Bonnie had already fastened her seat belt and even closed the car door. That was quick!
"Get off," With a brisk authority, Sebastian said.
Bonnie grabbed the seat belt tight, "No. Since I don't have a car, I'll take Rupert's!"
She paused for seconds and continued, "I'm filthy and stupid. I don't want to cost you a lot of money to clean your seat!"
Sebastian was silent but with a shade of anger on his face.
Rupert was in an awkward position. Jesus! Why he was involved when they were bickering?
He really wanted to beg Bonnie to get off his car, but before he could say anything, Sebastian stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.
It stung. But she quickly turned to Rupert with a squeezed smile. "Mr. Robertson, I'm sorry. Could you please take me to Riverine Street?"
"Well...Sure." Rupert nodded.
Since Sebastian had left anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to give Annie a ride. However, when he dropped Bonnie off at the destination, two gangsters rushed up to puncture his tyre and scratch his car hood with a knife.
Rupert agonized over his limited-edition sports car.
Bonnie was shocked, but obviously, it was Sebastian's order.
