When I was getting scolded by my driving instructor , I deeply regretted my decision to learn how to drive .
It all started when Liam got drunk at a banquet and asked me to pick him up .
Instead , I called him a chauffeur .
You dont know how to drive ? 1/7 Chapter 4 + 5 Points No.
Samuel always drove , so I never learned .
Liam was furious at my lack of independence and insisted I get a drivers license .
Then , just as I left my driving lesson , completely drained , I got hit by a speeding motorcycle .
I didnt even learn to drive before ending up in an accident .
In the hospital , Liam fussed over me like a doting boyfriend , pouring tea and adjusting my pillows .
A passing nurse giggled , Your boyfriend is so sweet to you .
I stared at my arm , wrapped up like a mummy , and groaned .

The moment Samuel walked in , he caught sight of Liam feeding me soup .
He gave Liam a polite nod before quickly taking my injured hand in his own , his concern evident .
Every time I got hurt , Samuel always had the same look in his eyes .
That familiar feeling struck me again , a sharp ache I desperately wanted to ignore .
Liam cleared his throat and said lightly, Dont worry , Samuel .
Ill take good care of Evelyn .

calm as he looked away .
So , why did you suddenly decide to learn how to drive ? he asked .

That way , if we ever have to drink at a business event , she can drive me home .
You made her learn to drive … just so she could be your chauffeur ? Samuels voice was controlled , but the underlying discontent was impossible to miss .
I wanted to learn , I cut in .
Its not his fault .
Samuel looked at me in disbelief .
For the first time , his polite smile faded .
His lips trembled slightly before curving into a mocking smirk .

I came to say goodbye .
Im moving to France permanently , and I wont be coming back .
His voice was steady, but every word felt like a knife to my heart .
You take care , and dont get hurt again .
The day before my return , I received a call from Samuel he wanted to see me .
Evelyn , I dont want the shares you gave me .
When I met Samuel again , he looked much better than before .
He held the documents I had left at his place that day , furrowed his brows , and tossed them back into my arms .
5/7 Chapter 4 + 5 Points Samuel , this is just my token of appreciation .

Left with no choice , I decided to compromise for now , secretly planning to find another way later .
