Early the next morning.
Luke felt refreshed and had a high color. His mood could not be better.
Eileen glared at the two resentfully.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Ruben.
Eileen thought for a moment and answered it.
Ruben wanted to meet her at a cafe nearby.
She agreed.
As soon as Luke heard that, his face fell, darkened, and turned livid like the weather in June.
In an instant, he covered his wounds." Ouch."
His implication was clear. He wanted her t o stay instead of going to see that damn eyesore!
"I'll be right back. Give me about ten minutes. It won't take long. Brad will keep you company."
Since she was so determined, Luke knew that it would be pointless to say more. Therefore, he shut his mouth.
In the afternoon, Eileen left for the appointed cafe.
The moment she went out of the room, Luke had his eyes fixed on the watch. He was calculating how long it would take her!
Brad felt bored and started drawing.
Luke frequently looked down to check the time. Every second seemed like a year!
Soon, an hour had passed.
Luke started to curse, "Shameless man. Ten minutes, my ass. 60 minutes have passed."
