When I received no reply, I decided to go back to minding my own business.
Keeping Lyle’s promise of coming back for dinner in mind, I went to the market to buy the ingredients for his favorite food. After returning home, I habitually checked my phone, but there were no message notifications.
Why am I waiting for a message from Christopher? This realization made me frustrated and disappointed in myself. With that, I chucked my phone onto the sofa.
The phone rang as I was busying myself in the kitchen. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat.
I scrambled out of the kitchen to pick up the phone, but all the excitement instantly disappeared when I saw that it was Lyle calling. “Hello?”
“Hey, dear. I have a meeting tonight, so you don’t have to wait up for me. Remember to sleep early after dinner, alright? Good girl.” With that, he hung up the call without even giving me a chance to respond.
I scoffed. A meeting? Like a hands-on, private meeting in a hotel room somewhere? His employees are so lucky to have such a caring boss.
To my surprise, I didn’t feel upset at this news. I checked my phone again, but there were still no new messages.
