"That was your boyfriend," that sounded like a statement rather than a question. Of course, Hyson didn't have to ask. The gentleness reflected in Cloe's eyes was too obvious. "What? He is missing you already?"

Cloe smiled at him, "He is."

Hyson looked at her expression of showing off and chuckled, "Well, he should be."

Cloe's smile deepened when she heard that and told him, "He said he is coming to pick me up."

Hyson looked at the time and nodded, "Right. You've been here for a while. It's your day off anyway. You should enjoy it while you can. Tomorrow is gonna be a busy day."

Amiah had already taken her leave while Cloe was talking on the phone. And since they weren't even close or on good terms, Cloe didn't ask about her. She helped pack up the food boxes with Hyson and turned to leave.

"What are you hesitating for?" asked Hyson.

"Oh, I'm wondering if I should tell Chief that I'm leaving," replied Cloe.
