Chapter 16: Why Is She in Your Car?

Yup, that’s right. Voluntarily.

Before Claire could react, the Lamborghini’s window was already winding down. She bent down and took a glance inside. The driver was a handsome man, and he was also a stranger.

Claire hesitated at first, but when the corner of her eye took note of the time, she could not be bothered. She lightly knocked on the car door. “I’m sorry, but… Do you think you can give me a ride?”

“Hop on!” The driver was oddly straightforward. “It’s a pleasure to give a beauty like you a ride.”

Claire was overjoyed and quickly got into the car. “To Kens Corporation. Thank you!”

“What a coincidence. I’m heading there…” The stranger suddenly paused and continued, “I mean toward that area. So, it’s on the way.”

Claire initially felt bad for troubling him, but instantly felt relieved after hearing his words. “This is fate! Can I have your name and phone number? I’ll treat you to a meal another time.”

“My name is Caleb Davis. As for a meal… I don’t think that’s necessary. I hate socializing and that sort of thing. Your thanks will be more than enough.”

Claire smiled at him. “You’re such an interesting person.”

Caleb nodded, stepped on the accelerator, and focused ahead.

‘So, this is Asher’s wife. She looked so adorable with those clear, bright eyes. Of course, her figure… There’s nothing to pick on.’

Caleb knew that Asher would let his wife work in the company some time ago, and he tried to find out the exact date and time. Today, he deliberately hung around the area, and as he expected, Claire did rush out of the mansion in a hurry.

Asher was indeed a man of his words–when he said he would treat her equally, he did it with no trace of empathy. He did not even bother to give her a car even though she stayed in such a remote, high-end residential area.

Thank God his curiosity led him here to just steal a glance at what Mrs. Kens looked like. Fortunately, he got the chance to lend her a hand and give her a ride.

There were three more minutes left to nine when Caleb’s car stopped in front of the Kens Corporation building.

Once the car came to a halt, Claire already opened the car door and was stepping out. As she got down the car, she said, “Thank you so much. I’m going to be late, so I hope we can see each other again. Bye.”

Just when she completed her sentence, Claire already dashed up the stairs and ran into the building.

She did not notice that not far away, a car was also parked by the side. It was Asher who was just about to leave the building.

Asher noticed her.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time, then glanced at the office building. Claire had already disappeared.

The secretary was holding a pile of folders when she asked softly, “Mr. Kens, did you leave anything behind?”

“Wait a minute.”

Asher said as he raised his hand and closed the car door. He then walked toward Caleb’s car and tapped on the car window.

As the window winded down, Caleb was touching his chin when he looked at Asher. “Morning, Mr. Kens.”

“Why is she in your car?” Asher had his arms crossed as he asked right away, without returning the greeting.

Caleb withdrew his hands from the steering wheel and popped them on the door. “I was on the way, so I gave her a ride.”

Asher frowned deeply. “Your apartment is on the West side of Melford. She stays on the East side, so how are you on the way?”

“Asher, you’re so boring. This is just a trivial matter, so don’t be bothered. I was just curious about the wife you hid away for four years. I went purely because I was curious.”

“Have you seen enough?”

Caleb nodded. “Enough. When she was in my car, all I did was look at how pretty she is.”

Asher turned around and left without an expression on his face. “Tonight at eight, dinner with the director of the National Land Agency. The location is at the Kens Royal Hotel. Show up on time..”
