Chapter 238
Tyler got into the driverโs seat and started the engine. They headed toward the apartment. Midway through the ride, Rachel noticed that his face looked unusually pale.
She was worried about the wound on his back. Tyler had been hurt because of her. She couldnโt just sit back and ignore it.
But knowing Tyler, heโd probably clench his jaws and tough it out, no matter how much pain he was in.
Men had so much pride.
She spotted a pharmacy ahead and pointed at it. โPull over in front; Iโll get something for your wound.โ
โOkay.โ
Tyler pulled the car over to the curb. He stayed in the car while Rachel got out. She bought some bandages and ointment for treating wounds.
When she came back, she didnโt get in right away. Instead, she walked over to the driverโs side and tapped on the window. Tyler lowered it and squinted at her. โWhat?โ
โLet me try driving your car.โ
Tylerโs eyes glimmered with surprise. โRight now?โ
โYeah.โ
He looked thoughtful for a moment. He then unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door.
Rachel nodded slightly. โThanks.โ
As Tyler walked around the car, she glanced at the back of his shirt. Luckily, there wasnโt much blood. It mustโve opened up a little earlier when she fell on him.
When Rachel sat in the driverโs seat, it felt like a dream.
She had never driven a luxury car before.
Her heart fluttered with a little excitement and a hint of nervousness. After all, she knew just how expensive this car was. If she messed up, she would never be able to pay for the damage.
Just as she was about to start the engine, she asked nervously, โIf anything happens, youโre not going to make me pay for it, are you?โ
Tylerโs voice was calm. โWhy? Are you that bad of a driver?โ
โNot terrible. Itโs just my first time driving something this pricey. Of course, Iโm nervous.โ Her hands were already sweating on the wheel.
โDonโt worry, itโs insured,โ Tyler said. Rachel just started to relax when he suddenly added, โBut if you really crash it, Iโll just take you as payment.โ
Rachel had just started the car. As the engine roared to life, the sound thrilled her like music to her ears.
She glanced at Tyler as she accelerated. โTake me as payment? What are you going to do with me?โ
Rachel wasnโt exactly a jack-of-all-trades. She figured even if Tyler took her, she wouldnโt be of much use. Someone like Samantha could at least flirt her way through things.
Tyler said flatly, โI could use you for bedtime stories.โ
โBedtime stories?โ Rachel blinked in confusion. She had no idea what kind of twisted logic Tyler was working with this time.
โFigure it out yourself.โ Tyler clearly had no intention of explaining.
Rachel was a little nervous at first, but as she got more comfortable, her driving got faster and smoother. She was like a wild horse breaking free down the road.
The engineโs deep roar echoed across the highway.
Plenty of people were drawn by the sound.
โHoly crap, that car is so cool.โ
โItโs expensive too. I heard itโs a limited edition.โ
โWho owns that? Must be loaded.โ
โNot sure, it sped past too fast to see. But I think it was a woman.โ
โDamn, which lucky girl is that?โ
โI managed to snap a photo. Come, look!โ
Others quickly gathered to get a glimpse.
Rachel pulled up in front of the apartment and killed the engine. Theyโd made it in one piece.
She unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Tyler.
โWeโre here. Letโs get out.โ
Tyler rested a hand on the door and gave her a look. โSo this is what you call being nervous? The way you were driving, you didnโt look scared at all.โ
