Billionaire Nick

Chapter 7.2: Abort Plan  

"6 p.m.?" She nodded.

I looked down at my watch.

We had a lot of time.

"So" I started again while driving out of the parking lot.

"Like you said, your co-workers aren't very nice to you-"

"Not all of them" "You have friends there?" I raised a brow.

"Yeah.I know a few people.’ She shrugged.

"There's this girl, Ira, who is very sweet to me, and the other friend is my college mate."

"Rebekah?"

"No, no! Rebekah doesn't have time for work.She can barely pass her tests this semester.’ 

"Then who?" I raised a brow.

"It's my friend, Liam." She said friend.

"You might remember him from yesterday.He's interning at Mr.Andrews’ company.’ Oh, I remembered him all right.

"Yeah, I do,’ I said shortly.

"Liam and I usually do everything together.’ She suddenly sounded excited to talk about him.

"There was this time when we decided to—"

She stopped abruptly when I turned to her with a cold look.

"You—you didn't ask.I'm sorry" she muttered.

She barely ever talked to me and now, when she was finally telling me something out of her own free will, I shut her up.

What an idiot I am! "Oh no, no! I was looking at the other car.Stupid driver kept switching lanes."

I made up an excuse.

"But" She looked ahead.

"It's an empty road’ Fuck.

"You didn't see the car because you were talking to me.

He pulled over a few seconds ago,’ I explained.

"Oh"

"You were saying?"

"Oh, nothing.’ She smiled.

"Just that he is a very good friend to me and Rebekah-"

"About that.When is that study night coming up?"

"We'll probably do it tomorrow or this weekend"

"You, Liam and Rebekah?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's the plan, but we might invite other friends too.

"I see.I pulled over in front of a restaurant.

"Where are we?"

Caroline asked.
