“Sir, there’s an incoming call from the Office of the President. The President wants to talk to you.” Ethan’s secretary informed him.
He was in the middle of the meeting when his secretary came in, holding the phone. He raised his hand to stop the video conference. “Excuse me for a second. It’s important that I take this call. Let’s take a quick break. I’ll be back as soon as I'm done.” He smiled and walked out of the conference room.
“Hello,” Ethan answered as soon as he reached his office.
“Ethan,” a familiar man’s voice answered. “I called you personally to say that I freed my schedule for you. Come and visit me at my house for dinner. Let’s talk there.”
“When are you free, Uncle?” Ethan asked.
“I’m free tonight.”
“Alright, I’ll be there. I just need to finish my meeting. See you in a bit.” Ethan has always had a very close relationship with the President, so he could talk to him casually.
Ethan returned to his meeting as soon as he ended the call.
