It's even harder to get a taxi after work,I thought.
I started booking a ride an hour before getting off work.Looking at the 800 people in front of me in the queue,I let out a sigh.
I took out my small sun umbrella from the drawer.If I really can't get a taxi,I'll take a longer route to the subway.
Fortunately,tomorrow is the weekend,and I can sleep in and recharge my energy.
Ryan didn't say he would come to pick me up today.
He didn't send Ava in the morning,so he might need to pick her up in the evening.
I stood downstairs,looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky.I couldn't help but stomp my feet and blow warm air into my hands.This weather is really unbearably cold.
The taxi-hailing app showed that there were still more than 400 people in front of me in the queue.
I canceled the ride,opened my small umbrella,and was about to go to the subway.
I hadn't walked a few steps when I heard the car horn behind me keep honking.
For a moment,I felt a flash of joy.
When I turned around,disappointment washed over me.
It wasn't Ryan.
Jack rolled down the car window and stuck his head out,shouting at me impatiently,"What are you standing there for?Hurry up and get in the car.You can't park here."
I pursed my lips,looked down at the snow on the ground and my cold feet,and decisively got into his car.
I can't go against my own body.
"What kind of expression is that?I don't want to pick you up either.If it weren't for Ryan asking me to come,I wouldn't be here."
I twitched the corners of my mouth,"Thank you.You can just drop me off at the nearest subway station."
"If you don't want to smile,don't force it.It's annoying to look at.Since I promised Ryan,I will definitely take you home."
"Still,thank you.Otherwise,my feet might have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Taking advantage of the red light,Jack looked down at my shoes.
"Wearing high-heeled shoes with thin leather soles in such cold weather.You deserve to get frostbite!"
I didn't explain.When Ryan dropped me off in the morning,I changed my shoes in the car and left them there casually.
There are always spare shoes for me in Ryan's car.
In the past,when the weather was bad and Ryan wasn't on a business trip,he would always come to pick me up and drop me off.
It seems that starting from next week,I need to keep a pair of shoes in the office.
