A few days later, in the evening, I worked part-time in the convenience store as usual. The clock on the wall soon showed ten o'clock, and a person entered.
He wore a mask, picked up a few things, and walked to a hidden dining area.
Because it was too late, I had to go over and apologize, "Sorry, sir. We'll close soon."
The man sat down and began to take off his clothes.
I was startled and said cautiously, "It's not convenient for us to serve you."
The man ignored me and suddenly reached out to pull me into his arms.
I was so frightened that I beat him hard. "Let go of me! There are surveillance cameras in the store!"
The man took my beating, but he didn't resist. He said in a tired voice, "Serenity, I'm back."
I was stunned and realized that this man was Christopher.
He took off his hat, and it revealed Christopher's tired face. He hadn't rested for a few days, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
"Sorry, I came back late."
