Chapter 44: Scared For Her Life
Alex stared at the hands extended toward him with an indescribable look. He remembered the words she had said. They were the exact words he had told his brother. But there was no way that Alric would tell a lackey about them. And the way her eyes burnt, it did not look like she was lying.
"Your family wanted to kill you, why?" he took his hands to her surprise. She blinked and then her lips curled into a smirk as she pulled him up.
"Because they do not want the fact out that all the property belongs to my father. The shares, the house, everything." while she had lived all her life as a pauper, they have enjoyed the richness of what her parents left for her.
"I am not a philanthropist. I will only pay you if you will be useful to me. And so far, you have not proved it."
Alex stopped his bike at the outer of the city. He had driven it so fast that when he stopped it, Nora did not move for a second. She looked like she was in a trance when he turned to look at her.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow me." Nora nodded and shook her head. She looked so lost. But slowly her eyes started to clear. She heard a lot of cheering and noticed cars coming from the other side. She instinctively took many steps back as a car came toward the entry point with the speed of lightning.
Alex nodded at many of them and in front of her eyes, he entered in a red sports car and opened the door on the other side. When he did not move from her position, he gritted her teeth,
"Why are you still standing there? You are my navigator for the night."
He glared at her when she did not move for a second. She blinked twice and walked in. "Because of you I could not bring any of my friends. Now you want to stand here like a fool? Hurry up and fasten your seatbelt. If you’re afraid, close your eyes. Frail women like you are so troublesome."
