Novel & Cerita We Can't Keep Meeting Like This

Nothing will ever happen naturally if we don’t spend time together. “For what?” “For backing out last night. Husbands and wives have lunch together…” “I have meetings all day,” he says. “Surely you can cancel one.” “I don’t cancel meetings.” “So, this month is not happening? Clearly you can’t include me in your life.” I shake my head. “I’m not walking away from the month,” he says. “I just have to do it my way.” I turn to leave. “Your way is looking like it will never happen. It’s just excuse after excuse.”

I felt angry and frustrated at the same time, but I couldn’t do anything at the moment. “Can we have this meeting another time? Your presence has obviously thrown everyone speechless. I think it is better we schedule this meeting for another day.” This was the only thing I could come up with, and I know that he’s not going to refuse this particular thing that I said because we definitely need another mission to conclude our decision. Before the next meeting, I must have a week to make this partnership work because if it doesn't, I will be in a very big mess.

Cass: “Never. Someone has to keep him from aging ten years ahead of schedule. And I live to annoy him.” I shake my head, a sigh slipping out. The banter feels normal. Too normal. Like nothing exploded between us. Like none of us were ripped to shreds in the process. I set the phone down on the couch beside me before I get pulled too deep into it. Because in ten minutes, I have a meeting.

This is what I need. But then she pushes gently against my chest. “Jalen… we have to stop.” I shake my head, leaning my forehead to hers. “We have to stop,” she whispers again. “Not until everything is finalized. Not until you’re done. Then… we can revisit this. But right now? We can’t keep doing this. And I mean it.” I nod slowly. “Okay. Monday I have a big meeting with Michael. Hopefully everything goes right. I’ll let you know.”

“This is all your fault, she thinks that we are fighting.” “If you didn't call me crazy, Erus, this wouldn't have happened.” i whispers harshly. She goes back to angrily chopping up the chilli peppers for whatever it is that she is cooking. “The meeting happens once every two months and the next one is in four weeks.” He says. “I will send a vehicle to pick both of you on the day, and you won't have an excuse because I will text you plenty of times to remind you.” “And what if I refuse to go?”

"That's what I wanted to say! Well, we've met today, so let's count this as our official meeting for this week. We met on Thursday, Friday and today's Saturday. Our meeting is once a week, mister!" "I don't think so." He uttered and paused for a bit while Sapphire glared at him like an idiot. "We have to meet more often than once a week. It's not based on the frequency of our meeting. What's important is establishing and maintaining some regularity. Since I'm the only guy you're dating. I wouldn't want you to be home alone, and crying at night like most girls do. Perhaps, your missed calls wouldn't let me stay away from you, whatever! It's a bit stuffy in here, let's go outside for a stroll.

I exhaled deeply, “I said fucking cancel it, are you deaf?” He took a deep breath before speaking up, “Do I need to remind you how important this meeting is. And that it’s not something we could simply cancel. Not just that, it took me a lot to be able to find a way through shifting the time, and now you want it to be canceled. Do I also need to remind you that we are dealing with international agencies and business partners, and we could lose millions from this?” None of them reached a single drop of Rory’s life, so I repeated, “I don't care, Christian. Cancel the meeting.”

The secondary bond purred with contentment the entire time. "I've been thinking," Jason said as we prepared to leave. "We should schedule regular meetings. The bond gets painful when we go too long without contact." I hesitated. Kyle would hate it. But Jason was right. Waiting until the pain became unbearable wasn't healthy for anyone. "How often?" I asked. "Twice a week? Tuesdays and Fridays?" "That sounds reasonable." "Good." Jason smiled, and something warm flickered in his eyes. "I'll see you Tuesday then."

"What? Anything the matter." "Nothing really." Tyler scratched his head. "It's just that we barely see Nora or Robert. Yeah, we saw them yesterday, but aside that..." My eyebrows furrowed. "Why do you barely see them? Don't you guys have compulsory monthly meetings with that impostor?" "I am afraid no," Stuart chipped in. "A few years ago, the meetings became less frequent on the basis of the Alpha's... I mean, the impostor's busy schedule. Most of the reports were sent via email and discussions were done via Zoom. As a result, the elders rarely gather together or meet up one-on-one."
