During breakfast, Ophelia glanced at the time. "Do you have plans today? You can't accompany me for the weekend, can you?" She had secretly checked Kenneth's schedule earlier.

I'm not. Ophelia lowered her head, pretending to look unhappy. "You promised that the weekend would be mine."

"Alright, then I'll call Mark and have him go alone." With that, Kenneth picked up his phone to dial.
