The elevator stopped on the ground floor. Abigail walked out along with the other people who had boarded the elevator.
She could have gone straight to the underground parking area and gotten into Christopher's car. But instead, she asked him to wait outside.
Abigail spotted his car parked on the side of the road, a few yards from the gate. She walked over and got in.
"You are late."
Abigail paused in the middle of buckling up the seatbelt and looked at him, who glowered at her. She correctly guessed that he would be angry with her.
There was no way she would tell him that she was late because she had been talking on the phone with Jasper.
"The elevator was full. I have to wait for another one."
She was not completely lying. When she exited the training room, she noticed the elevator moving down and had no choice but to wait for it to return.
