On the drive home, the car suddenly died. Uneasy, Jessie couldn’t remain composed. “Really? This had to happen this late at night?”
Frowning, Becky unfastened her seat belt and said, “Let me check it first.”
As she spoke, she got out of the car and popped the hood to see what was wrong.
Becky didn’t know much about cars, but it seemed that hers had broken down.
Jessie got out of the car and walked over to check. “Is something broken?”
Becky sighed. “Yes.”
Jessie was right about her guess.
She pouted. “What should we do now?”
“Call someone to fix it, of course.”
How could they spend the night there dressed like this?
Becky then took her phone out to call Talia.
Her reliable assistant answered her call promptly. Upon hearing about Becky’s plight, Talia said that she’d be there in fifteen minutes and a tow truck would arrive in about twenty minutes.
“Okay. Thank you, Talia.”
“No problem, Miss Ramos. Please take care, you and Miss Walker.”
Talia still remembered what happened last time. It wasn’t safe for two gorgeous women to be stranded by the road at night with a broken-down car.
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Becky went to the back seat, pulled out the warning sign, and put it behind the car.
As soon as she set up the warning sign, a Maserati pulled to a stop beside her.
The back window rolled down slowly, revealing Aiken’s charming face. He asked enthusiastically, “Becky, did your car break down? Do you need any help?”
Becky glanced at him indifferently, and from the corner of her eye, she could see the side profile of the man sitting next to Aiken. She smiled faintly and said, “No, thanks.”
“Don’t be a stranger, Becky. It’s clear you could use some help.”
“But I don’t like accepting help from others,” Becky said calmly, her smile unwavering.
Aiken was rendered speechless.
Suddenly, the cold man sitting in the car next to Aiken spoke up. “Drive.”
Aiken was taken aback. He frowned and pointed out, “Rory, their car broke down. We can’t just leave them.”
