“I’m busy tonight, Megan replied quickly.

Sullivan chuckled lightly, asking casually, “Got a date? With Begonin?”

Megan felt no need to explain herself, but she still said, “It’s an investor Mrs. Lambert introduced me to! Mrs. Lambert says capable. We’ve arranged to meet tonight to discuss things further.”
