"Are you borrowing me a car or not?" I asked persistently.
Even without turning around, I could imagine the faint smile on Aaron's face.
No matter what he had in his mind, I would not go along with him. Although it had been an eventful day so far, Hendrix was far more important to me. As long as I couldn't make sure that he was safe, I wouldn't be able to feel at peace.
Freya lent me the most expensive car generously. As soon as I got the key, I went out to get the car. Once I started the engine, Aaron knocked on the window from the outside.
I looked at him impatiently. "Aaron, can we talk about this another time? I really have something to do today."
"Don't worry, I won't get in your way," Aaron said. He leaned against the car and said, "Alas, if I'd known that you were such a workaholic, I wouldn't have established the firm for you. Now, it's rare for you to go on a vacation, and here you are, rushing back in a borrowed car."
I did not know what to say to that.
Why did he sound like a spoiled brat?
Men were indeed weird creatures.
I couldn't be bothered with him any longer, so I pulled away and headed directly to the hospital where Serene was.
I had no idea that the moment I left, Aaron had made a phone call.
I rushed into the hospital and entered the same elevator. I went up to the same floor I did previously and headed to the same basement. I had all the routes at the back of my mind.
This time however, there weren't any bodyguards present to block my entry. There was no one in sight and I was free to explore the floor.
I pushed down on the door handle and went in.
An empty, pitch-black room? What was going on?
