Chapter 26 Caught “About two hours, the salesperson replied.

Ben looked at his watch, “That won‘t work. I have things to do later. Can you talk with that lady and see

if she can let us buy the car first? We can compensate her for it.”

The salesperson went back to Gianna to pass on the message.

As expected, she declined. She was buying a car to pick up someone and waiting another two hours w ould have defeated the purpose of it.

When the bargaining failed, Ben held the woman in his arms and comforted, “Sweetheart, why don‘t we buy it together when I come back next time?”

She pouted. “You‘ll be away for a week this time.”

He coaxed, “What can we do? I have to work so I can marry you! Here; let‘s do this. I’ll pay for it first, and you can call a friend over to wait with you for the car to arrive. How‘s that?”

She whined, “But I want to send you off too.”

“You don‘t have to. I can take a taxi there myself and you just wait here for the car to arrive. You have to drive it today.”

The woman looked happy again and teased, “Then don‘t say I don‘t love you later!”

, He coddled her. “Okay, you naughty!”

They did not speak quietly. Hence, Gianna heard everything they said. He does not look very likable, but he‘s pretty skilled at coaxing a woman.

Gianna did not concern herself with them any further and followed behind the salesperson to pay.

The salesperson quickly settled the transaction.

First, she went to get Kate, then the two of them made their way to the airport. After rushing all the way

there, they were able to make it before three.

When the car stopped, Kate had gone pale with fear. “Gianna, can you please go a bit slower? Do you t hink you‘re on a racetrack? There are cars everywhere here.”

Gianna looked at her with a baffled look. “You‘re just too timid. Look at the time. Landon will be out soon.”

Kate supported herself against the car as she got down with quivering legs. “Let him wait when he com es out later. It‘s not worth wasting our lives for him. He was only gone for a few days and now he‘s back again.” Gianna shot a glance at her. “I told you not to come but you insisted on coming.”

Kate snorted. “Did you think I came to pick him up? I came to give him a good earful.”

“Okay, okay. Let‘s go in and give him an earful now,” Gianna said as she pulled her along.

They went into the main hall of the airport and waited. Time continued to tick by and it was already past three. They only found out later that the flight was delayed.

Kate looked at her. “I told you we didn‘t have to rush When has Landon ever been reliable? Look; even

the flight he‘s on isn‘t reliable!”

“Both of you are like water and fire–born to be in complete opposition of each other!”

After that, they went to the restroom. Just as Gianna came out, she saw a familiar face––Kaylee.

She frowned. Who is she here for?
