Vincenzo called.

“Where have you been? We haven’t seen you for ages.”

“I’ve been very busy with this new job Vincenzo.”

“Ahh! Too busy to see the customer, I see. You should slow down to speed up.”

“I should think so.”

“I’ll be there.”

“I’ll reserve you a table for two.”

“But…”

Vincenzo had hung up.
