Chapter 44: Don’t Worry, I’m Here
Jessie had a driver’s license. She thought she would be a bit rusty after not driving for so long, but she quickly got the hang of it, and her movements were smooth.
She rolled down the car window and smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Harper. I really like this car. How much did you pay for it? I’ll handle the car loan myself."
Kevin shook his head. "I bought it directly, so you don’t need to."
"Oh." She was momentarily stunned before she corrected herself, "In that case, I’ll transfer the money for the car to you later."
"No need." He shook his head firmly. "I already said it’s a gift for you. Stop thinking about paying me back."
After saying that, he turned back to his pickup truck with a displeased expression and drove off.
Jessie pouted; this man really had a temper. Trying to clear things up with him only seemed to offend him further.
She collected her emotions and soon started the vehicle, heading to the store.
It was almost evening when Lilian and Steve arrived. She quickly greeted them, "Come, sit down. I’ll make you both some coffee."
Lilian smiled and showed off the bicycle behind her. "Jessie, didn’t you say your bike was broken? My boss and I chipped in some money to buy you this. How do you like it? I even picked out a pink one."
She blinked expectantly, waiting for Jessie’s reaction.
"This..." Jessie felt a bit awkward.
