Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 110 Awakened In The Middle Of The Night

I would definitely refuse without saying a word if it was any Tom, Dick, and Harry asking me for my number.

When the event ended, Shannon and I left Century Hyatt right away. We were chit-chatting about the night while waiting for our ride by the roadside.

Right then, a black Hummer pulled over. Startled, Shannon and I stopped talking.

Wondering who the bad driver was, I was cursing in my heart at his driving skills. Unexpectedly, Royce got out of the vehicle.

Luckily I kept my mouth shut. Otherwise, it’d be so awkward.

“Mr. Horton,” I greeted him with a smile.

He nodded. “Hi. I saw you two from afar. Are you trying to get a ride? It’s going to be a challenge at this hour. If you don’t mind, I can drive you home.”

I did not want to trouble him. Moreover, it was our first meeting and we hardly knew each other.

A little precaution won’t hurt.

“Thanks for the thought, Mr. Horton, but we’ve engaged a driver. Our ride should be here in no time.”

Shrugging, he answered indifferently, “Okay, I’ll get going then. See you around.”

“Bye.”

Watching him leave, Shannon pinched me on the waist and questioned, “We didn’t call a car, did we? Why did you say no to a free ride?

“Isn’t he one of the dates? His name is… Royce Horton, right? Hmm… So, are you two planning on seeing each other?”

I quickly clarified, “He asked for my number and mentioned that we could keep in touch. He’s pretty all right. Anyhow, I just got to know him, so I should think it’s best to be wary of people. Who knows? He might turn out to be a jerk.”

Shannon started getting all excited that her face was beaming. Caressing my head, she teased, “Oh my dear sweetheart, you’ve gotten smarter. I’m so proud of you that you’re guarding against strangers now.”
