Chapter 22 Welcome To New York, Vidya Raj

  The ringing of Gerardo's cellphone jolted him awake, and he leapt from the red-soft sofa. Vidya Raj's name can be seen on his cellphone. Suddenly, Gerardo picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Indian woman he was about to meet.

  Ehem!

  "I'm sorry for being late.. it's already two o'clock!" Gerardo mumbled.

  [Gerardo] "Good day, Vidya."

  [Vidya] “Hello! I've been calling and texting you for a long time, and you finally picked up my phone; are you busy? I've been at the airport for about fifteen minutes."

  Gerardo immediately panicked, having slept soundly enough to be completely unaware of anything.

  [Gerardo] “Um... sorry! s-sorry! I'm in a meeting and just finished it, and my phone was on silent! I hope this makes sense and... I'll be there right away!”

  [Vidya] “OK, I'll wait. Bye.”

  Vidya gets off the phone. Gerardo dashed out of his room, grabbed his bag from his desk, and dashed down to the lobby, where he rushed to the airport.
