"Itâs inconvenient for me.â Josephine firmly rejected her. Katrina immediately put aside her pride and begged, âPlease just give me a ride, Josephine!â
However, Josephine couldnât be bothered ast she announced, âYou should take a cab.â After she said that, she went to her car, which happened to be right next to her. Opposite her car was a row of VIP parking spaces, where the red sports car stayed there under the dazzling lights like a noble princess.
Katrina was so angry she quietly stomped her foot and cursed at Josephine. Josephine sat in the driverâs seat while Ethan adjusted the passenger seat. He had to adjust the seatâs position because of his mile-long legs. The man, standing a frame of six feet three, looked like he was struggling to worm his way into this mini-BMW.
Josephine then pressed the ignition switch, only to hear the engine letting out sounds of protest. The car simply wouldnât start. âWhat the hell?â She was utterly confused. The car was working just fine this morning, but now the engine wouldnât even start!
Oh dear car of mine, please donât embarrass me, she thought to herself. Am I running out of luck in front of a hottie? This is so humiliating!
Not wanting to give up, she kept pressing it a few more times. However, the car engine seemed to be intentionally provoking her as it made a few muffled noises despite staying dead. Ethan bit back his laughter and turned to ask her, âIs something wrong?â
âNo idea. It was fine when I drove here this. morning, but I canât get it to start now.â Josephine started getting anxious. She didnât know a thing about car repairs, as her father was always the one who did her car maintenance for her.
âDid the engine break down because itâs been some time since it was sent for maintenance?â she muttered. Seeing this, the man pointed at the red Porsche across them and suggested, âLetâs use that car instead.â
Her mind went blank for a few seconds, but she eventually panicked as she stared at the sports car.
âBut Iâve never driven a sports car!â âIâll teach you.â Ethan opened the door and got out of the car after throwing that out.
Josephine refused to give up and pressed the ignition button two more times, but it still wouldnât start.
She couldnât help feeling frustrated at the thought that this situation was forcing her into switching cars.
She received a call from Luke, to which she stayed in the car and answered. âHey, Luke.â
âJoey, Iâm at the restaurant already. Iâll be waiting!â âOkay, Iâm heading over now,â she answered. It.
seemed like she had no choice but to go to the restaurant in the car Ethan gave her.
And so, she reluctantly got out of the car with her purse and bag of documents before she handed the bag containing the car keys to Ethan. To her surprise, Ethan opened the driverâs door and gestured at her to enter. Seeing this left her stunned. Is he not driving?
âYouâll be driving,â he mentioned in a low voice. âI⦠I really donât know how to.â Josephine wasnât being modest; she truly didnât dare to drive a sports car!
âYouâll know how after I show you the ropes.â He smilingly went to open the door to the passengerâs seat and got in. Feeling somewhat awkward, Josephine nervously scrambled to the driverâs seat.
Ethan then leaned over to teach her. As Josephine was used to driving, she understood him immediately. She eventually turned her head and asked, âArenât you afraid of riding in a car driven by a female driver like me, Mr. Quarles?â He stifled a laugh and rasped, âI trust you.â
Upon hearing that, she started the car. Katrina was waiting next to the elevator for her colleague to see her home when she heard the low-pitched roar of a sports car coming from the direction of the VIP parking spot next to her. It was a rich and powerful sound that no one. could resist. She hurriedly took a few steps forward, only to see through the lowered car window that Josephine was in the driverâs seat while Ethan was sitting next to her.
Katrina was stupefied to see that. What is going on? The sports car that the group was talking about was Josephineâs? Did Ethan give it to her?! At that point, Katrina could go crazy from the jealousy that filled her.
On the other end, Josephine slowly drove the car out of its parking spot. The shiny car demanded attention, whereas Josephine, clad in uniform, looked indescribably elegant and beautiful in it.
Katrina kept staring at Josephine driving the sports car with Ethan beside her. Suddenly, her fists were balled up in jealousy.
