"Alright then. I'll wait for you here!"
***
At this moment, Charlie and Yule's family had just finished dinner. After that, Yule dragged Charlie to accompany him to drink some liquor with him before he finally returned to the guest room that Rachel had prepared for him. After taking a bath, he lay down on his bed to rest.
At this time, Claire called him and asked him," Husband, are you making any progress in Eastcliff?"
Charlie smiled as he said, "It’s not that bad. Everything is going well and I should be able to get everything done in three days' time.” 5
"That's good.” Claire hummed and said with concern, " You have to take good care of yourself when you are outside. After all, you're so far away from home."
Charlie felt a little touched deep in his heart and he smiled as he said, "Don't worry, my dear wife. I'm an adult now and I know how to look after myself. I'll return home immediately after I'm done with my work here."
"Okay." Claire smiled before she said, "By the way, husband, may I ask you to help me with something?"
Charlie hurriedly replied, "Wife, why are you so polite
with me? Just tell me what you want me to do." 3
Claire replied, "Well, Loreen was chatting with me today and she happens to be back in Eastcliff too. Her grandmother will be having a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow at noon. Could you help me to prepare a gift for Loreen's grandmother and attend her birthday banquet on my behalf?"
Charlie had planned his own schedule and most of his main business would be done tomorrow. 5
He would have to accompany Yule to Golding Group to participate in the board of directors meeting in the morning. After that, he will go to the Wade cemetery a t Mount Wintry to pay his respects to his parents. However, he would not have any plans at all for the day after tomorrow. In fact, after he was done settling everything, he was planning to stay back for an extra day, the day after tomorrow, to see if the Golding family matters could be sorted out and finalized. If everything could be settled, then he would return to Aurous Hill the next day. 7
Therefore, he did not plan to leave Eastcliff the day after tomorrow and it would not be a big issue for him to drop by and attend Loreen's grandmother's birthday banquet.
