No backing out.

Anna looked at Jianhong in surprise when she saw him already seated at the private bar room they were both supposed to meet each other. 

"I heard you were already waiting inside but I doubted. I'm surprised you actually showed up before me" 

"I also showed up first for our first meeting" He said with a laugh as he stood up to offer her a seat. 

"Sorry I couldn't meet you that day. I had work to do." He said to her as he took the seat opposite her. 

"It's fine. You already explained you've been busy. You know I was actually thinking you were going to skip this meeting since you're fond of doing that." She said with a teasing smile. 

"What would you like to drink?" He asked once he stopped chuckling. 

"Red wine.... hopefully, I don't get to spill it on my dress again." She answered with a laugh.
