When Amy was in a daze, she was held into the cave. As soon as she went in, a lightning bolt struck down. Then came the heavy rain.
"Why did you follow me?" Amy didn't need to look back and knew who was holding her inside. She recognized the familiar smell and she knew it must be Richard.
"Miss Newell, please watch your mouth. I didn't follow you. I was just chasing rabbits around here, and I got here by accident." Richard let go of her and walked into the cave. It was dry, but it smelled like a rabbit warren.
Hearing what Richard said, Amy didn't answer back. She didn't want to argue with him. She would just stay here and take shelter from the rain. Before the rain stopped, nothing would happen between them. They just cooperated with each other.
Amy found a place to sit down. It was raining heavily outside and the gust of wind blew up the grass in the midair. Should she invest in this place? The weather was too strange?
"Mr. Carter, I think the weather is a big problem for our investment. Visitors will hold back if they encounter such weather." Amy didn't look back. She just stared at the rain.
Lately, every time she met Richard, there would be heavy rain.
"The rain here is not casual. There are no buildings to shelter from the rain. And the rain in the mountains will not last long. I estimate it will stop in half an hour. When the rain stops, you will see totally different scenery. If we're in good luck, we can see the brilliant scenery after the rain." Richard opened his bag. He had got a lot of stuff in his backpack.
"Though the cave is dry, there are bugs or something like that. Your skin is prone to be stung. Take a seat inside. It's cold at the entrance." Richard laid a soft cushion for Amy.
Amy looked back at the thick cushion, which looked so warm, and she knew it must be very comfortable to sit there, but she didn't get up immediately.
"I don't have any evil idea. We're here for the cooperation and I don't want you to get sick. We still have to discuss the project," said Richard with a straight face.
"Yes, we are just for the cooperation and nothing else. If I get sick, the project will be postponed," thought Amy.
Amy got up, walked over to the cushion Richard had laid and sat down. It was comfortable.
"Here is warm water. I know you brought mineral water, but some warm ginger water will keep you warm." Richard gave Amy a thermos.
Amy took a sip. The sweet brown sugar and the spicy ginger immediately warmed her up.
She looked up at Richard and felt that he was very careful. He had got all things ready. Did he know that it would be raining today?
"Finish it, I have more." Richard didn't sleep at noon as he needed to get these things ready. He knew the weather in the mountains would be variable, so he had to get everything ready.
