The man in the backseat was wearing an all-black coat. The hat on his head was almost covering his whole face, and with a mask on, his face was not visible at all.

Sophia spotted him at first glance and asked out of curiosity, “Hey, Linus. Is that your friend?”

“A friend from back home came to visit me. The haze in Bayside City is too severe. He can’t bear with it, so he’s leaving today.”

“Oh.” Sophia took out two red packets from her basket and weaved her hand through the gap of the passenger seat to give them to him.

“Happy New Year! Have a prosperous year!”

The man lifted his hat slightly and revealed his blue and deep-set eyes. It was obvious that he was from overseas.

The man reached forward to retrieve the red packets. “Thank you.”

He enunciated those two words clearly in a robust voice. There wasn’t a hint of an accent and he did not sound very old either.

He must be Linus’ relative!

Linus interjected, “We have to get going now. My friend’s flight is in the afternoon.”

 

With that, the car drove off. Sophia stared aimlessly as his car vanished into the distance.

Inside the car, Fass opened the red packets he had just received. There were eight one-hundred notes in each one along with a name card.

Printed on the front of the card were a name and the picture of the girl from before.

The girl had a beautiful smile and looked full of youthful energy.

Her name was Sophia Edwards.

Her position was the deputy general manager of some IT company.
