"Have you eaten?"
"I'm sorry!"
The former question was asked by Charlotte Ramey, and the latter was said by Dirk Carter.
They both spoke simultaneously.
This was the epitome of feeling guilty like a thief.
Charlotte was momentarily stunned, furrowing her brow, just about to ask why he was apologizing, when Dirk realized and said, "Oh, I forgot today is Friday, coming back so late made Deputy Mayor Ramey wait for so long."
Only then did Charlotte come to her senses and said, "It's fine, oh right, I forgot to tell you, my daughter is back."
"Oh... um..."
Dirk seemed a bit flustered.
Charlotte said, "Don't worry, there's no need to be nervous. My daughter is quite easy to get along with, she won't be home for many days, I'll introduce you two."
Introduce?
What's going on.
Dirk hadn't even looked into the room yet.
Then Christina Ramey walked out, extended her hand to Dirk, and said, "Hello, Mr. Carter, I'm Christina Ramey."
