annoyed to see Winnie again. “Why haven’t you left? What’s the matter this time?”“I’m going out for a while. Can you contact me right away when Xavier wakes up?” Winnie asked politely.Josiah paused whatever he was doing and questioned, “What gives?”Winnie frowned. “If it’s a hassle, then forget it. Sorry for disturbing you.”Just as Winnie was about to leave the room, Josiah stopped her. “Wait. How do I contact you?”“Just call Paulina’s number.”This time, Christopher chose to meet at a food court.Christopher was already seated at a table by the time Winnie arrived.The place was crowded since it was the peak hour for dinner.After taking a seat in front of Christopher, Winnie asked curiously, “I always see this in movies where the police and the spy or informant would always choose to meet at these kinds of places. Why’s that? Does the crowd provide a better cover? Why don’t they choose a more deserted place instead?”Christopher chuckled at her words. “I don’t know about others, but I chose this place just because their food is delicious. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I can recommend you some of their signature dishes.”Winnie frowned. “Um… I don’t have any restrictions. It’s just that—”Before Winnie could even finish, Christopher spoke. “Are you uncomfortable with this place?” Since he had already read her mind, Winnie felt that she should just tell him the truth. “Yes. It’s a little noisy here. But the next table’s food looks good. If you don’t mind, can we take away some food and eat somewhere else?”“I’m fine with it. Should we take a walk by the river, then?” Christopher asked cautiously. He felt as if he was on a date rather than having a secret meeting with his informant. At that thought, his heart raced uncontrollably.“Sure. A quieter place will make it easier for us to talk.”The river was a little far.
