After exchanging a few words with Maria, Selena put away her phone and glanced ahead. Through the rearview mirror, she noticed that the driver was unfamiliar-a face she didn't recognize at all. Her eyes flickered with suspicion, but she pretended to remain calm, playing with her phone while secretly sending a message to Braden.

Braden replied, "Got it."

Selena suppressed her rising anxiety and looked out the window, casually asking, "This doesn't seem like the route to the restaurant, does it?"

"Oh, I see," she responded nonchalantly.

The driver answered, "Yes, my girlfriend really likes this scent, so I've been using it." "Nice." Selena nodded.
