Drusilla mumbled under her breath, "Talk about throwing your weight around, classic rich dad move."

Althea had been pacing by the door for a solid twenty minutes, growing increasingly impatient as Drusilla showed no sign of emerging from Enoch's office. She furrowed her brows, muttering, "How much longer are we supposed to wait?"
The assistant replied, "Just a bit more, she might be out any minute now."
Althea couldn't hide her frustration. "What if we're late?"
"Don't worry, I'll call in a favor."
...
Forty minutes later, Drusilla finally wrapped up her morning session of physical therapy.
As she gathered her things, Enoch called out, "Wait for me outside. We'll grab lunch together."
"Uh..." Drusilla glanced at him, hesitating, "That's okay. I can just..."
"Are you rejecting me?" His tone was slightly irked, a clear sign of displeasure at being turned down.
Remembering the generous paycheck he offered, Drusilla forced a smile. "Of course, Mr. Taylor, I'll wait outside."
She picked up her bag and headed for the door.
Seeing the office door finally open, Althea jumped to her feet, frustration evident on her face.
The wait was killing her.
Spotting Althea, Drusilla said, "Althea, Mr. Taylor wants to see you."
Althea frowned, casting a glance at Drusilla, "I thought you were never coming out!"
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
After watching Althea enter the office, Drusilla took a seat on the couch outside.
