Ben grabbed his keys and headed for the door. His assistant immediately called out, "Mr. Lucas, where are you headed? Should I adjust your schedule?" "No need. Cancel all my afternoon appointments." Ben left these words behind as he strode out toward the parking lot.

Sitting in his car, he couldn't help but berate himself. "What am I doing? Chasing after her again, just because of one vague comment."

After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to go check it out.

"He's heading out alone. Isn't this the perfect chance?"
