Zenobia's house was being packed up at lightning speed.
In just one night, everything that needed to be packed was ready to go.
Wayne had changed into a set of black casual clothes, and Zenobia had also helped him put on a baseball cap and a face mask.
"Alan, it might get a bit stuffy. We can take off your mask once we're on the boat," Zenobia told Wayne, her voice involuntarily softening.
"Well," Wayne responded, sounding a bit out of it.
He didn't sleep well the night before. A blurry nightmare had kept him up, and waking up, he felt totally wiped out.
Suddenly, it got really noisy outside.
Zenobia frowned, "Didn't those people already take the money? Why are they back? Wait here, I'll go check what's up."
Wayne didn't respond.
Zenobia hurried downstairs.
She expected to see another argument.
However...
"Zenobia, you're on the island too!" A plump middle-aged woman, dressed to the nines and with a trendy hairstyle, extended her arms when she saw Zenobia, deliberately showing off a huge diamond ring on her hand.
"Are you McGill’s wife? Why are you back?" Zenobia was taken aback.
The McGill family was the first to leave the island for the big city and their business was thriving. Everyone who stayed behind envied them.
Didn't they come asking for money yesterday for the same reason?
