Three days later, at the university’s entrance.
Clarissa had a hand on her luggage as she peered around anxiously.
“Lisa isn’t going to be a no-show, is she?” she said to Rem as she checked her watch.
“Don’t worry, I called her when I left my dorm. She hasn’t forgotten.”
“The meeting starts at one o’ clock, and we’re going to take three and a half hours to get there by bus. It’ll probably be ten by the time we get to the bus station. It’s all my fault for not knowing how to drive!” Clarissa stomped her foot anxiously.
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of them.
“What are you doing?” The window rolled down, and a man’s voice rang out.
Rem had been feeling anxious as well, but she broke into a bright smile when she saw who it was.
“Oh, Professor Lawrence! We’re waiting for someone,” she said politely.
Clarissa turned around when she heard “Professor Lawrence”. Who else could it be but Damien?
Why did it sound so weird to address him that way, though?
Damien’s gaze flitted toward Clarissa’s luggage. “Where are you going?”
“We’re going to attend a financial summit in Genovia, sir. We’re going to take the bus there,” Rem explained.
“She’s finally here.” Clarissa was looking in the direction of the university. Lisa was jogging toward them with a huge suitcase.
“The three of you are going to Genovia?” Damien said. “Why don’t you go with me, then? I’m heading back to Genovia as well.”
Lisa finally ran up to them, trying to catch her breath.
Clarissa checked the time. It was already a quarter to ten. By the time they got to the bus station, it’d be ten thirty, and they still had to unpack at the hotel. They would definitely be late.
“Come on, let’s get in.”
Damien had just switched to a bigger Bentley, and the three of them had no problems getting in.
Lisa and Rem sat in the backseat, leaving Clarissa with no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.
