Fortunately, this situation did not last long because after receiving a call, Don said helplessly, “Something unexpected happened at the company and they requested that I return. I had wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time with you two, but it seems like we can only make another appointment next time.”
“That's great. You should go!”
Marius was so excited that he almost jumped up from his seat, catching the gazes of everyone around. I wish I could find a hole in the ground and bury myself in it.
“Can you control yourself a little, please?”
Marius nodded obediently.
He was probably planning his next devilish act in this moment of silence.
I could only apologize to Don quickly. “I'm so sorry. My friend is always so jumpy that it's unbearable to some.
“You can go ahead if you have something to do. We'll figure it out here.”
"Alright. I've already paid for this table. I hope I haven’t ruined the mood.” After Don said that, he booked a plane ticket and returned to Whaldorf City ahead of schedule. Marius' attitude instantly showed a drastic change.
A second ago, he was listless with a foul expression. Now, he was strolling around happily.
I admitted that I was humbled seeing him so free with his emotions like this.
After bidding Don farewell, I thought back to the matters of the company and could not stop worrying. My enthusiasm largely diminished all of a sudden.
“Wanda, try this piece of chocolate. The lady just now let me try it for free because she thought I'm handsome.”
I could not help complaining, “You must be so young still if you can believe this sort of thing.”
"Oh, it’s obviously the truth. You’re the only one who’s blind to my handsomeness.”
Having said that, Marius went around excitedly having fun with all the new things.
