The squabble between the young couple inevitably dragged him, this innocent party, into the mess!
Robert Stephens remained silent, responding with action instead.
He reached over, picked Charlotte Smith up from the seat, tucked her under his arm, walked to the backseat, opened the car door, and tossed her inside.
Charlotte, furious, wanted to jump out of the car.
She reached for the car door, only to hear Robert Stephens coldly command, "Nicholas, lock it."
With a "click," the car door locked instantly.
At the other door, the man blocked the entrance, first tossing his suit jacket inside onto Charlotte Smith, then slowly sitting down beside her.
He leaned back in the seat, with long fingers unbuttoning the top of his collar, and gazing ahead, he instructed Nicholas Woods, "Drive."
Nicholas, upon receiving the order, didn't dare say more, immediately started the Lincoln, wishing he could speed straight to the western restaurant, away from this "crematorium" scene.
