Sitting quietly at the table, Sherman was so focused with a pen and paper in her hand that she did not even notice Billy coming in.
She was wearing a black coat with a fur collar. Her hair was tied back casually and her cheeks were fair and glowing.
Billy's eyes moved. Then he sat down at the table and drank water, waiting for the dishes to be served.
It was very quiet and peaceful in the private room ...
It was already half an hour later when four dishes were served, and there were still six dishes to be served.
"How about dining together?" Billy asked.
Sherman refused him without taking a look at Billy.
Billy raised his eyebrows, and then he enjoyed the dishes slowly, thinking the dishes were delicious.
Ten minutes later, Sherman, who had been silent, raised her head.
She put the files on the table. "I have marked out the points and details that need discussion. Check them tonight, and we will talk about them tomorrow."
While speaking, Sherman stood up and began to pack
up her bag.
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Billy stared at her," We have agreed to talk about it today, why do you leave it to tomorrow?"
"Your dinner is expected to take a long time, and I just can't keep waiting here. Besides, I'm already off work now." After saying that, she was about to walk out of the private room.
"It's snowing outside. Let me drive you home." Billy also stood up.
Sherman did not turn around. She refused him directly, "My boyfriend will come over to pick me up."
Narrowing his eyes, Billy paused. And after he came back to his senses, he followed her out.
Through the glass door of the hall, Billy saw that Sherman was standing on the staircase.
The man in a black coat was standing at the bottom of the staircase in front of Sherman. He was helping her wear gloves.
In this direction, Billy happened to see that Sherman's face was pink, and they walked to the car hand in hand.
From the beginning to the end, Sherman did not even look back...
When the silver Mulsanne disappeared from the view, Billy turned around and walked back to the private room. Irritated and depressed, Billy thought none of these dishes at the table were to his liking.
In the car.
It was still snowing, so it was very cold outside. Sherman turned to look at the man beside her, "Where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" Kingsley turned up the heating and asked.
