'TH drive!" It typically took only half an hour to reach the airport from his place. Plus, the road was clear this time around, so it didn't take us long before we arrived at the airport.
Fortunately, there were not many people around. It was soon before we got our boarding passes and went through the security check. After boarding the plane, Sawyer asked the stewardess for a blanket and went back to sleep.
The flight from Ucrebury to Asherton took three hours. I had a short nap on the plane as well.
When I woke up, Sawyer was already staring at me as he said, "We'll head to the branch office first. Once we deal with things there, well head to the hotel to sleep."
That sounded awkward.
I didn't think too much about it. After that, I drowsily followed Sawyer and got off the plane. There was already a car sent by the branch company to pick us up. It was then a smooth journey to our next destination.
The branch company was also a subsidiary company under Roberts Group, its modus operandi and management style were similar to the latter. This branch company was headed by Director Hogan Hathaway, with whom we got to exchange a few polite greetings.
After that, we had several small meetings with the
branch company's finance department and other divisions. When they ended, Sawyer received some documents from the finance associates and left the company with me.
Staring at the pile of documents in his arms, I couldn't resist asking Sawyer, "Aren't you planning to work in the company?"
"It's inconvenient!" He said as he sorted out the documents. Then he looked at me and continued, "I've ordered a meal to be delivered directly to the hotel. Once you're done eating, you should get some rest."
His attention to details almost caught me off guard and I nodded gently.
The hotel had been booked in advance. Once we entered the hotel, the porter led us to our rooms and said, "Your meals have already arrived in this room. If you need anything else, feel free to give a call to the concierge."
I nodded to the porter before entering the room with Sawyer. Although we had booked two rooms, I didn't think it was necessary to eat separately since Sawyer had already ordered the meals.
After waking up in the wee hours of the morning into long hours of working and commuting, I was famished and exhausted.
