Thereâs nobody else.
â
Raegan, initially angry, now felt her cheeks grow warm.
She dismissed his words, âStop talking nonsense.
â
Mitchel looked somewhat hurt, reminding her, âYou just said you wanted to give us a try.
â
Raegan immediately regretted her previous words.
âForget that idea.
Itâs off the table.
â
âI donât care.
As of now, weâre an item.
â
Raegan found herself speechless.
She then instructed the taxi driver, âPlease start driving.
â
Those few words left Mitchel without a comeback.
He realized an explanation now was pointless.
Then, he addressed the driver, âCould you and I swap vehicles?â
The taxi driver was puzzled, questioning, âWhat? Why?â
Mitchel handed the car keys he had received from Matteo to the taxi driver.
âI need to borrow your car for a bit, and you can take mine.
Is that fine?â
The taxi driver shook his head.
âSorry, I need my car to work.
â
Raegan appreciated the taxi driverâs integrity.
She apologized, âIâm sorry for the trouble.
Please keep the fare going, and Iâll cover the cost.
â
With no alternatives left, Mitchelâs attention was caught by an ad in the taxi for a night shift driver.
He inquired, âAre you looking for someone to work the night shift?â
âs BunnyBookery Pushing Matteo forward slightly, Mitchel asked, âHow about him for the job?â
Had he not been drinking, Mitchel would have considered the job for himself.
The driver chuckled.
âI appreciate the humor, young man.
â
Mitchel doubled down, âSeriously, Iâm not kidding.
â
Matteo chimed in, âHeâs serious.
â After all, being an assistant often meant taking on varied roles.
Yet, venturing into taxi driving at night was indeed a new challenge.
With a serious tone, Mitchel explained to the taxi driver, âThatâs my wife over there.
Iâve made a mistake, and now sheâs locked me out.
If you donât let him try out this job, Iâll end up without a wife.
â
Utilizing his appealing looks, Mitchel seemed genuinely earnest.
Mitchel urged, âYou donât want to witness us go separate ways, do you? Could you bear to see us split over a misunderstanding?â
Matteo found himself at a loss for words.
