Fayam distubedly looked up from his desk, at the phone. First he listened a bit uninterested. Then her words went through him. "Wait, did you just say lunch? My word, is it that time already?" He peeked at the wall clock. 11:53, it said. "Well, no, thanks Secretary. I got my own lunch packet. As usual." He knocked the horn down and started thinking out loud: "But still, I was so busy I didn't even look at the time! But then again, I'm running the biggest city on the planet. And keeping over 5,5 million residents happy is difficult, too... Not even to mention taking care of money business... Well..."
Mary and Anna also made lunch preparations. For Anna, it didn't mean anything today. But for Mary, it meant business coming up.
