Lawrence was silent for a few seconds. Then he nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Well... is it urgent? Should you go back now?"
"No, I came back today, so he called me to ask me to go there and talk about the work progress."
"Oh..." Evelyn nodded and then asked, "Do you want to leave right now or leave after having breakfast?"
"Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm afraid that... I can't have breakfast with you."
When Evelyn heard this, she felt a bit regretful, but at the same time, she was guilty, because Lawrence came back to see her, but he had to leave without eating anything.
However, she knew that his work was more important so she just said, "It doesn't matter. Your work is the most important."
"I'm really sorry."
"Oh, don't say that." Evelyn waved her hand, "This is your first job, so you burden a lot. It's just a breakfast. It doesn't matter. Let's eat
together when you come back."
After finishing the last sentence, Evelyn couldn't help but exhale.
Eat together when he came back...
She didn't know if he had understood her implication.
"Okay." Lawrence said with a smile, "Well... you can only have breakfast lone. I'm really sorry about what happened today. I don't know when I can finish my work there. If it's early, I'll come here and treat you to a meal."
"No." Evelyn shook her head, "It's not a good idea for you to run back and forth like this. You don't have to come here at that time. Let's meet when you come back from England next time."
If she agreed, Lawrence would be tireder. He had come all the way here to see her, and he must be weary. If they were already lovers, she could nod in agreement. But... they hadn't been in a relationship.
However, even if they were lovers, she wanted to be a considerate girlfriend.
Lawrence sighed lightly, "That's good. Go and eat breakfast first. It's not early now, and you have to eat three meals a day on time. Do you understand?"
Evelyn smiled and agreed. "I know. Don't worry. Go ahead and do your own work. Don't worry about me. We don't go the same way."
Lawrence thought for a moment and nodded, "Then... I'll go first."
"Alright:'
After running a few steps, Lawrence turned around and made a gesture of calling, "Evelyn, I'll call you!"
"Okay!"
Evelyn stood where she was and watched as Lawrence ran away. When she could no longer see his figure, she shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "I thought I could tell him my decision when we eat together, but... it seems that the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks."
After that, she pursed her lips. Although she was not disappointed in heart, her mood was affected more or less.
"I'm not in the mood to eat anymore. What should I do? Besides, it's too silly to eat alone." She shook her head, "Forget it. I'd better eat lunch at noon."
