Luke frowned in a fret, his veins throbbing as he muttered a curse.
"Damn! How could a stupid birthday dinner take so long?"
Unable to sleep or sit still, he pulled over the clothes on the bed, quickly put them on, took the phone, and left the room.
Eileen stayed at Ruben's place until late because she helped him clean up the room.
After that, she watched the clock and found it was past eleven p.m. It was late.
Ruben went to get his car to drive them home.
Brad had fallen asleep.
Afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, Eileen carried him to the back seat.
She bent over, taking off his shoes.
She then took the blanket and covered him with it gently so as not to wake him.
They were silent all the way in the car. No one spoke. Only the sound of light breathing could be heard.
A few minutes later, the car arrived outside the apartment.
Eileen was about to pick up Brad when Ruben got out of the driver's seat and came over. "Let me help you."
"Thanks."
Eileen leaned back so that he could pick up Brad.
They got out of the car. Ruben and Eileen walked forward side by side.
Therefore, they didn't notice a black Bentley parked in the dark. The car door was opened.
The man in a suit came out, following behind them as quietly as a thief.
"How do you feel about me?"
While walking forward, Ruben asked Eileen.
