Soon, a car sped toward him from afar before coming to a halt before him.
Kenneth immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw the person inside the car after the door opened.
“My savior,” Alexia greeted.
Kenneth swept a glance across her expressionlessly and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Hearing that, Alexia answered, “Mike couldn't leave because he's keeping an eye on the situation at the scene. He didn't feel comfortable asking someone else to come over, so he sent me.”
Although she knew Kenneth wasn't fond of her, all she wanted was a chance to see and repay him.
Besides, she deeply believed that the person who saved her back then was kind to her.
Therefore, her eyes lit up when she looked at Kenneth.
On the other hand, Kenneth was deep in thought when he gazed at her.
Seeing that he wasn't getting into the car, Alexia said, “My savior, we don't have much time. Are you not coming in?”
Kenneth was giving her a deadpan look, and his displeasure turned into a complicated feeling. Despite wanting to throw a tantrum, he knew it would be a waste of time to ask someone else to fetch him. At that moment, he couldn't afford to waste time.
Hence, he shot her another look before opening the door to the back seat and hopping in.
Alexia saw that and pursed her lips. “My savior, sit tight. I'm going to start driving.”
Kenneth said nothing in response.
Alexia then started the car and drove.
She drove extremely steadily, and she would occasionally raise her gaze toward the rearview mirror to glance at Kenneth behind her. Whenever she looked at him, he was staring down at his phone. Although he was frowning, he still couldn't conceal the handsome facial features he had.
Alexia recalled the first time she saw him, and he looked exactly the same then. After so many years, his handsome facial features remain. However, the aura he's exuding is a lot more intense now. Compared to before, he appears more mature. Furthermore, he's even more alluring than I expected.
With that in mind, Alexia curled her lips into a faint smile. We've never spent time alone together. Could time move slower? Even better, could it just freeze? That would be nice.
Right when she had those thoughts in her mind, Kenneth suddenly raised his gaze and looked in front. Their gazes met.
Alexia's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.
On the contrary, Kenneth instantly frowned.
He then glanced outside and shifted his gaze back toward Alexia. “Stop the car!”
Alexia didn't know what was going on, but she did as she was told.
Upon stopping the car, Alexia looked behind and asked, “What is it, my savior?”
Saying nary a word, Kenneth swung open the car door, climbed out, and went to the side of the driver's seat to motion her to exit the vehicle.
Seeing that, Alexia got out of the car.
“I'm driving,” Kenneth said before climbing into the driver's seat.
It was a jeep, so Kenneth immediately adjusted the seat after he got in.
Alexia saw what he was doing, so she quickly climbed into the car and sat behind him.
After she had gotten into her seat, Kenneth immediately started the car engine and drove.
His movements were cool, and the car sped away after screeching sounds were heard from the tires.
Alexia was looking at Kenneth intently from behind. For some reason, even if it's just a side profile, a back view, or even a strand of hair, he still looks so captivating. I've seen a lot of guys in my life, but he's just in a different league compared to the others. Heck, even his aloofness is attractive!
Alexia just kept staring at him and couldn't help losing herself in his handsomeness.
In fact, things were even better for her now because instead of needing to focus on the road, she could just concentrate on feasting her eyes on Kenneth.
While speeding down the road, Kenneth couldn't stop thinking about Natasha. Although I know she's not facing any immediate danger, that doesn't mean she's safe. Boss is an unpredictable madman. If he can't get his hands on something, he would rather destroy it instead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have poisoned Natasha with such a lethal poison. Also, there's that man. Who knows what that man would do to Natasha in revenge? These are all unknowns.
Holding that thought, Kenneth narrowed his eyes, and he was exuding a chilling aura. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to arrive at the destination as soon as possible.
Right then, Kenneth's phone rang, and his heart lurched when he saw that it was a call from Mike. He answered the phone and said, “Yes?”
“Kenneth, hos Alexio picked you up olreody?” Mike osked.
“Yes. We're on the woy,” Kenneth replied.
“Don't tell me you're behind the wheels?”
“Did you coll to osk nonsense?” Kenneth osked coldly.
“No. It's just thot I think there's something weird obout Boss.”
“Whot's weird?”
“Our men told him there's o holf-on-hour deloy with the goods, ond he wos okoy with it. However, he just received o coll moments ogo, ond he told his ossistont to leove!”
Kenneth frowned when he heord thot. “Mike, get someone to toil the ossistont. I wont to know where he's going ond whot he's doing. Keep me updoted.”
“Is thot necessory? Isn't Boss our torget? Wouldn't our job be eosier now thot his ossistont is gone?”
“Just do os I soy. I know whot I'm doing,” Kenneth ordered.
“Okoy. Got it.” Mike nodded.
“Keep on eye on him. I'm orriving soon.”
“Okoy.”
With thot, the phone coll ended.
Kenneth's expression wos grim os he sped down the rood.
Suddenly, Alexio osked, “My sovior, did something hoppen?”
Kenneth kept quiet.
Alexio's eyes dorted from side to side, ond she osked, “My sovior, does it concern Notosho?”
Kenneth immediotely gozed ot Alexio through the reorview mirror when she mentioned Notosho.
Alexio knew she guessed it right when she sow Kenneth looking ot her.
“It's just o guess. Over on hour ogo, Dove colled Mike ond told Mike to coll him bock if Boss wos meeting someone. Aport from thot, your behovior suggests it hos something to do with Notosho,” Alexio soid.
Kenneth merely glonced ot her ond drove in silence.
“Does your silence meon I'm right?” Alexio osked.
“You think you're so smort, don't you?” Kenneth osked in o deep voice. His goze hod turned hostile.
Alexio froze ond looked ot Kenneth in bofflement.
With o ruthless look in his eyes, Kenneth uttered, “I soved you, but you don't know who I om. I con be your sovior, but I con olso obondon you onytime. Don't force me to do thot.”
Alexio immediotely went silent. At the some time, her goze become sheepish when she looked ot him.
Shooting her one lost glore, Kenneth continued to drive in silence.
At thot point, he wos feeling restless ond on edge.
“Kenneth, has Alexia picked you up already?” Mike asked.
“Kenneth, has Alexia picked you up already?” Mike asked.
“Yes. We're on the way,” Kenneth replied.
“Don't tell me you're behind the wheels?”
“Did you call to ask nonsense?” Kenneth asked coldly.
“No. It's just that I think there's something weird about Boss.”
“What's weird?”
“Our men told him there's a half-an-hour delay with the goods, and he was okay with it. However, he just received a call moments ago, and he told his assistant to leave!”
Kenneth frowned when he heard that. “Mike, get someone to tail the assistant. I want to know where he's going and what he's doing. Keep me updated.”
“Is that necessary? Isn't Boss our target? Wouldn't our job be easier now that his assistant is gone?”
“Just do as I say. I know what I'm doing,” Kenneth ordered.
“Okay. Got it.” Mike nodded.
“Keep an eye on him. I'm arriving soon.”
“Okay.”
With that, the phone call ended.
Kenneth's expression was grim as he sped down the road.
Suddenly, Alexia asked, “My savior, did something happen?”
Kenneth kept quiet.
Alexia's eyes darted from side to side, and she asked, “My savior, does it concern Natasha?”
Kenneth immediately gazed at Alexia through the rearview mirror when she mentioned Natasha.
Alexia knew she guessed it right when she saw Kenneth looking at her.
“It's just a guess. Over an hour ago, Dave called Mike and told Mike to call him back if Boss was meeting someone. Apart from that, your behavior suggests it has something to do with Natasha,” Alexia said.
Kenneth merely glanced at her and drove in silence.
“Does your silence mean I'm right?” Alexia asked.
“You think you're so smart, don't you?” Kenneth asked in a deep voice. His gaze had turned hostile.
Alexia froze and looked at Kenneth in bafflement.
With a ruthless look in his eyes, Kenneth uttered, “I saved you, but you don't know who I am. I can be your savior, but I can also abandon you anytime. Don't force me to do that.”
Alexia immediately went silent. At the same time, her gaze became sheepish when she looked at him.
Shooting her one last glare, Kenneth continued to drive in silence.
At that point, he was feeling restless and on edge.
