She didn’t have an umbrella with her and taxis were not stopping.
Stella stood at the door, waiting for the rain to stop.
Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce appeared out of nowhere and came to a halt in front of her.
Stella’s eyes widened when she saw the plate number.

This was the car Matthew drove around while they were on this business trip in Highwyn.
The car window was wound down slowly. Soon, Matthew’s handsome face came into view.
He turned to look at her and commanded, “Get in.”
What was Matthew doing here?
Stella had her doubts, but because the rain seemed to be getting heavier, she only hesitated for a second before hopping in the car.
The car started again and slipped into the road. The two of them suffered each other’s silence for a long time. The only thing that could be heard was their breathing.
The deafening silence made the situation a hundred times more awkward.
Stella tried to breathe lightly and looked down at her phone as if it would reduce her presence here.

Matthew stole a glance at her through the rearview mirror. He noticed that her clothes were wet and her curly hair clung to her cheeks in damp strands.
ALL of a sudden, Stella raised her head and met Matthew’s gaze in the rearview mirror.
Her heart skipped a beat. The air in the car was already stifling.
Now that they locked gazes, her cheeks and ears flushed.
Why was Matthew staring at her?
While she was lost in thought, Matthew’s voice came to her ears.
“There’s a towel on the back seat. Make use of it if you like.”
With that, he looked away and stared right ahead of him.
“Well… Thank you.” After faltering out her thanks, Stella stretched out her hand and took out a towel in a hurry.
It turned out he was staring because he was worried about her wetting the seat of his expensive car.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wiped her hair and tried to dry her wet clothes as much as possible.
Once she was done, she couldn’t suffer the silence anymore. She smiled awkwardly and struck up a conversation.
