Chapter 31

We left for work in Nicholas's car. What Ms. Maya said to me kept ringing in my head. Cassie was dropped off at her house. Now I was made to sit in the back seat with Nicholas. I didn't know what to say, and he was on his phone the entire ride. I was so eager to get out of the car because I felt claustrophobic. I just needed some air.

"Why do you seem so uncomfortable?" he asked, surprising me.

I gave him a confused look. "Huh?"

"Did I stutter?"

I huffed. "I don't know why you said that."

"Well, then," he rolled his eyes and retrieved something from his pocket. "Take this."

I saw a phone. It was an iPhone. He got me an iPhone. I was expecting an ordinary phone, but he got me an iPhone instead. I took it.

"Th...thank you, sir," I said stupidly.

He fought a smile. "Make sure you don't act stupid. The phone is being tracked, so you know."

I nodded. "I'll be on my best behavior."
