Joyce walked straight to the end of the aisle and gently pushed open the door of the box.
The dim light, the quiet environment, it was as if she was now traveling back in time when she went through the door.
Garrett was already sitting inside waiting.
She subconsciously glanced at her watch, 6:50. Luckily, she wasn't late. It was Garrett who had arrived early.
The dining table was placed under a set of small chandeliers, and the yellowish glow on the porcelain white tableware made the atmosphere particularly soft.
Garrett looked up slowly, saw Joyce approaching, and offered to speak, "There you are."
"Mr. Henderson." Joyce bowed politely, then took a seat across from Garrett.
When she saw Garrett again today, she did feel somewhat surprised. Garrett had obviously aged a lot. It was just over two years, and it was as if it had been decades in his face.
Once he was so young and there was only contempt in his hawk-like stern eyes and now his forehead was full of wrinkles, his cheeks were saggy, and his eyes were dim. The past arrogance was nowhere to be found in his body. There were only the endless vicissitudes.
Joyce couldn't help but be amazed at what had happened to Garrett. It made him look so much older.
