Rose, who was still on the highway, got more and more agitated. She was good-natured and seldom got angry.
However, what was happening really pissed her off. "Esteban, you missed another turn! Did you do that on purpose?
"Rose, I swear to God, I didn't. It was dark and I was driving too fast. I missed the turn before I could slow down. I'm really sorry."
Rose no longer believed him. Not only was he driving in the wrong direction, he'd missed several turns in a row. The point was, they were getting further and further away from the city. This whole thing was like a trap.
The so-called many classmates was actually only two people, and neither of them was anxious about going the wrong way.
Marina was still looking at her phone in the passenger seat. She didn't look worried at all.
She had warned Esteban several times to slow down, but he wouldn't listen to her. At his speed, they were gonna be on the highway all night.
A bad thought came into her mind. What if they did it on purpose?
But why? Rose didn't understand. What were they doing this for?
After being betrayed by family and friends, Rose was no longer that trustful.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts..."
"Rose, are you alright?" Marina heard her scream and turned to look at her.
"Marina, my stomach hurts. I have to go to the bathroom. Is there a services near here?"
"There's one up ahead. Hang in there. We'll be there soon."
There was a services two kilometres away. Esteban drove there.
Rose got out of the car and ran to the services, shouting, "I'll be right back."
"All right."
Esteban lit a cigarette and leaned against the car. Marina's expression changed as well. "Hey, aren't we all going home tonight?"
"Yes. Katie said we needed to keep Rose with us. Let's tell Rose we're out of gas."
"Esteban, you didn't fallen in love with Katie, did you?" Marina's face turned cold.
Esteban threw away the cigarette butt. "Don't you know who I love? You think I'd be her lover if it wasn't for a better life for you?"
Marina quickly apologized. "I'm sorry. But we already have a car now. When we have enough money to buy a house, will you leave her? You can't be her lover forever, can you? I'm afraid you're gonna fall for her."
"I won't. That old woman is nothing compared to you." Esteban took Marina into his arms and gave her a kiss.
Marina felt better. "In fact, Katie is only a few years older than me. She looks hot and feminine. I feel insecure thinking about your relationship with her."
Esteban comforted her. "I promise I won't fall in love with her. Marina, you're the only woman I want to marry."
"By the way, why did Katie ask us to keep Rose with us? Does she have a problem with Rose?"
"How would I know? Anyway, we just do whatever she says. Without her, how would I afford this car?"
"Ah, I wish I was rich..." Marina sighed.
