Chloe plonked the cake on the kitchen counter, her heart brimming with anticipation. She picked up the prepped cream and other decor stuff, and gingerly started dressing up the cake.
The afternoon has left her plenty of time to do a zillion things. But soon enough, Chloe's phone was buzzing.
Spotting the incoming call, her lips twitched. She should have blocked this number ages ago.
Staring at the screen for a bit, Chloe sighed and picked it up. Although on a call, she still managed to keep her smile intact and her tone polite, "Hello, Mr. Watson."
Claud's deep, distinct voice came from the other side, "I've booked us a table for lunch. Let's eat together this afternoon."
Chloe closed her eyes, feeling helpless at this man's high-handedness.
"I'm kinda swamped right now, Mr. Watson." Chloe said.
"I'll pick you up." Claud said.
Chloe took a deep breath, "Mr. Watson, if you've got something to say, just spit it out over the phone."
"If you agree to be my girlfriend, you don't have to eat with me today." Claud said.
"I'm gonna pass, Mr. Watson!" Chloe said.
"Then come eat. I'll pick you up." Claud said.
"Where and when?" Chloe was speechless, why were the men around her always so troublesome?
Claud then sent her the restaurant address.
She almost threw her phone when she saw it!
