Sherman, who had lowered her head, heard Grace's words and replied, "Don't mention buying a car!" Sherman's salary was only sufficient to support herself. Buy a car? Forget it.
When chatting with Sherman, Grace suddenly screamed in a low voice, "Look who is there!"
Sheman was wondering who was there. Why Grace was so surprised? Raising her head in surprise, Sherman looked over in the same direction as Grace.
Not far away, a black car was parked in front of the flower bed. By the car was standing Kingsley, whom Sherman hadn't seen for a long time. He was in a black coat. And the corners of his coat were fluttering i n the cold wind.
Kingsley's back was wide and strong. He was leaning against the car door with his long legs crossed. With a cigarette in his mouth, he was clouded with the smoke in the yellow light from the streetlamp, which gave Sherman and Grace a special feeling.
Kingsley seemed to have noticed someone gazing at him. He narrowed his eyes in the smoke and looked over.
It had been twenty days since he met Sherman last time.
Sherman's heart couldn't help beating faster.
Sherman felt like a sculpture. But after coming back t o her senses, Sherman quickly became calm and looked away.
Grace was still staring at Kingsley. It was her first time to see Kingsley smoking. She got a bit carried away when staring at him, thinking that he was far too charismatic.
Sherman hadn't seen Kingsley smoke before either. Considering her relationship with Kingsley, she was not supposed to gaze at him for too long.
Grace pulled the car over and nudged Sherman, "Get off!"
Sherman didn't move, but said, "There is a garage inside. Drive in."
"I'm not here to deliver goods. I'll park it here. You can stay or you can get off. I'll get off anyway!" Saying that Grace opened the car door and got off.
