As soon as I settled in, the car took off.

I watched the ever-changing scenery outside the window and the beautiful sunset, feeling my anxiety slowly fade away.

But this peace didn’t last long.

When I glanced in the rearview mirror, I saw something unsettling.

The driver was a stranger to me.

Confusion swept over me.

What was happening?

“Ivy, take a look at the driver.

I’ve been out with Andrew before, and I sort of remember his driver.

But this one, I don’t recall at alll”

The more I talked, the tighter my chest felt with growing unease.

Ivy was quiet for a moment, then reassured me, “Honey, don’t worry.

Maybe Andrew assigned this driver temporarily and he’s not officially hired yet.

Her words sounded unsure.

I gripped my dress, remaining silent.

Given how fast we were going, even if I wanted to stop now, it would be too late.

I tried to strike up a casual conversation with the driver to get some information.

“Hello, sir.

How long have you been working for Mr.

Pierce? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.

The driver’s response was cold and brief.

“A while.

His short reply suggested he was avoiding the question.

Holding back my frustration, I continued in a calm, polite voice, “Does Mr.

Pierce usually have you pick up guests in this car? I haven’t seen it before.

He glanced at me through the rearview mirror and answered stiffly, “Sort of.

His unclear reply tested Ivy’s patience.

“What do you mean by sort of?”

I wanted a more specific answer, but sensing more questions coming, the driver became noticeably impatient.

“I’m driving.

Talking to you can be distracting and dangerous.

Could you please stop?”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, I managed a smile and stopped pushing.

“Alright.

However, Ivy wasn’t ready to give up.

“Honey, keep asking! He doesn’t seem incapable of answering the questions.

I let out a sigh, shaking my head.

“It’s no use.

We’re not going to get anything more from him.

It’s clear he’s cautious around me, trying not to reveal anything.

Puzzled, Ivy asked, “Why would that be?”

I was just as confused.
