Christopher finally came out of the conference hall after a long meeting. As he was heading to his cabin, he saw Eddie exiting the elevator. He halted and scowled at him, clearly annoyed.
"Good morning," Eddie said, a warm smile on his face.
Christopher checked his wristwatch instead of greeting him back. His lips twisted as he said, "It is almost noon, and you are coming to the office now. You didn't attend the meeting either. What have you been up to?"
"Um…" Eddie scratched his eyebrow. Eddie appeared unfazed by Christopher's attitude and responded calmly, "Well, you see, I've been busy arranging a surprise for Vivian. I am going to announce my and Vivian's engagement at the party, and I want everything to be perfect."
"Okay! Surprise is more important than the meeting, I guess," Christopher said, his tone becoming sharper than before. "Don't you know what has been going on here since the morning?"
