Chapter 240: Reminiscing
“I see. I guess he won’t be making it for dinner then. I’ll go out for dinner first. Can you let him know that I’ll be back for him?” I asked.
“Sure, Madame. I’ll do that. Please enjoy dinner,” Dan replied politely before I hung up.
It’s unfortunate that Edward won’t be able to make it to dinner with me. It was slightly disappointing, but I guess that was ok. I grabbed my bag from the sofa and headed out to grab something quick to eat. Hopefully, by the time I was done with dinner, Edward would be done with his meeting too.
I decided to have dinner at a nearby mall where many restaurants were available. Dan mentioned that the meeting would likely last for another couple of hours which meant that I had extra time on my hand after dinner as well. Going to the mall was perfect because I could do some retail therapy while I waited for Edward to finish his meeting.
I was in the middle of my shopping spree when my phone starting ringing in my bag. Reaching my hand into my bag, I got hold of the phone and answered the call immediately. As I had anticipated, it was Edward on the other end of the line. I guess his meeting ended already. My wristwatch showed that it was around three hours since I had left his office.
“I’m so sorry, Natalia...the meeting ran over...” Edward quickly apologized when the line connected.
I couldn’t help smiling a little to myself at how flustered he seemed.
“It’s ok...where are you?” I asked.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t have dinner with you. The meeting just ended, I’m still in the meeting room. I called you first thing,” Edward said, his voice sounding tired.
“I’m at the nearby mall. I’m just about done here, what about you wait for me in your office?” I suggested.
“Ok...see you soon,” Edward said.
