58 Not Only a Lover

"I really missed your face," Jack Lambert said to Martin. "In fact, we all miss you. So since you are not visiting us, I have to visit you. Forgive me for business hours, but I have a meeting tonight. A very busy period had begun. Anyway, you know it yourself. "

Martin might not know exactly, but he had some idea.

"You won't mind if I hang around a bit?" Jack asked.

"Of course not," the boys replied warmly.

"Okay, so you get back to work and I'll chat with the guys. I will tell them all the embarrassing stories you have had with you.

"I don't have such stories!" Martin blushed. At least not the kind you could tell others, especially high school kids. He sincerely hoped Lambert wasn't saying something stupid.

Of course he won't say anything like that! Jack may sound like a light-hearted man, but he was very responsible and sensible.

"All right," agreed Martin. "I'll try to finish as soon as possible."
