"Nooooo, the man is extremely punctual and is expecting me to show up with someone right now. Ok, let's do this. You come here now and meet him. If he approves of you, I will tell him that you would meet him directly at the site after sometime," Aziz continued pleading with Karim.
Karim gave Jia Li a look of apology and said, "do you mind accompanying me to meet a potential client for a bit. You can wait at another table while I meet him."
"Don't be silly. I am already feeling guilty that I am delaying you from work. I am the one who should be apologising instead," she replied.
"Ok, it's settled then," he turned the car to go to the hotel address which Aziz had sent him.
"Your translator is not here, Mr. Aziz. Are you sure you have found one for me or is this going to be wastage of my time?" an irate Hui asked him.
"He is…uh…he is here, see," Aziz breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Karim walking towards them.
