Chapter 87

Meanwhile, at the community hall, everyone else had arrived save for the one to whom the empty seat next to Leanna's belonged.

Wendy said, "Hey, what's the matter with Harry? Is he stuck in traffic or something?" Then, she turned to look at Leanna. "Leanna, I forgot to bring my cell phone with me. Why don't you call Harry up and ask him where he is?" she suggested while throwing a meaningful look at the latter.

Leanna was rendered speechless. That's too obvious, Ms. Shaffer.

Naomi let out a quiet sigh. "I'll make the phone call."

Wendy gave her a push. "What's wrong with you, Naomi? Oh, right, it suddenly occurs to me that there are two dishes left in the kitchen. Come on, let's hurry and bring them over," she said while dragging Naomi away.

Obviously, the other neighbors at the table had communicated with Naomi about this in advance. "Just give Harry a buzz, Leanna. The food will get cold in a while."

"Yeah, that's right! Ask him where he is now."

Leanna let out a sigh. Just as she was about to take out her phone, Harry's voice suddenly rang beside her. "It's not necessary, everyone. Sorry to keep you guys waiting."

A middle-aged woman asked, "Harry, why—" Then, seeing another person standing behind him, she broke off mid-sentence.

Harry immediately introduced Aidan, saying, "This is President Pearson. You guys have met him yesterday, right?"

"Oh, my, how could we forget about President Pearson? He's even more good-looking than the celebrities on TV!"
