She felt slightly guilty for surprising him. It was not her intention. She only stood on the side as not to disturb him or eavesdrop on his conversation.
"Not long," Dani assured him, moving from his side to the front of the table.
Gerald quickly stood from his seat to offer her one. "Will you join me for lunch?" Pulling a chair for her beside him.
He quickly set aside his musing as he attended to her. He would not mind eating another meal if she joined him. He could not let an opportunity like this pass by.
However, his mind still would not stop thinking if she had seen him dining with his friend, Mike. But if she had just arrived a few minutes ago, she might not have seen him.
"Actually, I am here to invite you to join us." She pointed at the table not far away from where she stood. "I am having lunch with my husband and a friend when I notice that you are alone."
Thanks again.
