ASTRID stepped into Ellis's car, having just finished his afternoon class. Ellis was there to pick him up because they needed to go to the company for an important meeting. Director McCann had called Ellis the previous night, asking if they could meet over the weekend. However, since Astrid was scheduled to leave the next day, they decided to move the meeting to today.
Speaking of his departure tomorrow, Astrid had already secured a three-day leave for next week. He wondered if Reas had also managed to do the same. The last time he called his brother to ask about his plans, Reas mentioned that he would request time off as well.
