Chapter 124 - Chat With Friends. (1/2)

Ch-123

After the heavy meeting, Cedric slumped on his seat tiredly. Mark was too cruel. He made Cedric work without a break. He got to attend meetings back to back in a row.

Stretching his arms, he leaned back as he tried to relax his sore neck. ”CEO, You have a lunch appointment with the President,” Mark informed.

”What does that old man want now?” Cedric said.

”He said… if he disagrees it's your loss. As he is going to meet his in-law,” Mark said.

Cedric: ”...”

”Fine! Let's go there!” Cedric said.

Picking his coat, he hung it on his shoulders, not bothering to put his hands in the coat hands. Wearing the glasses with his coat hanging on his shoulders, he looked so hot. The office turned into fangirls as he walked out.

Meanwhile…

”Uncle, I didn't go to the office yesterday, I have to make up for it,” Eleanor said.

”Child, I am just asking you to have lunch with the master and his friends. Master is so sad that he didn't get to see you for the past two days,” Eric said from the other side of the call.

Eleanor just sighed before giving in to him.

”Fine, send me the location,” Eleanor said to him before bidding goodbye.

Hanging the call, she looked at her disk filled with papers that were screaming for her attention.

Sighing, she started doing the paperwork. Clearing half of the pile, she leaned back only to see that it's lunchtime. Picking her purse, she walked out.

”Henrietta, I will return after lunch. Arrange the documents of the meeting for the afternoon,” Eleanor said.

Henrietta bowed her head in a gesture of saying yes.

Leaving the place, she went to her parking lot. Eleanor wondered what Cedric was doing. She dropped a message to him as she waited for a taxi.

[What are you doing? Lunchtime? Got lunch to eat?]  she messaged him.

Cedric was sitting in his back seat and looking through the laptop heard his phone ding. Opening it, he saw it was from Eleanor. Since, its lunchtime, he knew she would be eating. But she remembered him too. And was concerned about his meals too. It was so kidney-touching for him.

[Wait! Isn't it heart-touching?] his heart came and complained readily when it noticed that someone took over its place.

[They are the only organs that are placed deeper. So! It's kidney touching! I can think and say whatever! Just shut up!] his brain chided his heart. And it went away silently feeling sad.

Feeling kidney touched, Cedric started typing a reply.

[Going to have dinner with dad. How about you? Having lunch?] he replied.

[No… I am just waiting for a taxi. I left the car in the presentation building. It was sent to the house. And in the morning you dropped me. So… I am waiting for a taxi.] she replied.

[Why are you waiting for a taxi?]  he asked.

[Dad misses me. So uncle Eric asked me to have lunch with him.]  Eleanor replied.

[Don't climb a taxi. I am coming. I will drop you off.] Cedric replied.

[No… it's fine. I can go with a taxi.]  she said.
