She answered, “Harold?”
“Belinda, something urgent cup, and | can’t make it to lunch this time. You and Lucas will have to manage
without me,” Harold said.
Harold's words left Belinda feeling a touch of resignation. “Alright,” she replied softly.
Once the call ended, she stepped inside. She then said to Lucas, “Harold is caught up and can’t join us. He wants
us to eat without him.”

Belinda offered them a brief, indifferent look before shifting her attention away and heading back to the private
room.
