Exhausted, she sank into her chair, nursing her aching wrist. Hannah reflected, “I thought I could dodge such whirlwinds at the campus.
This was unforeseen.”
Bursting into the office, Grace excitedly shook Hannah’s arm.
“How’d I do, Hannah? Pretty spectacular, right?”
“You’re indeed phenomenal, top-notch! What magic did you wield to scatter them?”
Leaning in, Grace chuckled heartily, sharing her strategy.
“I promised them a daily half-hour autograph session for a week. That got them moving!”
With a bemused smile, Hannah quipped, “Grace, you’re truly a master of time management.”
“Hannah, you might be unaware, but the school forum’s buzzing with your fame. There’s chatter everywhere, even a thread lauding your sensational escapades!”
Gently ruffling Grace’s hair, Hannah expressed her concern.
“Stay clear of such distractions. How have you been health-wise of late?”
“All’s well. I’ve been religiously following the medication you concocted and keeping up with the essential injections. A month’s gone by without a setback.”
Hannah acknowledged, “That’s a sign of improvement. Soon, I’ll confer with Mr. Campbell and explore the possibility of refining the medication for your ailment.”
“I always knew it! Hannah, you’ve got my back like no other! However, there’s another thing that concerns me…”
Grace whispered with a hint of worry, “Lately, there’s been a change in my brother’s demeanor. No matter what I do at home, his spirits don’t lift. I’m so puzzled. Hannah, have you caught wind of any changes with my brother lately?”
Memories from the previous night danced across Hannah’s thoughts, and she replied with a hint of uncertainty, “I can’t say for sure, but maybe it’s the crushing weight of his work responsibilities.”

“Could be. He’s been clocking in early and coming back home way too late because of work. My uncle has stirred up some storms at the office, but thankfully, Grandpa always calms the chaos.”
Hannah’s ears perked up at Grace’s revelation.
“Your uncle was the one wreaking havoc at the office?”
“Absolutely. Apparently, it stemmed from your racing event. He poured a mountain of money on another racer, probably over 5 million! But alas, it all went down the drain. He believed my brother withheld some vital intel, which led him to lose that 5 million. And that’s what ignited his fiery rampage at the office. Rumor has it, he didn’t spare the furniture and let loose a storm of harsh words!”
Hannah’s brow furrowed in confusion.
“He chose to back another racer, why drag Mr. Mitchell into this? Betting is always a game of chance.
What gave him the right to point fingers at Mr. Mitchell?”
“So, Grandpa rained down a torrent of reprimands on Uncle, pressing him to settle the debt pronto. If not, he’d have to forfeit his throne as the General Manager!”
