In the end, Cecilia didn't know which button she pressed, but she was forced to take her hand out of the bag to grip the vase with both hands.
"Stay away from me, Larry!"
-
Noel had been driving for over six consecutive hours on the road from Richburgh to Jacroaof.
During this journey, he and Julian hadn't even stopped for the restroom to save time and reach Jacroaof more quickly.
"I can take over," Julian suggested, wanting to switch with Noel for a while.
Noel refused. "I'll continue."
In the past, he had driven continuously for two days and nights, eventually reaching the destination safely with stable and high-speed driving.
"As your assistant, I can't lack physical strength."
If it were in the past, Julian wouldn't have said anything.
But this time...
"Noel, let me take over."
Julian was restless in the back seat, and he was better off driving.
Noel was about to say something, but quickly nodded when he saw Julian's expression. "Okay."
At any time, Julian's wishes were a top priority for Noel, and he didn't forget that. He pulled over at a service area, took out his phone, and switched seats with Julian.
"Why did Cecilia call me?" Noel asked.
When Julian heard it, he asked, "Cecilia?"
"Yes." Noel didn't understand. He quickly put away his phone, clearly not concerned. "That young lady always has something to say. Maybe she wants to yell at me for being heartless and greedy for money."
