Lumma promptly took out her phone and accessed the official website of TOP to check tomorrow’s auction schedule. The auction was scheduled to begin at 8 o’clock in the evening, so flying over tomorrow noon would still be feasible.
Next, she checked the flights from Red Pine City to Coastal City for tomorrow. Both cities were bustling metropolises with an abundance of flights throughout the day.
Considering Adam’s flying habits, Lumma booked a 10 o’clock morning flight. This way, they would arrive in Coastal City with two hours to spare before lunch. “Mr. Hills, I’ve made a reservation for the 10 o’clock flight to Coastal City tomorrow.”
Adam’s sole focus was to take Lumma away from Red Pine City, avoiding the time when Lucas would return. He didn’t realize that a simple sentence from him could create such a ripple of events for Lumma. “You don’t need to prepare anything else. I’m just going to have a casual look. You can continue reading your book.”
“Understood.” Despite Adam’s statement, Lumma, being his assistant, couldn’t neglect making preparations in advance. Otherwise, if she arrived at the auction venue tomorrow and remained clueless about everything, her role as an assistant would lose its purpose.
“Adam, are you and Lumma going to Coastal City for the auction?” Judy noticed their conversation and finally lifted her head from the comic book. “I don’t have much going on lately. Can I join you?”
“If you behave well, I might consider it.” Adam gestured to Judy, thinking that his intention was clear. However, Judy was completely perplexed. “Adam, what do you want me to do?”
Adam replied, “Aren’t you hungry?”
Judy hadn’t felt hungry until Adam mentioned it, but as soon as he did, her stomach growled. “I think I am hungry. Let’s grab a bite first.”
Lost in her book and studies, Lumma had completely lost track of time. When she finally checked, it was already half-past twelve. “Mr. Hills, I should take my leave now. I’ll see you at the airport tomorrow morning.”
“Should I have the driver take you?” Adam didn’t explicitly ask Lumma to stay, but he subtly exchanged a glance with Judy. Judy instantly understood his intention.
Judy hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Lumma’s arm. “Lumma, it’s mealtime. Why are you leaving? We’re going to Coastal City together tomorrow. Stay here tonight, and we can conveniently leave for the airport together.”
