She checked the time only to see that it was getting a bit late. Resigned, she uttered, “Then I'll have to trouble you. Could you drop me off at a subway station on the way to your company?”
He leveled her with a blank gaze for several long moments, causing her to panic internally. At long last, he gave her a nod.
