chapter 232
With everyone’s help, they managed to move the car aside.
As long as the car was moved, it would no longer obstruct the vehicles behind it.
Gratefully, the driver said, “Thank you in advance. The young lady I’m working for has urgent business to attend to. Could you give her a ride?” Jim and the driver hesitated to agree without permission, but Jim returned to the Rolls-Royce and respectfully asked their boss. “Mr. Zachary, there’s another person in the car ahead. The driver said she’s a young lady he serves, and she has urgent matters to address. Since his car needs to be towed for repairs, he requested if we could give her a ride.”
Zachary asked coldly, “Which family does she belong to?”
Jim replied hesitantly, “I didn’t ask.”
Zachary recognized the young lady as she stepped out of the car. It was none other than Elisa Stone, the woman who had relentlessly pursued him after publicly confessing her love.
As Elisa approached his car, Zachary’s handsome face tensed. He suddenly recalled Serenity telling him that Elisa had sought her advice on how to pursue him.
Meanwhile, that insufferable woman Serenity had eagerly taught Elisa a method.
To help take him down, she had never witnessed such a generous wife before. She was actually assisting another woman in pursuing her own husband. Zachary immediately suspected that Elisa’s car breaking down was intentional. In the past, she always drove herself, but this time she had chosen to let a driver take her, clearly as a way to obstruct his path.
Jim noticed Elisa and was a bit surprised, yet he remained silent and stepped aside without a word. Elisa approached and leaned down slightly to knock on Zachary’s window. Ignoring her, Zachary refused to acknowledge her presence and did not lower the window.
“Zachary, my car broke down. Could you give me a ride?” she called out, raising her voice since he wouldn’t roll down the window. He continued to stare straight ahead, not even glancing at her.
“Zachary, I promise I only need a ride. It won’t inconvenience you at all. I can sit with your bodyguards,” she insisted.
Jim watched quietly, wondering if his boss would be compassionate enough to allow Ms. Stone into the car. Zachary remained silent. His bodyguards exited the vehicle and assisted in moving Elisa’s car to the side. Once they ensured that other vehicles could pass through, the bodyguards returned to their cars. The driver and Jim also got in. The driver glanced at Zachary, but Jim quietly instructed, “Drive.”
“What about Ms. Stone?” the driver asked, uncertain if they would give her a ride or not. Jim replied, “Do you want to lose your job?”
Without hesitation, the driver started the car. ‘I don’t want to lose my job,’ he thought. ‘Even though Mr. Zachary is cold, he offers an excellent salary. What I earn is enough to support my entire family, so I definitely want to keep my position.’
