As confused as he might be, he knew it was time for him to cancel the reservation since Solomon had made himself clear.
“Speaking of which, has Sabrina returned?”
Luke brought himself to a halt and answered, “She’s has made her way to Cranur to strike a deal with the owner of the company in charge of renewable energy sources. I don’t think she’s going to be back soon.”
He told Solomon the things Sabrina was up to over the past few days. It turned out she had gotten herself engaged with all sorts of things after joining the company as a staff.
Solomon wasn’t the only one who hadn’t encountered her since her subordinates weren’t aware of her whereabouts as well when they needed her to guide them.
He got increasingly frustrated and instructed, “Send a few people to keep her safe. Speaking of which, who’s the candidate Matilda has in mind for her blind date again?”
Once again, Solomon’s question took his secretary by surprise.
Matilda? Is he referring to his aunt and Mr. Brandon’s mother?
Luke started perspiring in fear of offending the already irked Solomon. He stammered, “I-I’m not sure since you turned her down when she brought up the suggestion.”
When I shared Matilda’s proposal with him the moment she called, he expressed his disagreement and reprimanded her.
He said he would never allow others, especially the Emmanuels, to take advantage of the Hayeses even though Frederick had long passed on. If that’s the case, why has he changed his mind out of the blue?
“Well, just get going and ask if you’re not sure! If it’s possible, set them up for a session in person!”
What the heck? Has he seriously agreed to set Ms. Sabrina up for a blind date with someone else?
As confused as Luke might be, he took note of Solomon’s instructions and excused himself.
He couldn’t figure out the reason he had changed his mind out of the blue since he didn’t bother to poke his nose into the business of his half-sister throughout the past year, let alone her marriage.
To be precise, he turned them down with the same excuses when Matilda called to share her proposal with him.
In short, his secretary couldn’t fathom the reason he had changed his mind and agreed to set them up for a blind date in person.
When Luke was on his way home, he lost himself in a train of thought while staring at the bright moon. He thought he wouldn’t have the chance to indulge himself in such carefree moments anymore.
“Mr. Hayes, Mrs. Hayes, you guys are finally back!” he muttered to himself and reached for his phone in an attempt to figure out the precise time of arrival of Sebastian and his family.
To his surprise, he found out he had received a text message from Sabrina.
