100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 145 An Instant Driver!

Day Fourteen…

~~*****~~

Veronica left the rooftop with a triumphant smile. She could see that her provocation worked. Kathleen had a gloomy look in her eyes when she walked out a while ago.

She didn't wait for Veronica to say another word. She just left her without looking back.

"Hmm. I'm waiting for a good show. What will you do now, Kathleen? Will you still treat that bitch well? She might steal the man you like…" Veronica thought as she watched Kathleen's back from the distance.

Veronica wouldn't allow Abigail to get close to people around Nathan. She would try to sabotage her relationship with them. And she started with Kathleen.

Meanwhile, Kathleen headed to the ground floor of the hospital instead of going to Nathan's ward. She didn't want to see Abigail yet as her emotions were not yet stable.

Kathleen knew that Veronica was trying to stir a conflict between Abigail and her. However, she couldn't help herself from getting jealous of Abigail.

Stephen was so fond of her. What if he already had feelings for her? What should she do?

Kathleen just continued walking until she reached the elevator. She took the lift, going down. Just when she reached the ground floor, Kathleen bumped into Stephen and Aiden. They were standing in front of the elevator.

"Hey Kath!" Stephen greeted her with a smile. But Kathleen just looked at him with a blank expression.

Aiden frowned as he noticed her cousin's mood. This was the first time she gave Stephen a cold shoulder. His cousin was always cheerful and enthusiastic when in front of Stephen.

'Eh, what's wrong with her? She is quiet and looks very serious.' Aiden mused to himself, his eyes assessing Kathleen.

"Are you going back to the hotel? How about Abigail?" Stephen asked Kathleen again.

Her face contorted at the mention of Abigail. Stephen was searching for Abigail as soon as he arrived. Because of this, Kathleen gave another meaning to his action.

Despite her unpleasant mood, Kathleen tried her best to respond as she didn't want to look rude before Stephen's eyes.

"I think Abigail is still with Nathan. I'm going back to the hotel as I feel tired. I want to take a rest." Kathleen just gave him a faint smile, hiding the pain in her eyes.

Stephen turned to Aiden and said, "You should send her back to the hotel,"

Kathleen clenched her fists. She became more annoyed hearing those words from Stephen. 'Can't he just do it? Why didn't he volunteer himself? I would appreciate it more. But then again… I am just nothing to him… For him… I am just a cousin of his best friend.'

"Let's go. I'll drive you to the hotel." Aiden was about to grab her elbow but Kathleen took a step back, avoiding him.

"No! I can go back myself. I'm not a kid!" Kathleen spat back in annoyance. She failed to control her emotions.

Aiden and Stephen glanced at her with puzzlement. Something was off with her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I guess I'm just really tired. Go and see Nathan now. I will just grab a taxi!"

Afraid that the two men would still insist, Kathleen just walked past them, not waiting for them to stop her from leaving. She just wanted to be alone right now and gather herself.

The moment she turned her back on them, Kathleen's eyes had become misty, tears threatening to fall. She walked with large strides, wanting to leave the place as quickly as possible.

Then from her peripheral vision, she caught Aiden's figure running in her direction. He was trying to catch up.

'Fuck this annoying cousin of mine?! I already told him that I would go back alone. Why is he still following me?!' Kathleen cursed inwardly. She increased her pace, leaving the building in a hurry.

And just when she reached the entrance of the hospital, a car stopped in front of her. Without a second thought, Kathleen opened the car door and hopped in the back passenger seat.

The guy in the driver's seat was surprised by the sudden intrusion of a woman.

"Drive!" Kathleen commanded him with urgency as she could see Aiden inching closer and closer to them.

"Miss, this is not a Taxi!" The guy in the driver seat commented, refusing to follow her order.

"Please leave. Drive this car now!" Kathleen said desperately. Her voice cracked. The negative feelings she had been holding a while ago finally burst out.

"Miss, Can't you hear me? I said this is not–" the guy was not able to finish his words. He stopped mid-sentence as he saw Kathleen shedding tears.

'Fuck! Why is she crying?!'

Then the guy tossed a look at the window and noticed a guy running in their direction. At that moment, he thought the man running towards them was the reason why the strange woman was crying.

'Is she avoiding that man?' He thought to himself.

Before he knew it, he started the car and began moving away from the hospital.

'Damn! What am I thinking?' The guy scolded himself inwardly as he realized that he was not supposed to get involved. But in the end, he obeyed the woman's request and drove the car. Maybe it was because of the woman's tears.

"Where should I send you?" the guy softly asked Kathleen, staring at her through the rearview mirror.

"Anywhere… just far away from them," Kathleen mumbled absentmindedly, still shedding tears.

The guy heaved a deep sigh and said, "Miss, there is no such place as Just-Far-Away-From-Them place here. How can I send you to your destination?"

Kathleen raised her head to look at him. Their eyes met through the rearview mirror.

"Just drive me to the nearest club! I badly need a drink… to help me ease the pain," Kathleen said with her heartbroken voice.

He just nodded his head and didn't comment further. He couldn't believe that he had just become a driver. He was supposed to monitor Nathan Sparks tonight. But he ended up changing his plan.
