Chapter 58 She Was Stood Up

• "I'm at the entrance of the restaurant, Mr. Spencer. Should I just walk in?"
• Hugo regained his senses before giving the quickest response that he could manage. "I'm so sorry, Miss Wagner. I just received another important call, and I've gone down the elevator into the parking lot. I'll have to meet you some other time," he said in a raspy voice. Then, he ended the call immediately.
• His towering figure wavered unsteadily as if he had just been punched in the guts. Everything had happened too suddenly, and he felt like he was still in shock. As he was in the midst of his disbelief, he heard a ding from the elevator before someone walked out. He hastily held the magazine up to cover his own face, and he could hear his heart pounding in his chest as he watched Celia walking out of the elevator.
