THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE TWO ended when the two saw an incoming empty cab.

The asshat quickly raised his hand to stop the cab.

Laia expected the asshat to just enter the cab without saying another word (much like his girlfriend) but to her surprise, the asshat kept his eyes on her as the cab stopped in front of her house's gate.

"Thanks for taking care of me," The asshat even had the audacity to wink at her. "You'll make a good nurse."

Laia rolled her eyes as she watched the cab soon disappear from her view.
