When it was time to leave work, it was already very late. It got dark very early in winter. She worked overtime for a while. It was already dark outside the window at half past six.
After stretching, Sherman picked up her coat, put it o n, and walked out of the company. The snow had stopped, but it was colder and colder.
When Sherman got out of the company building, she felt the chilling wind, and then she wrapped her coat around herself tightly.
At lunchtime, she received a text message from Kingsley. He said he had something to do in the evening and couldn't pick her up and send her back to her apartment, so he told her to be careful on her way home.
They hadn't known each other for long, but she knew his routine well. If he was busy, he would ask Lee to pick her up. If Lee didn't come, he must be very busy.
She took out her phone, searched for his text message with her frozen red hand, and replied, "Remember to have dinner. It is too cold. Keep warm. Don't catch a cold..."
After hesitating for a long time, she finally added the word "Kingsley" at the end...
Just by adding his name to the text message, Sherman's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate...
Sherman suddenly realized her reaction and fell silent. She thought that she was becoming more and more abnormal.
In the private room.
Kingsley wore a black coat and crossed his long legs. There was a cup of hot coffee in front of him. There were also some men in the room.
The phone vibrated. He took his phone out of the pocket of his suit pants with his big and slender hand and tapped it on. He looked gentle, with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
Then he stood up, "Sorry. I have something to do and have to leave."
