The phone call came at an opportune time. I had planned to leave the event early, and was contemplating on my exit plan. How would I announce my early departure? Nobody would understand how I only attended the event for just an hour.
Everybody had joined the buffet, but since I had eaten lunch before leaving home, I was not hungry.
My friend teased,”Why did you eat lunch before attending a luncheon?’
I just smiled as no answer would have suffice.
As they were all eating, my phone rang.
“Ring…ring..”
That was a blessing, as I did not want to shout into the phone, I got up, heading to a quieter place which was out of the front gate, I continued chatting. THAT was my exit ticket!!
The burden of guilt stayed with me , so I sent a couple of messages to explain why I had to leave. The truth is, I had unexpected visitors waiting at home for me.
