Odeta returned to the bedroom blushing and feeling giddy like a teenager. She was not used to such flashy gestures of love, but because she wanted to make James remember, she had decided to be thick-skinned and woo him. She knew if she kept pushing it, everything she had been doing these few days to gain Don Gardner's attention might yield results.
The phone began to ring, distracting her from her train of thought. She picked up on the second ring when she realized it was Martin. 'Shoot, she had totally forgotten about the meeting!'
"Hey, Martin, sorry I'm running a bit late; I will be there in 30 minutes," Odeta said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you. All the staff are waiting for your arrival," Martin said.
"Sure, I'm on my way,' she said and hung up the call after those words.
