Summer looked at her time. It was 10 a. m. now. Less than 24 hours to go before tomorrow night. She was far from the airport. Moreover, it would take more than ten hours to travel on the plane. Even if she set off for the airport now, she might not be able to buy a ticket immediately. Leonard was clearly making things difficult for her.
Summer said angrily, "Do you think I have wings so I can fly back?"
Leonard did not say anything. His attitude was already very obvious. He did not care how Summer returned or whether she had wings. He only wanted her to return.
He was such an unreasonable man!
Summer said something more, but she didn't know if Leonard heard it or not. Finally, he only said, "I'll pick you up."
Hearing it, Summer was shocked. Leonard then continued, "I'm eating."
He was asking Summer to hang up.
Before Summer hung up the phone, she said to him, "I can handle it. You don't have to come."
After she hang up, she remembered that she had just said a bunch of nonsense to Leonard. She hadn't mentioned anything that mattered.
Summer put down her phone irritably and looked at the suitcase beside her.
Having stared at the suitcase for a while, she began to tidy up her belongings.
She had stayed here for a day, and she didn't have many things to pack up. She finished quickly.
If she left like this, would Connel really let her go?
If Connel would not stop Summer from leaving as Stanley said, she would believe Stanley was fine.
Having made up her mind, Summer dragged her suitcase out.
As soon as she went out, she met Jenny. Jenny held a tray in her hand, and there was a cup of coffee on it.
When she saw Summer, she smiled and said, "Ms. Summer."
Summer guessed that Jenny was serving the coffee to Connel and asked, "Where is Connel?"
"He's in the study." Jenny looked at the suitcase behind Summer and asked with a puzzled expression, "Ms. Summer, are you ... leaving?"
Summer did not answer Jenny and directly asked, "Where is the study? I have something to ask him."
Jenny saw that Summer did not have any intention of answering her, so she carried the tray and walked to the front. "Follow me."
Jenny took Summer to the door at the end of the corridor. She first knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
Summer followed behind Jenny and saw Connel sitting in front of a desk with a single glance.
Behind Connel was a large bookshelf. There were many original English hardcover books, some decorations, and some models. How could this be a chef's study? Moreover, Summer glanced over and saw books was about medicine. None of them about cooking.
Therefore, Connel's career as a hotel chef should only be a cover. In fact, he was probably the only one who knew what he was actually doing.
Jenny directly walked over and placed the coffee in front of Connel. "Mr. Connel, your coffee."
Connel saw Summer.
After putting down the coffee, Jenny went out and closed the door.
"What's the matter?" Connel asked her.
Summer said straightforwardly, "I want to leave and return to Hoover City."
