William, did you forget you are supposed to come over today, we had this conversation yesterday.""Today?! Vanessa, I ... " William turned to see the distance between him and Catherine and even wondered if she could hear him, Catherine on the other hand was busy typing away on her computer while peeping into a file.

Vanessa asked through the speaker.William exhaled sharply as he brushed his hand over his face, "Vanessa can you reschedule?" He asked calmly." No! No William, we cannot reschedule!
