Change of plans and a suggestion to drive his car

My guy called me just after 13:00 on Friday. Now and again, he has to change our plans.

"Can we eat at the closer Chinese restaurant?" my guy asked me.
"Sure," I replied.
"I can meet you there," he stated.
"I thought that you would be parking at the office, and I'd drive us to the restaurant, followed by the airport?" I asked.
"I have a lot of bags. I don't think your car can store everything, so I will take a taxi and expense it," he replied.

I could have been disappointed about not saying goodbye to my guy at the airport, but I had a suggestion.

"I can drive you to the airport and drive your car," I said in a teasing manner.

Pure silence. Moments later, my guy could talk again.

"Um, thanks for the offer. But, I will take a taxi," he said.

We both laughed. Give me time and I will wear him down.
