Chapter 21

*The next day*

-11:55am-

I had finished up my last class for my final semester before exams and had been working for about two hours before I remembered that I had to call Jeremiah. Walking to the back office, I pulled his business card out of my bag and nervously dialed his number before calling him.

Hearing the phone ring a couple of times, I almost hang up until I heard a voice on the other end.

“Jeremiah Brown, how may I help you?” He asked with a deep smooth voice, making my nerves shoot up.

“H-hi, it Amaya. You said you wanted to talk to me?” I said nervously, internally beating myself up for stuttering.

“Yeah, do you mind if we meet up for lunch actually? I don’t really want to talk about this over the phone. It will take too long.” He said, making me furrow my eyebrows at why he wanted to talk to someone like me.

“Umm can you just come by Secret Recipe, I work there.”
