A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 68

Douglas arrived at the driving school half an hour later in a taxi.

When he got closer, I could see the flush on his fair skin.

Lilian and I also smelled the faint scent of alcohol on him.

He whispered while looking at us caringly, "I had a sudden appointment. Did you guys wait for long?"

I'd already explained to him why I wouldn't be attending the party on the phone—it was the same excuse I used on Lilian. But Douglas was still worried and wanted to come over anyway.

I didn't know that he had come over from a drinking session and felt embarrassed. "I should be the one to apologize. Did I ruin your gathering?"

But Douglas didn't answer me and Lilian replied instead, "You're too kind. Have you forgotten who he is? It's our kindest and sweetest class representative. I bet he's dying for you to find him."

"Stop fooling around."

Lilian shrugged. "Oops. My dad's calling me home for dinner. Since you're here, please help teach Nancy how to drive."

Lilian left as she spoke, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from our line of vision.

Douglas explained, "Her father is the best driving instructor here."

I understood immediately.

After all, there was no way normal citizens like us could get access to such a big training area.

Douglas then redirected the conversation back to me. "Let's talk about you. Nancy, Stack will also be attending tomorrow's party.

"Their company has set their sights on the domestic market. So, he's specially coming with his company's person in charge to look around. It's a rare opportunity."

My hope that had been extinguished suddenly flickered back to life by Douglas' words.

Observing my silence, Douglas asked again, "Didn't you always idolize him? Don't you want to meet him?"

I was a bit shocked. "How did you know that?"

Douglas smiled. "I know a lot more than that."

I suddenly didn't know what to say. Then, I heard him say, "Everyone knows how talented you are. Go and meet him. You can't just stay down and feel defeated because he rejected you, right?"

"He rejected me?" I was confused.
