After hanging up the phone, I went out.
Patrick was very busy recently, so I did not disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the place that I had appointed with Michael.
After arriving at the gate, I paid the taxi fee and went upstairs to wait for him.
Since it was in the morning, the cafe was almost empty. So I chose a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down calmly.
It was only 9:30 a.m.
I sat there, thinking over and over again about how to speak to Michael later.
If Michael would refuse me or hesitate later, I would have to say something to move him.
I practiced countless versions in my mind.
At 10 a.m. I saw Michael opening the coffee shop's door. He looked around and saw me, then strode over to me.
At that time, I was extremely nervous. Whether this matter can be turned around would depend on this meeting.
