In the neighborhood where Cornelia rented. The houses looked old, all in vintage communities, but right downtown. From this area to the Reese family's mansion, the distance wasn't far. And there were fewer cars at night, so he could get there in less than half an hour.
The car stopped in front of the Reese family mansion. Natalia was hesitant to get out of the car. Austin waited for a while and said, "Ms. Reese, we're here."
Natalia looked helpless and said, "Austin, can you please make a U-turn up ahead before I get out?"
"Sure." Austin drove a bit further, made a U-turn at an intersection, and drove back to the front of the Reese family's home, "Ms. Reese, I need to go back and pick up Marc."
Austin didn't directly ask her to hurry up and get out of the car, but the implication was pretty much the same.
Natalia bit her lip and took a deep breath, "Austin, after I get out, can you roll down the rear window and wait a minute before leaving?"
"Sure, Ms. Reese." Austin didn't understand what she wanted to do.
But given that he had watched this girl grow up, he was willing to agree as long as her request wasn't too outrageous.
"Austin, thank you!" Natalia unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
After she got out, Natalia walked to the back of the car. She bent down, and pretended to chat with someone in the car.
After a while, Austin asked, "Ms. Reese, can I go now?"
Natalia smiled sweetly and waved at him, "Goodbye, Austin!"
"Goodbye!" As the car drove away, Austin watched her in the rearview mirror. He had driven some distance, but she was still waving at him. When did she become so polite?
