Without a car of her own, Josephine could only hail a ride to the rural Tourmaline Estate.
Standing at the intersection, she hailed a cab.
After getting in the car, another figure suddenly approached from behind the car and pulled open the door. They climbed in to sit next to Josephine.
Josephine stared at Zayne with confusion in her eyes. "Are you stalking me, Zayne Severe?"
Zayne's neck stiffened. "Who, who, who's following you?"
He spared Josephine's curvy figure a disdainful gaze and gulped. The words he spoke were the complete opposite of the thoughts in his mind. "Who would want to stalk a flat-chested woman like you?"
Josephine raised a fist and began to hit Zayne. "I'm a D cup! What’s this condescending look you're giving m e?"
"D cup?" Zayne asked doubtfully. "I’d say C cup at most."
The taxi driver grew uncomfortable. "Cough cough, where would you two like to go?"
"Tourmaline Estate." "Eminent Limited"
Josephine glared at Zayne. "Be a gentleman. Ladies first."
Zayne pulled a face and pleaded, "But I'm in a rush. Can’t we go to Eminent first?"
Josephine relented. "Alright."
The car made a turn back toward Eminent Limited.
20 minutes later.
The taxi arrived at Eminent Limited.
Zayne pulled Josephine out of the vehicle with him by her hand. "Come down with me. I'll drive you to Tourmaline Estate when I'm done with the things I have to do."
Josephine hesitated, the voice in her head reminding her that Zayne was a married man and that she should keep her distance from him.
Yet her body seemed to move and follow him before she knew it.
