I rummaged through my bag, panic rose within me. I realized I didn't have enough money to take a taxi home. With a heavy sigh, I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to trek my way back. The thought of the long journey ahead weighed on my tired shoulders.

As I walked, the realization slowly dawned on me I was the last person to leave the company.

A fleeting thought crossed my mind, suggesting that I wait by his car in the hope that he might notice me and offer me a ride. However, I quickly dismissed the idea, reminding myself that I didn't want to inconvenience him.

With determination, I continued my trek through the darkness. The night enveloped me, and the streetlights provided the only source of illumination. It felt like an eternity had passed, even though it hadn't been over thirty minutes since I had left the company.
