than two minutes!" He questioned himself in bewilderment.

"I was late for less than five minutes when I ran all the way here, and I did not receive any inquiries from her on my cell phone. I ran over from the other side of the road, and I did not see her before I crossed the road. If I minus two minutes, I was, at most, only late for less She didn't answer the call, nor did she reply to his texts. All she did was respond with such a short sentence after a long period?

That woman!

Feeling his blood boiling, Willy was seething that his face turned purple from fury. He did not notice that her reply was "Our date", not "Today's date". Although there was only one word different, it had totally different meanings to them.

It was almost nine o'clock. Without realizing it, he had waited for more than fifty minutes. His seven orifices seeped with smoke. His fingers flew past the keyboard before he dialed her number once more.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed has been turned off..."

After several tries, her phone was turned off.

Gritting his teeth, Willy could barely hold himself back from losing his temper. "Turned off? Turned off!"

That d*mn woman. What an odd temper she had!

Why wouldn't she inform him before leaving?

Well! That said, it was his fault since he was late! Before she left, however, why didn't she ask him where he was? Couldn't he be stuck in the traffic or delayed from an accident for merely two minutes? So be it if she wanted to leave, but she should, at least, give him a heads-up. Why would she want him to waste his time waiting?

That instant, he wanted nothing more than to give her a good beating. After closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, only then did Willy manage to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

If it were to be Laurie, she would have obediently waited for him...

All of a sudden, Willy's heart seemed to have been hollowed out. In an instant, all his emotions were replaced by a deep sense of loneliness and regret. His mind lingered with the scene where she waited for him in the lobby of the company and under the bridge. Feeling dispirited, his shoulders drooped. "Waiting turns out to feel so awful..."
