He wasn’t in a rush, but Curtis was practically on pins and needles.

With a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth, Curtis smoothly rose from his seat, gently coaxing everyone towards the exit.

The client’s assistant, clearly not as observant, chuckled, “We’ve still got three hours before takeoff.”

Curtis, with his ever-persuasive demeanor, insisted, “Stonebridge Airport’s as big as a small city. You better head out now. Have a safe trip.”

And just like that, the client was ushered away, bewildered.

Turning back, Curtis mused, “Is there a grocery store nearby? Need to pick up some ingredients for chicken soup.”

Caleb, a bit awkwardly, showed him the message on his phone.
