Chapter 43: You look very pretty, Fil.
"Vin!" Fil called, smiling from ear to ear. "What are you doing here?"
"Huh?" Vincent scoffed, studying the smile that appeared on her face. "What am I doing here? I’m here because you stood me up. We were supposed to have dinner together. Who is that guy?"
Deep lines appeared between her brows. "Who?"
"That guy, Fil. Who is he?" He stepped closer. "The reason you stood me up. Who is that guy?"
"Vincent. He’s our client." Fil frowned deeply. "Are you accusing me of cheating?"
Vincent’s breath hitched, and his neck turned a little taut. He studied her face and was taken aback at how she looked so mesmerizing up close. She was pretty — very pretty. Even when she was frowning, it could melt a man’s heart.
"I can’t believe you," she sulked, looking at him in dismay. "Sorry, okay? I was in a hurry and didn’t pay attention to where we were supposed to dine. That man is a client of ours; a very important client at the moment. So when he called regarding his concerns about the project, I had to meet him."
Her frown deepened, clicking her tongue in irritation. "Vincent, I can’t believe you’d accuse me of that. I never did this to you because I had faith in you even if you were miles away," — but he chose to break that over and over and over.
"I’m sorry for not making it to our date because of work, but that’s the only thing I will apologize for," she added with a huff. "If you’re done, I’m going home. It was a long day and I just want to sleep."
