Chapter 60: Cool and Confident
On the quiet road, the only audible sound was the smooth friction between the rubber tires and the asphalt road. Jazmine Harrison recited the words she had planned to say to Mr. Crowne to make him agree to her proposition. She glanced out through the glass, her eyes landing on the forests on both sides of the long road. Her eyebrows furrowed.
"Where are we headed for?"
"Mr. Crowne's personal residence."
Jazmine leaned back against the leather seat. She had expected to be taken to his office. But at this unexpected turn, she didn't dare to object. She didn't want to offend that 'Devil' in any way when he could prove to be such an important ally!
When she glanced at the eerie silence outside, a slight uneasiness crept into her heart. An uneasiness that was specifically associated with this place. Why was it so? She had never been here before; she was sure of that.
"How long is it going to take to reach our destination?"
The driver didn't say anything. Jazmine tore her gaze away from the scenery outside and glanced at him. Noticing the suspicious glance, he quickly replied.
"Two hours, Ms. Harrison."
Something was wrong.
Two hours... She had already checked it. The distance was only one hour. The driver was obviously lying. She bit her lip and decided what to do. The first thought that occurred to her was to notify someone. She took out her cell.
No signal.
