"You were almost five hundred meters away from him yet you could still smell his scent. Do you have the nose of a dog?" She felt a little tired and yawned.
"Get off my back!" Grace lifted her hands and patted her back gently. "Sleep if you’re tired. I'll wake you up when we reach the apartment."
Sherman nodded and reclined her seat before she shut her eyes and fell asleep. She was still sleeping until Billy called at three in the afternoon. He told her that they were going to a reunion dinner with their classmates, and he would go back to pick her up after he was done with work.
She hung up the phone and continued sleeping after giving him a quick response. It was already six when she woke up. The sky got dark earlier since it was already at the end of autumn, so it was already dark before it reached seven o'clock.
In fact, she had nothing much to prepare for before getting out of the house. She could not put makeup on, nor could she wear high heels. So, it was pretty convenient for her to go out.
Billy called at seven o’clock telling her that he was already parked in front of the apartment so she could get down.
Sherman took her bags and got down before getting into the car. Billy handed her a box of milk. "What did you do today?"
"Went with Grace for her makeup and sleep.” She was not very fond of the taste of pure milk but she drank it anyway. "Where is the reunion held tonight?"
"Amber Boulevard for dinner, and the pub after."
Amber Boulevard was a popular five-star restaurant i n Santabaca. Billy and Sherman were the last ones to arrive. The private room was already filled with people that were all in pairs.
"Why didn't you guys order?” Billy asked.
