After a while, Daley got up and stood by the bedside to get dressed. I looked at him naked. “Are you going to be late?”
He put on his clothes and raised his hand to glance at his watch. “No, it is just right. Not a minute is wasted.”
“Will you come back and have lunch with me?”
“I'm afraid I can't. I'm meeting a client for lunch.” He bent down and kissed my forehead. “But I promise I'll be back tonight.”
“What time?”
“There's a VIP dinner at the hotel at 7 pm. I want you to accompany me.”
“Right here?” I asked curiously.
“Yes, would you like to join me for dinner, Mrs. Logan?”
“Yes, Mr. Daley.”
“I have to go. See you tonight.” He put on his black suit and left the room.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already afternoon. So I called the hotel service and ordered an afternoon tea. Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower.
