Not setting the shop on fire wasn't much of an accomplishment in her eyes. Arachne expected the same from the mortal as she expected from herself. But this time without the hanging. With a hum of approval she sat down, going through the various notes. "You have tonight off. I'm having dinner with a friend." Explaining it like that, made her believe this too.
The excuse earned a nod, "yes. Family emergency. Didn't have time to notify you. Diana did me a favor in house sitting for me." No questions about the new spider. Good. Too much explanation there. "This might occur again. Next time, consider it unscheduled leave. With pay of course." Mortals were still greedy. Perhaps the promise of extra money would keep the girl quiet.
