RONALD POV

I buried myself into work,ignoring the thoughts swirling in my mind. My heart has been yearning for Emily but have been using work as an excuse. My phone buzzed,attracting my attention,I picked the phone to see Colin’s name displayed on the screen.

“What’s up,man?” Colin’s voice blasted through the speaker. I rolled my eyes and relaxed into my chair.

“Just busy with work. Anything? It’s unlike you to call very early in the morning,” I replied.

“It’s nothing you have to worry about. Clear your schedule for the afternoon,there is a person we need to meet,” he said,his voice turning serious all of a sudden. “Let’s meet at our usual spot,”

“Okay,” I said.Then the phone went dead. Why could Colin want us to meet today? I focused on the documents on the table and continued working.

I put a call across to Leila, “Clear my schedules for the afternoon,”

“Okay ,sir,” she said from the other side of the phone.
