It was hard to hail a cab around here, and with the resort being so far away from here, even if I managed to get a cab, the driver might not want to take me there either.
I knew that I shouldn’t be stubborn during emergency times like this, so I looked at Keith and said, "Thanks."
You're welcome, Mrs. Grant.
I waited at the gate. When Keith drove the car out from the next door, I opened the front passenger door.
Seeing a lot of items placed on the seat, Keith said a little awkwardly, "Why don't you sit at the back, Mrs. Grant? We have a lot more files these days and they can't fit i n the trunk. That's why they're all placed o n the front seat."
I nodded. "Sure."
Although it was awkward to be with Theo a t the back, there was no other way.
When the car started, Keith probably felt that it was too quiet in the car and wanted t o liven the mood up a little. Hence, he started talking to me. "Mrs. Grant, do you know that things have gone missing in the research institute?"
I nodded. "Gaily called me this morning
and told me.
