Thomas cleared his throat, which snapped Olivia out of her reverie. She rattled off an address.

He nodded and started driving.

“Oh, right!” She was struck with a thought and quickly added, “There’s no rush. Feel free to take your time.”

A slight hint of a smirk danced across Thomas’ lips.

Olivia must have been terrified of the way he drove the last time.

Well, it wasn’t surprising. He was probably the only driver in this world who would end up making his employer puke on his first day on the job. It was a bit extreme.

There was a sea of luxury cars parked out front. Thomas gave them all a cursory glance. Even the cheapest model among them would cost at least six figures. It proved that all the attendees were some of Irieson’s richest and most influential people.

Olivia glanced at Thomas and decided on a whim to ask, “Why don’t you come in with me, Thomas?”

“Me? Go in with you?” Thomas was taken aback.

He was just a driver. Would it be alright for him to follow Olivia into a place like this?
