“Sure,” Heather agreed readily. “I’ll see you later.” Then she hung up the phone without hesitation, making Ralph somewhat suspicious because she was too quick to decide.
Ralph felt Heather should have been ecstatic and full of anticipation. Despite the fact that she agreed quickly, her reaction surprised him. It was nothing like what he had imagined at all.
It weirded him out a little, but Heather was unlike any other woman when he thought about it. Hence, what he found strange about her might be what was usual in her daily life.
With that thought in mind, he hummed a song and headed into the shower to prepare himself for the night. They would have a great talk tonight, and he would welcome his brand new life!
…
At six p.m., Ralph was about to leave for the hotel when Celine appeared. She could not help but notice he was in high spirits. “Heading out for a wild night?”
“Hey! What are you talking about? I’m going to discuss business and strike a huge deal.” Ralph clicked his tongue before explaining in a delightful tone.
“What kind of deal could you possibly strike? Do you even have the ability to do that now?” Celine looked him up and down.
Ralph was not too important to her, but things might change. Her decisions would depend on which side someone was on, and Alexander was, at the very least, on the same side as she was.
“Mind your own business!” He did not want to continue the conversation. As for the secret handbook, he had told Margaret to keep it a secret from Celine, thinking it was best she knew nothing about it.
