In the afternoon, Sherman was invited to the manager's office, and he let her make a call to Kingsley. She felt that the manager always haunting her.
"Your mobile phone has been topped up. Now, you call Kingsley, and we'd better invite him for dinner. After all, he has helped us a lot."
Sherman became impatient, "Mr. Wright must be very busy. Since he did not pick up your phone, he will not pick up my phone."
"I have no special relationship with Mr. Wright, so it's normal for him to refuse to pick up my phone." The manager said.
She refuted, "There is no special relationship between Mr. Wright and me, so he will not pick my phone up, either."
Under the manager's monitoring, she made a call, but the number was not the same as the one she had saved before. It should be the office number.
After a few seconds, no one answered the phone, and she was happy about this, when she was about to hang up, Kingsley picked up the phone and his voice was very magnetic, "Hello ..."
Sherman became silent, but the manager smiled. He looked at her and his expression was meaningful as if he was saying there must be a special relationship between them.
"Hello ..." She answered reluctantly, her heartbeat sped, and he face was slightly red. The sequelae from the night before had not disappeared, "Our manager wants to invite you to the dinner. Would you like to come, Mr. Wright?"
"Who will I have dinner with? The manager or all the staff of your department?" He asked, the voice was gentle.
Sherman passed Kingsley's words to the manager, and she felt that she was like a speaking tube.
What did Mr. Wright mean? The manager felt puzzled. After a while, he let Sherman reply that all employees would come to have dinner with him.
"I have free time tomorrow night, after 7,00 ..."
Hanging up the phone, Sherman put the phone to the bag. The manager laughed happily. He patted her shoulder and said, "Sherman, you did a good job."
Sherman didn't answer him, and she felt that it was hard for her to explain.
In the evening, she didn't want to stay in the apartment alone, Sherman called Summer, but she learned that Summer and Mark went to France.
She called Grace, but Grace and Charlie had gone to Hawaii to surf. She could feel their happiness and sweetness from the phone.
Her two friends were busy dating, only she was alone, and she suddenly felt very lonely.
The phone rang, and it was Kingsley. After the mobile phone rang many times, she picked up.
"I'm downstairs.."
"Wait a moment! I would go downstair right now." She said, and she got up quickly. She thought that she couldn't let him go upstairs anymore.
