I was speechless again. Arally, I was more worried now. But at this point, I couldn’t exactly toss her out of the car.
Before long, we met Darrell He looked just like his photo–charming, sophisticated, tall, and definitely the type Holly liked. She winked at me and mouthed a “thank you” I panicked a little, unsure of exactly what she was thanking me for Hello, Ms. Moreno, Ms. Janenez, Darrell greeted us with a handshake.
“Hello. Mr. Vance, long time no see? I said with a polite umile.
“Yes, it’s been almost two years since we last met at the international exhibition, he replied with a grin. “How have you been?”
