Now, they were only a few inches apart.
“Is this okay?” Connor turned to look at her.
Camila nodded vigorously, her body tensing and leaning back as her heart pounded like it was at a rave, the loud thumps chaotically bouncing inside her.
Connor finally settled back into the passenger seat.
Camila clutched at her heart, which felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
“Oh my, what’s gotten into you, little heart? I really need to get you checked out tomorrow!”
“Could you start the car and turn on the air conditioning?” Connor felt inexplicably stuffy inside the car.
“How do I do that? Where’s the air conditioning?” Camila looked at Connor, bewildered. This car was nothing like the ones at the driving school!
“Here.” Connor pointed.
“Got it,” Camila nodded.
Then, awkwardly, she asked, “The gas pedal is the one on the far right, right?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Connor stared at her in shock, silently buckling his seatbelt. “Yes.”
He sighed and then started explaining the car’s features and some basic driving techniques to Camila. His tone was patient, and his instructions were detailed. “Do you understand now?”
Camila nodded.
“Let’s drive out of the parking lot.”
“Drive… out? Me?” Camila tumed sharply to look at Connor, her eyes wide.
“Yes.”
Camila stiffly turned her head and saw the cars parked on either side. One was a Rolls–Royce limousine, Connor’s car. On the other side was a sports car of a brand she didn’t recognize. It was obviously very expensive.
She was almost in tears. “Sir, look at the cars on both sides. If I scratch or hit them, even selling me wouldn’t cover the costs!”
Connor chuckled. “If you hit them, I’ll just have to sell you.”
“Ah!” Camila exclaimed.
“The cars on both sides are mine. There will be no need to pay if you hit them,” Connor clarified.
This one too?” Camila pointed at the sports car.
“Yes.”
“Errr… Camila looked at him, her hands sweating as she gripped the steering wheel.
“Give it a try. Connor gave her an encouraging look.
Camila gritted her teeth and glanced at the cars on both sides. This man really trusted her to drive!
Camila carefully pressed the gas pedal, and the car slowly started moving. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, constantly aware of the vehicles around her.
Relax, take a deep breath, Connor instructed from the passenger seat.
Okay okay, Camila took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
took half an hour, but they finally drove out of the parking lot. “That went well, Connor remarked. “Pull over. Il drive for a bit. We’ll head to a rural area with less traffic, and then you can take over.
Okay Camila breathed a sigh of relief, unbuckling her seatbelt to switch places with Connor.
Connor carefully explained the functions of the vehicle and driving techniques. The brake is here, and the gas pattel. Remember that?: Connor gaked.
not much traffic here Conner void
Camila hummed in acknowledgment. The car slowly started, and she focused intently on the road ahead. She couldn’t afford to relax for even a moment. She wasn’t alone in the car–Connor was there too.
His life was worth far more than hers!
The driving instructor had taken her through this route before.
She noticed that the cars behind her were very far away, even further than when she drove the school’s cars. Indeed, driving a luxury car meant other vehicles didn’t dare get too close.
