Angela freshened up in the restroom and composed herself before waiting for William in the lobby. She could've just taken a cab or call an Uber, but the urge to refuse Gael's offer and have someone else take her home was strong. She did act on impulse, but she didn't regret it.
The night was cold, and the lobby was filled with couples and families on holiday vacation while she stood alone by the revolving doors. Rubbing her arms, she remembered that she left her coat in Nina's car and it was too troublesome to go back to take it.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Ready to leave?" William asked as he approached her.
Angela turned and saw Gael and Giovanni walking with him and other men who looked like security. She tried to avoid Gael's gaze when Giovanni greeted her, saying, "You look beautiful tonight, Angela. Take care on your way home."
