Shirley Grant also knew Ethan Martinez was busy. Seeing him being pressed by a phone call, she didn't want to delay his work.
"It's okay."
Ethan Martinez smiled and walked to her side.
"I also want to make sure Gerry Peary is fine."
That was his hope. Even though he hadn't spent much time with Gerry Peary, he was nonetheless captivated by such an innocent boy.
"Alright then, I hope it doesn't inconvenience you."
Knowing Gerry Peary was safe, Shirley Grant calmed down a little, no longer as flustered as she had been initially.
"Hmm."
Ethan Martinez glanced at Shirley Grant and said nothing more.
