The following day, I woke up with a distinct determination of making up for what I did the night before to Maria. As much as possible, I desired to cheer her up today and apologize for the mistake I've made with hopes that it would in some ways alleviate the burdensome feeling I unintentionally inflicted on her.
I was done preparing and was about to leave the premises of my villa when my business phone rang. This sudden and untimely call made my forehead furrowed and creased as I cursed inside my head. This only meant one thing, my presence was highly needed at the company due to a very important matter. I strictly advised my secretary not to disturb me if not due to important matters alone. So even if I desired not to take the call, I have no choice but to answer it.
"Yes, Hazel."
