"What did Donald say?"
Neil beamed.
"Meeting cancelled. He said there's no need to waste my time coming over anymore," he replied. "My presumptions were right after all. There's no way Arch would bother staying in a meeting he didn't want to attend in the first place, not when his wife is present."
Jodi's brow hiked up in surprise.
"He really does love her."
"I guess so." Neil shrugged, lowering his gaze to the watch in his hand, "Now that she's there, I don't think he'll remember I should be arriving today. Even if he remembers, I'm not scared of anything since her visiting him already secured us the assurance that he'll be in a good mood. At least until the end of today, he won't be punishing or cutting anyone's bonus."
In spite of herself, Jodi felt her lips curl up in a wistful smile.
"Ava really does have it good. You know... I want to say something, promise you won't sell me out to your boss."
