By the time they returned to A City, it was already morning.

Naturally, Tom drove the company Bentley back to the company.

Sue alighted from the car.

On the other side, Jean brought Bianca's luggage down from the trunk as he said, "I'll send you back home first so you can rest. Sleep well, and TH come find you at night."

Bianca nodded.

They pushed their luggage along as they said goodbye to Sue and Tom. After

that, they walked to the roadside and hailed a cab.

Jean was thinking he should go buy a car tomorrow.

It was too inconvenient without a car.

Bianca was both tired and sleepy. She had slept for slightly over two hours in the car last night, but sleeping in the car was by no means comfortable.

Before they could find a cab, Jean's phone rang.

"Let me pick this up." Jean looked at his phone and gave Bianca's a heads-up before accepting the call.

Bianca looked at him and saw that he was frowning. He said "okay" into the phone a few times before

adding, "Alright, I'll be there." "Is something the matter?" Bianca asked after he hung up.

"Yeah. Our team leader said all of us have to be there before lunch for a meeting. They want to strike while the iron is hot and discuss the next steps," Jean said, looking like he had a headache coming on. That was when a cab drove around the corner.

Bianca looked at the cab and took his luggage from him. "Go on, then. I can go back myself."

Jean felt really guilty. As her boyfriend, it was only natural for him to send his girlfriend home after she returned from an exhausting business trip. Yet now he had to eschew that responsibility because of his work.

Bianca got into the cab.

It began to drive slowly away.

Bianca drifted in and out of sleep.

After some time, the cabbie turned around and told Bianca in the backseat, "We're here."

Bianca opened her eyes and saw she was outside her neighborhood.

Clearing her mind, she got out of the car.

The cold was making her feel very uncomfortable.
