"You're asking me?" he replied.
Erica squeezed the toothpaste tube from the top and brushed her teeth, while she tapped on the phone screen with one finger.
“Who else should
I be asking?"
Two minutes later, he replied, “You must have climbed into bed yourself. How else?”
Erica tried to recall the events from the night before. Why couldn't she remember how she got from the recliner to her bed?
After a rather short breakfast, Erica hurried outside as Hyatt was waiting for her at the school gate. He stood there with a camera hanging around his neck, equipped with a Lens he would specifically use for photographing people.
Erica was just as prepared as Hyatt. She asked the chauffeur to drop her off at the school gate so she could walk inside with Hyatt with her camera.
“Erica, are you going to the live-action photographing event today?"
Hyatt asked.
"Yes, of course!" It sounded Like a fantastic event to learn and have fun in with fellow photography enthusiasts. There was no way Erica would pass on such an opportunity!
“But I heard that Aaron would be visiting Hilton Group today. I think his schedule in Alorith will conflict with our photography event. What should we do?"
It was a little known fact that Erica had many idols, but Aaron, in comparison to the others, was like a demigod to her. Everyone knew that about Erica.
“What? He is going to Hilton Group?" ‘Wait a minute! Isn't that my husband's company?’ Erica cooked up a plan in her head and made a decision.
“Of course I'll choose to go meet my idol Aaron! It's such a rare opportunity!" Erica said excitedly. Then, she continued in a softer tone, "There will be a lot of other activities for live-action shooting in the future, so it doesn't matter if I miss this one. Anyway, is the news you got reliable? Why didn't I hear about it?"
“Now that you mention it, I'm not sure. Someone said that in a group chat on WeChat," Hyatt replied with uncertainty
"I see. Anyway, please help me check when Aaron will arrive at Hilton
Group."
“Sure." Hyatt took out his phone and browsed his chat log.
"It says he'll be there from 3 to 5 p.m."
"Got it!"
Just then, Erica noticed a familiar figure walking toward them.
She was still hesitating over whether to say hello when that person noticed her as well.
Their eyes met. ‘Although she was cold to me last time, we used to be on good terms. I should go greet her anyway, ' Erica thought. Then, she took a step forward and spoke first.
“Hi, Phoebe!"
