Noah hurriedly got out of his car as soon as he parked it in his private spot at the basement parking of his apartment. He was hoping that he could catch Jess before she left. He tried to call her but her phone was turned off and he does not want to call Luke to ask him where Jess was.
The building security greeted him good evening but he simply nodded and went inside the elevator. Just as he got out of the elevator, Soraya came out of the hallway from Jess's apartment.
"Soraya…" he called after her. She stopped and waited for him with Lucille's dog, jumping excitedly next to her. "…is Jess home?"
"She sent me a message that she has to be at the lab." She looked down on the dog, "that's why I'm picking Macao because Lucille doesn't want him to be alone for a long time in Miss Jess's apartment."
