Summer glanced at him and frowned after checking the time.
She needed to go to work, but she could not lock the door unless he left. That meant she had to wait for him.
Mark could see her in his peripheral vision. His brows turned up along with his lips as he ate at a slow pace.
He pecked at the food, a little at a time, as if he was enjoying it. He knew her weaknesses.
When Summer’s expression started to change, he started to feel less upset.
He could bear with her anger, but he did not like that distant look on her face.
Summer checked the time again. It was 7:00 am, and she needed to be in school at 7:20 am. So she had only 20 minutes left.
It usually took about eighteen minutes to walk from where she lived to the school, and she had to sign in a t the school every time. She knew she would be late if she did not head out now.
But Mark did not seem like he was going to leave. He was still enjoying his breakfast at a slow pace.
Summer furrowed her brows again. She remained silent but glanced at him a few times from behind and then headed out.
The landlady was drying clothes outside when Summer came up to her. "Good morning, ma'am,” Summer greeted.
"Good morning, Miss Hart. Can I help you?"
"Yeah, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"I have to rush out to work, but someone is still in the house. Could you please lock the door for me after he left?"
