"Okay," Jane Sampson agreed briskly, "I’ve got a morning to linger in the Bed and rest well, and with extra ti, I can even pick up so Springtown’s traditional specialty souvenirs for my grandfather."
"Mm," Jas Black’s voice carried a smile, "Do you know what I like?"
"No idea," Jane responded with earnest, "But I don’t need to know, I wasn’t planning on buying you a gift."
There was a nearly imperceptible twitch at the corner of Jas’s mouth on the video, followed by a soft chuckle.
"It’s very late; ti to rest," Jane waved at Jas through the lens with a giggle, "Rember my gift though!"
Honestly, throughout the week, Jane couldn’t stop thinking about it several tis and often couldn’t resist wondering what exactly was the gift Jas ntioned he was getting for her.
After all, Jas had said with such certainty that she would like it.
"Depends on your performance," Jas raised his eyebrows and waited for Jane to end the video call before placing his mobile phone back.
But, the mont he lay in the Bed, his brain uncontrollably replayed the image of Jane’s grinning face on the mobile phone. The re thought of her return the next day filled Jas’s heart with unaccountable excitent.
Indeed, finally knowing she was coming ho honestly and had made a call to him before arriving seed to suggest that his previous reminders had not been in vain.
For soone as crafty as Jane, this thod of education was the most effective.
Since she didn’t have to think about work the next day, Jane slept very soundly that evening. She didn’t even set an alarm clock and woke up naturally, though it was just past 8 o’clock.
After washing up, Jane knocked on Elizabeth King’s room door—Elizabeth stayed right across from her. When she went over, Elizabeth was still asleep.
"I’ve booked our flight tickets for 2:30 in the afternoon, so we have the morning free. I plan to buy so local delicacies from around the hotel to take back. What about you? Do you want to join ?" Jane, worried Elizabeth might feel awkward declining, quickly added, "If you want to continue sleeping, that’s also fine. I can shop by myself."
"Specialty souvenirs?" Elizabeth rubbed her eyes, then said, "Mr. Carter’s assistant called half an hour ago, saying Mr. Carter has prepared a specialty gift from Springtown for each of us to take ho. They’re kept at the hotel reception to pick up when we check out."
"Mr. Carter is so thoughtful." Jane clasped her hands over her heart, genuinely surprised, having not expected that Jas Carter had prepared specialties for her and Elizabeth, especially since everyone had gone back so late last night, and it was still very early now.
Elizabeth expressed her agreent with an emphatic nod.
Frankly, Elizabeth was also surprised to be included; she was just Jane’s new assistant, and it would have seed normal to her if Mr. Carter had prepared sothing only for Jane.
After spending these few days together, Elizabeth felt that Mr. Carter and Jane got along very well and had good rapport. Although Jane was currently focusing on acting, she had her own foundation and skills in music, and Mr. Carter was soone who could instill a lot of musical thought in her.
As for the choice Jane offered, Elizabeth quickly settled on sleeping in so more. Jane, on the other hand, grabbed her small backpack and, with mask, glasses, and hood in hand, set out for a solo stroll nearby.
