After lunch, Beryl left the hospital and headed to school. Standing under the bus stop sign, she didn't notice that her phone was in silent mode and didn't pay attention to it.
Ten minutes later, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped by the roadside. At first, she didn't pay much attention until the car window rolled down, revealing an extremely familiar face.
Wasn't this the manager from Red Cauldron?
Beryl was a little surprised. "Hello, Sir."
"Miss. Juliet, Mr. Perkins asked me to pick you up. Please get in the car," the manager said, smiling politely and amiably toward her.
There were already cars honking behind them, and Beryl didn't have time to ask more questions. She quickly opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
The car started again, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you know I was here?"
The manager felt somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Perkins told me you have a class at 1:30 pm and instructed me to come and take you. I was originally waiting at the back entrance, but since I didn't see you for a long time and couldn't reach you on the phone, I came to the main entrance."
Beryl quickly took out her phone and saw several missed calls on the screen.
She hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, so I didn't check my phone."
"It's okay, and it's not a problem." The manager couldn't bear her apology and said repeatedly, "I'm just glad I could reach you. I was afraid I might end up in the wrong place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Beryl's phone screen lit up again, and she answered the call and put the phone to her ear, "Hello?"
Did he intentionally schedule his call like this?
Beryl picked up the phone and put it next to her ear. "Hello?"
