She met charity who was still awestruck by the sight before her. In the same instance grandmother made her way through to the door and met Elise. She opened her arms wide for a hug, she had to celebrate this special moment with her. "Congratulations dear, you deserve all these and many more," Caren said. "Oh grandmother, you won't believe how I got this car, but before that lets get in and have a feeling of it,’ Elise said happily and led her grandmother to the car and opened the codriver seat.

Hell, you do not even put your boss in the eye after work. Ellen Saline looked at the interior of the small POLO, which had not changed from before, "Elisa, why don’t you change your car?" "The car is still fine, why should I change it?" Elisa White did not understand. "It does not fit your identity as William Brich's wife." "You don’t need to think about that.

"Mr. Blackwell is sending a driver. You won't need your vehicle at the estate,everything you require is on the property, and your time off can be arranged with advance notice. If you prefer to keep your car, there's storage available in the garage." "Oh. Okay. Thank you." Elena looked at her beat-up Honda. Keeping it meant insurance payments she couldn't afford. "Actually, I'll probably sell it. I need the money." "As you wish. The driver will be there shortly." Ten minutes later, a sleek black car pulled up.

"Whose car is that?" Jared asked me as he pulled into the driveway of my 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home. I was talking to Kelly, and we had just dropped off my parents at their house. Jared was dropping me off at my house and then would drop off Kelly last because she lived closer to where he lived.

My breath caught in my throat and my heart began to pound against my chest, "uh, that's my boss's car," I answered slowly as I turned to look back at Jared and Kelly who had on a huge smile while Jared looked unbothered by it.

“Kids these days. Alright, hop in.” They scrambled into the backseat, legs swinging as they tried to sit still. Elias showed the cab man the business card like he was on some top secret mission. The drive was full of chatter, most of it coming from Elias, who kept pointing at things on the road and making sound effects like he was in a spy movie. Ethan just kept checking the time and biting his lip. Finally, the cab pulled up in front of a massive silver-and-glass building with “BIC ENTERPRISES” displayed in bold at the top.

“You know Carter Vale?” “Yes, Eli, he’s your professor. Tall. Cold. Sexy in that I-could-kill-you way.” “Yeah, him.” I sat up. “He owns CarTer.” There was a beat of silence.

I scrambled, putting it back to my ear. “Why are you screaming?!” “ELI!” she shouted. “You mean CarTer—as in the CarTer law firm that’s literally everyone’s wet dream to work at?

She smiled and said, "So you do have a conscience after all." Wilbur chuckled in response. Skyler was their driver that night because Jose was still in recuperation. "Bro, you're going too?" Skyler asked as he started the car. Wilbur nodded and said, "Yeah. Thank you for taking care of Faye all this while." "Don't mention it."
