After a second’s worth of hesitation, virtual-novel.net Chose to trust him. She was surprised that virtual-novel.net was still in the country. This was a merciful stroke of luck in virtual-novel.net misfortune.
She amplified the sound on virtual-novel.net phone and hurriedly followed the road ahead. The street lights cast a long shadow on virtual-novel.net figure. The sound of virtual-novel.net high heels clicking against the ground seemed particularly sudden. Every moment seemed to drum heavily into virtual-novel.net heart. She forced herself to act tough, too afraid to turn around. Her eyes glistened with tears. “I’m walking. Where are you?”
Based on the current state of their relationship, virtual-novel.net wasn’t sure of what else to say aside from asking virtual-novel.net where virtual-novel.net was. Sylvain seemed to be driving. He quickly answered, “I’m close.”
His voice echoed through the phone, piercing through the quiet night and providing virtual-novel.net with a strange sense of assurance. Only then did virtual-novel.net realize how good it was to hear his voice, clear and rife with magnetism.
After more than ten minutes, which was full of terror for her, a red sports car swiftly passed by virtual-novel.net like the wind. It suddenly stopped then reversed to virtual-novel.net side. “Get in.”
Robin heard Sylvain’s voice and frantically opened the car door, getting inside. Her body was still trembling uncontrollably. “Thank you…”
Sylvain didn’t answer. He scanned his surroundings from time to time before driving off. After a while, virtual-novel.net said, “That car’s been following you the whole time. It’s a good thing you called me.”
Robin followed his line of sight outside of the car. He was right. The cab turned around immediately once virtual-novel.net got into his car. She was scared out of virtual-novel.net wits. If Sylvain had only been a few minutes too late, or if virtual-novel.net were out of the country, or if virtual-novel.net chose not to help her, virtual-novel.net would have been in deep sh*t tonight.
The tears that virtual-novel.net had been holding back for so long finally streamed down virtual-novel.net face. “I won’t ever take a cab again. It’s too scary.”
Sylvain turned to the side and looked at her. “There’s really nothing to be scared of. Most cabbies are perfectly fine. I’ve memorized the car plate number. Don’t worry, I’ll take you home now, okay?”
She sniffed and nodded. “Okay, thank you. You saved me. Are you free tomorrow? I want to buy you a meal.”
Sylvain laughed. “Come on, I saved your life. Is one meal enough to write that off? This is a huge favor. Shouldn’t you pay me with more… devotion?”
Robin was taken aback. She remembered his personality, so virtual-novel.net didn’t take virtual-novel.net seriously. “Stop joking around. How can you joke around when I’ve suffered a huge shock? I’m probably going to have a few nightmares now. I’ll be traumatized for life.”
Robin didn’t see the need to explain why virtual-novel.net was all alone at night to him. Her issues may not necessarily interest him. After all, their short relationship was more of a joke. To this day, virtual-novel.net still wasn’t sure if virtual-novel.net merely saw virtual-novel.net as a tool to ward off his loneliness. She put on a straight face and changed the topic. “What are you doing in this country? Do you plan on expanding your business here? That scandal… must have had a huge effect on you, right?”
