    Now, they were only a few inches apart.


    “Is this okay?” Connor turned to look at her.


    Cam nodded vigorously, her body tensing and leaning back as her heart pounded like it was at a


    rave, the loud thumps chaotically bouncing inside her.


    Connor finally settled back into the passenger seat.


    Cam clutched at her heart, which felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.


    “Oh my, what’s gotten into you, little heart? I really need to get you checked out tomorrow!”


    “Could you start the car and turn on the air conditioning?” Connor felt inexplicably stuffy inside the


    car.


    “How do I do that? Where’s the air conditioning?” Cam looked at Connor, bewildered. This car


    was nothing like the ones at the driving school!


    “Here.” Connor pointed.


    “Got it,” Cam nodded.


    Then, awkwardly, she asked, “The gas pedal is the one on the far right, right?”


    Connor stared at her in shock, silently buckling his seatbelt. “Yes.”


    He sighed and then started exining the car’s features and some basic driving techniques to


    Cam. His tone was patient, and his instructions were detailed. “Do you understand now?”


    Cam nodded.


    “Let’s drive out of the parking lot.”


    “Drive… out? Me?” Cam tumed sharply to look at Connor, her eyes wide.


    “Yes.”


    Cam stiffly turned her head and saw the cars parked on either side. One was a Rolls–Royce


    limousine, Connor’s car. On the other side was a sports car of a brand she didn’t recognize. It was


    obviously very expensive.


    She was almost in tears. “Sir, look at the cars on both sides. If I scratch or hit them, even selling me


    wouldn’t cover the costs!”


    Connor chuckled. “If you hit them, I’ll just have to sell you.”


    “Ah!” Cam eximed.


    “The cars on both sides are mine. There will be no need to pay if you hit them,” Connor rified.


    This one too?” Cam pointed at the sports car.


    “Yes.”


    “Errr… Cam looked at him, her hands sweating as she gripped the steering wheel.


    “Give it a try. Connor gave her an encouraging look.


    Cam gritted her teeth and nced at the cars on both sides. This man really trusted her to drive!


    Cam carefully pressed the gas pedal, and the car slowly started moving. She gripped the steering


    wheel tightly, constantly aware of the vehicles around her.

    Rx, take a deep breath, Connor instructed from the passenger seat.


    Okay okay, Cam took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.


    took half an hour, but they finally drove out of the parking lot. “That went well, Connor remarked.


    “Pull over. Il drive for a bit. We’ll head to a rural area with less traffic, and then you can take over.


    Okay Cam breathed a sigh of relief, unbuckling her seatbelt to switch ces with Connor.


    Connor carefully exined the functions of the vehicle and driving techniques. The brake is here,


    and the gas pattel. Remember that?: Connor gaked.


    not much traffic here Conner void


    Cam hummed in acknowledgment. The car slowly started, and she focused intently on the road


    ahead. She couldn’t afford to rx for even a moment. She wasn’t alone in the car–Connor was


    there too.


    His life was worth far more than hers!


    The driving instructor had taken her through this route before.


    She noticed that the cars behind her were very far away, even further than when she drove the


    school’s cars. Indeed, driving a luxury car meant other vehicles didn’t dare get too close.
