The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 124

I had seen Lorraine's drafts before and knew she was being modest. She was at least 90% confident that she could do a great job on the ads.

"How much time do you need?"

I wasn't planning to hand this project to anyone else.

"Three days."

Three days? How can she come up with an ad in such a short time? I furrowed my brows together. The others in the meeting were equally doubtful too.

"I'll give you a week. Give me something good."

After the meeting, Lorraine stayed back until everyone left. Then, she asked, "Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal."

I was a little surprised. This was the first time Lorraine had brought up eating together after our breakup.

I raised an eyebrow. "If it's about work, I won't go."

I realized that after we had become friends, Lorraine got embarrassed easily.

She blushed and answered timidly, "It's not about work. I just want to buy you a meal."

I pretended to consider it before nodding my head. "Send me the address."

Perhaps it was the anticipation of it all or perhaps I had not had a meal with Lorraine for a long time, but the afternoon seemed to pass by extremely slowly.

Lorraine arrived at the parking lot early. I opened the passenger seat door and said, "I'm going to pick Jonas up."

"I haven't seen Jonas in a while."

Even if we were just dining as friends, it'd be better to bring Jonas along. Jonas' emotional well-being had taken a dip, going back to how it was like before. I was a little stumped.

"I remembered that you used to study children's psychology?"

Lorraine turned to look at me with a confused expression. "Yes, just a little bit. Is something wrong with Jonas?" she asked politely, afraid that she would trigger sad memories.

I couldn't help but smile as I felt a warmth in my heart. "Not really. I just think he has been quite down lately. I can't really understand what's going on with him. I thought of getting you to help out."
