On the other end, Daniel Carter's voice was low: "Have you eaten yet?"
I thought to myself, what's with the small talk? If I say I haven't eaten, can you really invite me?
With a smile inside, I answered earnestly, "Not yet, I'm still busy."
"When will you be done?"
Huh?
This question made me pause my work, frowning slightly—what does it mean?
Could it be that he's back from his business trip?
A surge of excitement rose within me, and after a moment's hesitation, I quickly said, "I'm almost done, just some non-urgent matters left, I can handle them in the afternoon."
"Okay, then come out for lunch, at the rooftop garden opposite your office." His tone remained calm, but I sensed a hint of a smile.
Having lunch together?!
I suddenly stood up, and the joy inside me soared.
"You're back from your trip?"
He only finished work at three a.m. last night and replied to my WeChat message, so how is it that he's back in Fallhaven by noon?
