Leonel watched as Kendall drove off. She didn't have much time, and she was certain that she wouldn't bump into Dylan around the area, so she sped up a little while driving. However, she still slowed down during each turn as she didn't want to bump into someone else. She would have to do more than write a simple reflection if she were to get into another accident.
She was just thinking about that when a car came from the opposite direction at a breakneck speed. Huh. It seems like I'm not the only person who drives cars the way one would drive a plane. This person opposite me is doing the same thing. Both their vehicles missed each other by a few inches. Kendall tried to take a look at the driver while they passed one another, but she couldn't see the person's face at all. All she knew was that it was a female driver. Zoom! Their cars sped past each other.
"Kendall." Kendall felt as if she could hear someone calling her. It has to be a hallucination. Why would anyone here know who I am? She stepped on the gas and sped the car up with that thought.
Yasmine's car screeched as she jammed on the brakes. She had been going at high speed, so the car wheels made a loud noise when she slowed the car down. Fortunately, most of the highways in that area were wide and smooth to drive on. Furthermore, there were only a few cars around, so she couldn't resist the urge to speed. It felt so good to step on the accelerator!
It had been a while since she last sped—most city streets were filled with cars. She wouldn't dream of speeding in the city—it'd be a miracle just to not be caught in a jam. Once her car came to a halt, Yasmine lowered the window to stick her head out. Kendall's car had already turned into the size of an ant at this point. "Stupid b*tch. Didn't she hear me calling her?" Yasmine cursed. Then, she turned back to the wheel and pressed the gas to chase after Kendall.
Kendall was driving Kelly's expensive car. Although Yasmine's car was also powerful, she couldn't seem to chase after Kendall since Kendall had gotten a good start. "I should drive my private jet over next time," Kendall grumbled to herself. "She drives so quickly! She should watch out for accidents."
Yasmine didn't give up after that—she chased after Kendall for another 20 minutes. Soon enough, Kendall steered her car into the city, where the roads were packed. While Kendall slowed down, Yasmine sped her vehicle up and zoomed past countless cars just to get to Kendall's. "Kendall." Yasmine drove right next to Kendall's car before shouting at her.
This time, Kendall could hear a distinct voice calling for her. She turned around to find Yasmine in the car beside her, so she lowered her window and waved at Yasmine before rolling her window back up. Although there were a lot of cars on the road, it was a highway, and Kendall was in the fast lane. She couldn't afford to slow down, and she couldn't get distracted. That was why she didn't say much.
Yasmine was already furious throughout the process of chasing after Kendall. But, now that Kendall had just waved at her before rolling her window up, Yasmine felt her blood boil, and it was as though she would burst into flames at any given minute. So, she slammed her foot against the pedal and sped off while overtaking Kendall.
Kendall blinked before speaking to herself. "Is she trying to challenge me to a race?" she wondered. Kendall felt the urge to respond, but too many cars were on the road, and she was in the city. Moreover, if she agreed to a race and an accident happened because of it, then Dylan would probably turn her in himself.
With that thought, Kendall decided not to chase after Yasmine. Instead, she watched as Yasmine sped past her, but she made sure to keep the right amount of distance so that she could still see Yasmine's car in front of her. Both the vehicles maintained this distance as they traveled back to the city center.
Kendall didn't dare to drive Kelly's car over to Coleman Empire Holdings, so she returned to Parker Corporation first. Unfortunately, she had to return the car to Kelly as she couldn't allow Dylan to find out that she had borrowed the car for a short while.
Dylan, with a grim look on his face: "This is more than just a short while, darling!"
Yasmine was waiting for Kendall at the front entrance of Parker Corporation. She had stopped her car horizontally to block the way so that Kendall wouldn't be able to enter the building. Kendall had no choice but to stop her car and lower the window. She stared as Yasmine stormed over while shouting. "What does all of this mean, Miss Zorn?" Kendall asked.
"Get out of your car, Kendall," Yasmine ordered.
"Do you have something to say, Miss Zorn?" Kendall asked. She didn't get out of the car, and continued speaking as Yasmine got closer to her. "You look outraged, Miss Zorn. It seems like you're about to throw a tantrum. Who made you angry?" she said amicably.
"Stop acting dumb, Kendall. Only an arrogant woman from the countryside like you would have the guts to annoy me!" Yasmine hissed.
"Me? This is my first time meeting you today, Miss Zorn. How have I offended you? Can you move your car aside, Miss Zorn? I need to park my car, and I'm in a rush," Kendall replied. Dylan would send his men over to pick her up, and she was dead meat if they caught her driving a car. She couldn't expect them to keep her secret for her. They were still his loyal subordinates, no matter how much they respected her as his wife.
Kendall had no idea that Skye had already found out about her speeding. Skye had told Ronnie about it, and they were discussing whether to inform Dylan about this. Skye didn't want to do such a thing, but he had vowed to serve Yasmine, and she happened to be chasing after Kendall. So, Skye followed behind them while Yasmine was chasing after Kendall, and Skye struggled to keep up with his car. Although he was given a decent car, he couldn't seem to go as fast as the two ladies. He was so frustrated that he felt like crushing the steering wheel at one point.
"Are you in a rush to die or something? I'm not going to move until you get out of your car. You're not going to go in there until I release all my anger on you," Yasmine hissed.
Kendall frowned at the other woman's words. She was reminded of the incident that happened a day ago as she stared at Yasmine's stubborn face. "Are you still angry at me because of how I spoke to you when I picked up your call last night, Miss Zorn?"
"I thought you were a busy woman who couldn't remember such petty incidents, Miss Parker. I just want you to come out and slap yourself on the face 20 times. Slap yourself ten times on each cheek, and you can apologize to me a thousand times for me to forgive you. If you make me take action, things will be worse than just 20 slaps on your face. I'll cut your tongue off and feed it to the dogs," Yasmine warned.
Yasmine was an arrogant woman—everyone in Orapolis knew that Yasmine was the most egoistic person around. "…Do you know where you are now, Miss Zorn? How dare you be so arrogant here? Do you think your parents are here to protect you?" Kendall asked.
"Do you think I'm afraid just because I'm at Parker Corporation? If my parents knew how you treated me, they would have tied you up and forced you to get on your knees before me," Yasmine said pretentiously.
"Oh. That explains why you're so arrogant. It seems like it runs in the family, huh," Kendall commented.
Yasmine's face darkened at her cheeky remark. "I'll count to three, Kendall. If you don't get out of the car by then, I'm not going to play nice anymore. Do you think I'd be afraid to destroy your car before dragging you out of it?"
"Is that what you want to do? Go ahead. This is Kelly's car, so you can ruin it and buy a new one for her. She wants a new car, anyway. I guess she'll have to let the old one go before she gets a new one. I'm sure she'll be really appreciative of her best friend's actions," Kendall replied.
