Chapter 099

It was past five in the afternoon when I called Nathan for the third time that day, asking if he could swing by the Maxwell building to pick me up. I wanted to treat him to dinner to thank him for helping me get the real estate certificate for the old house.
"My boss is still in a meeting," he replied, and I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me as I stepped into the elevator. "Can we just meet at the restaurant? I’ll head there as soon as the meeting wraps up."
"Alright," With no other choice, I agreed. Once outside, I waited for a taxi, my mind drifting to the flowers Mr. Maxwell had sent me.
I didn’t reply to his text and left the bouquet on my desk. I wanted to steer clear of any confusion with Nathan, especially now that I knew how he really felt about me.
