Since Adrian insisted, she didn't refuse and exited the hotel with him.
When they arrived at the side of the car, Adrian opened the door to the passenger seat and told Liam, "Liam, I'll leave you two be now. Thank you for picking me up. Good night."
"Good night." Liam didn't get out of the car to greet him, but he remained courteous.
"We'll be leaving then." Maria didn't think Adrian would figure out her relationship with Liam, which surprised her, but she felt relieved at the same time.
"Go on then." Adrian smiled and closed the door for her.
Maria waved as she watched him back up from the window.
Liam turned to glance at her before driving off.
Maria still had her head turned back. When she finally couldn't see Adrian's figure anymore, she turned to look ahead.
Liam's voice rang out, "You seem to be close with Adrian."
Stunned, she answered honestly, "We're classmates from the same country, so we got along very well."
