Chapter 383 Not A Match

Most importantly, it was close to where Yuliana went to work.

After handling the kindergarten admission procedures for Rowan, Yuliana asked Caleb to meet her.

Yuliana would usually contact Caleb’s secretary, as he was often occupied with work, and Caleb would call her back when he had free time.

Consequently, Yuliana rarely took the initiative to contact Caleb herself. He was usually the one to reach out to her.

It was late at night when Caleb returned her call.

“What’s up?”

Yuliana had already gone to bed, but because of her job, she kept her phone on with her while she rested, although she set it to vibrate mode.

Yuliana turned on the bedside light, sat up, and checked the time. It was already past eleven o’clock.

“Have you just finished your work?” she asked sleepily.

Caleb noticed that his call had woken her up through her voice. “Apologies for disturbing your rest. I assumed you had something urgent to discuss with me, which is why I returned your call at this late hour.”

Otherwise, he would have called her the following day.

Yuliana didn’t mind him returning her call at this hour. After all, Caleb was no ordinary person.

After a moment of hesitation, she spoke up. “Mr. Jones, could you let me know when you’re available? I would like to arrange a meeting with you.”

Caleb didn’t reply to her immediately. After a few seconds, he said, “If you have time tomorrow at noon, come to the city council to meet me. We can have lunch together.”

Yuliana had intended to return to work the following day, as there was already a substantial work backlog in the company. However, she figured she should deal with the matters between her and Caleb first.

“Okay, I’ll be there tomorrow noon.”

Caleb then asked, “Anything else?”

“That’s all,” replied Yuliana.

Get some rest.”
