4:47 p.m.
Sophia’s cell phone vibrated. She looked at her lap and saw Alistair’s number again. She sighed at his third call of the day and her w******p held nine unanswered messages. Her previous meeting had run into this one, she skipped lunch, and still she had no time to return his calls.
This meeting was lasting longer than expected. She quickly scrolled through Alistair’s messages.
12:00 p.m. - Just arrived. Miss you. Call me.
12:37 p.m. - Sarah tells me you’re busy. Call me ASAP.
01:39 p.m. - Still busy? I need to talk to you. Up for a quick lunch?
02:00 p.m. - I’m getting hungry here. What’s the prob?
My God! The man is freaking out.
02:02 p.m. - Aren’t you going to have lunch? You don’t need to diet.
Sophia smile
