Celestine froze, looking at the person offering her the towel.
The man had opened his eyes at some point, his gray irises still holding a trace of lazy fatigue.
When she didn’t move, his large hand took the towel and began to gently dry her hair.
“The rain is coming down hard.”
The car was well-insulated from the sound.
Only the soft ticking of a clock could be heard.
Celestine’s heart began to race in time with it, and her voice was barely a whisper. “Yes… sorry for the intrusion.”
She instinctively tried to take the towel from Gideon’s hand.
But since she wasn’t looking, as her fingertips touched the towel on her head, they accidentally brushed against his warm hand. A jolt went through her.
Celestine looked up at Gideon.
The man was sitting comfortably in his seat, watching her with a faint, unreadable smile.
“What’s wrong?”
Celestine’s fingers recoiled slightly as she took the towel. “Nothing… thank you.”
Gideon gave a slight nod.
As if nothing had happened, he closed his eyes again.
Celestine dabbed at her hair with the towel, her gaze occasionally stealing a glance at Gideon.
Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions.
Meanwhile, Vernon, driving in the front, was nearly ecstatic, slowing the car to a speed that a grandmother crossing the street could have outpaced.
*Yes! The boss pulled it off again!*
*He came here early specifically to pick up Miss Selwyn! He even had a towel ready in advance!*
*And he had me tell Miss Selwyn that we were just on our way to get Miss Cynthia, and that he was up all—night—long—working.*
*As if he wasn’t just up all night watching over Miss Selwyn’s apartment!*
*Tsk, tsk, tsk!*
Celestine was completely unaware of all this.
She thought it was all just a coincidence.
A subtle smile played on Gideon’s lips.
After they successfully picked up Cynthia, the quiet car instantly became lively.
She insisted on sitting in the back, squeezing herself between Gideon and Celestine.
