Would he have time tonight?
In the blink of an eye, it was five-thirty. In the office, people could hardly wait to pack their stuff, each looking forward to tonight's Christmas Eve party!
The atmosphere was always infectious. As Emily Walker watched everyone leave work, she began to anticipate Christmas Eve and started packing her things.
However, expectations are always beautiful, but reality often lets people down.
Just as Emily Walker stepped out of the office, Baron Stuart's incoming call rang.
Looking at the familiar incoming call, she could hardly imagine that Baron Stuart would wish her a Merry Christmas Eve.
"Hello?"
"I have a social engagement today and may be back late."
"..." Emily Walker's originally expectant face became stiff at these words and fell into a daze.
He has an engagement tonight? Won't he be accompanying her for Christmas Eve?
"Oh." she replied, sounding somewhat disappointed.
