While I sag in my chair on a long exhale, and then abruptly jump when I hear my phone ringtone seeping from my bag.
Oh Dear Lord.
Obviously he has freed himself. And I definitely not going answering his call. Yes, I let it rings off and it's immediately ringing again, but it's my normal ringtone this time.
Then I scoop my phone from my bag again and take Lady Yi call.
"Hello. Good morning, Lady Yi," I greet cheerfully.
"Hi, yes. Please, just call me Yi Ran. Hey, I was just checking in. Have you managed to get the ball rolling yet?" She asks.
"Yes, I've prepared a schedule of fees for my services, Yi Ran, and I've drafted a few ideas to send over," I inform her.
"Brilliant." She is very enthusiastic.
"Okay. I'll look forward to receiving them. Where do we go from there?" She adds.
