Chapter 24 Delayed for a Few Days

In the afternoon.

Mae filled the refrigerator with all kinds of food and told me how I should plan my ideal diet. She then walked to me and said, "Ms. Brown, it's been days since the money from Hillingdon Hospital should be received. The finance department has been calling and asking how the current situation is. Do you think you should make a phone call to Mr. Cotton?''

Chewing on some beans, I threw the rest that was in a bowl into the rubbish bin because I couldn't stand the taste. Mae was still standing across the table, so I asked her to sit down. ''How many days has the project been delayed?'' I asked.

"About two or three days!" She paused and said, "It's not a long time, but the amount is considerably large, and the company was supposed to use it for the development of a new market. Now that it's delayed, the profit of the company for the next season will be affected."
