The Wrong Woman

Imogen quickly cleared her throat and reassured Mila, "It's okay, Mom. Your urgent matters come first. We can always arrange another meeting in the future." "Please, let me apologize to your parents personally," Mila insisted.

Feeling flustered, Imogen replied, "No, really, there's no need for apologies... I'll explain everything to them. I'm sure they'll understand."

Mila persisted, "That doesn't feel quite right."

Imogen couldn't fathom allowing someone as prominent as Mila to apologize to Gregory and Carol.

After all, it was Imogen and Jasper's oversight for not informing Gregory and Carol of the correct meeting time, resulting in a three-hour delay. Burdened with guilt, Imogen couldn't bring herself to let Mila apologize to Gregory and Carol.

She reassured Mila firmly, "It's really not necessary."

In her rush to leave, Mila didn't insist further. "Next time, we'll make sure to visit them in person."

Imogen held back from further comment.

After bidding farewell, she glanced over at Jasper.

Jasper also received a message from Nathan. "I've just been given urgent orders from my superiors, so I have to return.

"We sincerely regret missing the appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley. We will make it a priority to visit and apologize in person next time." Jasper understood that Nathan's superiors likely held prominent positions, possibly at the national level.
