He might find it unusual because I had to sit in the passenger seat before.

There was even a sign for my special seat.

He pinched his brows and said, "Are you a dog? Do you need to mark your territory? My tutor usually rides in my car. How embarrassing would it be to be seen?"

I was embarrassed and said, "Can I put on a small one? If you don't look carefully, you can't see it."

He did not try to stop me and said angrily, "It's just a seat. How childish."

Did I want a position?

What I wanted was something special from him.

Mary got along very well with him. They mostly chatted about the laboratory.

I couldn't get a word in.

Suddenly, she turned her head and said, "Ethel, why didn't you go to Gideon's sister's birthday party a few days ago?"

I had dinner with his sister a few times, and she was very nice to me.

But she didn't invite me to her birthday party, and Gideon didn't take me there.

Instead, he took Mary with him.

I looked out the window. "I don't know his sister's birthday."

"Why? Didn't Gideon introduce you to each other yet?"

I smiled and said nothing.

Before the summer vacation, his sister contacted me.

She asked me if I still liked pink diamonds.

I didn't understand.
