Dylan hadn't contacted Larissa ever since the kidnapping incident. She found it strange and decided to check the guest room, only to find out that he had already checked out. Without his proactive contact, she had lost the opportunity to inquire about the progress of the case.
She had been diligently following the news for a few days but hadn't come across any relevant information. Perhaps this was the best outcome she could hope for, looking at it from a different perspective.
…
She was supposed to go to the airport to pick someone up at noon, but her meeting had been delayed, causing her to be nearly half an hour late. She hurriedly sent a message to the person, explaining her situation, and rushed off.
As she reached the lobby, she nearly bumped into Gary, who had just returned from outside.
He was dressed in a formal dark suit. She apologized and asked, "Were you out for business?"
He nodded in response. "I had a meeting with Mr. Leon from Soaring Corporation this morning, but we haven't reached an agreement yet." He noticed Larissa was in a hurry and became somewhat curious. "Why are you in such a rush?"
"I'm heading to the airport to meet a client." She glanced at her watch. "The meeting ran late, and I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
"Lewis will give you a ride. He happens to be heading to the airport too." Gary signaled Lewis with his eyes, and Lewis immediately responded, "Ms. Seymour, my car is parked at the entrance."
During this period, Larissa had been relying on public transportation and hadn't been driving herself. Contacting a driver now would only mean more waiting time, and it wasn't easy to hail a taxi at this hour. So, she accepted Gary's offer.
"Thank you, Lewis." She smiled at him.
