Just then, Amanda Jenkins's phone rang. Her heart leapt; it was definitely Lucas calling!
She rarely had friends who would call her, and Derei had been busy filming lately.
Amanda hurriedly handed the fabric she was holding to Emily and dug out her phone from her handbag.
But her heart sank when she saw the caller ID on her phone screen.
It was from the company.
"Hello..." Amanda answered the call, her tone disheartened.
Although she had always told herself to quietly wait for his return, each time her phone rang, she thought it might be Lucas.
And each time, she was disappointed.
This feeling was like returning to that period of waiting five years ago.
On the other end of the line, a colleague's voice came through, "Amanda Jenkins, come back to the company immediately. Mr. William wants to check the designs."
"What?!" Amanda exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't we agree on half a month? Only half that time has passed; there's still more than a week left."
