38. Husband and Wife

"Finally, after such a long time of not hanging out together, today I got to chat with you again."

Deasy greeted Veronica with an ecstatic smile as she arrived. This evening, the two of them had decided to meet after work.

Remembering back, it had been over a week since they last saw each other, not even a brief exchange of messages or phone calls. Normally, these two women always met up, whether for lunch together or going out on weekends.

Aside from being busy with their own matters, Deasy was actually reluctant because the last time she met Veronica, she got a severe scolding from Darwin. Fortunately, earlier today Veronica reached out first and invited her to meet this evening.

"No need to be overly dramatic. You're the one pretending to be busy. It's unusual for you to not call or text me for the past few days," Veronica complained as she opened the menu handed by the café waitress.
