As she walked out of the café, it was unknowingly close to dusk outside.
The breeze brushed against her face, making her feel a bit chilly. Charlotte Thompson tidied up the stray hairs by her temples, and just then, her phone in her pocket rang.
It was Justin Battleson calling.
"Where are you?"
Charlotte couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but Justin's voice sounded somewhat deep.
"Just about to head back." Charlotte glanced at the time on her phone and answered softly.
"Give me the address, I'll come pick you up."
Charlotte looked around and didn't refuse Justin, so she told him her location.
After hanging up, Charlotte stood by the roadside and saw a café not far away. Thinking Justin would take some time to arrive from the company, she planned to go there to buy a cup of coffee.
But Charlotte didn't expect that just as she was about to go, a black sedan stopped in front of her.
When the car window lowered, revealing Justin's face, Charlotte blinked in surprise.
