Chapter 151: Middlewoman
As Jamal and Abigail returned to the office after the meeting, they both had wide smiles on their faces.
"You really impressed them. They were a bit disappointed when you said you couldn’t join them for the team dinner," Jamal said, and Abigail smiled as she signed.
[It’s Josh’s first day at school. I want to spend my evening with him. I want to know how school was.]
Jamal nodded. He heard the rest of the things she didn’t say. She probably wanted to ask Josh questions and find out more about what he knew.
"I understand. I’ll join them though. I can learn a thing or two them," Jamal said, and then smiled when he remembered he was yet to tell he had read the letter she wrote.
"By the way I enjoyed reading your letter," he said in a quieter voice meant for her ears alone, and Abigail smiled.
"Thanks for choosing to trust me. I’ll explain things better to you when we have the chance to talk more freely," he promised, and she nodded.
Just as they were about to enter their office, a delivery person arrived, and Jamal smiled. "I think your lunch has arrived."
Jamal went to his desk as Abigail received the package from the delivery man, and just as she was about to go to her office, Genevieve who was leaving for lunch, saw her.
"You received a package?" Genevieve asked, looking at her hand and wondering who sent it.
Genevieve paused for a moment and looked from Abigail to Jamal, who was pretending to be engrossed in his phone, and then she looked back at Abigail again. "I was about to leave for lunch and was going to ask you both to join me but I see your lunch has been taken care of. Let’s have a word in your office."
