Leonard told his lover that he was not visiting tonight due to a meeting with a business partner.
Calista's eyes narrowed. "Business partner?"
"Yes."
"What business are you in?"
"Small business, baby."
"Say. What business is that?"
Leonard didn't answer. He decided to change the subject. He must keep his business a secret from his lover. 'Be patient, baby. When my company launched. You will be special guest and I will put a ring on your ring finger.'
A smile was etched on his lips when he imagined a diamond ring wrapped around his lover's ring finger.
Leonard sighed. 'I can't wait for that time to come, mark you as mine forever.'
Leonard was lost in thought until his lover's voice startled him. "Sorry, the signal is bad. How are things, Kia?"
"Kia, it's better. She's in her room. Is you like to speak to her?"
"No. Have you had dinner? And where are you now? Tell me."
"I had dinner. How about you?"
