Finnley darted at her. “Of course.” Then he bent over to sit in the driver’s seat.
Linda sat in and buckled the seat belt. Excitedly, she explained, “If you have a girlfriend, I cannot sit in the passenger’s seat.”
Finnley didn’t respond, starting the engine.
A while later, Linda plucked up her courage to glance at him and added, “If you don’t have a girlfriend, I will be rude to sit in the backseat.”
She was testing if he was available.
“I don’t have so many rules.” Finnley stared ahead. “I prefer simplicity and comfort when socializing. You can sit in any empty seat you want.”
A smile blossomed across Linda’s face as she liked his answer.
Silence blanketed the car.
Linda pressed the car window, enjoying the night view outside in the night breeze to release the awkwardness.
At this moment, she felt so close to him, her heart hammering.
She found his car was indeed clean and tidy with a faint fragrance.
Linda liked him more and more, thinking he was a man leading a life of quality.
When they almost arrived at the destination, Finnley was suddenly enlightened and said, “By the way, the project profile in Lunt City is still in my apartment. Please give it to Mr. Marsh on my behalf tomorrow. I’ll go out for some personal errand and won’t go to work so early.”
“Oh. No problem.” Linda nodded in a daze, wondering how she could get the profile as it was in his apartment.
She was bugged but didn’t ask.
The car headed for the basement parking lot of Skyhigh Apartment Complex.
“Get down,” Finnley unbuckled his seat belt and reminded her gently.
Linda returned to her senses, realizing he was taking her to his apartment.
She hurriedly got off, feeling baffled, wondering if that was an accidental gain.
Finnley asked when shutting the door. “Will you follow me to my apartment, or shall I bring it to you?”
