How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 864

The business trip was arranged so suddenly that Elodie was completely baffled. She was just a junior in the PR department; what kind of work could possibly connect her to Jarrod?

Her suspicion grew when she stood in front of the car. "We're driving?"

All that way, by car?

Jarrod, dressed in a casual dark outfit instead of his usual suit, placed their luggage in the trunk. His expression was perfectly calm. "Yes. We'll be scouting some locations along the way."

Elodie felt something was off, but the big boss had spoken. What right did she have to question him?

She got into the car, still doubtful.

Jarrod handed her a pair of sunglasses. "Put these on if the sun gets in your eyes."

Elodie glanced at them and noticed they were the same model as the ones hanging from his shirt collar.

Her heart skipped a beat. "Did you buy these specially?"

"They were a bulk purchase."

"..."

So much for that. She fell silent.

But the idea of a road trip to their destination still bothered her. After hesitating, she finally asked, "Are you sure you have the stamina for this?"

Jarrod glanced at her, a strange look in his eyes. "What exactly are you questioning?"

"..." Elodie realized her words could be misinterpreted and quickly stammered, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just got my license a month before graduation, so my probationary period isn't even over. If you get tired from the long drive, I can't take over for you."

Jarrod saw the tips of her ears turn red. She was so easy to tease; he hadn't even really started.

He turned the steering wheel, a slight smile playing on his lips as he checked the rearview mirror. "If I start driving drowsy, we'll just end up in a ditch together. We'll leave it up to fate."

Elodie swallowed. "..."

How was she supposed to close her eyes now? She'd have to stay on guard even if she was dead tired.
