The next day.
The day Evelyn had been waiting for finally arrived. At last, she was going to Grayenfall, a big city tucked between hills and rivers, about two hours from Willowcrest.
She had been planning this trip a few days ago. She even convinced herself she could drive on her own, just like she always did.
But, of course, that dream had been crushed the moment Liam caught wind of her plan.
"Lady Boss, absolutely not," Liam had declared firmly, in that polite tone of his. "Allow me to drive. You can rest. I promise I won't follow you around once we arrive. Nor will I ask questions."
Evelyn narrowed her eyes at him, suspicious. 'Oh, sure. I refuse him now; he might call Axel.... right?'
She didn't have a choice but to agree. After all, Liam was like a polite but immovable wall; one could push, shove, and argue, but in the end, the wall didn't budge.
