Sophie Kenwick felt happy when she thought about how she’d soon be able to eat.
Her voice immediately pulled Xyla Quest out of her thoughts.
Xyla composed herself and gazed at Sophie. “Yeah, let’s go. Aren’t you hungry?”
Sophie nodded while she eagerly led Xyla outside. “Yes, I am starving.”
“I’m sorry, I was so distracted with work that I forgot about you,” Xyla said.
Sophie immediately shook her head. “It’s fine. I know you’re busy with work. It’s understandable.”
Xyla felt her heart swell with warmth when she heard her words of consideration.
By then, Gary had already opened the car doors to the passenger’s side as well as the backseat.
It was currently lunchtime, so employees from surrounding buildings had all walked outside.
When they noticed Gary, Xyla, and Sophie, they couldn’t resist staring at them, especially the women who stared at Gary in admiration.
Meanwhile, Gary cast a soft gaze upon Xyla and Sophie. “Get in.”
Xyla smiled before quickly getting into the backseat. “Thank you.”
At the same time, Sophie made her way onto the passenger’s seat.
Gary, taking a deep look at Xyla before closing the car doors for the two women, then took his seat behind the wheel and started the engine.
He turned his attention toward Sophie and then at Xyla. “What would you two like to eat?”
