I stared off into space and didn’t answer her. As a result, she decided to end the conversation there and walk away to continue working.

The project at Lavelian Village was going to kickstart as soon as it was approved, so I had made plans to stay there for a while.

Nora called me right after I’d finished packing up my belongings in the office, inviting me to eat dinner with her tonight.

I had yet to answer her when I realized that Armond was standing at my door, gazing at me. Thinking that he was here for business matters, I quickly told Nora, “Give me a minute!” before turning around and asking him, “Have you gotten off work already, Mr. Murphy?”

He nodded. “What are we eating tonight?”

Right. I’d nearly forgotten that I was responsible for managing his daily meals. I hesitated, pondering over Nora’s dinner invitation.

“I haven’t decided yet. What would you like to eat?” I replied instinctively.

“Anything. Work hours are over. Let’s go.”

“You can head on down first. I’ll come as soon as I get my things sorted out.”

I waited for him to walk a good distance away before whispering into my phone. “Nora?”

“Are you going to reject my invitation?”
