Alice's senses seemed to have grown sharper during the weekend, so even if someone entered her room while she was deeply asleep, that state where she was no different from a sleeping corpse, she would wake up.
And so, when Miss Stella entered her room that morning, she opened her eyes, only to find Miss Stella stretching her phone towards her.
"Alice, my father wants to speak to you." She said and Alice blinked. What could this be about all of a sudden? And why was she looking so serious?
If the chairman wanted to speak to her so early in the morning then it was probably not a light news.
"Hello," she answered with a sleepy tone.
"Alice, dear, sorry to wake you up with this impromptu call." He said as she slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"Well, it's okay." She yawned. "I bet it was almost time for me to wake up anyway. So, what's up, Gramps? Is there an emergency?"
