Persie's heart skipped a beat as he felt the familiar buzz of his cell phone vibrating in his hand. Instinctively, he reached for it.
When he saw the text message from Demetrius, a surge of anticipation coursed through his veins, and he couldn't help but spring up from his seat.
Quickly, Persie locked his office door from the inside. With a smile that radiated his eagerness, he beamed into Demetrius' office.
Demetrius, taken aback by Persie's swift response, rose to his feet and greeted him, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"I thought you had forgotten me," Demetrius exclaimed, a mixture of jest and relief evident in his tone.
Persie replied, "I'm glad you texted, or I probably would have remained stuck in there."
Demetrius couldn't help but reciprocate Persie's joy, a wide smile adorning his face as he enveloped him in a warm hug.
Seated comfortably now, the two began their lunchtime rendezvous.
