“Boss, is that the woman? Do you want me to teach her a lesson first?”
A man with a scarred face advanced, exuding a palpable air of aggression, his hands rubbing together as if poised to strike. It appeared as though he would swiftly deliver a fatal blow to Elisa upon Mr. Carrerra's command.
Elisa had no doubt about it as his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Mr. Carrerra raised his hand to stop him, patting him on the chest.
“Hey, no need for such hostility. These two are my guests. Haven't I taught you the proper way to treat guests?”
After Mr. Carrerra finished speaking, he gave Rachel what he thought was a kind smile.
Little did he know that it was quite haunting.
He made a welcoming gesture. “Please, get into the car.”
The burly men also returned to their respective vehicles one by one, leaving two behind to guard the duo and urging them to get into the car.
Halfway through, Elisa stopped in her tracks.
The two people following behind her immediately became alert and looked at her.
Elisa blinked her innocent eyes. “You two should get into the car first. I prefer to sit by the window because I get car sick.”
The men exchanged glances, and one of them snarled menacingly, “No playing tricks.”
Elisa's expression conveyed her helplessness. “I'm not trying to deceive you. I genuinely suffer from car sickness.”
Even though Rachel wasn't certain when Elisa began experiencing car sickness, their enduring friendship enabled her to provide strong support for Elisa, even when she wasn't entirely sure of her friend's intentions.
