The sky outside the villa was gradually darkening; it was already evening when she arrived, and now it was completely dark.
Shi Su got up to leave, Yi City stopped her: "Won't you stay for dinner before you go?"
"No, thanks."
Seeing her rise, Yi City stood up simultaneously and looked outside: "I have a meeting here tonight, so I can't leave just yet. Shall I have my car take you back downtown?"
Shi Su glanced at the time and then at the car situation outside. This place wasn't easy to catch a cab, and calling a ride-hailing car might also take a long time, so she didn't refuse.
Yi City escorted her to the front of the villa, just about to accompany her to the car, when a foreigner in a suit approached, speaking to him in American English. Shi Su turned back and said, "You go ahead, I'll get in the car by myself."
With that, she didn't plan to wait for him and walked straight outside towards the Mercedes SUV parked there.
