In the meeting room, Yikali had been waiting for several hours.
Her mood was becoming increasingly irritable.
But as midday passed, she calmed down.
She ate the snacks leisurely.
On the other hand, Jiang Xu had finished all his work at hand.
Looking at the time, it was already half past twelve.
Well, first he went to the cafeteria for lunch, and then he slowly made his way to the meeting room.
Exercising his facial muscles at the door, Jiang Xu pushed it open, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Miss Yikali.
I've been swamped with so much work today that I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I apologize for neglecting our honored guest."
His performance was spot-on, leaving no room for criticism.
"It's okay," Yikali stood up, smiling, "I'm hungry, would you join me for a meal?"
Jiang Xu did not respond to her suggestion but asked, "Is there something important you want to discuss with me, Miss Yikali?"
