Chapter 10 Escape and Get Caught
There was an ATM machine opposite the community. Caroline put her bank card into it and looked at the numbers on the screen. Then she gritted her teeth and was determined to take out 2 thousand dollars.
Caroline took the money and called a taxi. After getting into the car, she found that she was eager to escape but didn't know where to go.
"Where to?" The taxi driver urged impatiently.
Hearing this, Caroline froze for a moment. She suddenly found that she had nowhere to go in such a big world.
"Will you go or not? Get out of my car if you don't go. I still have a business to do." The driver frowned and glared at Caroline. He thought, "What bad luck! The first business today is not going well."
"Sorry, I haven't decided where to go yet," Caroline said slowly. Facing the grumpy taxi driver, Caroline didn't retort but apologized humbly. It made Caroline look very cowardly.
There was a saying that friendly people were bullied and docile horses were ridden. When the taxi driver saw that Caroline was so cowardly, he was even more arrogant. Then the driver lost all his temper to Caroline for losing money in gambling today.
The driver pointed at Caroline's nose and swore, "You stopped me before making a decision. You're tricking me on purpose, aren't you? You are not properly brought up and civic-minded at all! Get out. Get out of my car now. Could you not keep me from making money? What bad luck! Why did I meet you today?"
The driver came down on Caroline like a ton of bricks. Caroline was not really cowardly, but three years in prison changed her temper.
Caroline lowered her eyes and then raised her head. She apologized slowly, "I'm sorry. I'll get out of the car right now." In fact, Caroline just wanted the taxi driver to give her a minute to think about where she should go.
But Caroline didn't expect that the driver obviously didn't want to pay much attention to her.
Hearing Caroline's words, the driver was stunned. He had been driving for more than ten years and never met such a wussy. Seeing Caroline open the door slowly, the driver suddenly raised his hand towards Caroline.
"No! Don't hit me!"
The driver was stunned, looking at the woman in the passenger seat holding her head in her arms and screaming in panic. Caroline still shouted, "No! Don't hit me!" The driver spat over the side and said, "Are you crazy? I just wanted to open the door! Bad luck! Why did I meet a lunatic today?"
Then the driver reached out to open the door. He said, "Beat it!" Maybe it was because the taxi driver felt unhappy about losing money, or because Caroline was easily bullied and wouldn't retaliate. The driver was even more impolite to Caroline and could even say such rude words.
Caroline couldn't walk fast. She got out of the car slowly, and the driver yelled again, "Don't dilly dally. Are you a cripple?"
Caroline was shocked. She raised her head very seriously and looked at the driver. Then Caroline corrected, "I'm just slow to move, not a cripple."
The driver was stunned and shouted, "Are you nuts?" Then he continued to drive Caroline. "Hurry up, it's really bad luck to meet you today. No wonder everything is not going well today. I lost so much money in gambling today!"
It was really easy to find fault with a person if one wanted to.
"Hey, pay me." The driver grabbed Caroline's wrist and stretched out his other hand toward Caroline. Caroline asked in confusion, "What?"
"Money."
"But you didn't take me to my destination." Caroline was even more puzzled.
