I changed into a black dress that was past knee-length. It was conservative but still professional.
As I had not driven for a long time, I planned on driving there by myself.
Keith was Theo's assistant, after all, so I asked him to go to the company first.
As I traveled along the congested road, I suddenly thought about another road that could lead to Grant Corporation. Although it was a long detour, it was located in the suburbs of North Ring Road, and there were fewer people and cars there. Hence, I thought it would be a much easier road to take.
As I thought about it, I changed my direction and got on North Ring Road.
It was indeed much easier to drive here. There were only a few cars on the wide road, but I was driving much slower. Once the car behind me overtook me, I was the only car left.
As I was listening to a song, I drove leisurely and noticed there was a car behind me. I thought to myself that since I was not driving fast, I drove a little to the side so that the car could overtake me.
However, the car did not seem to have the same idea.
I glanced at the black car behind with my rearview mirror, and its speed remained constant. It was following me closely from behind, making me feel slightly uneasy.
I frowned slightly and sped up. At the same time, the car behind seemed to be speeding up as well.
Just like that, I knew that they were following me.
Thinking of the car accident years ago, I grew more apprehensive. My grip on the steering wheel subconsciously grew tighter.
Feeling solemn, I tried to keep myself calm and increase my speed. The scenery outside the window receded faster and faster. I kept an eye on the car behind me, and the person was also accelerating.
I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead, but it was not the time to lower my guard. I gritted my teeth and sped up even more.
There was a turn in front of me. I stepped on the clutch and harshly turned the steering wheel to the left. Even though there was a car ahead, I gathered up my courage and overtook it by a tiny margin.
