NovelEnglishThe bus stopped at the seaside road waiting for them.
The employees of the automotive project team boarded the bus one after another. Although they had not had enough, after all,
they had to go back to their work tomorrow.
Juanita, Joyce and Luther were the last three to board the bus.
After sitting down, the driver said to the group, "We are ready to go. The traffic would not be as heavy as when we came, so we
would be faster. It would take about one and half an hour."
Juanita stretched a bit and looked at her watch, "When we get home, it’s just tto take a shower and go to bed, what a great
day! The group is so thoughtful, it would be nice to have more events like this."
"Yes, yes, | had too much for the dinner, or it would be a waste. | don’t have an expensive buffet like this one!" The male colleague
touched his bulging stomach that had not yet subsided and said contentedly.
"lI don't even want to go back." Juanita lamented, "l wanted to stay at the beach for one night."

Joyce nudged Juanita from behind her, "You just can’t have enough!"
At this point, the driver closed the door and prepared to depart.
Joyce leaned back in her seat as she searched through her pockets and then opened her carry-on bag and searched around.
However, just when the bus started, Joyce suddenly shouted to the driver, "Wait a minute."
Luther was still sitting next to Joyce. He had seen her rummaging around, and then shouted to stop the bus. He asked, "What's
wrong?"
The driver heard the sound and hurriedly stopped the car.
"Sorry, | can't find my phone, | probably just left it at a stall somewhere. | have to go back and look for it." She got up from her seat
and said to the driver, "Could you please open the door?"
"I'll walk you to it." Juanita was the first to stand up.
"Juanita, I'll go by myself. | thought about it, it's already eight in the evening and you'll all arrive hafter ten. | can't hold up
everyone here just for me. In this way, after | get off, | won't get on the car. Mister, you can send them all back directly. No need to
wait for me."
"What about you then? How can there be a bus back this late? It's too remote to get a cab."
Juanita asked with anxious concern.
"It's okay. I'll just find a hotel for the night. I'll return to the city early tomorrow." Joyce said back.
"I'll stay with you, just as | would like to! Besides, | can always help you, | remember all the places we just walked." Juanita stepped
forward and tugged on Joyce's sleeve.
"There's really no need. I'm planning to go directly from here to the Motor City tomorrow morning, and | originally had a work visit
to the Motor City planned for the day after tomorrow. I'll simply go earlier, and I'll save half the drive by leaving from here
tomorrow." Joyce had anticipated that Juanita would ask to accompany her, and she had already thought of an excuse.
"Okay." Juanita looked a little dejected and resumed her seat.

"Joyce, when you find the phone, don't forget to tell us in the group chat." One of the male colleagues reminded.
"Got it, thanks, everyone. You guys go back first, it's late." Joyce then ran out of the car.
Just as the driver was about to close the door, Luther suddenly stood up and walked to the front of the car, his voice cold and
indifferent, "Wait, I'll get off too. You guys go ahead, don't wait for me."
After saying that, he strode out of the car, without even a word of explanation.
Without looking back, he walked in the direction Joyce had left.
Inside the bus, there was silence at first.
After a while.
There cthe sound of a large group breathing heavily in relief, one after another.
Today the boss suddenly calong, and although everyone had a good tand the boss did not make things difficult for them,
they just always had to be careful, and they could not even breathe freely. Now the boss was off, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
At least for the journey back they could finally fool around singing happily.
