Chapter 389

"Where are you going?"

"Back to the apartment!"

"I thought we agreed you'd eat at home today?"

Marcus was already pushing the door open.

He called back, "Not eating!"

"This kid... what's the rush..."

Sophia stopped at the building entrance, catching her breath.

She glanced at the box by her feet.

She looked up at the seventh floor.
