Remembering that we had an appointment, I set an alarm clock for 3 p.m. But it was already half past 4 p.m. when I woke up. I did not hear the alarm clock, nor did I hear my phone ring when you called.
Please do let me know your schedule for next week so that I can invite you to our long-expected Michelin-starred restaurant. After that, we can see a movie together.
