But just as the car started, Clarence came over and knocked on the window. He politely handed Martin Fernandez's business card to Charlotte Allison, and then offered his own, telling her she could contact Martin or him directly if needed.
Feeling Paula's previously withdrawn hostility resurface, Charlotte only accepted Martin Fernandez's business card and not Clarence's.
Paula, eager to make Clarence disappear from sight, sped away from the café.
At almost six in the afternoon, Charlotte Allison and Paula left the Country Y Hotel and drove towards the restaurant address Lucas Quinn sent.
That evening they were to have dinner with Mr. Ross. Lucas has informed Charlotte around lunchtime that his matters were too intricate for him to pick her up, so she would have to go to the restaurant by herself.
