I even stayed up late and got up early to meet the deadline. I also turned off the notifications to just concentrate on completing my task. On that day, she called me many times, but I didn't pick up. In the evening, when I came back home and checked my notifications on my phone, I saw a lot of missed calls from her. So I was really worried and called her back to apologize for my mistake. But she was really upset and didn't believe me. She was worried that something had happened to me. I felt extremely guilty and promised to meet her next time after arranging my work and making it up to her. Thankfully, she is a kind person, so our relationship is even better now.
