    Chapter 1669


    Skyler, “If it’s inconvenient for you, forget about it.”


    Zavier didn’t respond to her and simply got into his car.


    Skyler just stood there, frozen, not daring to move an inch. She hadn’t even mustered the courage to


    ask for a ride to school. She was merely hoping for a lift out of the suburban maze to catch the bus or


    subway more easily.


    Taxis in the Capital were a luxury she seldom afforded; public transport and walking were her usual


    modes of transport. Every penny saved was a penny earned, after all..


    But it seemed even a short trip to the edge of the neighborhood was too much to ask of him. No matter.


    She’d just have to hustle a bit faster. Missing one lecture probably wouldn’t set her back too much.


    “Skyler, what are you still standing there for?” Zavier’s voice suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts.


    Was he actually offering her a ride? A rush of gratitude flooded her as she quickly yanked open the


    passenger door and hopped into his sports car. It was a two-seater, so the passenger seat was her


    only option.e2


    Zavier smoothly pulled out of the driveway as Skyler whipped out her phone to check the map. They


    just needed to head right out of the neighborhood for about a kilometer to find a subway station. On


    foot, that would take her about ten minutes, but with a press of Zavier’s foot on the pedal, they’d be


    there in a sh. “Zavier, you can just pull over here. This is perfect, thanks.”


    He didn’t even nce her way, just floored it past the subway entrance by several hundred meters.


    Skyler got the message. “Thank you, really.”


    “For what?” Zavier grunted.


    “For giving me a lift. Otherwise, I’d be on that subway going round in circles for an extra hour.”


    “It’s on the way, not like I went out of my way for you.”


    “And for standing up for me.”


    Zavier raised an eyebrow, “I just praised you for not being dumb, and now you’re making me regret my


    words.”


    “I know you were protecting your own reputation when you helped me, but whatever your reasons, it


    helped me too, and for that, I’m


    thankful.”

    Zavier shot her a quick look, “Idiot.”


    How could there be someone so naive? p her, then hand her a candy, and she’d still smile. Zavier


    had no idea that for Skyler, who had faced nothing but bullying and coldness all her life, even the


    smallest kindness felt like a burst of sunshine in the dead of winter.


    Zavier didn’t say another word, and Skyler turned to look at him. His features were impable, even


    from the side.


    “You’re really handsome, no wonder so many girls at school are into you,” she said with disarming


    directness.


    Her frankness actually threw Zavier off his game.


    “You’re a good person, too, Skyler continued. His words might be sharp, but she sensed a kindness


    beneath.


    “I don’t need your opinion on whether I’m a good person or not,” Zavier snapped back.


    Skyler fell silent. What set him off this time? Better to keep her mouth shut.


    They left before the morning rush, the roads were clear, and Zavier drove fast. In less than thirty


    minutes, they were nearing the school.


    There was still time, so Zavier pulled over at the intersection near the school and said, “You can get off


    here.”


    “Okay,” Skyler replied, gathering her things, She knew she’d make it to ss with time to spare, thanks


    to the unexpected ride.
