DEMI
I don't think I heard her right. "I'm sorry, what was that? You are friends with who?"
"Olivia Dunn." The lady called Eliana repeats. "She's an old friend of mine. Look, it's a bit of a long story. Can we maybe grab a seat inside and talk?"
I flick my wrist to check my time. I am late from lunch by ten minutes. It'll take me another five to seven minutes to get back to the office assuming there's no traffic. I glance back at the restaurant. It's so tempting to hear everything this woman has to say but I already got on father's bad side this morning. If I disappear from work, mother won't be able to cover for me on that front.
"Hey, look, I am rushing back to work but I'd love to speak with you about Olivia. Do you think we can reschedule?"
"This will only take ten minutes." She insists with big eyes.
