It was already late afternoon when she finished taking her shower. In the changing room, she called Tobias again. This time, the call went through.
“Aren’t you coming?” she asked.
“I’m still busy,” was his curt reply before he ended the call.
At that instant, she couldn’t help furrowing her brow as her eyes dimmed with disappointment. He’s still busy, which means he probably won’t come tonight.
She had dressed up and starved herself to have dinner with him tonight. However, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment; she was upset that he stood her up.
Meanwhile, Kai’s assistant, Logan, was leaning against the Mercedes-Benz, waiting for her. The country folks were all surrounding the eye-catching vehicle.
As soon as she got in the car, she apologized, “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting so long.”
Logan started the engine while reassuring her, “No worries, Ms. Jones. Mr. Ronalds has ordered me to be at your service. It is no biggie even if I have to wait for you for the entire night.”
Oh my, he does have a way with his words, huh, was Skylar’s impression of Logan.
