“You!” Hera was clearly caught off guard that the driver had the nerve to talk back to her.
She yanked off her sunglasses, just about ready to snap back at him when the driver got a good look at her through the rearview mirror.
“Oh, it’s you?” said the driver.
“Who the hell are you? Do I know you?” Hera’s tone was arrogant as though she was naturally above him.
The driver reminded her, “Remember yesterday? You had me tail a cab and park outside some ancestral hall for half the day, and you refused to leave. I wasted a ton of gas just idling there with the A/C on because of you.”
Hera’s face turned red, then pale. She did not expect Luca to randomly call a cab and end up with the same driver from yesterday.
Luca also found it a funny coincidence and glanced back. Hera’s expression was awful.
The driver, being a straight shooter, did not hold back. “Huh. Funny how you didn’t complain about my car smelling bad yesterday, but today, all of a sudden, it stinks? After I dropped you off, my next passenger actually complained that my car smelled too much like perfume. Two people in a row complained, so I even went and got it cleaned.”
Hera’s expression darkened even more. “What, you trying to shake me down for money now? Fine, when we get there, I’ll pay you. It’s just a car wash and some gas money. I can afford it!”
“Oh? So, you’re not getting out of the car now?” teased the driver.
Hera frowned and reminded him, “We booked this ride through an app. You'd better watch yourself, or I’ll file a complaint!”
“I booked this ride, sir. As long as you get us to our destination safely, there won’t be any bad reviews.” Luca reminded Hera that this ride had absolutely nothing to do with her.
“Luca, you…” Hera was furious that Luca was siding against her.
“Lady, at least you’ve got some sense.” The driver chuckled.
The two of them completely ignored Hera, who was fuming in the back seat. The driver focused on the road while Luca casually replied to messages on her phone.
All of them were from Johann.
“Who are you texting now? Some guy?” Hera saw her expression and immediately asked.
Luca glanced back at her. “A doctor. Want to take a look, Ms. Sanchez?”
Hera knew Luca was doing it on purpose. Just as she was about to say yes, the driver casually chimed in, “Damn, you’re kinda possessive. Don’t tell me you actually like her?”
“Like her? No way!” Hera immediately denied it.
Luca put her phone away.
Soon, the cab pulled up to the hospital, and Luca paid through the app.
Hera scoffed, pulled out 200 dollars, and tossed the bills at the driver. “That should cover a few car washes for you.”
Without waiting for a response, she pushed open the door and got out.
The driver clicked his tongue but pocketed the money without hesitation.
Luca led Hera into the hospital and gave the staff her name. The receptionist, having clearly been informed in advance, greeted her with extra enthusiasm.
“Ms. Craw, please fill out this form,” the receptionist explained. “Since you don’t have a prior record with us, we need to complete your file first.”
“Alright.” Luca handed the form to Hera. “Ms. Sanchez, fill this out.”
The receptionist immediately understood that the person coming for the check-up was brought over by Luca and turned her attention to Hera, speaking to her even more warmly.
