After dinner, the man drove her to the Research Institute, which was undergoing renovation.
Daniel Cooper stood at the entrance, raised his hand, and gently touched her hair, whispering, "I have to go out and take care of something, so I won't go in. Let me know what time you'll be returning, and I'll come to pick you up."
Amelia tilted her head to avoid his hand and smiled, "No need to trouble Mr. Cooper. I saw that your car has been following me all the time. Just leave my car for me, and I can go back by myself."
With an unchanged expression, he said, "You saw wrong, that wasn't my car; mine broke down and it hasn't been fixed yet. I'll pick you up in the evening."
Without waiting for her response, he turned around and left.
Watching his retreating figure walking away briskly, Amelia felt an urge to chase after him and give him a good kick.
She stood still, took out her phone, and called Nathan Taylor.
