“Natalia?” Reiner’s familiar voice answered the phone questioningly.
He knew that I was supposed to be working and I usually never called him during my work hours at the bar.
“Yes, it’s me. Umm…Kat’s birthday is coming up so I was thinking of talking about some plans with her after work so…can you pick me up like…half an hour later? I don’t want you to wait, you know…” I said as I tried to sound casual and normal.
“Sure,” Reiner replied without hesitation.
Well, that was easier than I thought. Reiner didn’t ask any questions, and everything seemed to have settled down well without issues.
“Thank you. I’ll give you a call when I’m done, is that ok?” I asked sweetly.
Reiner is supposed to be busy having dinner with a client, so I better keep this phone call short. I didn’t want to disturb him when I knew that he was still working.
“Sure,” he replied in short.
“Ok. I’ll hang up now. Good luck at dinner!” I said cheerfully and supportively.
