Henry went to the airport the next day.
He didn't want to leave at all, but he had to sign the contract himself.
Every passing day was important to him.
The overseas company had reduced the two weeks trip to three days for his sake.
But even so, he was still dissatisfied.
Rosa enlightened him for a whole night and told him that three days would pass soon.
He left with dissatisfaction. Not to let her be lonely, he asked Miranda to stay over.
Miranda had been keeping her company even when sleeping for the past three days.
For Miranda, it was a great thing.
In this way, she could get along with Cecil.
Henry didn't know about Miranda and Cecil.
Rosa kept it a secret. She didn't want too many people to know about their relationship, which was hard to accept.
She selfishly wanted to fulfil her brother's wish to be able to be in normal relationships.
When Miranda arrived, Rosa had just had breakfast.
"Rosa, where is Cecil?"
Miranda couldn't get used to calling Rosa her aunt.
But she would if Henry was around.
"He's out meeting his editor for a movie."
"A movie? Is his book getting adapted?" Miranda was shocked.
Rosa chuckled, "It seems so. He's been looking forward to it. It has been half an hour. I don't know if it's over."
Miranda said, "Can I pick him up?"
"Okay. I was worried about him. Call him and bring him back."
"Alright, I guarantee that I will bring him back unscathed." Miranda smiled playfully and left after saying goodbye to Aunt Abbie.
Aunt Abbie walked over and said, "Madam, what do you want to eat today? Luke won't be back until tomorrow morning. I'll make it for you today."
Rosa chuckled, "You call Luke and ask him to stay at home for two more days. He just has a grandson, so he should spend more time with his family!"
"That won't do. Luke won't agree. Besides, he has been resting for two days. If he doesn't make money, who will feed his family? His son will be disabled, and his daughter-in-law has to take care of the baby. It will cost him a lot."
Rosa did not say anything as every family had their own circumstances.
......
On the other side.
Miranda called Cecil and wanted to pick him up.
Cecil gave her his location and told her his book would be adapted into a movie.
Miranda was excited when she heard that. She said that she wanted to celebrate with him.
However, it was the peak of the traffic jam, and her BMW was stuck in it.
"Cecil, wait for me there. Don't go. I'll be there in a minute. The traffic is bad."
"Slow down. Don't worry. I want you to be safe, and I won't go anywhere. I'll wait for you here!"
"Yea. Order some food and drink for me. I'll be back in a minute," Miranda said before honking.
Cecil quickly said, "Don't be impatient. Drive well. Grace will be here soon. She's looking for me for something, so I can wait for you."
"Why is Grace looking for you?" Miranda had not been in contact with Grace for a long time.
"Probably just to see me. Drive safe and hang up. By the way, I bought you a gift."
"You bought me a gift? What is it?" Miranda asked.
"You'll know when you come. I'll hang up first. Drive safe!"
Miranda agreed and hung up the phone. Looking at the busy traffic, she gnashed her teeth in anger. City C was too crowded!
Cecil was about to call for the waiter to order some dessert for Grace.
Grace called and said, "Cecil, I had a nosebleed recently, so I can't stand the smell in the cafe. I am in a park near the cafe. Can you come here for a while?"
Cecil frowned. Park?
"There is a huge park 500 meters away from the cafe. I'm waiting for you here!"
"Okay!"
Cecil hung up the phone and wanted to call Miranda, but he decided not to after a while.
She was driving, and there were many cars on the road. If she made a phone call, she might be distracted.
She would be here in a while, and he could contact her later.
Thinking of this, Cecil took a small bag in front of him and walked out.
Five minutes later, he arrived at this big park.
It was April, and flowers were blooming in the park, attracting people.
"Cecil, over here!" Grace waved at him.
Cecil smiled and walked over with a cup of milk tea.
"Grace." He reached out and handed it to her.
Grace was stunned. She looked at the milk tea he handed over and was a little stunned.
"You said you can't stand coffee, so I brought you a cup of milk tea. I remember you and my sister like milk tea very much."
Grace looked a little uncomfortable. Back then, they didn't have any money.
Therefore, they liked making their drinks after learning about them on the Internet.
"Grace, what can I do for you?" Cecil looked at her and asked.
The corner of Grace's mouth twitched as she said, "Sit down."
