At the last minute, Melody Thorne wanted to change her mind, but she couldn't avoid going inside. Kiki Sutton was still waiting in there.
"Don't worry," Jared Quinn's eyes were firm, giving her reassurance. "Trust me."
Melody Thorne's phone vibrated, it was Hans Montrose calling.
"What? Still not getting out of the car?" Hans Montrose had already seen their car through the worn-out window, his charming peach blossom eyes darkened completely.
"Understood," Melody Thorne hung up the phone.
"Let's get out," Jared Quinn took her hand and led her inside, ensuring she always stayed behind him as they walked. In this way, Jared Quinn was like a towering tree, shielding her from wind and rain.
