"Really? Well, since that's the case, I'd better hang up."
"Actually, maybe it's a sign of fate. I'm here doing nothing and I thought maybe... you wanted to go to the movies today? Nothing too elaborate, of course. Just for a movie."
On the other end of the line, Kader was silent for a few seconds, which seemed like an eternity to Lucas. Finally, she answered with a slight laugh.
"Movie? Just to clarify, Tanaka, this isn't a romantic invitation, is it?" Lucas almost choked.
Lucas almost choked. "What? No, of course not! Look, it's just that I'm curious about how Eddie is coping with this new phase as a coach, and you're probably the person who knows the most about him. I thought we could talk. And, well, I'm bored too."
Kader laughed again. "Oh, I see. So you want to use my company as an excuse to spy on my father. I'm feeling so valued right now."
