When Gu Ning rushed to the North Gate, it was exactly eight o'clock.
By this time, all the Beastmen who were supposed to be at work had already arrived. Only a few Beastmen carrying materials were going in and out of the gate.
From a distance, she saw Alex leaning against the main gate. His orange and white work uniform really stood out, so Gu Ning spotted him immediately.
He had his arms crossed, his eyes closed, and his head slightly lowered, as if he were resting.
Gu Ning checked the time. Over forty minutes had passed since he'd called her. 'Has he been waiting for a long time?'
She was Alex's assistant now. 'Will being late hold him up? Will he yell at me?' She walked toward him, feeling a little anxious.
As soon as Gu Ning got close, Alex sensed her presence. He opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
Gu Ning's steps faltered. She hunched her shoulders and walked to his side.
