Liz brushed off Remington's hand like she'd been zapped, straightening up but with the tips of her ears hidden beneath her messy hair warming slightly. She couldn't tell if the blush was from the awkward encounter or his words just moments ago. But she was definitely not pleased with her reaction.
Frowning, she looked up to stare at the back of Cedric's head, about to demand an explanation when he glanced in the rearview mirror, his voice laced with panic and apology.
"Ma'am, I'm so sorry about that. Some rich kid in a sports car was weaving through traffic like a maniac, nearly caused us to rear-end him twice. My apologies, are you alright?"
Seeing the genuine worry and regret in Cedric's eyes, Liz couldn't help but feel like she'd accidentally hopped into a dodgy ride.
Before she could say anything, Remington coldly interjected, "If you can't drive, consider your bonus gone!"
Cedric trembled, "Yes, sir."
What else could Liz say? Fortunately, they were slowly pulling into an upscale neighborhood. Soon, the car stopped in front of a three-story villa. Remington got out, "This is it. It's chilly outside; stay in the car. I'll go have a look."
After telling Liz, he closed the car door behind him. Liz turned to look at the villa. There were lights on the first floor, but she couldn't see any cars parked around. She wasn't sure if Cassius had brought Yolanda here.
Wrapping her trench coat tighter around her, she followed suit and got out of the car. Whether Yolanda was here or not, Liz was done with sketchy rides.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
