It was the rush hour after work. No sooner had the Bentley that Mackenzie
was in passed a traffic light than a long line of cars formed behind her.
Hence, even though Quintus was only one traffic light away, he was instantly
left far behind.
Not only that, a massive traffic jam was building up ahead!
“D*mn it!” He slammed his hand against the steering wheel. Then,
abandoning his Land Rover, which cost over two million, he climbed out of the
car.
Emmanuel happened to be passing by on his electric scooter right at that
moment.
Quintus immediately stuck out an arm to block his path. “Hey, buddy! Could
you help me out?”
Fortunately, Emmanuel reacted quickly and managed to hit the brakes in
time. Otherwise, the impact would have sent this burly guy flying through the
air!
“What is it?” Emmanuel was a kind–hearted person, or else he would not have
helped Terence the other day. He felt Quintus would not have done
something so dangerous if not for some urgent matter.
“It’s like this. I finally got my hands on two concert tickets after much difficulty.
I planned on going with the woman I love, but I’m stuck in traffic. Could you
help me to catch up to that Bentley in front?” Quintus replied frankly while
pointing toward the intersection up ahead.
Given the heavy traffic conditions, it would be a piece of cake for an electric
scooter to catch up to the car.
Emmanuel was torn as he had been on his way to pick up his wife at Terence
Group.
Noticing his hesitation, Quintus quickly fished out the keys to his Land Rover
and held them out toward him. “Here! I’ll give you my Land Rover in exchange
for your electric scooter.”
Emmanuel was flabbergasted. What the heck? Did I strike the lottery today? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Exchanging my electric scooter that costs a couple thousand for an all–new
Land.Rover?
Nonetheless, he was not one to have an itching palm and replied, “I’ll pass on
exchanging our vehicles. Just hop on. I’ll help you go after the car.”
“Thanks, buddy!” With that, Quintus jumped onto the back of the scooter
easily.
Emmanuel was surprised by his agility. It looks like he’s retired from the army,
just like me.
A split second later, Quintus was the one exclaiming in astonishment. That
was because Emmanuel was actually maneuvering the scooter with one
hand while using his free hand to make a phone call. On top of that, he can
still drive the scooter steadily. That’s some mad skills!
-Needless to say, Emmanuel was calling Mackenzie to let her know that he
might be late by half an hour.
“That’s okay. Drive slowly. I’ve left the office early.”
After hearing her reply, he no longer had anything to worry about and
increased his speed to give chase.
Alas, just as he was about to catch up to the Bentley, the road ahead cleared
up, and the car quickly sped off. There was no way an electric scooter could
possibly keep up.
Even so, Emmanuel was determined. Going full throttle, he took a back road
and continued the pursuit.
Through the rearview mirror, Wally noticed they were being followed, and
what he saw shocked him. “Ms. Quillen, I think Mr. Lowe is trying to catch up to
us on his scooter with Mr. Lenoir.”
“What?”
Mackenzie lifted her gaze abruptly. She was also stunned upon looking in the
rearview mirror and seeing Emmanuel on his electric scooter with Quintus
behind him. Emmanuel, that id*ot! Was he a pig in his past life? Why is he
giving another man a ride to chase down his wife? How clueless can he get?
Emmanuel even stretched out a hand and shouted from behind, “Stop the
car! Hurry up and stop the car!”
“Ms. Quillen, should we pull over?” Wally enquired. He had no idea Emmanuel
was unaware the woman in the car was his wife.
“Don’t stop. We’re changing our destination. I want to go to the branch office.
Shake them off,” she instructed.
Wally may not know this, but I can clearly tell from Emmanuel’s expression
that he doesn’t know I’m in this car. He just wants to help Quintus. I wonder
what sort of incentive Quintus offered him. However, I must say those two
grown men squeezed together on top of a small electric scooter is a rather
unpleasant sight!
