Am I naive or not just easily swayed? Part 4

While in the shower, a call came in and it was from Daniel. Said he wouldn't be around and that he had some engagement but would try coming in the evening. After the call, I felt relieved I didn't know why but I had mixed feelings. For some reasons I was happy not to see him at work since we are now dating for other reasons I was missing him already and wanted to see him.I was busy with my work and later decided to check on him. I called him and his voice sounded calm and and in a different tone almost like a mere friend and not the regular Daniel I know."Is everything okay with you, I just wanted to know how your day was going?" I asked."Well it's going fine what can I say. I've been so busy throughout today and I told you. Yeah, I will try coming around later in the evening" He said sounding dismissive."Why are you sounding like something is wrong? Is everything fine? "Chichi, I am fine nothing is wrong. Just woke up and trying to still finish one or two before the day is over" He said. His voice alone contributed to what made me fall in love. I was missing him badly and the thought of seeing him struck me but then...."Babe, I miss you so much.""I know you would...well I will come around later so we talk better okay? I will hang up now. Well, he did hang up and that was disrespectful though. I started overthinking why didn't he sound like his usual self. At least we are dating and things should even be much better than before. He sent me a message on Whatsapp."I miss you so much babe. I will try to wrap things up and come see you soon. Don't forget I love you and you are my number one priority and will always be." I wanted to ask him some questions but decided to just observe and not be quick to jump into conclusions. Well what actually happened looked suspicious. What if he wasn't busy? Was he with somebody else I mean he didn't sound affectionate on phone but through text...Past 7, I was sitting and talking to a customer who was making a complain."You told me this aloe vera gel works so well and gives radiant glow and even help fade dark spots but rather it's making me dark and now my face looks so rough and it's been 2 weeks since I started using it." She complained almost shouting at the top of her voice.She's actually a problematic customer who's almost had issues with everybody she patronizes. She loves to argue and always believe she's right and then tries to make her claims on the saying that "customers are always right.""Ma, like I said earlier most of our customers using aloe vera gel have seen good results and always come back to restock. It works for majority but I guess it might be making you dark for some reasons. Maybe you should consider changing to another face cream then we can maybe watch it for a week or two to see if there's any change. Also I will recommend a face cleanser and with the right application, I believe it would birth better results ma. I would also like to recommend..." Daniel walked in smiling at me. He blew me a kiss and was about to make a fuss and I used my hands to shush him up that I was on the phone with a customer. He used his hands to zip his mouth and sat down like an obedient child.'Yes ma... alright ma...and you too Ma." He didn't even wait for the call to end and he took my hands and said we needed to go out."This night?""Yes baby. Is there something wrong with that?""Nothing is wrong actually I mean we didn't even plan anything and as you know, I can't leave work even though my mum is not around at the moment. You should know better by now." He looked like he wanted to spend some alone time with me that night but that craving? I wasn't having it. There was something suspicious about it well I can't tell if I was overthinking already. He smiled and hugged me. Told this dude I hated PDA but then he whispered in my ear that nobody was there so...we later agreed to go out the next day and spend some time at this park I fantasize. I picked where we would spend some time but I didn't know how I would get to go out. What sort of excuse was I going to bring up that would be convincing enough and believable to my mum? I made it a home fun.
