Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 249

After the dinner party, Ashley playfully tugged on Nathan's sleeve, pouting just a bit. “Nathan, can I ride with you?”

Nathan’s face was as unreadable as a poker face.

Nathalie just shook her head, a bit exasperated. In another life, Nathan and Ashley had been the picture-perfect couple, gracing TV interviews hand-in-hand and winning over everyone’s hearts. But this time around, Ashley seemed to be doing all the chasing.

Seeing Nathan’s cluelessness, Nathalie jumped in to smooth things over. “Ashley, why don't you join us in the car?”

Ashley’s face lit up, “Thanks a bunch!” She wasted no time and hopped into the back seat.

Nathan appeared indifferent. He headed straight for the driver’s seat, leaving Ashley’s smile hanging. Nathalie quickly dashed over, whispering, “Isn’t it a bit unusual for a CEO to drive? Let me handle it.”

Nathan raised an eyebrow. “You sure you’re up for it?”

Nathalie had just recently earned her driver's license and still felt a bit anxious behind the wheel. But she knew how rare it was to find Regan to help and didn’t want to mess up. “I’ve got this.”

Nathan hesitated briefly, then tossed her the keys. He settled into the passenger seat.

With a deep breath, Nathalie started the car. She carefully worked the pedals, and the car crept forward like a hesitant snail. Determined not to show any weakness, she focused intently, trying her best not to give Ashley any reason to doubt Nathan’s decision to hire her.

Nathan, however, couldn’t resist a little dig, “Nathalie, can we maybe go a tad faster? At this pace, we'll hit Pulse Technologies sometime next year.”
