Emily felt her headache getting stronger and stronger.
She didn't want to be late, but things went wrong. Now the only thing she could do was to pray that she could find a way to go back to the hotel as soon as possible!
Just as she was praying silently, she heard a sudden screech of brake.
Emily leaned forward involuntarily. She reacted in time. She leaned against the front seat and steadied herself.
Having a bad feeling, Emily asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Holding the steering wheel with both hands, Simon raised his chin slightly and said slowly, "Well, it seems that there is something wrong with the car!"
"What?!" Emily's eyes popped.
"You must be kidding me!"
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Emily was dumbfounded. Simon got off the car. She came back to her senses after a long while, also got off the car, lifted her dress hem, and walked over
with a panicked face.
Simon leaned over at the opened car hood, supporting himself with one arm and trying to fix something.
Emily didn't know things about cars, so she could only stand there and wait anxiously. After about two minutes, Simon put down the hood, flicked his finger, and came to a conclusion, "We can't go anymore. The car broke down!"
Emily was petrified. She looked at him with blank eyes and asked, "What should we do now?"
"There is nothing we can do!" Simon leaned against the car door.
Seeing that Emily pursed her lips with her eyes widened, Simon crossed his arms on his chest and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this? My car was sent to the 4S shop. I borrowed this car from my friend. Who would have known that it would suddenly go wrong? And I don't know what happened. I can't repair it!"
Emily raised her hand to hold her forehead, feeling troubled.
When she was trying to figure a way out, he saw his index finger tapping on the wrist plate and said slowly, "It's almost seven o'clock now. We are trapped here. Unless we have wings, otherwise we can't go back!"
Emily pouted.
Although she didn't know the exact time, she could figure it out by looking at the sky where the sun was going down in the distance. However, when Simon said these words, his look was lazy, and his tone sounded indifferent!
Emily closed her eyes for a bit, not wanting to argue with him. She reached out to him and said, "Give me your phone. I need to call Calvin and ask him to pick me up!"
She knew that she messed up. But at least, she could try to solve the problem instead of waiting.
Unexpectedly, Simon shrugged and said, "I forgot to bring it."
Emily glared at him.
His words finally provoked her. The anger that she had been suppressing all the time now was released. She was furious now.
Even if she were an idiot, she could understand what Simon was trying to do!
Thinking of these coincidences and the things Simon did, Emily had a feeling that she couldn't bear it anymore. Her emotions finally exploded. She glared at him, gritted her teeth, and said, "Simon, you did it on purpose!" "You are right. I did it on purpose!" Simon did not deny it.
Emily's eyes widened. Feeling angrier, she said, "You..."
Simon put down his hands from his chest in his pockets. Leaning still against the car, he slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "Emily, I have told you that night that I made a decision!"
