Chapter 23. A Costly Switch

It was already minutes past five in the evening after the long day's job and meetings, when Alex realized that he was supposed to call Aria about the outing that Dalton had talked about earlier.

He fumbled with his phone for a while as he contemplated in his mind, on how he would talk to her on phone since he had never had to call her in that manner before.

The clothes and shoes that he had ordered were on their way to the mansion by delivery, but he had not even called the owner of the dress to inform her that Dalton wanted her to be ready by six for an event.

Before he was done with every company issue that he was to sought out, time flew so fast without him even realizing.

He would have thought that calling to inform her an hour before the time would be easy, but he soon realized in disappointment the moment he had called her phone and it was switched off.
