Ashlynn saw the face under the umbrella, walking toward her. She was so frightened that she backed away and bumped her back against the tree behind her.

"What a coincidence," Corentin said.

"Hello, Mr. Lloyd..." Ashlynn's eyes flickered.

Corentin glanced at the tree behind her, raised the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Don't you know that you can't stand under a tree when it's raining?"

Ashlynn noticed that his polite smile was different from Salvatore's evil smile. She said, "I didn't see any lightning. I was just taking shelter temporarily."

"Get in the car. I'll see you off."

Ashlynn was flattered. "Thank you, Mr. Lloyd, but I can take the subway."

"The subway is still some distance away. Do you want me to take you to the subway?" Corentin kindly said.

"No...no, goodbye, Mr. Lloyd!" Before Corentin could respond, she walked out of the shelter of the tree and rushed into the heavy rain.

Corentin stood there holding an umbrella, along with the continuous sound of pattering rain. With his amber eyes, he watched Ashlynn, who was wearing a bag on his head, gradually disappear in the distance.

When Ashlynn rushed into the subway station, her clothes were almost completely wet. She took out the napkin in her bag to wipe her hair. She was in such a mess.
