I look at his face, shyly awaiting answers as he only remains silent, acting busy driving the car.

The time stretches for so long that eventually I divert my gaze away, acknowledging that my question has been ignored and letting the embarrassment overtake me.

"I was impressed by your actions."

"Huh?" My brows twitch as I turn my head over in response to his deep voice filling my ears.

"You were completely out of your mind over that damn phone." He shrugs.

"And purse." I add in, giggling.

He looks at me in amusement with a raised brow.

"It was quite... Amusing." He breathes, staring at me.

I smile timidly, bringing my gaze elsewhere to contemplate his answer.

So...

That's it?

That's his reason? Helping me out of amusement?

I... Wasn't really expecting that, I thought he would say something deep about me like...

I don't know...

...

The lively atmosphere gradually vanishes to be interchanged by the usual silence once again.

Man, I'm really allergic to it.

None of us has anything to say so I just relax my body, trying to kill my boredom by peering through the windshield. We are moving at a steady speed, passing large buildings and vehicles on a busy street.

I wonder when we will get there as I rest my head on the headrest, moderately tilting it to an easeful posture, still fixating my gaze on the street.

After he takes a turn to a street which has very little traffic jam, a spontaneous idea strikes me.

"Damon." I call out to him, perusing the road.

"Yes?"

"Can you speed up this beast?" I turn to him with a frisky smile painted on my face.

He chuckles at my request.

"Sure thing, love."

Finishing that, he immediately shifts gear and hits the gas pedal, fulfilling my wish when the car revs loudly before darting forward with a remarkable speed, forcing me to stick my back to the seat and grip the grab handle in response.

"Woo!" I squeal in excitement.

As much as I enjoy the adrenaline rush my body is having, unfortunately, the moment only lasts a few seconds before the car slows down, leaving behind an unforgettable thrilling experience, making me crave for more.

"That was quick." I pout.

"I know."

"How was it?" He looks at me when we come to stop at a red light.

"Amazing!" I smile brightly, making him laugh.

"What is this?" He mumbles, staring at the mess in front of the dustbin with his hands cupping his hips.

He leaves the scene to come inside with an aggravating face.

"Miss Lancaster?" He stops to call one of his employees.

After a moment of no reply and no sight of that person anywhere, his mood worsens and he trudges to the front room, which is the zone for customers.

"Miss Young." He calls a woman who is pouring coffee.
