CHAPTER 33

  HAILEY

  The rich smell of leather assaulted my senses as I took the passenger seat. I guessed Remy loved luxury. I was not into cars, but I was sure this one had cost a fortune. It was a sleek black convertible, and it was smaller than Percie’s.

  He assisted me with my seatbelt. Every time he came closer, I froze. There was something about Remy that I didn’t feel every time I was with Percie.

  Remy made me skeptical, no matter how good his intentions were.

  I swallowed hard as I looked at my side.

  “You’re gonna collapse if you keep on holding your breath. I don’t bite, Hailey.”

  “I-I know.” I swallowed again.

  “Are you cold?”?

  I shook my head. I didn’t know why I was shivering. Maybe because it was raining outside? I guessed I was not comfortable around him because it had nothing to do with the temperature inside his car but the chill of distrust.—this was the only reason I could come up with.
