Nathalie Quinlan couldn't help but recall the earlier near-misunderstanding when she thought Amadeus was about to talk about a boyfriend, suspecting it was intentional. Lately, the frequency of him mentioning the word 'friend' had been increasing, and she wasn't sure what it meant.
Alfred Garland didn't dwell on that, more concerned about the dinner plans, "Miss Quinlan, do you have time tomorrow?"
Pulling herself out of her flustered state, Nathalie looked down at him, "Tomorrow?"
Before Alfred could nod, her voice came out quite hoarse, "I have some things to do tomorrow, I might not be around during the day." She was planning to visit Pinecone Group's branch in Beijing tomorrow where Jethro was waiting for her at the company.
All day away? Alfred was taken aback. Wasn't it that Ms. Quinlan was in Beijing for the first time, unfamiliar with the city, and hardly knew anyone?
How come Nathalie seemed even busier than he and Amadeus?
