.
When they got to the office, Brandon had a big board meeting that morning, so he let Theresa and Grace go with Sophia to her
office first.
They arrived a bit early, with hardly anyone there yet - folks usually rolled in right on time.
Sophia started tidying up her desk as usual.
Theresa had never seen Sophia's office before and was super curious. She plopped her backpack on the desk and started checking
out the place; then got curious about the larger workspace outside.
The outer office was spacious, decked out with lots of plants and cute decor.
Theresa couldn't hold back her curiosity and turned to ask Sophia, "Mommy, can | go check out the outside?"
Sophia glanced at the open workspace, saw Cindy and others there, and since it wasn't quite work tyet, she nodded, "You can
stay in the open office, but don't wander off or mess with anyone's desk, okay?"
"Okay," Theresa nodded obediently and stepped out.
Grace hurried after her.
Even with Grace tagging along, Theresa remembered her mom's words. She didn't dare step outside the glass doors, and just
stood around curiously eyeing the whole office.
Everyone had met the little cutie yesterday and knew she was Mr. Crawley's little princess. Each person walking in couldn't help
but warmly greet her and tease her a bit.
Theresa politely responded with "hello" to each one, without a hint of being spoiled. She stood at the office entrance like a little
greeter.
Marian arrived right on the dot for work and upon stepping out of the elevator, she saw the little one standing at the office door,
politely bowing and greeting passing colleagues. She paused mid-stride.
