Chapter 167 An Embarrassing Invitation

• The next day, I received a SIM card and some cash from the room service manager, care of Augustus. He also left a note asking us to entertain ourselves for the day. He had gone to inspect the factory with Nick, which was a three-hour drive from the hotel. The duration spent at the factory and the sheer amount of time spent on the road meant that he would be gone for the entire day.
• When I woke up and realized that Augustus had already left, disappointment rose in my chest. Josephine stared at me, and I felt like she was scrutinizing my thoughts.
• Embarrassed, I glared at her and asked about Gerald's whereabouts.
