However, when Angela recalled the last time she delivered food to him, she remembered that it didn't end well as Elena was there.
She then thought of Erica and had a feeling that she hadn't seen her in quite a while.
"Where's that secretary of yours named Ms. Carrey?" Angela asked.
"She's been transferred. Why? Is there a problem?" Dexter replied.
Of course, there was no problem—it had nothing to do with her anyway.
…
When Angela reached DawnStar Co., the first thing she did upon arriving was head to Callum's office, where she presented a bouquet of flowers to her dear boss.
"What's this?" Callum put down his work and smiled. "Good news? Or have you reached your goal ahead of schedule and are ready to rejoin our company?"
Angela had never seen such an open and cheerful Callum before. She couldn't help but laugh at his response.
"You're a genius—you guessed it." Angela gave him a respectful bow. "Thank you, my dearest boss. Please accept this bouquet as a token of my gratitude."
As Callum's smile widened, he stepped forward to help her up. "Thank you for the thank-you, but I can't take all the credit. Someone else kept nagging me about it, and that's why I made the decision."
"Who would that be?" Angela asked, looking puzzled.
After work, Angela headed straight to the agreed meeting place.
Finn was already waiting for her.
"Wow, you're here early! Are you hungry? Why didn't you order something first?" Angela asked with a smile.
She had been in an exceptionally good mood these past few days. Her steps felt light as she walked.
Seeing her cheerful demeanor, Finn couldn't help but smile too. "I just got here. This restaurant is supposed to be pretty good. I've already ordered two of their signature dishes. You should see if you want anything else."
When the server came over, Angela added three more dishes and a soup to the order.
