Take Me Away

Spencer immediately returned to the base and went back to work as soon as Wayne's birthday party was over. He could only return to the Four Seasons Scenery for an overnight stay on Saturday evenings.

By mid-August, Fiona started preparing for school.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

It was a text message from Ryan, telling her when the D University freshmen would start registering. He was able to disseminate the information faster than the university did.

Fiona held the phone in her hand and thought of what to reply. "Ryan, I was busy last time and wasn't able to join you for ice cream," she typed. "Would you want to join me today? My treat."

Ryan's reply came in merely two seconds later. "I'm free. I'll wait for you at the entrance of D University. Don't miss it this time!"

"Okay. I'll be there in an hour."

Ryan was resting under a tent inside a tennis court near the Wen family residence. The moment he received Fiona's message, he took off his hat and ran excitedly to his home. He ran like a child, his short hair flying against the wind.

"Andrew, give me the car keys. I'm going to the university," Ryan said with a big smile on his face. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Mr. Wen," Andrew started. Ryan quickly ignored him and ran to the second floor. Andrew shook his head with a smile.

Ryan went into the bedroom, took a cold shower, put on clean clothes, and ran downstairs.

"Mr. Wen, here you go," Andrew said, placing the keys in Ryan's hand. "Have a safe drive."

But when Ryan was about to take the keys, he suddenly realized something. "Andrew, can you drive me there?" he asked.

"Okay." Andrew nodded without questions.

Ryan pursed his lips. He didn't want to frighten Fiona by driving the car himself. He didn't know much about her family, but he didn't want her to think that he was using his family background to attract her.

A black car stopped in front of the west gate of D University. Ryan opened the door and stepped out of the car. "Andrew, you don't have to wait for me. Just go home," he instructed.

"Okay, Mr. Wen. Be careful."

"I will." Ryan nodded and walked towards the main gate. Andrew was parked at a corner 500 meters away from the main gate. It was the same spot where he would park to wait for Ryan after his classes. He drove Ryan to and from school for three years during his college years.

Meanwhile, Fiona took the bus. Only a few people were walking around. She suddenly realized that students were out for summer vacation during August. There shouldn't have been any students in school. She wondered what Ryan was doing there.

"Hi, Fiona."

Her deep thought was disturbed by someone calling out her name across the road. When she turned to look, she saw Ryan's smiling face.
