Embarrassing day
Ivy felt pity for the man who was cursing himself for coming late. She knew it was not intentional and also with his untidy look, it was clear that he had hurried here as soon as he had got up. She rubbed her forehead. "It's okay, Danny. It's not like you wanted it to happen." She tried to console him. "It just happened and don't worry. You can speak to her on the phone when she calls."
"No Ivy. It's all my fault. If only I had not taken the drink at the party yesterday, I could have seen her off."
"Now that we were on the topic, is this the reason why you couldn't come to dine with us?"
"Yes. When Aria gave me a call to invite me, I was already at a party and I couldn't leave half-way. It was a party celebrating my win in a case and the client was a prominent figure. I had to give him some face."
"That explains it. I was wondering why you were not there. There was no way Aria would not have invited you." Ivy said.
"Yeah."
