“Isn’t it still early?” Jake asked. He knew that she might be feeling shy since her aunt was there.

“They should arrive soon. Should I accompany you while you wait for their arrival?” Jake asked as he looked at the ton his wristwatch. He then continued to say, “The truth is, it’s nothing major. All they wanted to ask is the details about the water that you drank,”
“They’ve taken the company’s surveillance footage too.”
