"Sure thing." Yohan wasted no time accepting, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Just tell me when you'll be free, and I'll appear."
"How does tomorrow sound?" Emily tried her best not to come across as too desperate.
"Sounds great," he murmured, his eyes lingering a beat too long. "I'll call you when I'm on my way."
"Okay." She exhaled with a soft smile, as though she'd been taking half-breaths the entire time. "I'll see you then."
"Yeah, see you." Yohan waved at her departing figure.
He waited until she was out of sight before heading for the office where the woman was waiting for him.
"You have some guts, keeping me waiting this long…" Jessica said before turning around to face him.
Yohan almost apologized, but he'd rather not do anything that might shift the power balance. Things like this were half about appearances and half about what you actually did.
"Were you trying to show off your connections?" She smiled with one corner of her mouth.
