“Okay, I'll concede,” she says and starts to pull away, but I caught her hand.

“There's one more thing.”

She sighed.

“What is it?”

“You can't take public transportation again for the duration of however long this will be. I'll get you a car and a driver.”

Her mouth fell open as she watched me, and I made my gaze even more stern.

“Non-negotiable.”

“Non-negotiable! This is New York. I don't…”

“Hannah,” I growled, and her shoulders slumped in defeat. “It's for my peace of mind.”

“Okay,” she replied. “But… I don’t need a driver. I can drive myself.”

This immensely amused me.

“You know how to drive?”

“Want me to drive you home tonight to prove it?” she asked, and I nodded.

“Yes. Yes, I absolutely do.”

Chapter Fifty-Six

Hannah

“Icannot believe you chose a Toyota.”

At my mom’s words, I couldn't help but laugh.

“What else was I supposed to choose? An Aston Martin?”

“Yes!” My mom yelled. “What is wrong with you? What are you trying to prove? He's richer than you, enjoy this. It doesn't mean that you won't be just as rich as he is in the future or even more. In short, his influence on you, you've told me, is wonderful. Being around him will expose you to wealth and businesses… you'll grow even more.”

“So you're not upset that I'm dating my boss?” I asked, as I twisted the lock to my apartment. I was excited because, for the first time in months, I was able to drive over to see her. The hassle of public transportation had made these visits infrequent, but in the month since Guy had insisted that I get my own car, I hadn't been able to get out of it.

“I'm incredibly happy you have good taste. Or else, with your lack of dating escapades, I was sure you were a lesbian. At some point, I was hoping you were one because how does a gorgeous girl like you have no stories whatsoever?”

I couldn’t stop laughing as I headed down to where the car was parked opposite my building and got in.

“You're leaving now?” She asked, and I nodded.

“Yeah, I'll be there soon.”

“You couldn’t come over last weekend because you were feeling nauseous. Have you checked why?”

My smile began to dissipate.

“I'm fine now,” I replied. “It passed. I'm better.”

“Alright,” she said. “I'm not going to rush.”

“You're also not going to threaten me to not be pregnant?” I asked.
