The director didn't give up, "What's more important to you, career or love?"
"Love, of course." Andrew answered without hesitation and added, "Don't call me again. Just wait for my good news. I shall certainly get her. Whoopee, that's so exciting!"
Director said sullenly, "What's so exciting about that?"
"The three of us will sunbathe on the beach and enjoy the cuisine together. Alas, you won't understand that wonderful feeling."
Andrew was dreaming about his happy life.
Also, he was looking forward to passionate evenings and sweet mornings. Nothing could be more exciting!
The director thought Andrew was really out of mind and said no more.
After all, Andrew had both money and power. If he refused to return, the director couldn't do anything with him.
Totally lost in his daydream, Andrew hummed with pleasure and thought his happy life was coming.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. He frowned, thinking it was that disgusting man. ’Didn’t he just be whisked away by the police? How could he be released so soon?’
He moved towards the door and saw an old lady he didn't know through the peep-hole
On second thought, he opened the door and asked, "Who are you here to see?"
"Grace Livingston."
Mckenzie studied tall and handsome Andrew, thinking he was imprudent. In her view, it was really inappropriate for a man to stay in another woman's room so late.
"She's gone to bed. Perhaps you could come here tomorrow." Andrew looked back at the closed bedroom door.
Mckenzie refused to follow his advice and thought he was ungracious. She was an elder anyway. She came a long way to see her grandson, but this man asked her to come another day!
