Chapter 249

She sounded excited and he was happy about that considering all the questions he had about her. She asked him to guess where she was right now and he miserably failed in all the attempts. She couldn't bear to wait any longer and exclaimed in excitement that she was in New York. He was surprised, well the few days have been quiet a surprise for him starting with Diya, then Nichole, his sister and now her. She told him that she was there for some product promotion in conjunction with a photo shoot. She asked him if they could meet sometime as she will be in between schedules over the next week. She added that she was aware that he has a demanding job and a busy life and asked him if he was free the following Saturday.

He agreed to her invitation without even thinking, as he knew he was going to be busy during the week and meeting her would only be possible on the weekend. He had plans with his friends to driver over to the country side over the weekend and maybe go with his niece for horse riding and some fruit picking in a farm which he had promised that he will take her sometime next month. He had thought about doing it over the weekend as it was his sister's fifteenth wedding anniversary and would be a nice time for the two of them to go somewhere. Without thinking of anything he had agreed to meet her, and she had ended the conversation saying that she would call him back later that night.

It felt good to hear her voice, as she was cheerful and he quiet relieved as it gave a sense that after all his suspicions were wrong. If they were true she would not have sounded the way she did, definitely actively participating in public events. But he had to find out for himself in person and ask her just to make sure. He decided that this time he will not hesitate and confront her when the time is right, but delicately handle the subject so that she won't get upset. He didn't know where they were going to meet, but he thought that it might be some place where she would just want to hang out. Based on how cheerful was he suspected that he might be her date to some public event? He picked up the phone and dialed his friend to cancel next weeks plan.
