Chapter 89 - 88. So Little Time, So Much To Do
In front of them, several cars were parked right before the entrance to the hill: a wooden gate of some sort that marked the beginning of a manmade trail. Three imposing men stood like guards around the gate, and a group of grumbling seniors stared at them not far away.
Up the trail, standing on a rather flat side of the hills, were the man who met Sarah the other day--Henry or something--and another man who dressed in something more casual. They were facing each other, talking while looking around the hill. The other man held what looked like a map in his hand, while pointing here and there.
"That’s the person?" Hajin crinkled his nose. "His team must have touched the photo."
Sarah rolled her eyes. "Don’t act insecure, puppy."
"Me? Where?" Hajin widened his eyes in genuine surprise.
"Commenting on someone’s appearance is a sign," Sarah flicked the bodyguard on the forehead. "Don’t lower yourself to that kind of spite. It’s not charming."
Hajin pressed his twitching lips; he wanted to giggle from the reprimand since it felt nice, but he worried Sarah would get angry for real. Instead, he opted to hold the girl’s hand and kissed it. "Are you going to come out, Master?"
"Let’s just watch for a bit," Sarah tapped the door handle with her free hand, letting Hajin hold her other one as she observed the faraway men.
It was good that the guards were focusing on the seemingly protesting citizens, so they didn’t notice a new car parked behind the truck. Still, if they wanted to go and listen to Henry’s conversation, they would need to take another route, possibly a hidden one. However, a hidden route usually involved climbing, and even without a sprained ankle, her leg was not in perfect condition.
Hadn’t been since that accident.
Hajin would say he could carry her there, but while Sarah didn’t mind it after being carried so many times, it would be weird to be seen like that in the middle of the day.
