Winston was silent as he drove, not uttering a word.
The air inside the car grew increasingly chilly.
“Why did you trick me into getting in the car?” Hannah asked in a relaxed tone.
“I apologize, ma’am. This car belongs to my boss. I was here to drop someone off and thought I could make a little extra by driving back,”
Winston explained, denying any foul play. “I didn’t mean to cause any confusion.”
A smile crept onto Hannah’s face upon hearing his words. She gazed out the window and remarked, “Looks like you’re not planning to kidnap me. We are indeed heading towards downtown Lightby. You’re supposed to be keeping an eye on me, right? Aren’t you worried about the consequences of your boss for showing up now? I prefer direct conversations. Speak the truth, or I might twist your head off. Do you believe me?”
“Yes, I believe you.” Winston’s response was icy. “If you’re not going to pay, I’ll just consider this a free ride to your destination.”
Hannah looked at Winston, finding his arrogance astounding!
She suddenly tried to hit the back of Winston’s head!
Without thinking, Winston instinctively tilted his head to avoid it, and their car jerked sidewards, nearly crushing into another!
The moment he regained control of the car, the person in the backseat unexpectedly clasped his neck and said, “I don’t mean to kill anyone here. I’m just curious. Who sent you? Tell me!”
Hannah’s grip wasn’t tight, allowing Winston to breathe. He squinted and continued to drive calmly. “If anything happens, we’ll both be in trouble, ma’am.”
“Enough talk!” Hannah squeezed his neck harder, demanding, “Tell me the truth!”
“I’ve already told you…” Winston struggled to speak, his face reddening. “I am just… I’m just an employee. You’ve got the wrong idea, ma’am!”
Hannah’s eyes narrowed as she released her grip slightly. “I don’t care who sent you. But remember, if you don’t tell the truth, you’ll face the consequences! Nobody could’ve evaded my move like you just did unless they’ve had some proper training. You reacted swiftly, unlike your average driver. And you’re too calm for someone who’s just a regular worker, even under threat. I refuse to believe you’re just an ordinary employee!”

Hannah relaxed her arms, crossed her legs on the seat, and began to touch up her makeup in a small mirror.
Her grace and demeanor seemed so refined as if she couldn’t possibly be the one who had done something cruel to Winston!
The lovely lady delicately lifted her gaze in the rearview mirror and peered at the driver. “Since you’ve got the guts to see me, it means you’re not worried about revealing who you are. You think I’m a gullible fool who’s going fall for your lies?”
Winston remained silent before finally speaking, “Ma’am, I want to get you to your destination. That’s all. Can’t we leave it at that?”
Hannah’s smile was deliberate as she enunciated each word. “Because I’m not satisfied! I couldn’t care less whose man you are. Do you honestly think I’ll just let you walk away after showing right up to me like this?”
After that, the person in the front seat went quiet once more.
“Call your boss.”
Winston continued to drive calmly, neither agreeing nor refusing to make the call.
“You have three seconds. Call your boss, or I’ll hurt you right now.”
