You Are My Close Friend

Ann was a little surprised, but she didn't ask Phillip not to come. She thought it was a good opportunity for Phillip and Fred to know each other better.

"Fine, Fred and I will order the food."

Ann hung up and felt a little embarrassed.

She said to Fred, "Well, Phillip will come to join us."

Fred, who had heard their conversation, noticed that Ann was a little embarrassed.

He nodded and joked, "So, will you introduce me to him as your close friend?"

Ann laughed and said, "I will!"

After a while, she thought she needed to communicate with Fred in advance.

"Phillip may have misunderstood you before. Don't take it to heart if he says something wrong."

Fred said gently, "Don't worry. Mr. Phillip is a discreet man."

Hearing Fred's words, Ann felt less nervous. She believed Fred and Phillip would become friends if the misunderstandings between them were cleared up.

Phillip arrived soon. When he got to the dining room, Ann and Fred had just finished ordering.
