Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 327

Janina was dragging her suitcase out of the hotel lobby when a minivan pulled up right in front of her.

The driver leaned out the window and called to her, "Miss, need a ride? Where are you headed?"

Janina had just opened her ride-hailing app. She looked up and saw it was a shuttle van with bold letters on the side: [HOTEL-AIRPORT SHUTTLE.]

These types of vans usually partnered with hotels for long-distance transport. As long as you paid, they'd take you anywhere, even thousands of miles away.

Since a ride was right here, there was no need to wait for another car. Janina nodded. "To the airport."

"You got it. Hop in," the driver said with a grin.

Seeing her suitcase, the driver got out enthusiastically to help her put it in the trunk.

The sky was overcast, a heavy, oppressive gray.

The air clung to her skin, heavy and damp.

Even with the air conditioning on in the car, it was hard to shake off the muggy feeling.

A major storm was clearly on its way.

The forecast called for rain by late afternoon, then a tropical storm rolling in overnight with sheets of rain.

In the car, the driver was very talkative, chatting away about the local culture of Seacrest—the best places to visit, the most affordable restaurants, and how the tourist traps ripped people off.

Janina listened, offering a brief response now and then.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the airport.

The driver got out again to retrieve Janina's suitcase from the trunk.

Before she left, he handed her a business card. "Next time you're in Seacrest and need a car, give me a call. I can take you anywhere. There isn't a place in this city I don't know."

The driver was slightly heavyset, and he flashed a big, toothy grin.

The card had a name printed on it: Aiden, followed by a phone number.

Janina found the driver not only friendly but also seemingly kind-hearted. She nodded. "Okay, thank you."

Rebooking was the only real choice.

After rebooking her flight, Janina left the airport terminal, booked a hotel online, and prepared to get a cab.

Just then, in a black minivan parked nearby, two men were watching her through the window.

"Looks like God is on our side. We've been tailing her for days, and now we finally have our chance."

"Cut the chatter. The real issue is how to get her into the van. This broad seems pretty sharp."

"Don't worry. She'll come with us."

As the two men were talking, Janina had already walked toward the curb, having just booked a car on her app.

At that moment, the window of the black minivan rolled down, and a voice called out to her, "Miss Holt, our boss sent me to pick you up. Get in, I'll take you to your hotel."

Janina looked toward the source of the voice and saw a burly, unfamiliar man in the driver's seat.

Hearing him say his boss had sent him, she instinctively assumed he meant the director from the supplier company.
