Isabel’s itinerary for the day was filled out.

After shooting a scene before noon, she rushed to the studio for an appearance on a variety show.

It was midnight by the time she got home.

Her stomach was growling.

Just as the car was about to pull into her apartment complex, she called after the driver, "Stop."

The driver stopped the car.

Carla stifled a yawn and asked, "Isabel, what's wrong?"

"I should go with you, it’s so late already."

"There are police patrols in the area, I'll be fine.Don’t worry."
