Tyrone’s phone screen lit up again, signaling another incoming message.
He was about to respond when Evelyn decided to speak up. “Mr. Blakely, I’d like to
propose a toast to you. Thank you for your care and support throughout the years. I am

further toasting.

Tyrone excused himself and walked to the corridor to answer the phone.
“Mr. Blakely, we have a flat tire. I have called the repair shop and asked them to deal with
it. Shall I get another car?”
After a moment’s pause, Tyrone replied, “No, you can head back. I’1L ask my wife to pick
me up after dinner.”
“Very well, sir.”

He noticed a new message from Sabrina, asking if he was still planning to go to karaoke.
Instead of replying through text, Tyrone decided to call her.

“Yes,”
“Okay. Don’t get drunk,” Sabrina reminded him, emphasizing what she had mentioned
during their previous chat.
“I won’t”
“Are you going to karaoke? When will you come back? Should I wait for you?”
“I won’t stay long. The driver had a flat tire. Will you pick me up after karaoke?”
