Alexander Stuart was like a deer in headlights.
Frozen on the spot!
If it weren't for Ella Lacey's reminder, he would have completely forgotten about his dinner plans with Tercy Mason!
These past two days, all his time and energy had been devoted to tending to Ella's wound. He didn't have any bandwidth to think about anything else...
Seeing his shocked expression, Ella didn't need him to say anything to know she was right.
She apologized sincerely, "Dr. Stuart, I'm sorry to have disrupted your life."
"No, no, it's okay,"
Alexander snapped back to reality, unperturbed, "This has nothing to do with Miss Lacey. Besides, there is a month until the dinner. Miss Mason said that if I couldn't make it one day, we could just postpone it to the next day."
Even though he seemed composed, he actually felt quite unsure.
After all, he had agreed with Tercy to start counting the days from now. Unexpectedly, he broke the commitment right from the start.
