I closed my eyes and forced myself to not think about these things. The accumulated exhaustion from the past few days soon caught up with me, and I fell asleep shortly after.

The sun was already high up in the sky by the time I woke up the next day, but I could afford to sleep in as it was the weekend.

A quick glance at the alarm clock revealed that it was ten in the morning, and I stretched lazily in bed as I didn’t feel like getting up just yet.

Sleeping in during weekends was probably a luxury for every white-collar worker out there.

However, I got a call from Yuval right as I was about to go back to sleep.

We aren’t supposed to meet up until two hours later… Why is he calling me so early?

Although I was somewhat annoyed by it, I answered his call anyway.

“There’s still quite some time before our date, Mr. Lambert. May I ask why you’re calling me so soon?” I asked coldly.

“Oh, I just wanted to ask you if you’d like me to come pick you up at your place later?”

Yuval sounded both a little nervous and excited at the same time.

“That won’t be necessary. I’ll just hail myself a cab later.”

I couldn’t help but feel a little repulsed at the thought of him coming over to pick me up, so I refused his offer without any hesitation.

“All right, then. I’ll wait for you at the place that we have agreed upon.”
