Nora sat down and took a spoonful of the oatmeal. It was perfectly cooked, creamy and lightly sweetened.
But it tasted completely bland to her.
From last night until now, he hadn't sent a single call or text...
Was he really that busy?
Lost in her anxious thoughts, she finished breakfast. As usual, Olive drove her to the company.
As soon as she entered her office, her phone buzzed.
Nora's face lit up with joy. She quickly glanced at the caller ID, only to find it was Director Warren.
Her smile froze. She cleared her throat and answered the call.
"Hello, Director Warren..."
"Director Reed, I hope I'm not interrupting? I wanted to discuss something with you."
"Go ahead."
"Since our first episode aired, the response has been incredible. We've gained over a dozen new advertising slots. I was thinking, why not shake things up a bit? For example, filming an episode on location out of town. It would be a great treat for the audience and help us connect with the fans. What do you think?"
Nora thought for a moment. "That's a solid idea. Do you have any preliminary locations in mind?"
"I have a few options." Director Warren's tone grew more animated as he spoke. "Northampton, Chicago, and Hampton. I think all of them have great potential. What's your final call?"
Northampton...
Nora mindlessly spun a pen through her fingers.
Her mind was instantly flooded with the beautiful memories of her last trip to Northampton...
While she was distracted, Director Warren's voice chimed in again. "Director Reed? Are you still there?"
Nora quickly snapped back to reality. "Let's go with Northampton."
"Awesome! I'll get to arranging it. I'll email you the filming schedule and itinerary once it's finalized!"
Nora had been hoping to spend some quality time with Sienna in Northampton. She hadn't expected her to be gone.
"What's the matter?"
Sienna teased, "What? Has Mr. Lancaster finally let you off your leash? He's actually letting you wander around all by yourself?"
Nora chuckled at the joke, but as she recalled last night's events, her smile faded slightly. "Sienna, I have something to ask you..."
"Go ahead."
She carefully chose her words. "Well... if your boyfriend suddenly grew distant right after you talked to him about his first love... what would you think?"
"Depends on the guy." Sienna's tone turned a bit more serious. "If it's your ex-boyfriend, he's definitely cheating on you. But if it's Mr. Lancaster..."
"What about him?"
Sienna laughed softly. "Then he definitely has some unspeakable hardship and just doesn't want you to worry."
Nora's fingers tightened around her phone. "So you think he's hiding something from me too?"
