Unexpectedly, Marcellus said, "Don't hang up."
"Huh?" She blinked in a panic, but her heart suddenly beat faster. "Is it convenient for you?"
"I am fine."
Just like that, the two of them held their phones and continue to chat. They did not hang up on each other along the way. Most of the time, it was Beryl who was talking and the man was just listening quietly.
She suddenly felt that the way they got along with each other seemed to have changed. In the past, he used to pester her all the time, and there were a lot of things for her to talk to him.
At that time, she only felt that he was thick-skinned. But now, she realized that it was very difficult to create a topic, especially when she felt that he didn't want to talk.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the dormitory.
"I'm here." The man's deep voice came through the microphone. Beryl had been sitting at the stairs on the first floor. When she heard his voice, she immediately got up and walked out.
The dormitory door was closed. As long as she swiped her card and left, she would not be able to enter tonight.
She gritted her teeth and walked out.
Under the dark night sky, a black Maybach parked on the side of the road not far away with its headlights on. She trotted all the way in the bright light and breathed a sigh of relief when she opened the back door and got in the car.
Before she could say anything, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she smelled the obvious smell of alcohol from him. "Did you drink?"
"Yes, I have a social engagement tonight."
