After Alma left, Audrey thought for a while and called Bryson.
He answered the phone immediately.
"Ms. Audrey?"
"Hi, Mr. Bryson, sorry to bother you."
"It's okay. Something wrong?"
"I was just wondering, do you have time tonight?"
Bryson paused for seconds and said, "Yes."
"There is something I need to discuss with you. I made a reservation at a restaurant. Would you come to see me later today?'
"Sure."
Audrey said guiltily, "OK. I'll send you the address and the room number."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Audrey felt even guiltier.
After all, she lied to him.
The thing was, Alma, worried if she told him directly that she wanted to see him, he would not come. So, she asked Audrey to help her.
Audrey called him just to give it a shot. She didn't expect he would agree.
Although she lied to him, she was doing this for his happiness. If he found the love of his life, Madam Cordova would be happy, too. It was helpful for her recovery.
If that was the case, she could leave as soon as possible. She wanted nothing to do with Bryson.
After the call, she texted Alma.
Audrey: Done.
Alma: Thank you, honey. If I marry your brother, I'll be a nice sister-in-law.
Audrey: ......
Alma sent her the address and the room number. Audrey then sent the message to Bryson.
...
The Cordova Tower, President's Office.
Bryson received the message from Audrey.
Melvin happened to come in with a dozen documents, and ask him to sign.
"Cancel all the plans tonight," Bryson said.
Melvin's eyes opened wide in surprise.
"But Mr. Bryson, you made an appointment with Mr. Hyson from Hyson Group to talk about the contract for next quarter. And a video meeting for this quarter..."
"Delay them all!"
"Uh, yes!"
"And I am gonna leave earlier today."
Melvin didn't know what to say.
...
The Cordova Mansion.
The chef of the Cordova Mansion had an emergency and couldn't cook for the family today. So Kylee called Audrey. She bought groceries after work and went to the mansion.
Just as she was cooking, Kylee called Bryson.
Audrey was in the middle of cooking when she heard Kylee called him. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
"You'll eat out tonight? OK, got it."
After hanging up the phone, Kylee said to Audrey, "Honey, Bryson won't have dinner with us tonight. You don't have to prepare for him."
"Alright!"
Of course, she knew that. After all, she was the one who asked Bryson out.
She made six dishes and one soup quickly.
Just as she was about to set the table, a boy came in.
"Oh my, it's so hot today."
Audrey looked at this stranger who just came in. He was a teenager wearing sweats, with a basketball in his hand.
Seeing him, Madam Cordova was surprised in joy.
