Linda was quiet throughout the journey.
On the one hand, she was engaged and going to marry Charles. He was the love of her life, so she didn't want to get close to other men, especially Robert.
On the other hand, since she didn't sleep well last night, Linda was drowsy. She leaned her head against the window and soon, fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found a coat covering her.
Groggy from waking up, she was confused as to who's jacket it was.
When her mind cleared up, she remembered seeing Robert wearing the coat when he greeted them that morning.
"Robert..."
Linda turned to Robert and called him in a soft voice. Then, she took off the coat and held it in her hand. She planned to give it back to him.
Robert turned to her and smiled, "It's okay. There is a slight chill in the air. Keep yourself warm with it.
I'm fine." Linda just looked at him.
"Don't get me wrong. I just don't want you to catch cold." Robert continued speaking when he saw that Linda was still quiet and her arm stretched out to give him the coat.
Linda had no other option, so she folded the coat neatly and placed it on her lap. She instantly regretted why she didn't sit with Bun.
She remained silent, as the coach trudged on.
Her mind wandered to Charles and she began to worry. She wondered why Charles didn't answer her phone call and why he did not come home.
On top of that, she wondered why he didn't come to say goodbye to her. Did something happen? Linda thought, immediately shaking her head to banish away the thought.
No. He is okay It's just work. She muttered to herself.
Paul did say the other day, that Charles would be busy. She thought, managing to comfort herself. To distract herself, she fished out her phone and browsed the internet for news. She indeed saw many reports talking about the entertainment company of the Mu Group which recently recruited many stars including international super star Sophia Liu.
It must cost Charles a lot of money to build such a partnership with international super stars.
No wonder he is busy. Linda understood now. But something nagged at her.
Linda thought that there was something weird, since he was only signing contracts with female super stars. Jelousy crept up on her.
She decided that Charles and she deserved a weekend away together, just the two of them.
