"Oh no, Mr. Lowell is throwing a tantrum again."
Sisley's face turned green.
Minerva paused for a moment before tilting her head to look at Vera. Suddenly, she said, "Hide first."
"What is it?"
Before Vera could react, she was dragged by Minerva to a corner. As soon as Sisley saw this, she reacted immediately and went into hiding with them.
She gazed at Minerva with admiration. "How amazing you are! You can actually read Zachary's thoughts."
"What are you thinking about?" Vera, who was pulled to the corner for no reason, looked confused. She was oblivious of the situation.
When a person was down and out, he definitely disliked to be noticed by others.
Zachary, who appeared to be aloof and cold, seemed to be egotistical and prideful.
How could such a person allow others to see him in such a manner?
Their appearance would only embarrass him.
As Minerva thought of this, she pursed her lips. "Since he's alright, let's go back to the company."
Vera was rendered speechless for a brief moment. "Are we going back now? But we haven't seen him yet."
Minerva smiled faintly. "We have to work overtime tonight. Time is running out. Let's make a move first."
"Well, it's your call."
Sisley did not stop them when the two of them were about to leave. Instead, she thanked Minerva gratefully.
"Thank you, you are really kind. Be careful on your way back. Remember to go to the hospital to treat the wounds one more time."
"Okay, I will."
When they came out of the slum area together, they were surprised to see a taxi parked there.
Alberg stuck his head out of the car when he heard their footsteps.
"You finally came out."
Minerva and Vera looked at each other in dismay.
They felt familiar about it.
It was the same as the time they went to the filming site to find Yvonne.
Wasn't it true that all North City drivers were of such superior quality?
"Are you alright? I thought it was too dangerous for you two girls to go in, so I waited for a while here. I planned to call the police if you did not come out."
After that, Alberg touched his head and smiled with embarrassment.
"But now it seems that I'm a little meddlesome. I'm... It's just that I still feel suspicious even though nothing has happened. How could I simply stand by if you girls got into trouble?"
Minerva walked up and thanked Alberg sincerely.
"Thank you. We are fine. Could you please send us back to the previous spot?"
"Okay, get in the car."
The two of them got into Alberg's car and went back to the company. Just as they were about to get out of his car, Minerva asked Alberg for his business card and entered the company.
"The driver we met recently is so kind. I used to see some news about murders on the Internet, which gave me goosebumps. I didn't expect... Good people still exist these days."
As soon as Minerva heard this, she gave a halfsmile. "In life, we may be in luck or it might be the other way round and we would encounter misfortunes. Nonetheless, there's a ray of sunshine in darkness. This kind of thing... most of the time, it depends on luck."
It was late when they entered the company. Minerva went to the cafeteria to eat something. Unfortunately, she discovered that her hands were in so much pain to the point that she was unable to hold the cutlery. In the end, she could not eat anything.
