After listening to Yanis, Lane replied honestly, "I won't be available all day today. Can we meet tonight?"
Yanis said, "I have plans in the evening and won't have time. How about we meet after you're done with your work?"
Lane asked, "Is it urgent? If it's urgent, you can ask your friend to call me directly. I can let them know and talk to them first."
Upon hearing Lane's suggestion, Yanis hesitated, "Let me talk to her later and ask her to find a time to call you directly. It would be clearer if you two talk directly and discuss the details."
Lane responded, "Okay, no problem."
Yanis ended the call after a brief conversation with Lane.
As soon as Yanis hung up the phone, Bonnie walked out from inside and asked, "Finished the call?"
Yanis replied, "Lawyer Phillips is busy today."
Upon hearing Yanis's words, Bonnie suddenly remembered that Lane mentioned having something to do tomorrow after they had dinner together last night.
"Then let's do it tomorrow. Nancy is still in the hospital anyway, and there's no point in rushing," Bonnie whispered.
Yanis agreed, "I told Lawyer Phillips. I'll ask Nancy to call him later, so they can talk directly and discuss the details."
"That's good. It's more convenient than you being the middleman," Bonnie said, then looked at Yanis and asked, "What about your Mr. Lawrence? What did he say? My dad sent me a message asking about it."
"I just called him. He said he's in a meeting and will get back to me later," Yanis replied.
Bonnie nodded, "Alright. Do you have any other plans today? I might go see a previous client later and come to the store with you to go home in the afternoon."
Yanis responded, "You go ahead and take care of your business. I'll tidy up the store later. We have a new batch of products coming in a couple of days."
Bonnie acknowledged, "Okay, I'll leave now. Let me know when Mr. Lawrence gets back to you."
Yanis waved her hand, "Got it. Drive safely."
After saying that, Yanis looked at Bonnie and suggested, "How about I drive you there? After you finish your business, I'll come pick you up. I don't have anything important to do anyway."
Bonnie politely declined, "No need. I'll drive myself. It's more convenient for me to go wherever I want, and right now I'm still comfortable. But when I start getting bigger and it becomes inconvenient, I'll definitely boss you around every day. You can't escape."
Yanis chuckled at Bonnie's words, "Okay then, take your time."
Bonnie nodded, turned and got into her car.
Yanis stood at the doorway, watching Bonnie drive away before turning back into the store.
...
After Bonnie drove away, she didn't go to the location she had arranged with the previous client. Instead, she headed directly north to the cemetery.
In fact, Yanis's phone call had startled Bonnie from her sleep that morning.
She had trouble sleeping all night, tossing and turning until the early hours of the morning when she finally felt a bit drowsy.
But as soon as she fell asleep, she started having strange and vivid dreams.
In the end, she dreamed about Myles.
She saw Myles covered in blood, closing his eyes in front of her.
Then the scene shifted, and it was the same image all over again.
She couldn't wake up no matter how hard she tried.
If it weren't for Yanis's phone call, she would probably still be trapped in those nightmares.
Therefore, after Bonnie woke up, the first thing she thought about was going to see Myles.
Mia chuckled lightly at the remark, "I think it's all fate's arrangement."
Vivian didn't respond to Mia's words and said softly, "You go in, I'll wait here."
Mia acknowledged with a sound and stepped into the cemetery.
When Mia found out that Myles had died, she suddenly felt that life seemed meaningless.
The person she had been thinking about for so long had left this world just like that.
Even now, she still disliked Bonnie, disliked how she always acted superior.
When she heard about Myles' accident, Mia thought, "If only it was Bonnie who died."
But unfortunately, it was Myles who died, not Bonnie.
After entering, Mia looked at Myles' photo on the gravestone and gently touched it, "Myles, didn't you love her? How could you bear to leave her alone?"
Mia squatted down in front of Myles' gravestone and continued, "You loved her so much, why did you have to leave?"
One question after another poured out of Mia's mouth.
Finally, Mia's voice choked up, "You're really ruthless. I didn't even have the chance to see you for the last time before you left."
"Why does she, Bonnie, have the right to make you do this?"
"Why does she have the right?"
"Myles, tell me, why does she have the right?"
"Shall I send her down to accompany you? Since I missed you, let me be generous once and fulfill your wish, okay?"
