Erato let the phone call run for a few minutes, just to prove what a very busy lady she was, watching Hermes out of the corner of her eye. What was he doing here anyway? He hadn't contacted her personally in a while.
Eventually, she heaved a sigh and hung up the phone, and penned a very apologetic email to her boss about a family emergency and that she would absolutely catch up with her feedback as soon as was convenient.
"Fine, I'm curious. What has brought you to my door?" she asked, turning her body towards Hermes.
