In the middle of their meal, Anya received an email from Randy. The content says that there was an emergency at the studio.
A problem from a certain client arose, and it was an important business. Randy told her the urgent need to meet with the client.
Anya was immediately in a dilemma. She held her work important, but today is their day off. It was a weekend, and although there are time Anya worked even these times of the day, she still wished clients would respect off work times. It is a sense of professionalism.
But seeing the urgency in Randy’s text, she could only turn to Damon.
Damon already noticed Anya’s off expression when she looked at her phone, and he was already looking at her.
Anya pursed her lips as she met Damon’s eyes. She really doesn’t want to ruin their family date today, but she was in a stitch.
“I received an email saying there is an urgent business I need to tend to. Uhmm,” Anya was at a lost after as she saw Damon’s dissatisfied expression.
“Do you really have to? It’s your off today, anything can wait until work days comes again.” Damon said. He was also a business man, and although he was quite a workaholic, he still knew this much of courtesy.
Allen who was eating at the side, felt that his mother was leaving that he immediately raised his head.
“Mommy, leaving?” He asked with a pout, clearly not wanting to let Anya go. Anya smiled appeasingly at him and looked back at Damon.
“But it’s about a client. What should I do?” Anya was helpless as she doesn’t want to leave as well. She opted to ask Damon, anyway he was professional at this. she felt he knew best.
Damon’s expression lightened when he heard Anya asking for his opinion. He cleared his throat and said to her.
“Well, ask for the details, and email the client back as the owner. You would surely get back to them at office hours. Professionals will have respect for that, at the very list.” He explained and advised professionally. Even though his intensions was mixed with wanting Anya to stay, what he said was not a lie.
Anya accepted Damon’s suggestion and emailed Randy for the details, he also said to him that they were just going to get back at the client in office hours.
Randy, at the receiving end, saw that Anya was unwilling to go back. He furrowed his brows and called her.
Anya’s phone and rang and she saw it was Randy, she answered it immediately.
“Ms. Anya, the client is not someone I am qualified to deal with. It is a bigshot, so I ask for you deal with it instead, and it is urgent.” Randy explained, determined to convince Anya.
Anya furrowed her brows at this.
“Randy, it is our day off today. I think it is still appropriate to deal with it when we go back to work.” She responded.
Randy clenched his teeth on the other line.
“But Miss, I really hope you will deal with this,” Randy stubbornly said. Anya was helpless as she heard this, but she just put it as Randy being so dedicated and perfectionist at work.
She sighed and assured Randy before hanging up the call. She then called Jessie to deal with the client for Randy.
“Jes, sorry for bothering you. Randy said we had a client that has urgent business? Can you deal with the client, use the official mail. Say that we will get back to them at office hours. If they still pushed their way, tell them either they agree, or we will not continue the business.” Anya explained to Jessie. Although this client might be a bigshot as Randy had said, Anya still valued professionalism and respect more. So she would rather let go than deal with a troublesome client.
“Alright, miss. I got it.” Jessie responded positively. Anya smiled and apologized to her again.
“I’m so sorry to disturb you, you should be resting.”
“It’s fine Miss, it’s just a mail.” Jessie assured her. after a few more words and instructions, Anya hanged up the phone.
Damon who was waiting at the side, saw Anya put down the phone. He then took the phone from her hands and put it in his pockets.
Anya was taken aback from his actions.
“Why did you take my phone?” Anya questioned with a confused face. Damon saw this and put some food on her plate.
“We are in a date. No phones allowed starting this moment. You need to relax and ease your mind from work.” He said as he gestured for her to continue eating.
Anya could only shake her head, but still a smile hang loose on her lips. She happily ate her meal and looked at her son. She saw his mouth full of stain and she laughed heartily as she wiped it for him.
The three continued their meal happily.
Randy was in his desk in his study room when he received a call from Jessie. He was questioning but he still picked it up.
“Randy, Miss Anya asked me to deal with the client that had an urgent business like you said? But I can’t find any message at the mail box though. Did they direct message you?” Jessie asked. She was looking into the task Anya gave her, but she saw none of an urgent and emergency email.
Randy was surprised when he heard this. Anya was really not coming back? Is she very engrossed to her trip that she forgot her business?
Randy knew Anya as a very dedicated woman to her work, so he thought his antics will work. He didn’t expect she would transfer the work for Jessie.
He problematically rubbed his temples as now needed to deal with Jessie as well. He sighed.
“I’ll handle it, you don’t need to worry.” Randy opted to say. Jessie was confused by him and can only ask.
“Are you sure?”
Randy assured her once again and he dropped the call. He then called Veronica to tell her about what happened.

Veronica back at the restaurant slammed her phone at the table. That useless fool! She staired intensely at the other table as she was fuming in anger.
This woman really, she is a pest that is so hard to kill!
