I waited for the line to connect but it never did. After trying to call him a few more times, I gave up on it. The session was about to start and using the phone wasn’t possible anymore unless I went outside the auditorium. The lights started dimming a little and I was force to send Ace a text message to ask him where he was instead.
“Do any of you know where Ace is? I can’t get in touch with him…” I asked the other team members.
They gave me blank looks that told me that they had no idea. I couldn’t help but wonder why none of them were panicking right now just like I was.
“He’ll be here in time for our turn to present. Don’t worry,” Richard told me with confidence.
“Ok…” I mumbled in reply.
If Richard who was usually overly strict said that it was fine, then I had to believe him
