Her voice quivered as she asked, “Where are we headed?"

Leonel stayed silent, simply dialing a number and ordering, “Head downstairs now."

With that command given, he ended the call, still paying no attention to Anika. Leaning back, he sat quietly, cigarette in hand, a sight that comforted Anika's eyes.

Anika decided not to bug him further and just kept gazing at Leonel, totally captivated.

She couldn't figure out why any woman would be so cold towards someone like Leonel.

That lady had acted all high and mighty just because she came from money !

Before long, Noreen dashed down from upstairs, thinking it was urgent.

But when she saw what was happening through the rolled-down window, she was shocked...

Anika was seated right next to Leonel.

Was Leonel losing his marbles?

Why would he let this ambitious girl in his car?

Alexis had already filed for divorce. If he wasn't keen on splitting up with her, shouldn't he cut ties with Anika? Why was he still messing around with her?

Or did he actually have a soft spot for Anika?

After being dumbstruck for a bit, Noreen cautiously asked, "Do you require any help, Mr. Douglas?"

She got into the car as Leonel requested. Then, she heard Leonel tell the driver, "Take Miss Cohen home."

Feeling both surprised and a bit flattered, Anika quietly gave the driver her address, filled with anticipation...

Holding back his annoyance, the driver hit the gas.

Meanwhile, Noreen also said nothing more and sat on the passenger seat quietly.

She was at a loss for words!

Rain poured down once more, filling the car with a heavy silence.
