Recalling the time of that missed call earlier, Thea Lynch didn't rush inside.
"When did you guys get here?"
The assistant looked at his watch, quickly gave her an accurate number: "Around 6:50."
It's already past eight now.
Hmm.
"Why didn't you go directly to Stratus to find me?"
"President Preston knew you were still working late, afraid to disturb your work, so he came here to wait for you first."
Upon hearing that, it did seem considerate.
Thea softly clicked her tongue, nodded at him, and went inside.
"Hey, wait." Behind her, the assistant was about to close the unit door and return to the car when he heard her voice.
"Miss Lynch?"
The assistant looked over.
"Was Silas at the company all day?"
"Yes." The assistant replied kindly, "President Preston didn't have any social engagements today; after finishing today's meeting, he came directly here."
Thea acknowledged with a sound and raised her hand indicating he could leave.
